Jim entered college with a skepticism about life. The idea of God seemed "silly". He poured his life into a successful career in magic where a lot of his skepticism was confirmed. There really are "trap doors" and "smoke and mirrors." But despite doubts, radical things were happening in Jim's life to turn his world upside down. And then, just when he thought he had it all figured out: Leukemia. When faced with the choices of how to proceed, Jim knew his best chance of living was to allow himself to die first. Chemotherapy to destroy blood cells. New blood to replace his own. Yet how could he allow himself to endure the agony? And why was this happening?

This guy came and did a show at UC Irvine last year and it was incredible. Totally filled up the second biggest room the campus has, 1100 people or so. Even if people didn't turn their lives towards Jesus right at that show so many people were affected and had a chance to see what God can do. This guy does great things. Pray that he would continually be used to bring more and more people to christ

[@c8smail]

Totally agree!

[@c8smail]

I saw you in Brussels several years ago. Fantastic show. Fantastic testimony. Best part was when you met that 19 year old female who agreed to come and meet you. You said "What would you feel when you saw the person who saved your life?" Awesome, isn't it, what Jesus did for every single ONE of us... I too am second.

[@pepperann123456]

These videos are profound The production is stunning I hope they keep it up True ministry

[@Lenalou03]

I legit teared up watching this video. Gah... So good. I love how God impacts each person in these I Am Second videos in completely unique ways. He's so good!

[@cindydberry1]

This video was shown at our church this morning. My husband was just diagnosed with Luekemia on July 14, 2011. This was such an amazing example of the life we have in Christ, but also was an encouragement to us, as we have just found a match for a transplant. The thought of the probability of that are so amazing. Blessings to you Joe! ~ Vic and Cindy

[@c8smail]

Actually, it's Jim... 😊

[@buzzfuzzel]

What is the difference between Magic and Miracle? Magic makes a lie appear to be true. A Miracle reveals Truth.

[@Rosemarie172]

That's good!

[@mightymouse1005]

Magic is deception Miracle is clarity

[@RVMendoza]

What an amazing perspective on the Gospel! So relevant.

[@Juanbobo13]

Jim was born to tell his story and imprint his life upon ours. Thank you for your time today at ETSU, Jim. I was very moved. God Bless.

[@mattmears2318]

This is beautiful! Thank you, Jesus, for your blood!

[@jackiesiple518]

Thank you for sharing your story. It is amazing. God meets us were we are and knows what we need to fully see him. Thank you Lord.

[@bungalowmo]

This testimony is the ultimate example of “Born Again”! Our God is SO good! ❤️🙏

[@stevesparks4447]

What a powerful testimony to the saving power of Jesus’ shed blood and resurrection for us ! Thank you Lord Jesus

[@nontypicalguy]

It made me cry the way that a parallel was made between the donor giving blood and Jesus giving His blood & life for us.

[@elizabethlikestruth6536]

Beautiful testimony. Thank you, Father, for Jim's story.

[@user-ow4jh5qe7j]

My church has been showing this video the past couple days I also saw you in whitewater with my church your amazing and glad that your well much love

[@charllybadu7234]

[@mrzrabbit9294]

Tears...God is awesome 🙏

[@xeroxxerox-iw4wh]

Man is awesome, science is awesome, reality is awesome...

[@theresahofstetter1339]

This is so powerful. Thank you for sharing.

[@Mindsetolympics]

praise God

[@jennifercompau8070]

🙏thank you jim, 🙏thank you jesus, i you am second too❤

[@michaelah.2445]

nobody could describe it better...

[@damon9330]

Only people can help people.

[@CelticCross777]

I agree that life holds wonderful mysteries, friend. The step of faith is sometimes hard and doesn't make sense, intellectually. But God loves you even if you don't believe in Him. In fact, He gave His son for you, Jim Munroe, me, and everybody else who accepts Him. He loved the whole world so much that He gave Jesus, His Son, to die for us and if we believe to have eternal life with Him. Open your heart to Him. Bless you.

[@perryharris6066]

One of my favorite..

[@GP-fc2xx]

Such a strong testimony! Thanks for it! God bless you abundantly!

[@jesseeide1155]

This is amazing and cool how God made it so real to him that God is real. This definatly encouraged me.

[@d9918]

Just heard your story on the latest episode of Radio Lab, I'm a keen listener of the show and your story was the best episode I've heard.

[@TatyLad]

WOW!!!!

[@saraelizabethbuyer]

i love this, God is incredible

[@oregonrain4249]

Amazing.... and true! Thank you for sharing! From Oregon, ✝️

[@allipi8571]

crying 🙏❤️

[@swstryker]

What more can be said after that? Unbelievable story of God working a miracle to save ONE man's life. That's how much He loves ME! That's how much He loves YOU!

[@jolyn2133]

Amazing Testimony ❤

[@ogunitracy]

That you are happy and fulfilled doesn't show that we are not ill. It just shows that you do not know it.

[@levibowden]

We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony...

[@tammymccollum5402]

Wow! ❤

[@totallytania7978]

Beautiful story...

[@Truepatriot2010]

Not a believer, but wow this was still powerful. You don't need to believe in God to appreciate life when you see things like this.

[@kotzting]

What a wonderful analogy. Of all the billions of people who have lived on this earth there is only one blood donor that will save us from death. And for every man or woman, that One donor is a perfect match.

