"I heard his voice next to my ear. His arm was around my shoulder. I looked down, but I did not see shoes or his pant legs."

----------

Episode 400 brings Touched by Heaven back to where it all began. Before the themes expanded and the conversations deepened, it was angel stories that first drew many of you in.

In this milestone episode, I return to real moments where help arrived quietly and unexpectedly. No wings were seen. No explanations were given. At the time, the people involved didn't even call it an angel. They simply knew something intervened.

Through stories of guidance, protection, warning, peace, and rescue, I invite you to slow down and reconsider what you may have overlooked in your own life. Because if angels were present in these moments, perhaps they have been present in ours as well, long before we had language for it.

"I just saw this bright, golden, light. It encompassed me. And in the middle of that light was the most beautiful face."

----------

Fifty years ago today, with seconds left on the clock, a quarterback launched a desperate pass and later said, "I closed my eyes and said a Hail Mary." The phrase stuck -- a last-ditch effort when human ability runs out.

As I record this episode, I'm reading Project Hail Mary -- a story about humanity's final attempt to save the world. A last play. A long shot. A mission resting on grace.

But tucked inside this episode is something even more striking.

In Episode 246, Darron wasn't throwing a Hail Mary at all. And yet -- at the very last seconds of a supposed past-life regression -- the Blessed Mother arrived anyway. Uninvited. Unmistakable. Pointing him not to herself, but to her Son.

Because sometimes, when time is up…

You don't even have to throw the prayer.

She comes running.

9/11. He saw a jet coming right for his office. The wing went through his window. Fire was everywhere as he cried out, "Lord, take over!"

---------

This Christmas week episode is truly a gift. I'm joined by kindred spirit and author Mark Ellis, whose book When Kingdom Light Shines mirrors the heart of the Touched by Heaven podcast--60 powerful stories of divine intervention, angels, near-death experiences, and unmistakable encounters with God.

Mark shares several unforgettable stories, including a man who survived the impact zone in the second tower on 9/11, and an astronaut whose life was transformed when he encountered Jesus--while walking on the moon.

If you're looking for hope, wonder, or a last-minute Christmas gift, this episode (and Mark's book) delivers.

"For 16 months, my body and mind shut down due to spiritual warfare. My doctor said, "I don't believe in your God, I believe in my medicine."

----------

Peter Nathan and his wife Christine from Australia, both of deep faith, experienced one brief encounter on the street that changed everything.

In this extraordinary retelling of episode 243, a woman fixed Peter with what can only be described as a deliberate evil intention, and from that moment he entered a 16-month physical and mental shutdown.

Priests were called. Prayers were offered. Nothing worked. Peter's psychiatrist dismissed the idea of spiritual warfare--until one specific Bible verse was spoken. The oppression lifted, and even the doctor's certainty began to unravel. A rare, sobering, and fascinating account of spiritual reality breaking through.

"I was living on the reservation, with my father, drunk, my mother, drunk, and pointing a rifle at me and my siblings."

----------

In this moving episode, we meet Susy—a woman whose life has been marked by deep loss, relentless struggle, and extraordinary moments of grace. Raised amid instability on an Indian reservation and searching for belonging across multiple faith traditions, Susy carried trauma into adulthood. She would lose her husband to cancer and later her daughter, Dakota, whose life was overshadowed by spiritual torment and addiction.

Yet through every season, God kept breaking through. From miraculous interventions—including one that stopped her from ending her own life—to the unexpected moment she discovered "Touched by Heaven" on Coast to Coast A.M., Susy began to see that she had been pursued by a faithful God all along. This is a story of a soul relentlessly loved back home.

"I'm half in the bag," said the intoxicated Julia Roberts in the movie clip. And is this a message for the church?

----------

Why did Episode 394 disappear almost as fast as it was posted? Because I sounded strangely intoxicated—yet I hadn't had a drop. Only later did I realize the Holy Spirit was using that moment to steer me toward this far more important episode.

Here, I'm back in the impartial referee uniform, not rooting for a side, just holding up the puzzle pieces. And what they reveal about the Church today is unsettling. It all started when I watched four unrelated movies that turned out to share the same core scene: a woman devoted to the wrong man, getting drunk, and suddenly recognizing the right one.

That pattern wasn't random. It was biblical. enjoy the podcast!

"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 us.

I also share a providential two-minute encounter with Claire, a listener whose own life reveals the gentle fingerprints of God—from her father's passing to a house fire that showed His hand. Together, our stories point to the daily cross, and the strength Christ gives to carry it.

"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 God, He fills our jars — and our lives — to the brim.
