Life After Death with Lee Strobel


Listen Later

Have you ever experienced a near death experience? Have you ever wondered what Heaven is like? Will there be marriage or even our favorite dogs in Heaven? 

Well, friends, We are tackling all of that in this amazing episode with my new friend, the one and only, Lee Strobel! This one is very special and a bit vulnerable for me. I was moved in the moment and shared something I’ve never shared before. 

After a near death experience several years ago, Lee knew he needed to tackle life’s last and, in his opinion, most important question—what happens once we die, which was a bit of a pivot from his normal line of work. In fact, as an atheist-turned-Christian, he has been described in the Washington Post as “one of the evangelical community’s most popular apologists.”

Lee joins me on the show today to talk about his latest book, The Case for Heaven: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for Life After Death, and the things he learned after two years of researching, interviews and studying the Bible. 

Listen to learn more about: 

  1. Near-Death Experiences (NDE) and if we can trust them or not
  • What neuroscience tells us about our souls and surviving the demise of our bodies
  • What physics, history and philosophy say about life after death
  • The difference between annihilationism and universalism and why it matters
  • Favorite quotes:

    1. Look at what actually takes place during a near death experience, not how people interpret it. Because people can interpret it through the lens of their worldview. So what actually happens during most near death experiences is consistent with what the Bible tells us about the afterlife.


    2. Heaven will resemble our present Earth, but it would be a transformed place for transformed people.


    3. If you look at the cosmos, you look at the stars. You look at these billions of galaxies that are light years away. When we look, we say ‘Well, we'll never be able to get to those.’ In heaven, what if in a mere thought, you could explore a distant galaxy?


    4. On earth, we have certain colors that we can see and it's based on the color spectrum of the light from the sun, but in heaven, the color spectrum would be based on the light of God. We will see colors that we can't even describe in this world because they're not in our color spectrum.

    In this episode I answer this question:

     1. If someone wanted to start reading the Bible for personal growth, where would you have then start?  (39:45)
