  • Excellent , Honest, Candid

    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

  • One of my Favorites!

    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.

    This is such an encouraging podcast! If you find the ads for gambling and plastic surgery distracting, the YouTube channel has the same audio and different ads.

Atheist's Hellish Near-Death Experience in Paris: “They Were Tearing Me Apart”
Q: What would you say to people going, well, if God would just do that for me.
Storm says people should seek God sincerely in a quiet place, honestly reflect on their lives, ask Jesus for God's love, and wait without expecting a dramatic experience.
Atheist's Hellish Near-Death Experience in Paris: “They Were Tearing Me Apart”
Q: Why would God create a place like hell? Why if He loves us so much, would He allow anybody to go there?
Storm says God does not want anyone to go to hell, but people can reject God and choose alienation from him. He describes hell as the consequence of that rejection, rather than simply a place of punishment.
Dead 105 Minutes With No Oxygen. Doctors Can’t Explain His Brain
Q: What's the one thing from being in the presence of God that you want people to understand about God?

Dead 105 Minutes With No Oxygen. Doctors Can’t Explain His Brain
