What happens when we die?

Bestselling author and pastor John Burke (Imagine Heaven and Imagine the God of Heaven) has analyzed more than 1,500 near-death experiences from around the world. In this episode, he explores the patterns people report after coming close to death.

Some describe encounters with Jesus, even across different faith traditions like Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism. Others recall experiences of heaven, hell, or life reviews that profoundly affected their beliefs and how they approach life.

From out-of-body experiences to encounters with a brilliant light, these extraordinary stories challenge what we think we know about consciousness, the afterlife, and the divine.
