In 1980, Bryan Melvin was a self-described militant atheist living a reckless lifestyle when he contracted cholera after drinking contaminated water on a construction job in Arizona.

Within hours, he collapsed.

Bryan says he left his body, underwent a life review, stood before Jesus in judgment, and descended into a terrifying realm he describes as hell — where he saw his own cell waiting.

In this powerful conversation, Bryan shares how that experience transformed him, what he learned about grace and accountability, and why he believes Jesus rescued him.

This episode explores questions about eternity, judgment, mercy, and the life-changing power of faith.
