"My vision isn't all that great anymore, but I got in the pool, went underwater, and I could hear the voice saying, 'go a little left, go forward, a little more left,' I reached out and found it in six seconds. Even I couldn't believe it."

----------

Hi! Trapper Jack here. A local priest sometimes likes to comically reflect on how we seem to invite people to a lackluster God. 'Come to church. It's good for you, you know, like broccoli.' The Touched by Heaven podcast reminds us that we have nothing short of a dazzling and loving God who continually makes himself known in our lives.

Lisa and Larry, originally heard in episode 43, remind us that God is still sending us his angels. Sometimes, we can even hear them! We also hear prophetic words and see God's deep love for His children. From miraculous guidance to the beauty of a child's innocent faith, these stories remind us that heaven is constantly colliding with earth. Our God is not distant—He is present, speaking, and revealing His power in ways we cannot ignore. Enjoy the podcast!

I asked St. Thérèse to send me red roses if she approved of my boyfriend becoming my fiancé. At the grocery store, right next to the pop I was about to buy, was a dozen red roses that someone had obviously dumped.

----------

Hi! Trapper Jack here. We have some very cool stories of saintly intercession! This episode emphasizes that the Saints are not objects of worship, but heavenly friends who pray for us.

Elizabeth and I are still scratching our heads on how a particular ring found its way back into our kitchen and was discovered in a most impossible place. Leslie, a non-Catholic, decided to throw a prayer toward St. Anthony, in hopes of getting her dog back. She also let St. Anthony know that it was her first time, and that Trapper Jack said it was a good idea.

Meanwhile, Sarah was looking to St. Thérèse of Lisieux for her usual sign of roses, if the saint was on board with Sarah's choice for a husband. A dozen red roses were soon found in the grocery store where red roses should never be found.

Finally, Steve recounts his personal encounter with the future St. Padre Pio, who suddenly stopped after mass to give a special blessing to the young boy.

Enjoy the podcast… And the saints!

"He had threatened to kill us. He died an alcoholic. And there he was at church, looking so remorseful."

----------

Hi! Trapper Jack here. in this episode, Chris and Tom share a powerful story of remorse and forgiveness. Tom grew up in a difficult home, scarred by his father's alcoholism. There were even serious threats on the family's lives. Years later, at a baptism, he experienced a profound encounter that gave him long-awaited closure. Was his father there, seeking forgiveness?

And what about the strange occurrences in their home — why was the bedroom so cold? Why was the cat terrified? What was moving the bed?

Chris and Tom take us on a journey of faith, protection, and unseen battles. Whether heavenly or something far darker, the supernatural is closer than we think.

"My grandfather was the one who welcomed me into the afterlife. He said, 'Look over there.' I saw a great white light. He said, 'See how it shimmers? It's heaven. Rene, you're in heaven!'"

----------

Hi! Trapper Jack here. Renee lost her sight rapidly due to diabetes and faced the emotional and physical challenges of blindness head-on. What stands out is not just her inspiring Touched by Heaven moments but how she teaches us all to confront life's challenges with faith and determination.

Rene describes a near-death experience where she was welcomed into a heavenly realm by her grandfather. She met her six miscarried children and saw stunning landscapes filled with peace and harmony. This experience deeply strengthened her faith, giving her the courage to embrace her blindness as part of God's plan.

Determined to keep her independence, she immersed herself in blind training, mastering mobility, cooking, and even rock climbing. Now, she teaches others to overcome their fears. Rene's journey is a powerful reminder that faith and perseverance can lead us through any darkness.

"My three-year-old daughter walked toward the window and placed her hands on the screen. She then pushed out the screen and began her 40-foot fall."

----------

Hi! Trapper Jack here. Where do I start with Monica's story? What if a photo from heaven fell right before your eyes?

Monica shares her incredible story of how, after her father's passing, a long-lost picture of the two of them mysteriously floated down from nowhere—just when she needed a sign the most. But that's not the only miracle in her life. She also recounts the impossible survival of her daughter, who fell four stories from a window.

From divine reassurances to supernatural protection, Monica's journey is filled with moments that defy explanation. Plus, a conversation on how AI is reshaping the way we learn, write, and even deepen our faith.

Could God be working through technology as well? Listen to A Heavenly Message from Dad and My Daughter's Miracle on Touched by Heaven, where everyday encounters with God remind us that we are never alone.

