People seek comfort and guidance as they navigate life’s uncertainties. For many, the Scriptures provide a refuge—a source of wisdom and solace that speaks directly to their experiences. The words found in sacred texts can offer peace in turbulent times and remind one of divine presence. They can anchor one’s faith and provide reassurance even in the darkest moments.
Eugene Galvin presents his podcast, “Heavens Prayer Link with Eugene G.,” to assist those needing prayer and spiritual upliftment. It aims to extend hope and offer a service to those desiring to connect with heaven. It’s worth emphasizing, however, that the podcast doesn’t intend to replace or compete with traditional church services. Instead, it acts as an extension or another avenue where people can find God and communicate with Him.
Eugene, the man behind this spiritual endeavor, was raised in Georgia as one of eight children. His mother’s faith and resilience shaped his upbringing, recalling a moment when, as a curious child, he asked her why she continued to have children after the loss of three at birth. “She answered that if she stopped, I wouldn’t be here in this world. That struck a chord,” Eugene shares. His mother’s response gave him a sense of purpose, which he carries now even at 70 years old.
The man of faith was motivated to create the Heavens Prayer Link podcast during the peak of COVID-19 pandemic. He witnessed the widespread devastation of life, and he found himself in a state of turmoil, questioning the state of the world. “Those times were full of fear and uncertainty. I turned to introspection and prayer, and that process gave me the idea of the podcast,” Eugene remarks. However, what truly prompted him to start the venture was a life-altering encounter with what he believed was the voice of God.
Eugene was suddenly confronted by a voice one evening as he sat alone in his room, urging him not to fear and to recognize the Lord is God. “It was both terrifying and awe-inspiring,” he utters. “The voice continued, telling me that though I might not do what was asked of me now, there would come a time when I would fulfill God’s will,” Eugene observed the room turn from warm to normal temperature after the voice ceased. This instance left him convinced that he had been in the presence of the Lord.
The compassionate man decided to channel his encounter into his first podcast called “Hearing God Speak.” This episode was the beginning of his journey sharing his faith and experiences with others, helping them to recognize and respond to God’s voice. In the second episode, titled “Be Careful What You Pray For,” Eugene reflects on another experience, which humbled him and made him more aware of the power of prayer.
The podcaster recalls a time when he prayed for a flood as a sign that he should move to California. He was shocked when his prayer was answered. The flood began at the exact time he had prayed for and lasted as long as he had requested. No one was harmed, but the extent of the damage made Eugene realize the gravity of his request. This experience taught him that one must be mindful of what they ask for in prayer, as it will be granted in unexpected ways.
Essentially, Eugene’s faith in God is the foundation of his podcast. He brings his spiritual beliefs into each episode, offering listeners practical applications of faith in everyday life. In more recent episodes, he discusses the “Itchy Ear Rash” that symbolizes people’s tendency to seek comforting sermons instead of challenging truths. Meanwhile, “To Stop, Yield or Go” tackles the gap between Scripture and contemporary experiences.
Besides his podcast, Eugene is also involved in gospel music production. It’s another avenue where he fulfills his mission of meeting people’s spiritual needs. He has released two albums—“It’s That Time of Year” (2019) and “God Help Me” (2023)—and is currently working on a third album set to be released in October. His music, much like his podcast, aims to uplift and inspire his audience. “In everything I do, my goal is to leave a legacy of touching lives and guiding souls toward a deeper relationship with God,” he concludes.
