170. Finding Faith and Healing After Tragedy: Zach Rippey's Journey

At just 12 years old, Mary Therese Hutchinson survived an unimaginable night of abuse and multiple attempts on her life by someone she trusted — her own uncle. But what happened decades later would become an extraordinary testimony of faith, forgiveness, and God's transforming grace. In this powerful episode of Everyday Miracles Podcast, host Julie Hedenborg sits down with Mary to hear her incredible story of survival, childhood trauma, healing, and redemption. For years, Mary carried the pain, shame, anger, and unanswered questions from her childhood. She struggled to understand where God had been during the darkest moments of her life. Everything began to change when she surrendered her life to Jesus Christ. Through faith, prayer, and a journey of forgiveness, Mary experienced a transformation she never thought possible. Her story eventually came full circle in a way she could never have imagined. **CONNECT WITH MARY THERESE HUTCHINSON** Website: https://marytheresehutchinson.com/ Amazon: https://a.co/d/0cU3XDhb 00:00 – A Powerful Story of Survival 01:36 – Meet Mary Therese Hutchinson 02:01 – Mary's Childhood and Family History 03:28 – The Night Everything Changed 07:00 – Fighting for Her Life 15:00 – Finally Reaching Safety 18:00 – Living with the Trauma 23:00 – Searching for God and Answers 27:00 – A Life-Changing Christmas 30:00 – Discovering Faith and Healing 34:00 – Learning to Forgive 38:00 – Seeking Justice Years Later 42:00 – Sharing Her Story on The 700 Club 45:00 – An Unexpected Turning Point 47:00 – Forgiving the Unthinkable 51:00 – One Final Act of Compassion 54:00 – Finding Freedom Through Forgiveness 59:00 – Mary's Message to Those Who Have Lost Hope 1:03:00 – Faith, Relationships, and a New Life 1:08:00 – Mary's Book and the Power of Her Testimony 1:10:00 – Final Reflections and Prayer

How do you forgive someone who hurt you deeply — especially when what happened changed your life forever?

Former paranormal investigator Johnny Haney spent years searching for answers in the supernatural. After losing his mother, grief drove him to build what he called a portal in hopes of communicating with her. Then voices began answering. They seemed to know details about his life. One different voice confronted him about his past, and eventually pointed him toward Scripture and, Johnny says, Jesus Christ. One night, his search took a terrifying turn. Johnny says he woke up conscious in complete darkness as a childlike voice screamed at him from every direction. He called on God, then Jesus - and says the paranormal activity that had followed him for years stopped completely. In this episode of Everyday Miracles Podcast, Johnny shares his journey through paranormal investigation, spirit communication, grief, supernatural encounters, spiritual deception, faith, redemption, and Jesus. His testimony raises a bigger question for all of us: when we are desperate for answers, healing, comfort, wisdom, or a word from God, where do we turn? Watch Johnny's full story and hear what happened after he opened the portal, what the voices told him, why he began questioning what he was communicating with, and how his search for answers ultimately changed his life.

Have you ever wondered if God really hears your prayers—especially the ones that seem to go unanswered? In this special episode of Everyday Miracles, we explore the mystery and power of prayer through remarkable testimonies, biblical truth, and powerful reminders of what may be happening even when we cannot see it. You will hear some of my favorite clips about prayer from over 7 years of testimonies. I trust you will be inspired. From prayers answered in unexpected ways to prayers carried through seasons of waiting, grief, and uncertainty, these stories point us back to one beautiful truth: God hears you. If you've ever felt discouraged in prayer, wondered whether your prayers matter, or struggled when God's answer looked different than you hoped, this episode is for you. Be encouraged to keep praying, keep trusting, and remember—you may not always see what God is doing, but your prayers are never insignificant. "Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard..." Daniel 10:12 Psalm 34:17 "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles." The purpose of Everyday Miracles Podcast is to share the love of Jesus.