Enjoy the episode!

"She didn't know it was coming. We got to the top of Cross Mountain, with her mom secretly about to take the photo of the proposal. I dropped to one knee to ask her to marry me." The next few things that happened are hard to explain to anyone who hasn't been to Medjugorje.

----------

A couple of weeks ago, we talked about how bad things can happen in the blink of an eye. But what about when miraculous things happen just as fast? Enter Nate Wine, a man who never expected his life to change in an instant.

Nate embarks on a trip to Medjugorje with his future wife, thinking only about the perfect mountain-top proposal. But God had other plans. What began as a simple gesture for social media clout turns into something much deeper—an encounter that rewires his entire faith.

What exactly happened on that mountain? And why do so many people experience life-altering moments in this sacred place? This is a story of surrender, transformation, and the undeniable presence of God at the collision of heaven and earth.

"My college roommate had a picture on her dresser of a guy with long brown hair and a beard. I asked, 'is that your boyfriend?' She looked at me like I was crazy. She said, 'his name is Jesus, and yes, he's my boyfriend.'"

----------

Hi! Trapper Jack here. In this episode, I sit down with Debbie Herbeck to hear her incredible story of transformation. Raised in a devout Jewish home on the South Side of Chicago, Debbie grew up surrounded by family, friends, and an entire community that was almost exclusively Jewish. She had little exposure to Christianity and virtually no understanding of who Jesus was.

That all changed when she went off to college at the University of Michigan. For the first time, she encountered Christians—not just in passing, but as roommates, classmates, and friends. One of them stood out—a vibrant, confident Catholic student who lived her faith boldly. That friendship, combined with an unexpected assignment on the Book of Romans, opened the door to questions Debbie had never considered.

But what truly shifted everything for her was not just intellectual curiosity—it was a series of personal encounters with Jesus himself. First, in a vivid dream. Then, in a powerful, tangible experience that left no doubt in her mind that God was real, active, and calling her into something greater.

Enjoy the podcast!

"I was thrown a couple of hundred yards away from the vehicle. When I woke up, I heard a voice saying, 'It's okay. they're looking for you.'"

----------

Hi, Trapper Jack here. It's one thing to hear from the book of Romans, 'God works for the good of those who love Him.' It's quite another to hear someone living it.

In the blink of an eye, Susie's life was changed forever. So was her marriage and family life. But Susie and Eric highlight what can happen when we invite God into the darkest of situations.

At the end of our conversation, I asked for the most recent example of joy in their lives. I don't want to give away what Susie said, but it is the perfect ending to a story with lots of bumps and turns. This conversation left me deeply inspired by how God can transform even the darkest moments into something good and meaningful, often 'in the blink of an eye.' Enjoy the podcast!

"I heard my son scream. The dart had ricocheted and hit Kyle directly in the eye. I began to negotiate with God."

----------

Hi there! Trapper Jack here. John and Shanita had their plans in place. Fame and fortune, along with a few kids, would be the goal for a successful life. But everything changed, literally in the blink of an eye. The eye belongs to their six-year-old son Kyle. A freak accident threatened to take away the vision of their boy. Shanita began negotiating with God. Does that work?

Shenita's journey is a powerful testament to turning away from worldly pursuits and embracing faith and family. Enjoy the podcast.

I was listening to Fr. Mike Schmitz talking about the five second rule in regard to food on the floor. But, at the same time I was reading a book about a different five second rule that can literally change your life, in five seconds.

----------

Hi there! Trapper Jack here. You are familiar with the five second rule, right? It's when you drop a piece of food on the floor and proclaim, 'five second rule,' and it now becomes OK to eat. But there is another five second rule.

While talking to Jenny, a God incident occurred, and a reference to a book called the Five Second Rule. Jenny heard something that she needed to hear to change her prayer life and deepen her relationship with God. It's one of those Touched by Heaven moments that's within the Touched by Heaven Podcast.

It's always so cool when it happens. And it happens more than once in this episode. Amid all of this is Jenny's story. We see the hand of God in finding her husband. We see the hand of God in Jenny's dreams. We once again see how our angels protect us and help guide us. I love this conversation Because everything we want and pray for is right there at our fingertips … In about five seconds. Enjoy the podcast.
