John Burke does a great job listening to each interviewee, puts much thought and care into each interview, and lets the interviewee lead the story - offering a guiding voice to keep it moving forward. He is compassionate, inquisitive, and offers the listener and interviewee a safe space to learn more about a topic rarely discussed in public despite often on the minds of each human at some point in their lives. Thankful to John for the countless hours he’s taken to research this topic and then to... more
This podcast gives me so much hope for what is to come after this life on earth. Not because of wishful thinking, but because of the truth of the Bible. Pastor Burke is excellent at relating these stories back to the word of God. Back to the scriptures. Explaining them and understanding them through the lens of Christ. I’m so grateful to have found this podcast.
I can't stop listening to the stories. They give me so much hope and renewed excitement for the invisible layers of the universe and God's redemptive love.