[@1simplynew]

Seeing God from behind the curtain!! Oh my what a powerful analogy...

[@UKnaturaljoy]

great testimony!

[@garyjohn8297]

Some of you who have added your own comments about how this is science and not God have missed the whole point. Jim is telling his story... not yours! He started with something like, "God if you are there, show me proof behind the curtain and smokin mirrors." What transpired convinced Jim, and that is his story. You can't tell him he's wrong. You can say it is not your story, but you can't take it away from Jim... unless of course you are brave enough to make a similar deal with God?

[@pedinurse1]

omg how powerful

[@annettedorman7377]

❤

[@marilyntappy6852]

I believe also.

[@marilyntappy6852]

i am second.

[@startingoverat43withnikkib58]

awesome!!

[@karenac.69]

Wow!

[@cherielee1090]

😓 ONLY God creates miracles - now that's REAL MAGIC. Bless it be you Jim, continual blessings to you and your family. God is good, all the time God is good. Praise God!💗🙏👍

[@xeroxxerox-iw4wh]

Miralces real magic by "god"? Maybe "god" should do some miralces to stop the suffering in the world...

[@CelticCross777]

cindyberry1, just reading your post. I was moved and inspired by your simple faith in Christ. How is your husband's treatment going? Praying for him, and you.

[@Clarky316]

Amen!!!!!!!!

[@holyrhino5833]

Looking forward to Jim sharing at WatermarkOC Church in Costa Mesa, Cali on Sept. 13, 2014 - yes, that's a plug. If you're in So Cal come hang out with us.

[@swimmer1293]

.... to be true. It is both intellectually satisfying and spiritually fulfilling. Personally though, it goes beyond any of that for me. However I would be glad to answer anything questions or complaints about Christianity. Just message me.

[@garycozcosio6102]

\0/KING JESUS ❤\0/ Awesome! Amen. 🙏

[@jennelljenney]

Throw in the fact that that 19 year old girl was an atheist.

[@xeroxxerox-iw4wh]

Was she? How do you know? I would like to know! Because not a word of her in his story...

[@jennelljenney]

@@xeroxxerox-iw4wh Because it was me.

[@sjferrandi]

I love how there are only likes on this video :)

[@evelynreyes6716]

😭😭🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@c8smail]

Actually, I think you shared that you got diagnosed at Christmas and had the transplant on April 23rd, three days after Easter. Resurrection day for you!

[@MPaulHolmesMPH]

My wife had a dream where an angel told her that she was going to have a baby in the middle of december, and that another interesting thing would happen in the middle of september. Well, she did have a baby in the middle of December, and the dream was 266 days before the birth. It takes 266 days from fertilization to birth (on average). We hadn't been together in a couple weeks when she had that dream. We got tons of sales in August and September, and finished paying all our debts sept 14th.

[@gigimc]

this is *his* story -- what I don't understand is why people feel the need to apply it everybody else... faith is deeply personal.

[@TheXxRAMSAYxx]

wow

[@andreapadillacollazo7963]

I dont even know what i have... But, my story is not complete yet. I guess

[@fisherwomen1515]

Because he asked God to make it real because he wasn't sure if he wanted to believe this, and what he went through pretty much after he prayed that is pretty much exactly what the bible talks about about jesus blood being for us and him living in us. A little bit to on point to be just a coincidence but it is his story :)

[@MPaulHolmesMPH]

By "not together" I mean sexually. The implication is that those little guys can live for a while. Think before asking these questions. I wasn't telling that story to convince you of anything. It was for others who are capable of being reached by God.

[@ugoodanny1]

The Blood Of Jesus!!!

[@swimmer1293]

Variety of beliefs tells us nothing about whether that belief is true or not. It is estimated that about 3% of world population call themselves atheists while a combined about 10% say they are "non-religious." You would tell me its ludicrous to assert that sense only 3% of the world population calls themselves atheist, it is a false belief. We need to look at the reasons behind a belief to determine whether or not it's true. I personally believe Christianity has good reasons......

[@dookieshoes6838]

Chris Hoops thank you! I always tell people that

[@dookieshoes6838]

Chris Hoops and if I’m not mistaken, the Christian Bible is the only “religious” book that allows you to challenge it with reasoning. Btw, I put the word religious in quotations because so many people call Christianity a religion when’s it is a relationship

[@MPaulHolmesMPH]

As I was saying, this story wasn't for you. Now go troll elsewhere.

[@marylouprichard8788]

Does he mention that the donor is an atheist?

[@bungalowmo]

I wonder if he ever met the donor

[@nErDyDINoGoRAWrZ]

no god in my book but a pretty cool story. its funny in an ironic sort of way that instead of having the blood of how he looks he has a that of a 19 year old female. you gotta admit thats pretty awesome. and i still dont see how that can prove a god. its science, medical shit, and stats. nothing more.

[@ogunitracy]

Well, I tried. :)

[@swstryker]

Why are you on here? Seriously? Is it your goal in life to criticize and mock others beliefs and faith? Does that make you happy? According to one of your posts there are "a vast number of people just like myself that live happy fulfilling and moral godless lives." If you are so happy why do you try to make others unhappy? How is that moral and self-satisfying? I think you are possibly fooling yourself.
