One generous stranger offers to pay a man’s rent money after knocking on his door, and it turns out that was exactly what the man prayed to God about that very morning!
Juan is the man in the video paying strangers rent money and he runs a YouTube channel called That Was Epic. In this particular video, he went up to random people’s houses, knocked on the door, and offered to pay their rent. Little did he know that he would be the exact answer to someone’s prayer today.
“Hello. Super random question. I’m so sorry to bother you,” Juan asks a man right after he answers the door. “I’m just wondering how much you pay for rent here.”
“Oh, I’m paying $1,200,” the man says.
“Cool, let’s see here,” Juan says as he counts out $1,200 in cash.
The man at the door looks completely confused and asks Juan why he is giving him this money. Juan smiles at him and says that he just wants to help him out by paying his next rent payment. The man looks absolutely shocked.
“You know I’ve been praying about this,” the man says. “I don’t have rent money for tomorrow.”
“Are you serious? Well, there you go,” Juan replies. “Now you have it.”
“Are you an angel?” the man says.
“No. I just have a YouTube channel called That Was Epic,” explains Juan, “And today we’re actually knocking on people’s doors and offering them to pay their rent.”
“I’ve been praying. I’m in the middle of a job transition and it’s been tough for me. I prayed this morning,” the man shares with Juan. “I was paying my rent on time, but things have happened wrong the last two months. We moved here four months ago, and things went really bad for me when I got here. The company I work for got sold out, and we were basically left out in the street, literally. Even this morning, I told my nephew, I said ‘You know, the last thing that I could have that I will not give up is hope. That’s the last thing I’ll give up. I’m going to take this because I know it’s God. This is just a thing from the Lord.”
As the two men say their goodbyes, they share a hug and marvel at how God showed up here. What a beautiful interaction!
Two off duty cops prevented a robbery attempt while enjoying dinner together. Talk about a heroic date night!
Police officers Chase and Nicole McCowan from Louisville, Kentucky are newlyweds who got married six months ago. They recently decided to go to their favorite restaurant to enjoy a nice date together. What was supposed to be a nice, quiet night turned into this couple saving the day!
While the two were eating in the back of the restaurant, a masked gunman barged through the front doors, showed his gun, and yelled at the cashier to give him all the cash in the register.
“I can see the man’s hands and I can see the firearm in his hand,” says Chase as he recounts the night’s events.
Nicole quickly knew something was up as soon as she saw the cashier’s reaction. “It wasn’t until I saw the cashier’s hands go up like this, and I looked at [my husband] and was like ‘Is he doing what I think he’s doing?’” said Nicole.
That’s the moment when the pair jumped out of their booth, raised their guns, and charged the armed robber.
“He went right, and I went left,” said Nicole. “And it prevented him from coming out the back.”
“It’s one of those things when we train, we train to not be in front of each other to avoid crossfire across or one behind another,” explains Chase.
The police couple chased the robber out the front door and held down the suspect at gunpoint until backup arrived. Chase and Nicole make quite the pair and are now being hailed as heroes! Bet these crime-fighting newlyweds didn’t expect their date night to turn out this way, but it’s a good thing that they were in the right place at the right time so they could step in to save the day!
41-year-old pastor Todd Tilghman earned a 4-chair turn on The Voice with his incredible rendition of ‘We’ve Got The Night.’
Even though Todd’s wife was a nervous wreck, he barely got through the first sentence before three of the coaches had turned around. His distinctive tone eventually won over coach John Legend for the very first 4-chair turn of the season.
As Todd belted out the iconic words of ‘We’ve Got The Night’ from Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, you could see the excitement spread across his face.
“Look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?”
As if his performance wasn’t impressive enough, Todd revealed that he is actually a pastor with eight kids at home. This new revelation caught the attention of all the coaches and they started to battle over this worthy contestant.
The newest coach, Nick Jonas shared his similar musical history with Todd. "I'm actually a pastor's kid. My most fond memories were with my dad at the piano singing praise and worship songs. Do you know Phillips, Craig and Dean?"
That’s when they started to go back and forth with some iconic worship lyrics that really set the crowd on fire. Each coach had a compelling argument, but ultimately Todd decided to join Team Blake.
There’s no doubt that this man has a God-given talent for performing. I have a feeling he is going to go far in the competition.

Morning anchor Hoda Kotb shares a special moment of love from her fiancé Joel that truly opened her eyes.
For years, Hoda has been a staple on our TV’s as the co-host of The Today Show’s fourth hour. In 2018, she was named as the co-anchor of the beloved morning show, alongside Savannah Guthrie.
