Summary

"We didn't know about the Netflix documentary. We didn't know these two young men. We only knew that the Holy Spirit guided us here."
----------
Holly and Lauren stood quietly at the gravesites in a cemetery in Strongsville, Ohio, wondering why prayer had led them there. During a class assignment through Encounter School of Ministry, my two new friends had asked the Holy Spirit where they were supposed to go and pray. Neither woman knew the names on the stones or the tragic story connected to them.
Two men eventually approached and explained that these were the graves of two young men killed when a teenage girl drove her car into a building at nearly 100 miles an hour. The case later became the subject of The Crash, one of Netflix's most watched documentaries.
Holly and Lauren exchanged stunned looks. Why had they been guided here?

| 0:00.0 | And we kind of just walked around the cemetery for a while. |
| 0:10.0 | When I was drawn, I saw out of the corner of my eye this grave, |
| 0:16.0 | and we both just got hit with this really big wave of like there was a lot of trauma. So we just |
| 0:23.7 | started praying. The two men I had mentioned kind of approached us and said, do you know that |
| 0:29.6 | kid there? And we're like, no. They're like, oh, we're here because the documentary about that kid's death was just released. |
| 0:40.2 | The information about the murder of the kid that we were with. |
| 0:44.3 | And then Lauren and I look at each other and we're like, what is going on? |
| 0:49.5 | For Lauren and Holly, this is an answer to an assignment, a prayer assignment. They have been praying to the |
| 0:55.5 | Holy Spirit. They had no idea this is where it would lead. They have no idea they're headed for a |
| 1:01.0 | cemetery until they are at a cemetery. And then they're led to a particular area of the cemetery |
| 1:07.4 | and a particular burial plot. And what is all of this and what are we feeling |
| 1:13.2 | and who are those two guys who just came walking up? They have no idea they've just walked |
| 1:18.4 | into a huge story on Netflix right now, a documentary called The Crash. This episode isn't |
| 1:25.4 | so much about the crash, the crime, the woman in jail for 15 to life, |
| 1:30.0 | for driving into a brick building at about 100 miles an hour, killing two young men. |
| 1:35.8 | It's about why, what on earth happened in prayer that the Holy Spirit has guided these two women |
| 1:42.3 | to this cemetery, to this spot, and these two gentlemen. |
| 1:47.2 | That's what's coming up in today's Touched by Heaven episode. I'm your host, Trapper Jack. |
| 1:53.3 | And we have Holly, right? How are we doing, Holly? I'm great. How are you, Trapper? I'm doing great. |
| 1:59.0 | And we have Lauren, who's just handed off the baby to her husband. Yes. |
| 2:03.6 | Rochina's crying, but she's with her dad. His problem. Is that the deal? |
| 2:08.8 | That's what I just reminded. How did you guys meet? Encounter. This is my memory of connecting with Holly. I think we had met. Two of my sisters were pregnant at the same time at the beginning of encounter, and they had the same due date. And one of my sister's babies did not have a heartbeat. And it was destroying me. And so in our small group that day, I just kind of broke down and asked for prayers. |
