Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God

"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.

"I looked to my right, and I saw a red pickup truck. He is so close to my car that he's in my car. I'm looking and thinking, Wait, I should be feeling something and hearing metal."
----------
Three women discover that when God wants to get you somewhere--or get someone to you--He apparently is not opposed to directing traffic.
Heidi had barely processed her own impossible "car driving through a car" encounter when she heard the same thing described on this podcast. Apparently, this really is a thing.
Carrie's moment behind the wheel was different but equally mysterious: a blinding storm, a narrow two-lane road, no shoulder and nowhere to stop. "Jesus, I can't see!" she cried. Then a concrete driveway appeared exactly where she needed it--although she has never been able to find it again.
From there, Carrie's road leads unexpectedly into a love story, which brings us to Nancy, a powerhouse weightlifter who could handle some very heavy things herself. Finding the man of her dreams, however, required a little assistance from angels.

"While sitting on the school bus, I looked out the window and saw a tall lanky boy and suddenly heard a voice in my right ear, 'That's the one!' I turned toward the voice, and no one was there."
----------
Elijah was trying to hear God in the wind, fire, and earthquake. Which to us, sounds like today's episode…
Did another car just pass through a person? Where did that perfectly placed $20 bill come from when Kimberly had no money for gas? And what about the 13-year-old girl who heard three words about a boy… words she wouldn't understand until years later?
Then there's Janelle, the surfer God seemingly moved heaven and earth to send across an ocean, only to give her no waves. Maybe the question isn't whether God is speaking. Maybe it's whether we recognize what He sounds like.

"I was at the bookstore and out of the corner of my eye I saw a book inching its way to the edge of the shelf, teetering, then falling to my feet, face up. And there she was."
----------
Dr. Cyndi Peterson had everything she thought should make her happy, yet something was missing. Then, a mysterious dream, a book about Medjugorje falling at her feet, and extraordinary encounters with God, transformed her faith.
But then came unimaginable losses. And a feeling that God had turned against her. Angry and feeling betrayed, Cyndi finally confronted God: "I really can't trust You."

"I had missed a message somewhere. I had not been paying attention to God's call. So, when my daughter received her eyesight, it really smacked me in the face."
----------
For the third week in a row, Lourdes unexpectedly returns.
First through Greg's remarkable near-death experience, then through Kevin Matthews' story of a broken statue of Our Lady of Lourdes, and now through an unexpected nudge that led me back to one of our own podcast episodes from nearly three years ago.
But this isn't simply a story about miraculous water. It's about learning to notice God. Sometimes the greatest miracle isn't physical healing but the moment our eyes are finally opened to His presence. Zoe's healing becomes her mother's conversion.
