Angels are mentioned 273 times across 34 books of the Bible. These messengers are not mythology. They are not metaphor. And for Bruce Van Natta, they are not theory.Bruce van Natta was crushed beneath a semi-truck in a workplace accident so catastrophic that his chest was crushed and five of his main arteries were severed. By every medical measure, he should not have survived. But in those moments, Bruce says he left his body, watched the scene from above, and witnessed two enormous angels — one at each end of the truck — whose presence he believes is the only reason he drew another breath.In this episode of The UPside, award-winning host Marion MacKenzie sits down with Bruce Van Natta — author of Saved by Angels and featured voice in CBN's investigative series Angels & Demons with journalist Billy Hallowell — for a conversation about miraculous survival, the reality of the unseen realm, and what his encounter with Heaven means for the rest of us.In this conversation you'll discover:

→ What Bruce experienced during his near-death, out-of-body encounter beneath the truck

→ How two angels appeared — and what the doctors' own accounts confirmed

→ What the Bible actually teaches about angels, and their role in human affairs

→ How Bruce's story connects to CBN's compelling series Angels & Demons

→ What it means to carry a testimony the natural world cannot explain

→ How one unsurvivable moment became Bruce's life missionIf you've ever wondered whether Heaven is paying attention to your life — this conversation was made for you.

En este episodio hablamos de una situación que duele profundamente: cuando alguien cercano, especialmente un familiar, habla mal de ti.

A través de una pregunta real, exploramos cómo responder bíblicamente cuando somos heridos por palabras injustas:
 ¿Debo perdonar? ¿Confrontar? ¿Esperar?

Aprenderás a procesar el dolor sin culpa falsa, a preparar tu corazón antes de confrontar, y a confiar en la justicia de Dios cuando la reconciliación no depende de ti.

Este episodio te ayudará a caminar el perdón de forma práctica, honesta y profundamente arraigada en el Evangelio.

✨ Porque sí… duele.
 Pero también hay una forma bíblica de responder que refleja a Cristo.

En este episodio hablamos de:

•  Cómo procesar el dolor cuando viene de alguien cercano 
•  La diferencia entre culpa falsa y autorreflexión 
•  Qué hacer primero: sanar el corazón antes de confrontar 
•  Cómo confrontar bíblicamente sin atacar 
•  Qué significa hacer un compromiso vertical con Dios 
•  Cómo amar a alguien que está actuando como enemigo 
•  Cuándo poner límites saludables 
•  Por qué perdonar, confrontar y esperar… sí pueden ir juntos

How do you trust God when you don’t know the plan or when nothing makes sense?

In this episode of the Peaceful Presence Podcast, I sit down with Bruce Wolff, a pilot who shares from real-life experience what it looks like to move forward in faith without having the full picture. We talk about fear, uncertainty, and the moments in life where you don’t understand what God is doing, but still have to take the next step.

This conversation will help you:
• Understand why trusting God can feel so difficult
• Learn how to trust God when nothing makes sense
• See how fear and anxiety can keep you stuck and how to move forward anyway
• Take practical steps of faith, even when you don’t have a clear plan

Bruce shares powerful insights from his book, Finding Hope Navigating an Obscure Path: Learning to Trust God When You Can Barely Understand Him, where he walks through seasons of loss, uncertainty, and learning to trust God one step at a time.

He was taught to hide when the school bus came. Literally. In this jaw-dropping conversation, Calvin Bagley shares how growing up isolated on a rural Utah farm shaped a life marked by fear, shame, and control...and how he fought his way into freedom. We talk religious trauma, rebuilding faith after spiritual abuse, therapy, healing childhood wounds, and learning the difference between fear-based religion and real love. Calvin also shares the unlikely road from being “no schooled” to earning his GED, attending college, and building a life of purpose. His memoir Hiding From The School Bus is proof that your beginning does not define your ending.

Curious Questions – Episode 8 (Finale): Where Will You Be in Five Years?

What if nothing changed? Where would you be in five years? And what if you finally gave yourself permission to leap?

This is the finale of the Curious Questions series, and we’re ending with a powerful future-focused question:

“If this stayed the same… where would I be in five years?”

Sometimes we get so stuck in the present moment that we forget to zoom out. We wrestle with hard decisions, delay bold moves, or cling to security — but what would your life look like five years from now if nothing changed?

In this episode, Bethany B. Joy shares the moment a coach asked her that very question when she was deciding whether to step into full-time coaching. That question changed everything.

This episode will help you:

• Gain perspective on current struggles
• Make decisions with long-term clarity
• Move from hesitation to courageous action
• Give yourself permission to dream again

Take one area of your life — a decision, a habit, a calling — and ask:

If nothing changes, where will I be in five years?

Then ask:

If I made the leap today, what could be possible?

You don’t have to process these big decisions alone.

Have you ever felt like you should be doing more for God… being a better Christian… trying harder… only to end up exhausted?

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Mary Gallagher to explore the hidden burden of Christian perfectionism, the fear of disappointing God, and how religious pressure can masquerade as obedience.

Together, we unpack the difference between Holy Spirit conviction and shame-driven striving, why not every “should” is God’s voice, and how to discern the authentic voice of God from counterfeit religious pressure.

If you’ve struggled with people pleasing, spiritual burnout, perfectionism, religious performance, or feeling like God is disappointed in you, this episode will help you breathe again.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

•  What “should” reveals about perfectionism and hidden shame 
•  The difference between God’s standards and religious pressure 
•  How shame masquerades as obedience 
•  Fear of disappointing God and performance-driven faith 
•  How to discern God’s voice from condemnation 
•  Why Christian perfectionism often leads to burnout 
•  How identity in Christ breaks the cycle of striving 
•  Practical first steps for breaking free from “shoulds” 

00:00 Introduction: Is every “should” really God’s voice?
03:00 Mary’s story of religious pressure and “fit the mold” Christianity
11:00 When striving for “gold stars for Jesus” leads to burnout
15:00 The moment God spoke: “I can be no more angry with you…”
22:00 Untangling spiritual clutter and finding freedom in grace
28:00 God’s voice vs religious pressure: how to hear the difference

You asked God to forgive you. But forgiveness didn’t remove the consequences of what you did.

You can’t go back and change it. And your relationships didn’t stay the same.

So now you’re left trying to figure out how to move forward with God when your life doesn’t look the way you thought it would.

Inés Franklin shares what it looks like to rebuild after choices she couldn’t undo and what actually has to change when nothing around you resets.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to rebuild from there, this is the part most people don’t know how to do.

If this hits close to home, you can go deeper with Inés Franklin in her book Blended & Blessed, where she shows how the Beatitudes shape what rebuilding looks like with Jesus at the center.
