What happens after we die? We know that eventually we’ll be raised to life and spend eternity in the World to Come, but what happens before that? What does the soul experience in the moments after death? To answer this question, you’d have to talk to someone who died and came back to life. Well, it turns out there are millions of people who claim to have experienced just that. Our Messiah Podcast Selects article today explores the extraordinary phenomenon of near-death experiences (NDE).
