You’ll hear honest stories from his own life, surprising brain science insights, and life-changing biblical wisdom.

• Why replacing lies with truth is essential for lasting peace
• The surprising link between your thoughts, your body, and your faith
• How social media fuels comparison—and how to guard your mind against it

What really happens after we die? Best-selling author and former skeptic John Burke reveals stunning patterns across 1,500+ near-death experiences - from life reviews to overwhelming encounters with love.

John Burke is a former agnostic engineer turned pastor and New York Times bestselling author of Imagine Heaven. For over 30 years, he has studied more than 1,500 near-death experiences from people of all backgrounds - atheists, doctors, children, even blind individuals. His findings uncover striking consistencies that challenge our assumptions about the afterlife, eternity, and the nature of God.

He explains:

◻️ Why so many people report meeting a “being of light” radiating unconditional love
◻️ The phenomenon of panoramic life reviews—and what they reveal about our choices
◻️ How skeptics, scientists, and even blind people report seeing real events while clinically dead
◻️ What these stories suggest about heaven, hell, and the purpose of life on Earth
◻️ Why people across cultures say the same three words: “God is love.”
