The Full Life Podcast with Melanie Lynam

Ps. Tom and Debbie Conwell - ‘Dead on the beach’ (I believe in Miracles Collection)

Tom and Debbie Conwell are Pastors at Calvary Church on the Sunshine Coast.

Ps. Tom suffered a massive heart attack while surfing at Dicky Beach. His heart stopped for 6 minutes. Statistically he shouldn’t be alive. And even alive, he should have brain damage. But listen as Tom and Debbie tell us their story of how God lined up the right circumstances and the right people to be at the right place and time, so that He could intervene in the most incredible way. And then plot twist, God had another agenda all along, to use this story to save not only Ps Tom’s life but also multiple souls for eternity.

His wife Debbie was told to be prepared for brain damage.

Debbie experienced inexplainable peace.

There were any miracles around that day.

“Everything lined up for you that day.” - Ambulance officer

Doctors would walk in and say, “Where’s the miracle man?”

Told by a nurse that there was a 1% chance of surviving a cardiac arrest outside of hospital.

One good thing that came of this was that a number of people came to know Jesus as their Lord and saviour.

“God knew that I needed saving physically and she needed saving spiritually.”

Says Tom when talking about the fragility of life, “I’m catching my last wave in on my board and next thing I’m dead on the beach.”

“Statistically I shouldn’t be here.”

When asked what this experience has done to her faith Debbie replies, “What it’s shown me is that God is in control…God worked out every minute detail to see it come to pass. So I think if God can be in control of that, I can trust him with everything.” - Debbie
