Conclave and Crossroads - TBH 364

Trapper Jack (Philip Keller)
About this episode

 "I wasn't even sure I believed in God. But when I saw the miracle of the sun with golden raindrops falling from it, and my friend Bill saw the exact same thing. I started to cry; I knew that God really did exist. And, that He loves me."

----------

Hi! Trapper Jack here. I get to put on the referee uniform again this week. These vertical stripes are so slimming! We have puzzle pieces to look at regarding the upcoming conclave in Rome to choose a new pope. Songs have been bubbling up in my head seemingly out of nowhere, but we know where that nowhere is. We have a very important player in the game who appears to be missing. And then there are those mysterious 46 stars and 46 popes from episode 346 involving the Our Lady of Guadalupe image. Plus, throw in Jesus Christ superstar and we have quite an episode here. Because there's even more…

In this week’s episode, I also talked with Michael, who once walked away from his faith. What brought him back? A lavender Virgin Mary. A vision within the sun. A long-buried sin.

It started with a spinning sun. Colors cascading. Golden raindrops dripping from the sky. On top of Apparition Hill in Medjugorje, Michael Campanelli and his friend Bill were witnessing something extraordinary. But that was only the beginning. What Michael saw just days later would break his heart open—and bring him to his knees.

What followed was a miraculous journey of grace, healing, and a life transformed. Today, Michael leads pilgrims through Padre Pio Pilgrimages guiding others to the holy places where heaven touches earth—just like it did for him.

----------

Come with us. There’s gold in these hills.
