Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God

When Jonathan Roumie, Jesus, lifted his hand to raise Lazarus from the tomb, suddenly there was this beautiful gust of wind, forming a whirlwind of dust and leaves flowing up into the sky. No special effects needed. ---------- Something a little different for Touched By Heaven! Noah James, the Jewish actor who portrays Andrew in The Chosen, joins us for a special conversation about the worldwide phenomenon whose success feels like a miracle itself. With filming completely wrapped, Noah shares stories from behind the scenes, including a heavenly touch during filming. Season six premieres November 15 on Prime Video. That weekend, Noah joins three fellow cast members for Northeast Ohio appearances presented by Kirtland Heritage Group. ---------- Find the details for the November 13 thru 15th events at https://neochosen.com.

I'm yelling at God. I am so mad at Him. I'm bleeding out and he's not showing up. ---------- Alone in a remote area of Montana, Chad Stock was bleeding to death after a table saw tore into his arm. His phone and keys were sixteen feet above him on scaffolding. His iPad was dead. Every attempt to find help brought another obstacle. Chad cried out to God, but as the hours passed, desperation turned to anger. Where was God? Why wasn't He answering? This week on Touched By Heaven: a story for anyone who has prayed, waited, and wondered whether God was listening--or would ever show up at all.

Peace, an unexplainable peace. ---------- Elizabeth and I share our week in Medjugorje--the friendships, heavenly encounters, and a puzzling dream that came home with me. Plus, Father Joe's homily connects our pilgrimage with our own St. Bernadette Parish, Lourdes, and the message of a Mother still calling us to her Son. ---------- Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.

"I was walking up this mountain with others. There was a light at the top. No way. My plan was to come back down." ---------- Moses climbed a mountain to meet God. Isaiah pictured people climbing up to Him. During his near-death experience, Jose found himself climbing a mountain toward a light he knew was God's presence. Moments earlier, he had been in an ambulance. Now, outside his body, he feared reaching the summit meant never returning. Shown the sins of his life, he wanted to go back and make things right. But everything changed when the Father held him in his arms. ---------- Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.

"Bless me Father, for I am drunk." ---------- Larisa walked into the confessional, drunk. This would be the culmination of a life in which childhood abuse left her feeling unloved, and drinking became a way to escape the pain. Along the way, she experienced terrifying encounters with evil—and heard the voice of Jesus inviting her toward something better. ---------- Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.

"I am with you, always. It was a male voice. I immediately thought, Wait, I have more questions." ---------- What if God spoke on every radio and television station in the world? That's the premise of the 1950 movie The Next Voice You Hear, starring James Whitmore and Nancy Davis, the future Nancy Reagan. His messages confront disbelief and promise miracles. While watching the movie recently, I thought of our listener, Alice. 30+ years ago, she had a particularly interesting moment with the voice. What really happens when the next voice you hear, is His? ---------- Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.

Joe is 50, looks 35, and prays like he is eight! ---------- Joe had reached the top of the horse world. Then his marriage, business, and home fell apart. On a dark day in Ireland, with little hope left, he stepped outside and prayed: "Lord Jesus, if you're there, I need your help." What Joe says he saw in the sky sent him searching for a personal relationship with Jesus. That search led him to Medjugorje--and into conversations and prayers that would change other lives, too. Joe's stories are bold, sometimes startling, and full of the childlike trust he has learned to bring to God, one simple prayer at a time. ---------- Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.

 "As a nine-year-old in the ER, I was observing everything from above, the absolute panic, and hysteria. But I was at peace and felt the sensation of being cradled."  ---------- Jeff and I have more in common than blindness. Born without sight, Jeff was still an infant when his parents and church elders gathered around him in prayer--and something changed. Years later, overwhelmed by stress and trauma, nine-year-old Jeff died, watched doctors work on his body, and encountered a peace he has never forgotten. But restored sight and a return from death were not his greatest miracles. Jeff shares how God freed him from memories, resentment, and unforgiveness, then orchestrated an impossible meeting at the scene of his daughter's accident. Through every time in the wilderness, Jeff says, God has never been absent. ---------- Link to music mentioned during interview:  https://youtu.be/1E7IG7yvdjw?si=5U5UDuvNsULvaAlD  ---------- Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.

How many times must I forgive? Seven times? 77 times? In Jim's case, it was not once, in 20 years. -------- For 20 years, Jim remained angry with a woman who had fought his decision to fire her and taken him to court. Then, while praying before Mass, God brought her unexpectedly--and unmistakably--back into his mind. Forgive her. Jim had been thinking about forgiving someone else, but apparently God wanted to begin here. So, Jim made a bargain with God, attaching his forgiveness to one highly unlikely condition involving the sign of peace. It was the kind of condition that could never actually be met--or so Jim thought. What happened next taught him just how serious God is about forgiveness. ---------- Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.

"By the grace of God, I would have been standing right there where they died, in the World Trade Center." ---------- Sixteen current and retired firefighters are riding 3,600 miles from the San Francisco Bay Area to Brooklyn to commemorate the 25th anniversary of September 11. Among them is Danny Sheridan, who first appeared in Episode 110 to share the many ways angels protected him throughout his firefighting career. After welcoming the riders to the Medina, Ohio, firehouse, we spoke with Danny, David, and Phil about why they ride, the 343 firefighters who died as the World Trade Center towers collapsed, and the brotherhood of those called to save lives. ---------- Last Chance to Register - Join Us October 2026 for a Pilgrimage to Medjugorje We invite you to embark with us this October 10th to 18th on a pilgrimage to Medjugorje--one of the most grace-filled and spiritually uplifting places we've ever encountered.
