30 Wheels in the Air - A Trucker's Story - TBH 415
Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God
“My seatbelt was still on. There were tree branches on the windshield. That’s when I realize that me and my giant truck and trailer were somehow upside down.” ---------- Four years after first sharing his story, Nick the truck driver returns with one of the most baffling moments of his life. A routine winter drive turns into something he still can't fully explain--loss of control, lost time, and a scene that defies logic when it's over. But what makes this story even more unsettling isn't just what happened on the road… it was his wife calling at that precise moment, asking, "Are you...

When Heaven Leaves a Message - TBH 414
Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God
"I gasped. There it was, taped to the wall. That wasn't there before." ---------- Today is Divine Mercy Sunday. Just days ago, Jennifer--a hospice worker--was praying The Divine Mercy Chaplet for a patient who had just passed away. At that very moment, a man arrived late to do some work at her house… his own father had died the night before. Two people. Two losses. Two hearts already turned toward heaven, even before the day had really begun. Jennifer brought him upstairs to her son's bedroom, where he was scheduled to paint. But when they walked in, they both stopped. Taped to the wall…...

RESURRECTION - One Day at a Time - TBH 413
Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God
"He is going to give you what you need in each moment. But he won't give you what you need tomorrow, today." ---------- Here we are on Easter Sunday with the conclusion of our episode with Julianne from Ireland. The song that bubbled up in my head this week that takes me to her story is called Promises, Promises. Spiritualized, it speaks to the choice of which promise we grabbed for in this life. Three years after sharing her battle with alcohol and Our Lady's call to "keep Jesus first," she returns with a new baby, a new home, and a new perspective. The struggle remains--but through St....

The song that bubbled up in my head this week that takes me to her story is called Promises, Promises. Spiritualized, it speaks to the choice of which promise we grabbed for in this life.

The Angel Who Asked for $0.37 - TBH 410
Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God
"He walked out the door, with me running right behind him. When I ran out the door, he was gone. Nowhere to be found. There's not a car, not a bicycle, not a motorcycle, not a person… Just a streetlight and mosquitoes." ---------- Three ordinary encounters. Three strangers, each appeared at exactly the right moment. And three stories that leave you wondering if heaven briefly stepped onto earth. Nick felt compelled to give money to a woman who seemed to be expecting him. John was confronted by a mysterious old man just after taking something he shouldn't have. And my friend Danny...

The "Little Flower" Still Sends Roses - TBH 409
Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God
"I had just asked Saint Thérèse for a sign. Suddenly, there was a single yellow rose in a vase. Sitting on the dining room table. Where had it come from? ---------- Episode 409 revisits a story that beautifully illustrates the friendship of the saints. Known as "The Little Flower," Saint Thérèse of Lisieux became famous for her "little way" -- the belief that holiness is found in small acts of love offered to God. She also promised that after her death she would send roses as signs that prayers had been heard. In this episode, Catherine shares two remarkable moments when roses...

Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God
Mary, a varsity college swimmer, shares her Near-Death Experience -- the moment she slipped beneath the pool water during a competition, saw the face of her grandmother, and heard the unmistakable voice of God behind her. ---------- We open with that powerful encounter. But the story doesn't end in the pool. Years later, after attending one of my talks at a local parish, and initially brushing off the podcast, Mary tuned back in -- and suddenly the message wasn't just interesting. It was personal. And Convicting. Sometimes God lets you drift for a season. And sometimes He brings you back...

No Oxygen. No Brain Damage. No Explanation. - TBH 407
Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God
Mark was dead. EMS had shocked him three times with no results. 10 Minutes had gone by. One of the men said let’s try one more time. ---------- Three years ago, on a road in Billings, Montana, Mark was driving with his wife Carol when his heart suddenly stopped. For ten minutes, there was no pulse. No oxygen. Carol shut off the car, called 911, and followed the dispatcher's instructions until EMS arrived. Three shocks. No response. They were ready to stop. As we enter Lent and hear, "Remember you are dust…, and to dust you will return" why is the dust sometimes put on pause? And what...

Night Dreams with Spiritual Warnings - TBH 406
Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God
"Everything went black, the devil had his hands on my shoulder, looked at my father, and said, you know the rules, I get to keep Josh.” ---------- Josh Jung returns to Touched by Heaven since first guesting back on Episode 205, four years ago. Back then, he shared how, as an atheist, he openly invited anything that might be "out there" to reveal itself. God, angels, demons, even aliens. It seemed to Josh that they were all responding. In this episode, Josh goes farther back to powerful dreams at ages eight and fifteen that carried both promise and warning. Now, Josh is learning to follow...

“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 it was, but because of hospital restrictions, she couldn’t visit, even to hold his hand, for 20 days.
While Kathy was fighting on earth, Steve was being carried by his angel into heaven’s throne room. He stood before Jesus and the Father. He saw war horses being trained for the end times, shared heavenly food, reunited with loved ones—including a son, Daniel, lost through miscarriage—and was taught truths he had never even wanted to read about. He returned with a new mission and a book titled, I’ve Been to Heaven.
This is a story that will touch both your mind and your heart.
