A young boy emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven.Heaven Is for Real is the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn't know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.Colton said he met his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how "reaaally big" God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit "shoots down power" from heaven to help us.Told by the father, but often in Colton's own words, the disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be ready, there is a coming last battle.Part 2 Mike Paris Tent Coordinator discus the event.Gospel Tent Revival Meetings Every Night - Wells, Maine August 23rd-30th.Sunday August 23rd Through Tuesday Evening the 25th 7:00 PM: Evangelist Mark Dunfee of New Jersey will be preaching, prophesying and praying for people.

On today's SPECIAL Quick Start episode: Millions were moved by the miraculous story of Colton Burpo—the little boy who claimed he visited heaven during a near-death experience. His story inspired a bestselling book and a major motion picture, Heaven Is for Real. But two decades later, where is Colton now? In this powerful interview, Colton opens up about how that life-changing moment continues to shape his faith, his ministry, and his future. From childhood memories of meeting Jesus to his current path in Colorado, this is an inspiring SPECIAL episode of the Quick Start Podcast!
Near death experiences can be both daunting and intriguing. As believers, we can take comfort in these testimonies knowing that there truly is eternal life with our Creator at the end of our life on earth. Who can forget that precious little boy Colton Burpo, who recounted his story of going to heaven and coming back on every news outlet and even published a book and produced a movie about his astonishing journey. There are so many stories just like his! One such story is the story of our guest Calvin Cassady. Calvin is a leader in his Native American community and retired school teacher from Southwest Missouri. Calvin calls his testimony "a roundtrip to heaven and back": when he was 19 years old, he and some college friends were in an explosive car accident in the Ozarks. Miraculously, a few strangers managed to pull all three people from the car and call 911, and they disappeared before the ambulance came. Calvin was so critically injured he began to transition from life to death. He describes this journey to heaven as coming into a tangible awareness of sin, repentance and the devil, because in his transit to heaven both sin and the devil were left behind. Hallelujah! On Calvin's way back to earth as he was revived, he felt the weight of sin and the brokenness of this earth return back to his consciousness. Calvin asserts that when we lose people on this earth, we should rejoice for the person who has passed. For those of us who have not had a near death experience we cannot know the magnitude of the joy of heaven, but we can listen to the stories of those who have and look forward to that indescribable joy that we, too, will experience one glorious day.

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas' website.This podcast is a book review, examining Todd Burpo's Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 2010), 162 pp.Why the story seems genuineThe credibility of the author is enhanced for three reasons.1. The author (Colton Burpo's father) is a Christian pastor.2. The writer is highly personable, and shares a lot from his own life.3. He repeatedly emphasizes how he and his wife tried not to lead their little boy on--not to put words in his mouth.Moreover, this is a subject nearly everyone is interested in.1. The story resonates with popular culture: spiritual experiences are in, even if (for many) church and doctrine are out.2. It's an easy read-- you can finish in a sitting.The medical context of the “visit to heaven”62 - During emergency appendix surgery the boy had an unusual experience, while under anesthesia. The visit lasted 3 minutes, according to the little boy, into which it sounds like a day's activities were crammed.78 - He did not dieMiraculous knowledge?61 - He had knowledge of his parents praying for him, and of his mother being on the telephone, and their being in separate rooms. He rose above his body – a common experience during surgeries and near-death experiences.63 - Jesus had a rainbow horse. 65 - Jesus wore white clothes and a purple sash. 67 - There were red marks on his feet and palms. 145 - The boy later points out Jesus in a sketch by Akiane Kramarik, Prince of Peace (73). 73 - Jesus has light eyes and streaks in his hair, which appears to be permed (!).He was with Jesus, whom he recognized, as well as the father (who was “really big”) and even the Holy Spirit. Jesus loves the little children.72 - There were many other humans in heaven, esp. children, many of whom Colton later named. But what about John 3:13? 73-74 - The dead (humans) sport wings and halos – and sounds like something out of a children's book, like The Littlest Angel. There are a few other questionable statements, biblically speaking, such as a literal battle of Armageddon.86 - He saw his deceased grandfather, though as a younger man. (This man had died before Colton was born.) 123 - Later recognized him in a picture of him in his 30s – did not recognize him in later pictures (died in early 60s). 90 - Colton's mother was shocked, because she has not thought her father would be in heaven. He'd apparently "accepted Christ" 28 years before his death, but did not tell his family members.94 - The boy talks to his dead sister (fetus of 2 months).This really tugs on the heartstrings of the reader (and the boy's mother). See also 96, 128-129.100 - There are literal thrones. 101 - Jesus on the right side of God, the archangel Gabriel on the left.105 - Heaven is the New Jerusalem of Revelation.126 - He sees power shooting down on his father when he preaches (Spirit) – like the common evangelical notion of being “anointed” by the Spirit whenever a minister preaches the word of God.133 - Angels carry swords in heaven.139 - The battle of Armageddon is apparently to be fought with swords and bows & arrows (little boys' toys?).152 - There are dogs in heaven.Explainable?It's easy to rationalize most of the details. Even the theology: Trinitarian God, for example. A nearly-four-year-old would have heard a great deal of talk about God and the Bible. It's not so easy to account for the details of miscarried sister and grandfather, assuming they are not fictive or exaggerated. Yet we weigh the work as a whole. We are not required to accept everything in the book just because one or two details cannot be explained away.Why the book fails to persuade (me)1. All the details sound like they've come from children's Sunday school pictures. The story supports evangelical theology – e.g. immediate transport to heaven, literal battle of Armageddon, taking the picture of the New Jerusalem to be heaven, conversion through “accepting Christ” – not likely to appeal so strongly to other Protestants, Catholics, Orthodox, or non-denominational Christians.2. The account flatly contradicts the testimony of the Old and New Testament and the early Christian writers. 80 Paul went to heaven – but in 2 Cor 12 Paul goes to paradise. Not a single detail of the experience is related, only its ineffability. Yet Colton Burpo found no trouble describing everything he saw, which makes the passage his father cites as a parallel disconfirm his son's experience.3. 88 - The author admits a history of mental illness in the family (his father). Perhaps this is relevant.4. Although it's certainly a very interesting story, in many places feels hokeyTwo experts weigh inDavid Bercot (a personal friend and expert on early Christianity):a. This account contradicts the evidence of the early church.b. Why didn't Lazarus ever say anything about this death experience (John 11)?c. Hallucinations are not uncommon when people are under anesthesia.d. In the past there have been clear instances of fraud, too, though this doesn't seem to be a case of that.Gary Habermas (apologist, historian, philosopher of religion), private correspondence:“I don't say we know exactly where NDErs may go, heaven or otherwise. But there is an incredible amount of evidence that something objective is happening.”ConclusionSomething happened, and I have no desire to explain it all away, but the details don't correspond particularly well with the Bible. Despite the often expressed opinions of the pastor-father, I am afraid the account does not impress me as celestial. Whatever little Colton experienced, it was not the “visit to heaven.”

