What if some of the help we receive in life isn’t just from heaven… but from loved ones who are still watching over us?

Dr. Josh Redd has spent his life helping people heal — as the founder of one of the largest functional medicine and autoimmune clinics in the United States, a bestselling author, and a father of five.

But long before his professional success, Josh had to navigate his own spiritual struggles.

Raised in a deeply faith-centered home with a father who taught seminary, Josh grew up surrounded by gospel teaching. Yet his path wasn’t perfectly smooth. When he returned home early from his mission, he had to face the stigma many young people experience and wrestle with building a testimony in his own way.

Instead of walking away, he chose to dig deeper.

He learned that faith isn’t about being perfect — it’s about improving daily, even if we fall again and again.

As a seminary teacher himself, Josh later spent years teaching in a women’s prison, where he met an inmate known as “Grandma Nance.” At first, she came to class determined to prove him wrong. But over time, her heart softened, and her testimony slowly began to grow.

One of the most profound moments in Josh’s life came through an unexpected spiritual experience.

One night, a former friend's wife named Misty appeared to him in what felt like more than a dream, urgently telling him that her husband Mike was in trouble. Determined to find him, Josh searched until he finally tracked Mike down — only to discover that Misty had passed away weeks earlier.

That moment strengthened Josh’s belief that our loved ones who have passed on are still aware of us and still care deeply about our lives.

He has come to believe that angels often speak to us through the Spirit — sometimes in ways we don’t immediately understand.

Josh’s message is simple but powerful:

God communicates with each of us individually.
Our loved ones are closer than we think.
And life becomes exponentially better when we choose to recognize the hand of God in our lives.

Even in the darkest moments, He is there — waiting for us to look.

If you’ve ever wondered whether heaven is closer than we realize, this conversation will give you a lot to think about.
