A Stone, A Cross, A Listener Named Claire - TBH 393
Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God
“We had a massive fire. We lost everything, with the exception of one thing. In the living room, within the ashes, one thing survived, our Bible." ---------- At the base of Cross Mountain in Medjugorje, our guide had us bend down and pick up a small stone. She said to place all our worries, fears, and crosses on this tiny rock. Then, she told us to carry it in our pocket to the top and to leave it at the foot of the cross, surrendering it all to Christ. In this episode, I bring you along for the ascent, with audio from my fellow pilgrims Ben and Paul and the 20-plus souls who climbed with...

Miracles Happen When We Give God Our Problem, Not Our Solution - TBH 392
Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God
"Everyone was flipping out. I was there. I witnessed this. Everyone was screaming and yelling at my mother's impossible prayer being answered." ---------- What happens when we stop telling God How to Fix It and simply hand Him the problem? This week’s Touched by Heaven takes us from a broken white cane on a Medjugorje pilgrimage, to a Cuban girl’s miracle education, and even to a can of tomato paste that shouldn’t exist. In each story, heaven responds to the same simple, powerful prayer that Mary modeled at Cana: “They have no wine.” When we stop micromanaging miracles and let God be...

From Death to Life. Christian Lindsay's Lazarus Moment. - TBH 391
Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God
"The Harley Davidson rider had hit a dog and was thrown from his bike. My dad did CPR on the guy for more than ten minutes. There was still no pulse, no breathing. That's when I remembered the story of Lazarus." ---------- In this episode, I sit down with 18-year-old Christian Lindsay, who didn’t turn toward God until just two years ago. Christian shares an unforgettable story from a cross-country trip with his family, when they witnessed a horrific accident — a man on a Harley Davidson struck a dog and was thrown from his bike. His father, who had never done CPR before, began desperately...

They Thought People were Faking Miracles - Then God Healed Sandra's Brain Cancer in Medjugorje - TBH 390
Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God
"I'm a miracle healing. I am a living testimony of Medjugorje. I was healed there." ---------- Elizabeth and I just returned from two and a half weeks of incredible pilgrimages — first with some of our Touched by Heaven listeners in Medjugorje, and then with our parish in Italy. I literally just walked in the door, and what better time to revisit one of our most powerful miracle stories? In this episode, we go back to Episode 149 and the unforgettable story of Sandra and her miraculous healing of pituitary cancer in Medjugorje. When Sandra and her sister first visited, they wondered if...

Chased Down by Miracles - The Tim Francis Story TBH 389
Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God
"I had three questions. Is it real? If it is real, is it from God? If it is from God, what does it mean?” ---------- Arguments about faith can sound a lot like the Genesis song “That’s All” — “Well, I could say day, you’d say night. Tell me it’s black when I know that it’s white.” We debate Eucharist, Church authority, and who’s “right,” but God’s desire is simple: a relationship. This week, Tim Francis shares how God broke through his skepticism. Raised Catholic but long fallen away, Tim joined a Texas megachurch until his persistent mom sent him miracle...

"I've Been to Heaven" - Steve Boyls' Astonishing Near-Death Journey - TBH 388`
Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God
“We were walking across a field in heaven, when a little boy walked up to me, said, ‘Hi, my name is Daniel. I think that you’re my dad.’ He told me that he had been here for a long, long time. I've grown up here with a bunch of others, since we were little babies. Indeed, many years before, my wife had a miscarriage of a baby that we were going to call Daniel.” ---------- In 2021, COVID nearly took Steve Boyls’ life. His odds of survival were slim—15 to 20 percent—and he slipped into a coma for 21 days, on a ventilator for 45. His wife, Kathy, a doctor, knew exactly how bad...

God's Hand Over Jamie: Three Miraculous Escapes - TBH 387
Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God
"The wind changed direction, and I was caught in this massive fire. I screamed out to God to save me. My face was on fire, and somehow I was suddenly lifted, and floating." ---------- Jamie’s life has been miraculously spared more than once. At just fifteen he was caught in a raging fire — but instead of dying, he was mysteriously floated to safety, though badly burned. Years later, in a violent South American prison, a man stood before Jamie ready to kill him. Once again, God intervened. And during what became Hurricane Earl, off the coast of Cozumel, Jamie and six others found...

Heaven, Pets, and a Father's Message from the Afterlife - TBH 386
Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God
"I took his cell phone into the bathroom, locked the door, and said to God, ‘If you want me away from this guy, you're going to have to help me break the password code and see what's in here.’ I hit a bunch of keys, and I was in!" ---------- Samantha came to God with raw and painful questions. Through tears she asked if her dog was in heaven. She pleaded to know where her father was in the afterlife. In desperation, she even begged for help breaking into her boyfriend’s phone to confirm what she feared—that he was cheating. And yet, God answered. In ways she could not forget, He...

Addiction, Blindness, and the Prayer that Saved Josh - TBH 385
Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God
“In my battle with alcohol, I felt like there was something with barbed hooks attached to my chest. I cried out to God, "please don't let me die." ---------- Josh just wanted to make music. As a kid, the dream was to be in a band. But then life collapsed — his parents split, alcohol took over, and older women pulled him further off course. Along with the drinking came something darker — a clutching at his chest that felt like barbed hooks haunted him for decades. He believed if it ever let go, he would die. Then came the shock I can relate to, blindness in his mid-20s. Like me, Josh...

A Glimpse Beyond the Last Breath - TBH 384
Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God
“My mom hadn’t spoken in four years. But when my dad passed away, she let go of his hand, her head shot upward, she began pointing straight up—and then the play-by-play began.” ---------- Sometimes heaven breaks through in the most unexpected ways. Heather’s parents had faced years of suffering—cancer, strokes, and decline. Her mom, weighed down by Alzheimer’s, had not spoken in four years. Yet, at the very moment Heather's father passed away, everything changed. Mom suddenly lifted her head, pointed upward, and began to speak—doing the impossible. What she revealed left...

"I was dead inside. I thought, I will never be myself again. I'll never laugh again. I was so devastated, not only by the loss, but that my son was in hell."
----------
Two years ago, Maureen’s world shattered with the sudden loss of her 22-year-old son, Matt—likely to suicide. In the depths of grief, just four days later, she knelt at a communion rail during a Latin Mass. Maureen experienced something so profound, so instantaneous, that it defied logic. How could the grief just suddenly vanish? What power could a single simple communion host possibly have? And then—God gave her a supernatural message. A clear, unmistakable sign about Matt’s soul. It was the answer to a desperate mother’s prayer.
