In this episode, Conor Gallagher is joined by Michael O’Neill, known as The Miracle Hunter, for a captivating conversation about the mysterious world of miracles. Michael shares how he first became fascinated with miracles and why he believes they have a unique power to stir hearts and open the door to faith. Together, they explore the Church’s rigorous process for investigating miracles, the difference between big “M” and small “m” miracles, and why God often leaves just enough mystery to invite us deeper into faith. They also discuss miracles in other religions, fraudulent claims, and the Vatican’s recent changes to how supernatural claims — especially Marian apparitions — are handled. This episode is a fascinating look at how miracles aren’t just about the supernatural — they’re about God’s invitation to see His hand at work in every corner of our lives.
