What happens after we die? Thousands of people have reported near-death experiences—brushes with death in which they encounter God, Jesus, angels, and departed family members—and have come back to tell us what awaits us on the other side. After Heidi Barr’s own near-death experience (NDE) she became a hospice nurse. She joins us today to share what it’s like to pass on and stories of her encounters with the afterlife.
