Divine Intervention: Episode # 175: Illusionist healed of Leukemia, Jim Munroe!

On this episode of Divine Intervention, we welcome Illusionist, Jim Munroe. Jim Munroe is an author, speaker, and skeptic. After a promising career in baseball ended in disappointment and confusion with a blown shoulder at the University of Texas, Munroe turned his mind towards investigating various philosophies and beliefs. Despite significant doubt at the time in the idea of a god, Munroe absorbed and tested Christianity as he searched for meaning. This investigation into the unknown and the supernatural also manifested itself in another pursuit: Magic.

Munroe loved magic. It blended perfectly with his belief that God was just a bunch of smoke and mirrors. That behind every religious curtain was a lie. However, the further he investigated Jesus, the more convinced he became that Truth existed in Him. And just as his magic career was taking off, Munroe found himself accepting Christ as his personal Lord and Savior.

By 2009, Munroe had become one of the most sought after magicians in the world; touring to hundreds of cities and seeing sold out concert halls and theaters at almost every venue. It was at this time, his journey took an unexpected turn. His life was flipped upside down by a devastating diagnosis that gave him only a few months to live: Leukemia.

"Where do you turn when you have nothing but God to turn to?" Jim asks to the crowds to whom he now speaks. "There's something about facing death square in the eyes that changes your perspective." (See more of Jim's unbelievable story of survival at http://www.iamsecond.com/seconds/jim-munroe/).

Today, Jim Munroe is the author of "The Charlatan" and a sought after speaker at conferences and events around the world. When he is not speaking or writing, he leads a theatrical production company called The Maze which performs throughout the world. He is a member of Gateway Church and lives with his wife and two children just outside Dallas, TX.
