Join us as we sit Across the Counter from John Burke, the New York Times bestselling author of "Imagine Heaven.”

In this ATC Episode:


• John embarked on a 35-year exploration into over a thousand near-death experiences (NDEs). During our conversation, he reveals the compelling commonalities he found between these NDEs and biblical teachings, discussing the fears he faced about potential backlash and how he overcame them to publish his transformative book.

• Explore the fascinating intersection of near-death experiences and scientific skepticism with us. We delve into the debate around the adequacy of scientific theories that attempt to explain away NDEs. Highlighting key cases like Pam Reynolds', where verifiable observations were made despite no recorded brain activity, we discuss the implications of such experiences on our understanding of the afterlife and the enduring nature of the soul. These discussions are not just academic; they offer significant insights into the profound spiritual dimensions that these experiences suggest.

• What if our three-dimensional experience is just a shadow of a greater reality? In this episode, we dive into the profound implications of near-death experiences on our perceptions of life, death, and spirituality. We explore themes of unconditional love, life reviews, and the absence of judgment, sharing diverse testimonials from people of various religious backgrounds. 

• Hear about encounters that transcend cultural and religious barriers, like a woman from Tehran who met a being of light she identified as Jesus. Through these compelling stories, we reflect on the inclusive nature of God's love and the transformative power of these experiences, offering a richer understanding of faith and spirituality.
