As media personalities Shawn Ryan and Tucker Carlson have embarked on their spiritual journeys toward Christ, the two sat down together where Ryan explained the miraculous way God was trying to grab his attention.
“My journey to Christ was through signs,” Ryan says. “I had this experience in Sedona where I came to Christ, and three things happened to me, all very profound things within about 15 minutes.”

After this, Ryan called a spiritual mentor of his who explained the reality of demonic attacks and guardian angels, and later talked to his IT employee who also discussed the supernatural with him. Following this, Ryan soon saw the number “444” in multiple places.
“I’m driving back to the studio and I look at the clock and it says 4:44. I look at the gas thing and it says 444 miles left to empty, and it’s 4 hours and 44 minutes after my conversation with my IT guy,” says Ryan. “I call up my social media manager. I’m like, ‘hey, look up 444; I want to know what it means.'”
The meaning behind this number blew away Ryan and what it meant for his relationship with God.
“It means your guardian angels want to know that they’re watching over you,” says Ryan.