Even Hoda’s personal life is thriving with the addition of Haley Joy in February of 2017. Then, in April of 2019, Hoda added another girl into the mix with the adoption of Hope. The happiness keeps coming as she was recently engaged to longtime partner, Joel Schiffman.
While talking about men who exemplify honor and chivalry, Hoda shared a recent moment that caused her to take a pause. “I think sometimes it’s about the tiniest gesture in the world.”
Hoda recalled a weekend when her mother was visiting from out of town. Whenever she travels, Hoda’s mom likes to have her bag by the door.
On the morning of her departure, without being asked, Joel retrieved the bag and set it beside the door. “I looked at Joel and I said ‘I have never loved you more than right now.’” It was such a simple moment but it truly made Hoda realize the love that she had for her fiancé.
This is such an important reminder that it’s all of the little things that add up to the big moments. “You realize if you listen to your loved ones, they’ll tell you what they want. And sometimes, it’s so small. You don’t have to do anything major.”
The community of Peachtree, Georgia is thanking one bystander after he uses a shopping car to stop a shoplifter.
It was a scary situation at a grocery store in Georgia when a man fled the store as police chased after him. As he rushes across the parking lot, other people stop to look at the commotion. That is when one of the onlookers decides to step in and help out the officers in pursuit.
This quick-thinking shopper turned his shopping cart towards the running man and released the cart. It was a perfectly timed moment and the cart ran right into the fleeing suspect.
The alleged shoplifter tripped over the cart and fell to the ground, giving the police officers just enough time to catch up with the suspect and take him into custody. As the officers take the alleged shoplifter away, you can even see on of the cops give the ‘shopping cart hero’ a pat on the back.
The entire moment was captured on security cameras and body cams. It was truly a nerve-wrecking situation but this innocent bystander didn’t hesitate to offer assistance. And he timed that cart push perfectly!
Now, the suspect is in custody and Inside Edition reported that the ‘41-year-old suspect is facing charges of felony shoplifting and obstruction of an officer.’ Thank goodness that this onlooker was in the exact right place at the right time. Who else thinks God had a hand in this? What did you think of this scary parking lot situation?
28-year-old Jovin Webb earned a standing ovation with his bluesy rendition of ‘Whipping Post’ on American Idol.
Jovin Webb had a long journey before standing in front of the judges. While he was in college, Jovin lost her mother. “My mother was everything to me. She was my backbone.”
This woman help such a special place in his heart and her absence left a huge hole. “She was my biggest fan. And the one person that truly loves you. You know what I mean? Worst day of my life…by far.”
After her death, Jovin tried to numb his pain in a number of destructive ways. But when his son was born, Jovin felt alive again and knew he needed to turn his life around.
He said, "I don't want him to ever be afraid. I don't want him to ever feel alone. My reason to be here is to show my son, anything you want out of life, you can get it. If my momma can do it, I can do it.” And as soon as Jovin started singing ‘Whipping Post’ by The Allman Brothers, all of the judges were in awe. After the raw performance, judge Luke Bryan stood up to congratulate Jovin.
And then, Lionel Ritchie gave him one of the biggest compliments by saying, “You officially brought the BBQ sauce to American Idol. You understand, I don’t have to say a lot except that is what BBQ sauce sounds like.” Jovin easily earned his ticket to Hollywood and I have no doubt that he will go far in this competition.
Who else is looking forward to his next performance?

The judges on American Idol are so moved by Arthur Gunn’s amazing audition where he sang ‘Have You Ever Seen the Rain’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Arthur Gunn’s given name is Dibesh, which means light, but he chose to use Arthur Gunn as his stage name. He is 21 years old and has been living in Wichita, Kansas with his family for five years.
Originally, Arthur was born in Nepal and has a great love for his homeland. “I loved growing up in Nepal,” he says. “Nepal is a very beautiful country. You go up mountains and hills everywhere. It is a wonderful place.”
This is the place where his love of music began. “Music has always been my thing since I was a kid. I got my first guitar from my mom, and then I started to sing along to any song I would hear on the radio or TV. That’s when the dream started,” he shares. “After high school, I moved to America, because it’s the land of great opportunity.”
Once he got to Kansas, Arthur started to get into bluegrass and country music. “I hadn’t listened to that kind of music before, but I pulled toward it,” he explains. “It was magnetic.”
