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. Thérèse and daily surrender, she's learning that God gives exactly what we need… for today. ---------- 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 saw myself from above, as God would see me. Through His eyes. He looked at me with such love, and I became aware of all the little ways that He is talking to me." ---------- Julianne from Ireland is back.

"I wondered if I would die early as my father had, and I suddenly heard a voice, 'You will not die before you are married with children.' I was shocked. and then the voice said it again. Who was that?" ---------- Wanja, whose journey stretches from Kenya to British Columbia is guided by moments that feel anything but ordinary. She shares what it's like to hear a voice she believes is God's, offering answers, direction, and peace. Formed by a mother's deep faith after losing her father as a toddler, Wanja's life includes visions, dreams, and songs placed on her heart to help others. After a season of falling away, a house fire, the very night she conceived her son, became a turning point. What followed reveals not punishment--but God's relentless mercy, love, and call back home. ---------- 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.

"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 found himself drafting behind two cyclists who rode straight into a brutal headwind as if the wind didn't exist. Each encounter ended the same way: the stranger vanished. Coincidence? Divine nudge? Or something more? Scripture warns us that we may entertain angels without knowing it. In this episode, the question becomes unavoidable. ---------- 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 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 appeared at just the right time, confirming that her prayers had reached heaven. It's also a reminder that the saints are not distant figures of the past. They are friends, inspirations, and powerful intercessors walking with us today. ---------- 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.
