Ep 11: I Saw Four People Raised from the Dead… But Why Not Five?

What happens when you’ve seen God move in undeniable ways… and then He doesn’t?

In this powerful and personal episode of The Elevation Room, gospel artist, comedian, and pastor Donnie Bolden Jr. opens up about his extraordinary childhood encounter with God, the prophetic word spoken over him at just five years old, and the winding journey through calling, purpose, and platform.

But the real heart of the conversation comes when Donnie vulnerably shares about the death of his mother in 2017—a woman he watched lay hands and see four people raised from the dead. In one of the most emotional stories we've had on the podcast, Donnie unpacks the faith crisis that followed, the pain of unanswered prayers, and the gentle way God restored his heart with a simple message: “Even in your doubt, I still love you.”

This episode will bless anyone who’s:

• wrestled with disappointment in faith,
• questioned God’s silence, or
• needed a reminder that miracles don’t always look like what we expect.

 💬 You’ll hear about:

• Donnie’s early musical calling and ministry roots
• Lessons from grief, legacy, and prayer
• Balancing talent, timing, and trust
• God’s ability to restore your belief when it feels broken