Right before his audition, Arthur shared that he was very excited but also a bit nervous. “To be performing on American Idol, it is a big deal,” he says. “So, this is my chance to make my American dream come true.”
Once he gets into the audition room and sings for Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie, he blows them all away with his powerful and soulful voice. The judges are clearly impressed with the talent that Arthur has.
“You have such a great storyteller voice, and I’m really excited for you,” says Katy Perry. “Arthur, you’re a Rockstar!”
Luke Bryan even asks Arthur if he wants to open up for his upcoming show in two weeks and tells him how he is such a unique artist.
“I want you to understand something. You have no idea what this journey is going to be for you,” Lionel Richie says to Arthur as he is giving him a hug after he finishes his audition. “God bless you. You are the story that we need to tell.”
It is clear how moved the judges were by this performance, and they cannot wait to see more of Arthur Gunn in Hollywood.
American Idol hopeful Nick Merico almost didn’t make it to Hollywood after his ego got in the way.
We first met this 23-year-old last season when he impressed the judges with his charm and musical. Even though Nick earned a ticket to Hollywood, he ultimately backed out. Now, he’s hoping to win over the judges again and prove that he has what it takes to be the next American Idol.
After sitting at the piano and belting out the lyrics to ‘You Say’ by Lauren Daigle, the judges had mixed reviews. Katy Perry started off by saying, “I just have this feeling that you think that you’re too good for us.”
She cautioned the young singer to make sure that his ego doesn’t get in the way of his future in music. Judge Luke Bryan, on the other hand, said that Nick had all the makings of an American Idol and should be going to Hollywood.
But it was Lionel Ritchie’s comments that stopped everyone in their tracks. “Nick, we have a problem. We have a big problem, honestly, because I don’t like you.” That’s when Lionel turned the tables and asked Nick how that made him feel because “I want you to understand what it feels like when people don’t adore you.”
After some sound advice from all three of the judges, Nick was voted through to Hollywood. Now, only time will tell if he truly has what it takes to keep his ego in check and conquer the American Idol stage.
American Idol might have found their newest champion in aspiring artist Louis Knight. This 19-year-old singer-songwriter had all the judges in awe after performing his original song ‘Change.’
Louis Knight was born in England, but moved to Philadelphia at the age of ten. It was there that he and his brother started to play soccer and met their new friend, Russell. Russell became a part of the family and always encouraged Louis to create music.
Sadly, Russell took his life and Louis and his entire family heavily felt the loss. That’s when Louis decided to put his emotions into song and wrote ‘Change.’ While sitting at the piano, he belted out these heartfelt words for the panel of judges.
“I'm lucky to live another day
But how would you feel if I showed you my mistakes?
And what if I learnt to walk away?
See, I'm concerned it'll all go to waste
It's time for change”
As soon as the performance was over, judge Luke Bryan had a huge statement to make. “I think you might be the biggest star we’ve ever had on American Idol.”
Both Katy Perry and Lionel Ritchie agreed that Louis had something special. Lionel said, “From a songwriter, you’re onto something big.” As he received a unanimous vote to move on to the Hollywood round, Louis couldn’t help but think of Russell. “Russell would be absolutely thrilled. I think he’d be looking down and he’d be smiling. He’d be really proud.” What a bright, young star.
In this fun video, an energetic street busker starts a dance party in the middle of a London train station.
“Repeat after me!” the street busker yells over the crowd. He then proceeds to sing the song ‘Twist and Shout’ by The Beatles, and everyone around him sings along as well.
“Shake it up, baby, now
Twist and shout
Come on, come on, come, come on, baby, now
Come on and work it on out”
As he’s singing, a large crowd of people can be seen laughing and dancing with each other around the train station. “You know you twist so fine; you know you twist so good,” the street busker continues. “You really got me going now, just like I knew you would!”
The crowd continues to dance around while the street busker transitions into singing ‘Labamba’ by Los Lobos.
“Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia pa' mi pa' ti y arriba y arriba”
During his performance, the people dancing in the area started making a large conga line. They are jumping around, waving their hands, and moving their bodies together. The place is filled with so many smiles and so much laughter. They are having such a fun time and the energy is contagious. What an amazing atmosphere! People are clearly filled with joy by the dance party that emerged here, and they are filming the special occurrence on their phones.
This beautiful video shows how music can bring people together. And sometimes in the middle of ordinary life, like getting on a train to commute around a city, wonderful things can happen, like a giant dance party with a bunch of strangers! Just like it says in Ecclesiastes 3:4, there is a time for everything. “A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.”
