The Hidden Heart Behind the Miracle Road Audiobook
In this heartfelt episode of the Angela Adkins Podcast, Angela celebrates the official launch of the Miracle Road audiobook with the woman who brought her story to life through narration, Cori Trumbull.
Angela and Cori talk about what it was like to turn Miracle Road from a printed book into an audiobook experience. Because Cori knows Angela personally through church, friendship, and serving together on the praise team, narrating the book was more than just reading words on a page. It became a personal, emotional, and faith-filled journey.
Cori shares how she worked to capture Angela’s voice, heart, humor, and testimony in a way that felt real and authentic. She explains why nonfiction narration cannot feel overly polished or acted out, especially when the story is rooted in real-life trauma, healing, and faith. For Cori, the goal was to make listeners feel like they were stepping into Angela’s story and experiencing the “But God” moments for themselves.
The conversation also highlights the power of audiobooks to reach people who may not be able to read the printed page. Cori shares how meaningful it is to know that Miracle Road can now encourage people while they are driving, cleaning, walking, praying, or simply needing hope in a difficult season.
Throughout the episode, Angela and Cori reflect on the emotional moments, the funny behind-the-scenes parts of recording, the ACX audiobook process, and the importance of choosing a narrator who has more than just a good voice. They both agree that a powerful audiobook needs authenticity, emotion, storytelling, and a heart connected to the message.
At its core, this episode is about more than the launch of an audiobook. It is about testimony, healing, faith, and the reminder that God is still working miracles today.
