Imagine being pulled into the ocean by a powerful riptide, struggling against the waves, realizing there’s no way back to shore. That’s exactly what happened to Carlos Vivas, author of Help from Heaven, when he found himself stranded far from land, exhausted, and out of hope. In his final moments, he surrendered to the inevitable—until something incredible happened.
Just as he was about to give up, a dolphin appeared out of nowhere, guiding him back toward safety. But that was only the beginning. In the moments that followed, Carlos had a profound encounter with God—an experience so powerful that it changed his entire outlook on life.
In this episode, Carlos shares the miraculous details of his near-death experience, the divine messages he received, and how this moment reshaped his understanding of faith, purpose, and the unseen forces that guide us.
In this episode, we explore:
✅ The terrifying moment Carlos realized he wouldn’t survive
✅ How a single prayer opened the door to a divine encounter
✅ The unexpected role of a dolphin in his rescue—coincidence or something more?
✅ The powerful life lessons he received from God
✅ How this experience transformed his faith, purpose, and mission
This is a story of surrender, miracles, and divine intervention—one that will challenge the way you think about life and remind you that help is always closer than you think.
