Monsters Inside Me: A Riveting Love Story to Death and Back

June 10, 2025

What happens when a Christian psychiatrist wants to marry a “spiritual” Richard Dawkins atheist—and then a medical crisis involving multiple organ failures and a medically induced coma changes everything? 


Join Frank as he sits down with Garrett & Aja Halweg, a married couple that formed a powerful union against all odds! Tune in as they share their story of Garrett's brush with death, Aja's testimony of becoming a Christian, and how both of these events ultimately led them to become powerful ambassadors for Christ (and appear on Animal Planet)! Tune in as they unpack their story and answer questions like:


  • How did Garrett and Aja initially form a strong connection despite their opposing worldviews?
  • Why did doctors misdiagnose Garrett and how did God providentially reveal the true cause of his life-threatening illness to Aja?
  • What series of events led to Aja's conversion and baptism?
  • Why did Aja experience a post-conversion crisis of faith and what role did apologetics play in strengthening her new belief in Christianity?
  • Why does Garrett believe that God allowed him to get sick?
  • How did Aja maintain peace throughout Garrett's time in the hospital?
  • What troubling scenes did Garrett see during his near death experience, and how did Biola & Talbot professors help him to process this traumatic encounter with the unseen realm?


Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction, and you definitely don't want to miss this amazing story of God's provision and providence!
