In today’s episode of the Peaceful Presence Podcast, we explore why so many people stay stuck in pain, anxiety, addiction, and emotional battles and the surprising spiritual root that might be behind it.

My guest, Beatty Carmichael, says he’s seen 90% of the people he works with experience healing when they address what’s happening beneath the surface.

We talk about miracle stories, emotional wounds, identity, trauma, and the  prayer method he uses to help people find freedom and deliverance.

We talk about:
✨ The spiritual root behind much of our physical and emotional pain
✨ Why some people stay stuck and why others are instantly set free
✨ What happened when Beatty says God “took away” his gift of healing
✨ Miracle stories doctors can’t explain
✨ The difference between repentance, authority, and the role of the Holy Spirit
✨ Real deliverance stories and how they bring peace, not fear
✨ How YOU can begin to pray for your own heart, pain, and patterns

If you’ve ever wondered why certain pains won’t go away, why anxiety keeps coming back, or what might be happening beneath the surface spiritually … this conversation may open your eyes and strengthen your faith.

In this viral true story featured by CBS News and NBC, a San Diego Sheriff’s deputy was shot multiple times and seconds from death, when he says Jesus entered the room. What began as a routine operation turned into a deadly shootout that made national headlines, but what happened next defied logic and changed his life forever.

Ali Perez recalls the chaos, the sounds of darkness, and the moment when everything went still. He describes hearing what he believes were the sounds of hell and then watching as Jesus appeared and light overtook the room. What followed was a supernatural encounter that saved his life and transformed his faith.

This near-death miracle will leave you questioning what’s possible when heaven and hell collide and how God’s presence still conquers darkness today.

🔹 You’ll hear:
➡️  How a routine warrant in Lakeside, CA turned into a life-or-death ambush
➡️   The moment time stopped and Jesus entered the room
➡️   What Ali experienced in the seconds between life and death
➡️   The healing, forgiveness, and faith that followed the chaos

For a deeper look into this miraculous story, read “Bless Him” by Raelin Perez - Ali’s daughter - who interviewed others involved in the 2012 Lakeside shootout, from officers to first responders. The book gives a powerful, behind-the-scenes account of all that happened that day.

Addicted. Abandoned. Alone.
That’s how Elizabeth Verver describes the lowest point of her life... until the moment God showed up and changed everything.

Elizabeth opens up about her journey from rejection, trauma, and addiction to a life completely transformed by God’s love. As a young girl, she watched her father drive away and never look back. By fifteen, she didn’t want to live anymore. Years of pain and hopelessness followed… until she heard God’s voice say, “You don’t really want to die; you just don’t want to feel like this.”

What happened next is a story of complete transformation that proves no one is too far gone for God to reach.
If you’ve ever felt unseen, unloved, or beyond repair, this episode will remind you that you are not powerless and that God still restores what’s been lost.

You’ll hear:

➡️ How God met Elizabeth in her darkest hour and rewrote her story
➡️ What it means to truly forgive those who’ve hurt you
➡️ How to find peace and purpose after trauma and addiction
➡️ Why no one is ever too broken for God to heal

My mother appeared after she died and told me, “Jesus is real.”
Those words changed everything for Deborah Kline-Iantorno. Raised in a Jewish home and educated in Catholic school, Deborah grew up hearing stories of her family’s Holocaust history. These stories left her wondering, how could God be real? 

After losing her daughter and later her mother, Deborah reached a breaking point of pain and disbelief, until one moment changed everything. Her mother appeared from heaven with a message that would transform her faith and her life forever.

Music has always been part of Deborah’s story and a universal language God used to heal her heart and open doors for her to share His love around the world.

If you’ve ever wondered if God and Jesus are real, if Heaven truly exists, or if faith can be restored after loss, this story will touch your heart in a deeply personal way.

How do you begin to overcome your rock bottom moment?
In this episode of The Peaceful Presence Podcast, Paula Douglas of Paula Douglas Ministries shares how she found peace, strength, and joy by letting God show her how to reset.

Paula opens up about a season when life grew quiet, and the pillars she once leaned on were all suddenly gone. She had to realize that no one was coming to rescue her, and it was just her and God. In that stillness, God spoke to her heart and whispered one word that changed everything: Reset.

Through her story, you’ll discover that real strength doesn’t come from what you do and all the busyness, but rather from God within. Paula reminds us that forward is the only direction we can go, and when we move forward with God, we can do it with peace, real strength, and joy.
