Round Trip Death Podcast - NDE

In this deeply moving episode, we sit down with Lura Ketchledge, a woman whose Near Death Experience (NDE) as a teenager forever transformed her understanding of life, death, and everything in between.

From a tragic horseback riding accident at age 19 to an unforgettable NDE experience, Lura takes us through the moments when her heart stopped, her consciousness left her body, and she journeyed beyond this reality into a place of indescribable peace, love, and clarity.

She shares what it felt like to encounter her beloved grandfather on the other side, experience a profound life review, and even glimpse what appeared to be past lives. Lura also explains the lessons she brought back from her Near Death Experience, including the importance of kindness, accountability, and not interfering in another person’s destiny.

Years later, Lura recounts additional extraordinary moments of spiritual connection, including times when her late loved ones returned to guide her through life-threatening health challenges. Her story is not only about survival, but about awakening to the continuity of existence beyond physical death.

In this deeply moving and heartfelt episode, host Eric Bennett welcomes Karen Wilson, the mother of Moriah Wilson, a young professional athlete tragically murdered in 2022.

This is not a typical neardeath experience (NDE) episode—rather, it’s a story of spiritual connection, divine timing, and healing through grief.

Karen shares the profound spiritual experiences surrounding her daughter’s death, including premonitions, signs from nature, and the presence of her daughter’s spirit in the days following her passing.

The episode also highlights the serendipitous arrival of a comforting letter from a family friend, Kate Quay, whose own shared-death experience was featured in Episode 506.

This episode is a powerful message of hope, love, and the eternal bonds that transcend death.

Steve discusses the ongoing challenges of faith, the vision of heaven he eventually received, and the hope he now shares with others.

Randy Draughon's most significant NDE (near death experience) happened as a result of a drug overdose. He died and was transported to a horrific place with flames over his head. He even saw a giant 8-10 foot tall demon.

It wasn't until his darkest moment of despair and desperation that he finally screamed, "Jesus!" Immediately he was back in his body, free from pain and torture.

In that place he did not feel God's love. The roar of the fire was so loud that it traumatized him for many days following the NDE.

Randy had two other significant NDE-related experiences in his life that may be categorized more as out of body (OBE) experiences; one with the beauty, light and love of heaven.

In this episode, Randy opens up and explains his journey. He no longer has any fear of death, but has learned that both heaven and hell are real.
