Summary
"He had threatened to kill us. He died an alcoholic. And there he was at church, looking so remorseful."
----------
Hi! Trapper Jack here. in this episode, Chris and Tom share a powerful story of remorse and forgiveness. Tom grew up in a difficult home, scarred by his father’s alcoholism. There were even serious threats on the family's lives. Years later, at a baptism, he experienced a profound encounter that gave him long-awaited closure. Was his father there, seeking forgiveness?
And what about the strange occurrences in their home — why was the bedroom so cold? Why was the cat terrified? What was moving the bed?
Chris and Tom take us on a journey of faith, protection, and unseen battles. Whether heavenly or something far darker, the supernatural is closer than we think.
