Stories of Divine Intervention: Escaping the Occult, Buying a House

A Footsteps to Heaven podcast episode
with Terry Modica

In this episode of the Footsteps to Heaven podcast, author Paul McDonald shares three remarkable true stories of God’s divine intervention. It happened when he was playing with the occult. It happened when his Catholic Faith got awakened. It happened again while searching for the right home.

Paul’s experiences will strengthen your trust in God for major decisions. His stories will help you recognize how God may be leading you right now.

Paul’s three stories:

He searched for a house for a year and a half, praying about each possibility and learning to recognize the difference between his own desires, other people’s opinions, and God’s guidance. One house seemed perfect to everyone else—but Paul felt something was not right. Another opportunity fell through. Then, after a long search, he found the house that gave him a deep sense of peace. This story is a powerful reminder that discerning God’s will is not always about finding immediate answers. Sometimes God teaches us through the search itself.

As a teenager, Paul went to Catholic Mass with his parents, but God seemed distant. Searching for something more, he became involved in the occult, exploring practices that included tarot cards, séances, and Edgar Cayce books. Find out how God intervened.

While in college, he got involved with Protestants who led him to make a commitment to Jesus. Find out how this powerful encounter with the Lord began a journey that eventually led him to make a deeper commitment to Christ within the Catholic Faith.
