Madelie Dickson: God’s plans and unexpected blessings
Dr. Anita Turner opens Won't God Do It with scripture reminders—Matthew 19:26, Mark 10:27, Philippians 4:13—and prayer, inviting viewers into a space where faith meets everyday miracles. In a warm interview style, Dr. Anita introduces guest Madelie Dickson, setting the tone for a testimony that blends testimony, gratitude, and prophetic surprise.
A Life of Faith and a Testimony of Healing
Madelie, 38 and a kidney transplant survivor, shares how faith shaped her life from accepting Christ at nine to surviving dialysis and receiving a transplant in 2011. Dr. Anita highlights scriptures like Jeremiah 29:11 and 1 Corinthians 2:9 to frame Madelie’s story: God’s plans and unexpected blessings often arrive when we’re simply living our daily lives—praying, worshiping, and staying in the Word.
A surprise that started with a trivia question
The heart of the episode is Madelie’s “Won’t God do it?” moment. While shopping for a composition book, she was asked by social media influencer Zach for $5 trivia: who won the first season of American Idol? Madelie answered “Kelly Clarkson.” Zach rewarded her $5, then handed her an envelope with $1,000—on camera. Madelie immediately blessed a woman nearby with $100. Later, after a blindfolded reveal at a Beverly Hills hotel, Kelly Clarkson herself appeared and gifted Madelie and her companion airfare, hotel, and close seats to her Vegas residency. The entire encounter—spontaneous generosity, the $100 blessing, and the celebrity surprise—was filmed and shared across YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, producing an emotional reaction from viewers.
Takeaways: praise, humility, and passing blessings on
Dr. Anita and Madelie underscore practical spiritual lessons: praise God for everyday blessings, avoid complaint (a “blessing blocker”), stay connected to a faith community, and be ready to bless others in return. Madelie’s simple response—giving away part of an unexpected gift—models gratitude and generosity. The episode closes with encouragement to watch the full video capture of the moment, reminding readers that God’s favor can show up in ordinary places and that staying thankful primes us for more. Watch the clip to see the joy, the tears, and the proof that sometimes faith and chance meet in miraculous ways.