Since the dawn of Christian mass media and pop culture, people have been fascinated by stories of those who gained supernatural insight into the realms of life after death, but came back to earth to tell the tale. Near death experiences are a common vehicle for this, and have provided fodder for many popular books, movies, and daytime talk show appearences over the years. Notably, a young boy named Colton Burpo provided the vision for HEAVEN IS FOR REAL, a 2010 New York Times best selling book that got adapted into a film of the same name that we've previously reviewed for our show. Last year, we received a powerful new addition to this canon -- the completely fictionalized story of David Burrows, the titular MAN WHO WENT TO HEAVEN. David is a grocery store employee who was shot in a robbery attempt and died on the operating table for 20 minutes, during which time he visited heaven and learned of the spiritual destinations of many of his loved ones on earth. Heaven is depicted in the most incredible way in this movie -- CGI renderings of humans and angels look like genuinely beautiful y2k rave visuals, or Second Life avatars. The film is full of funny and shocking moments, including shows within a show (Dean Cain cameos as a doubting pastor on a TV show titled “Heaven!”). The film offers some wild commentary on abortion and criticizes spiritual leaders who deny the experiences of the common man. It's one of the most compelling films we've watched for our podcast, and we hope you enjoy our review!

When doctors inexplicably missed four-year-old Colton Burpo's burst appendix, and the resulting infection nearly took his life, his father railed at God as Colton's life seemed to slip away. The post Episode 2 – Todd Burpo – For the Burpo family, ‘Heaven is for Real' first appeared on God Reports.
Over the weekend we enjoyed a family movie, it was “Heaven Is Real” a 2014 film written and directed by Randall Wallace (writer of Braveheart) and based on Pastor Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent's 2010 book of the same name. The film stars Greg Kinnear. I had always avoided the movie because I assumed it would be another cheesy Christian movie, and there had been questions over the validity of the young boy's claims. Four-year old Colton Burpo claims to visit heaven during surgery for a burst appendix. It was surprisingly well done, and did a great job of portraying the dad's and others skepticism at the boy's claims. It left me wondering, why don't we see more movies like this? True family movies that reflect what most of America is, Christians, who live their faith. In a 2019 Pew Survey, 65% of American identify as Christians. Yet, where are they represented in the movies, in television, and in the news and media? You can never forget, the people creating the content you consume not only don't value what you believe, they want you to believe something else. They want your kids to believe something else. I bring this up because sometimes it's easy to think you're crazy when you hear messages that contradict what you believe and you have moments you go, maybe they are right. As the movie ended I was reminded of a Bible verse learned long ago: Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes…." Stand up for what you believe, be heard, know you are not alone. In fact, you are in the majority, by a lot.
Scoff and Wonk retell the miraculous story of Colton Burpo, a child who to this day maintains his claim of having visited Heaven and come back again. This famous case, having never been fully explained, remains open to interpretation and is also the inspiration behind the bestselling novel and film, "Heaven is For Real" (2003).

