"It was terrifying. The effect was paralysis. I was fully conscious, in pain, but unable to move, speak, or see. I could not even open my eyelids. The only one I could truly communicate with was God."

----------

What if the only thing you could do was feel pain—and hear? That became Robert Koonce’s reality after an autoimmune attack left him completely paralyzed. He couldn’t move, speak, blink, or even clear his throat. All he could do was endure—and pray.

In this episode, Robert, a man of deep faith, working within the Diocese of Cleveland, recounts his yearlong journey through suffering, silence, and supernatural encounters. Unable to interact with the world, his only true conversation was with God—and that dialogue went deeper than ever before. From spiritual consolation to demonic deception, Robert’s story reminds us that even when the body is bound, the soul is free to rise.

"I was dead inside. I thought, I will never be myself again. I'll never laugh again. I was so devastated, not only by the loss, but that my son was in hell."

----------

Two years ago, Maureen’s world shattered with the sudden loss of her 22-year-old son, Matt—likely to suicide. In the depths of grief, just four days later, she knelt at a communion rail during a Latin Mass. Maureen experienced something so profound, so instantaneous, that it defied logic. How could the grief just suddenly vanish? What power could a single simple communion host possibly have? And then—God gave her a supernatural message. A clear, unmistakable sign about Matt’s soul. It was the answer to a desperate mother’s prayer.

"At the funeral, when I invoked the name Jesus, out of nowhere, came this huge wind, I thought the tent was about to blow over. And people were using their cell phones to video something behind me."

----------

When Leah agreed to preside at the funeral of her long-time friend’s mother, she made it clear—she would be invoking the name of Jesus. Her friend, long angry at God and resistant to faith, agreed… reluctantly.

What unfolded next was anything but ordinary. Penny, the woman who had passed, had always surrounded herself with images of dragonflies. At the funeral, safe to say that this large insect gave a loud spiritual hello to those in attendance. And when Leah spoke the name “Jesus” for the first time, a sudden, forceful wind nearly blew down the tent. Was this nature, or something supernatural?

This episode explores how God meets us where we are, how signs can be unmistakable, and how He uses even funerals to soften hardened hearts and open spiritual eyes.

I'm not crazy. I know that the Holy Spirit put this remedy in front of me. My doctor said congratulations, but he could not talk about it and that I am not the only one.

----------

Hi! Trapper Jack here. On this Pentecost Sunday, we’re reminded that the Holy Spirit is anything but subtle. Kimberlie—Berlie to her friends—was given only months to live. Cancer had taken over. But God had another plan. In a world that often seems too comfortable with the idea that cancer is untouchable and expensive, something miraculous began to unfold. Berlie heard a voice, telling her she would be healed. A return to Catholic Mass after years away brought her face to face with Jesus, led by Our Lady. More divine breadcrumbs followed—signs, songs bubbling up from nowhere, and supernatural confirmations.

And then there was the “treatment.” Like other medications originally intended for something entirely different (Botox, Rogaine, Ozempic, etc.), this medication wasn’t even made for human use!

Is God showing us something extraordinary in stories like Berlie’s? On this birthday of the Church, maybe the Holy Spirit is shouting.

"I suddenly knew that I had invited something bad into my home. It knocked and I would splash holy water at it. It would move and knock again. I said, I am a child of God, and you have got to go! "

---------

In this episode of Touched by Heaven, I talk with Ashley, who grew up Catholic but found it all a bit… boring.

In her search for something deeper, she stumbled into the New Age. Ashley bought and read all that she could about—crystals, tarot, mediums. What followed was a spiritual darkness—things moving and knocking in the night, a daughter tormented by unseen forces, and chaos in her home.

Everyone said she just needed a good cleansing… but something told her otherwise. It was time to go back. With a rosary in hand, a little help finding a miraculous medal from St. Anthony, and one powerful confession, everything changed. But how? Let Ashley tell you.

"God put on my heart to go for a walk every day for 100 days. And, to journal what happened along the way. I had no idea what it would lead to!"

----------

Hi, Trapper Jack here. Ever get that weird nudge from God that makes zero sense? Like, “Hey, go do this totally random thing”—with no instructions, no context, and definitely no heavenly user manual? Yeah, Cindy got one of those.

God told her to walk. Every day. For 100 days. Talk to strangers. Be encouraging. Journal about it. That’s it. Write. Rinse. Repeat.

Then came the next divine plot twist—write for 15 minutes a day. Cindy was to look at her journal and add that which the Holy Spirit delivered. She was faithful and disciplined. And suddenly, it became a book called, “GUT, God Uttering Truths.”

Turns out, those so-called random sidewalk chats. Not so random. God had a plan.

Obedience is more important than understanding. This episode is your reminder that obedience often makes more sense looking back than it does in the moment. God says, “Trust Me,” and Cindy did. One step at a time.

The soundtrack that plays in Trapper’s head has been uncomfortable. God seems to be revealing His opinion on a topic Trapper would rather not discuss.

----------

Hi! Trapper Jack here. I've heard a bazillion opinions out there on the papacy of Pope Francis, and what is about to come with Pope Leo. In this episode, we might have the opinion of the only One that matters.

It's time to finally crawl out of the belly of the whale—seaweed hairdo and all. Like Jonah, I tried to outrun a message God wanted delivered. I figured if I stayed vague enough, maybe no one would throw me overboard. Spoiler: they did. From lightning strikes and Pachamama to a certain musical that wouldn’t leave my head, is it possible that God wants to give you His thoughts on what has ended, and what has begun? The signs are everywhere. Sometimes, the prophet needs a push… or a whale.

Andrew, an atheist, cried out to God, "Help me if you are real. If you are really there, please show me." God answered.

----------

Hi! Trapper Jack here. What if the voice that led you to God… wasn’t even sure God existed?

Today’s guest, Andrew, thought he was an atheist — just like his dad. Then one day, while listening to a Joe Rogan episode, he hears Canadian psychologist, Jordan Peterson. A man not preaching. Not quoting Scripture. Just speaking the truth. A truth so raw, so honest, and so needed — about suffering, about Christ, about living as if God is real — that something inside Andrew cracks open.

Peterson isn’t a pastor. He doesn’t claim to be a believer. But he points to Christ as the highest ideal. He says He’s the one to model your life after. And that kind of message — coming from someone outside the Church — somehow hit Andrew right in the soul. Because for the first time, he didn’t feel preached at… he felt invited.

So, there’s Andrew, driving down the road, praying. Not because he believes in God… but because he wants to. “God, if You’re real — show me.” That moment became the turning point of his life.

This episode is about the unexpected bridges God uses. And sometimes, He builds them with voices that don’t even know they’re echoing heaven.
