Heaven Meets Earth – Details, episodes & analysis

It is when tragedy strikes that we learn who we depend on. And when the dark night of the soul hit for Courtney Smallbone, wife of For King and Country’s Luke Smallbone, and Kerry Hasenbalg, spiritual director and author The Way of Becoming, it was Jesus they turned to. The God of resurrection and miraculous timing came through in stunning fashion.  Hosts Ryan Bethea and Abigail Robertson talk to Courtney and Kerry about leaning on Jesus for freedom from addiction, turning to God in their worst nightmares, and finding emotional healing and faith renewal in our Heavenly Father.  Courtney Smallbone first shared her powerful testimony on The 700 Club six years ago, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jsjs9jaTdFw, and in this episode we pick up where that left off and learn more about the challenging trial she faced while filming with CBN.

Obedience is better than sacrifice.” We hear that a lot in Scripture—but what happens when obedience to God puts your career, your reputation, or even someone else's safety on the line? In this episode of Heaven Meets Earth, we dive into the incredible true story of Jamie Winship, a former police officer who asked God to lead him in his work through real-time conversations with the Holy Spirit and Scripture. What followed was both deeply rewarding and wildly unexpected—success on the job, but also a State Department investigation and suspension from the force. Hosts Ryan Bethea and Abigail Robertson walk with Jamie through the highs and lows of what it really looks like to follow God's voice in the real world—and they also invite you into that journey. Because the same God who spoke to Jamie… is still speaking today. Tune in and be encouraged—you were made to hear Him too. ► Sign-up here to get notified whenever a new episode comes out: https://cbn.com/lp/heaven-meets-earth
