A Child Healed: The Story of the Vatican-Approved Miracle for Fulton Sheen

In this episode, Jess sits down with Bonnie Engstrom. 14 years ago, Bonnie's life was turned upside down when she gave birth to a stillborn baby named James.

After 61 minutes without a heartbeat, doctors were going to proclaim her baby dead, but through the intercession of Servant of God Fulton Sheen, James' heart began to beat. The miracle was unanimously approved by doctors, theologians, and cardinals and was recognized by Pope Francis in 2019.
