What happens when a skeptical agnostic begins investigating near-death experiences? For bestselling author and pastor John Burke, that search changed everything.  John's journey began as a teenager while his father was dying of cancer. After picking up a book about near-death experiences (NDEs), he spent decades studying thousands of NDE accounts from people around the world. Their stories of encountering a God of light, love, and overwhelming peace, led him to a deeper understanding of Scripture, the afterlife, and the reality of heaven. 

John Burke, author of Imagine Heaven and Imagine the God of Heaven, explains how science, faith, and evidence from NDEs intersect, and how his own path from doubt to belief became a powerful story of hope. If you're curious about life after death, what the Bible says about heaven, or how God pursues people through their questions, this episode offers  real-life stories you won't forget.

Michael Ritchason grew up feeling like he was on the losing end of the comparison game.  Insecurity drove him to chase affirmation and attention. It worked for a time, but then his girlfriend left, his cool car crashed, and the rest of his world seemed to be falling apart.  Soon Michael was falling apart, too. Discouragement led to disconnection, and that led to depression. One night, he began to believe the lie that he was utterly alone. Then God, the One called Immanuel – God with us, did something supernatural.  It was a reminder that Michael wasn't alone, and God had plans and a purpose for him.  Michael is the lead pastor at Riverside Community Church, a multi-cultural, multi-generational, and multi-socioeconomic church in the heart of Peoria, Illinois.

What began as a simple prayer meeting led to deep healing and reconciliation. As Mark wrestled with years of hurt, God's voice broke through, impressing these urgent words on his heart: "Call your father and hurry." That phone call, made just three hours before his father's passing, became a moment of profound restoration. This story is a reminder of God's relentless pursuit and perfect timing to heal what's broken.

Barry and Gina Copeland have learned when it comes to addiction, desperation is a good thing. That's when you finally realize Jesus is your only hope. Barry and Gina have followed Jesus and worked in ministry for years, and yet their son struggled with addiction for more than a decade. They tried everything they knew to "fix" the problem.  In the process, they lost their joy, their dreams, and lived in chaos.  Then God used powerful experiences to teach them their son's addiction was not their fault, and they couldn't fix him.  They changed how they prayed and demonstrated God's love to their son.  Today Barry and Gina help those who have loved ones trapped in addiction through the ministry of Finding Hope, a part of Hope Is Alive, an organization that exists to radically change the lives of drug addicts, alcoholics and those who love them. 

After years of questioning if adoption was right for her family, Megan Nilsen felt a clear leading from God to pray, fast, and search His Word. Her 'yes' to adoption opened the door to both immense challenges and undeniable moments of God's presence, teaching her about love, grace, and identity in Christ. 

Megan is also the author of the Advent devotional Untangled Advent: Finding Hope in a Weary World, designed to help readers reconnect with God's peace during the holiday season. Learn more at meganbnilsen.com/untangled-advent.

For years, Dallas Jenkins had a weekly notification on his phone, "Pray for Pageant."  Dallas is the creator and director of The Chosen, the first-ever multi-season show about Jesus.  Twenty years ago, Dallas read a beloved children's novel called, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, and fell in love with it.  He just knew he was meant to make that book into a movie.  It wasn't just a hope or a dream.  To Dallas, it felt like a calling.  But over and over, for years, Dallas was told "no." There simply seemed to be no way.  This is a story about praying, waiting, and following God's direction, even when there seems to be no hope.

God loves second chances.  Jermaine Wilson had spent four years in prison by the time he was 19. His dad had been to prison. His brother had been to prison, and his sister had been to prison.

Katie Campell has always had a passion to pray for people.  A few years ago, she began to sense God was asking her to follow him to a place she didn't yet know and for a ministry that wasn't yet clear. To most people, that sounds crazy. Why would you pack up your family, move 2500 miles to a place where you knew no one, for a ministry that didn't even exist?  This is the story behind 30A Prays, a ministry on the beaches of County Road 30A which spans the Gulf Coast of Florida roughly between Destin and Panama City. Since March of 2023, 30A Prays has prayed for and shared the Gospel with thousands of Gen-Z students from across the U.S.  God is moving among Gen Z on the beaches of 30A, and it began with a free fall of faith.
