On this week’s Heaven Meets Earth, author and pastor John Burke returns to share some of the most sobering and eye-opening accounts from his decades of research into near-death experiences—this time, from people who died and encountered hell.
Burke has interviewed and studied over 1,500 people across cultures, ages, and worldviews who clinically died and came back to life with detailed accounts of what they saw and experienced in the afterlife. While many describe beauty, peace, and overwhelming love in the presence of God, a smaller yet significant number encountered terrifying separation, darkness, and despair.
In this powerful conversation, John explores:
What these experiences reveal about the reality of hell
How God’s justice and mercy coexist
Why these stories point to hope, not fear
What Scripture says about eternal separation from God
How these encounters radically changed the lives of those who had them
Whether you’re a skeptic or believer, this episode will challenge you to consider eternity in a whole new light.