Todd Burpo is for real. He is the real deal. We have an amazingly deep conversation about his journey through the book and movie "Heaven is for Real". And, in his new book "God is for Real", Burpo answers some of life's most difficult questions. Why are there are so many hypocritical church people? Why do Christians make such a big deal about the cross? Why doesn't God seem to answer our biggest prayers? People are tired of pat answers offered up in churchy language explaining away their questions; we want the down-and-dirty truth. What bothers us about life and faith is real and gritty. We need a plain-spoken voice to offer God's answers to difficult struggles and painful doubts. Todd charges into these subjects with a fireman's courage, a small-town friend's vulnerability, and a local pastor's compassion. He helps articulate the questions people have, then gives them relevant biblical wisdom for taking their next steps in faith.

A young boy emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven.Heaven Is for Real is the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn't know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.Colton said he met his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how "reaaally big" God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit "shoots down power" from heaven to help us.Told by the father, but often in Colton's own words, the disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be ready, there is a coming last battle.Part 2 Mike Paris Tent Coordinator discus the event.Gospel Tent Revival Meetings Every Night - Wells, Maine August 23rd-30th.Sunday August 23rd Through Tuesday Evening the 25th 7:00 PM: Evangelist Mark Dunfee of New Jersey will be preaching, prophesying and praying for people.

Over the last few years, there have been several books, movies, and other accounts of people visiting both Heaven and Hell. The three most memorable being Colton Burpo, a (then) four-year-old boy who supposedly visited Heaven; Don Piper, supposedly killed instantly in a car accident, and visited Heaven for 90 minutes before being revived; and Bill Wiese, who claims to have been dead for 23 minutes, visiting Hell during that time.Justin Peters, of Justin Peters Ministries, travels the US and overseas to give seminars on the Word-Faith movement, and other discernment topics, joins Echo Zoe Radio this month to discuss these stories, and compare them to Scripture and each other to demonstrate their falsehood.

Have people really seen heaven and lived to tell about it? What else have people reported? P.M.H. Atwater, L.H.D., is internationally recognized as one of the top researchers in the world into near-death experiences (NDEs). She has completed 10 books on her findings since starting her pioneering work in this area in 1978. P.M.H. has much to say regarding the phenomenon reported in the new movie Heaven is for Real, popular in theaters right now: "The story of Colton Burpo is the story of the vast majority of children who have near-death experiences. These children typically see the dead as quite alive, converse with angels, spend time within God's Great Light, see grass singing and animals talking. They come back wiser and more intelligent than before, more sensitive, intuitive, and open..." P.M.H.'s most recent book on the topic is Near-Death Experiences: The Rest of the Story ~ What They Teach Us About Living, Dying, and Our True Purpose. She has personally survived 3 NDEs herself. What are all of these experiences telling us? P.M.H. will explore the evidence and her remarkable conclusions. P. M. H. has won many awards, speaks around the world, and has appeared on numerous TV and radio programs, including Larry King Live, Sally Jessy Raphael, Regis & Kathie Lee, Entertainment Tonight, Geraldo, and Coast to Coast AM. She has lectured twice at the United Nations. She also inspires others through her work as a prayer chaplain and spiritual counselor.

Cita aberrante: Si te incitare tu hermano, hijo de tu madre, o tu hijo, tu hija, tu mujer o tu amigo íntimo, diciendo en secreto: Vamos y sirvamos a dioses ajenos, que ni tú ni tus padres conocisteis, de los dioses de los pueblos que están en vuestros alrededores, cerca de ti o lejos de ti, desde un extremo de la tierra hasta el otro extremo de ella; no consentirás con él, ni le prestarás oído; ni tu ojo le compadecerá, ni le tendrás misericordia, ni lo encubrirás, sino que lo matarás; tu mano se alzará primero sobre él para matarle, y después la mano de todo el pueblo. Le apedrearás hasta que muera, por cuanto procuró apartarte de Jehová tú Dios, que te sacó de tierra de Egipto, de casa de servidumbre; para que todo Israel oiga, y tema, y no vuelva a hacer en medio de ti cosa semejante a esta. Deuteronomio 13:6-11 El morón de la semana El Morón Desconocido (por Francisco Milián): Aquí va mi homenaje al morón desconocido. Me senté a la mesa de un food court, al lado de otra mesa ocupada por cuatro caballeros. Uno de ellos hablaba y gesticulaba, mientras los otros tres escuchaban embobados. El que vociferaba dijo que había recibido una revelación: los nombres de los seis demonios que gobiernan La Tierra. Y los nombres eran...Satanás, Lucifer, Belcebú, La Virgen María, Nefertiti y la Venus de Milo. De mi parte, estoy seguro la Venus de Milo perdió los brazos en combate con el Arcángel Miguel.

(Noticia aquí) Senador Dan Patrick (R-TX) – Por proponer una medida para requerir que sea mandatorio que una mujer se haga un sonograma, escuche los latidos del corazón del bebé y escuche una descripción del feto por su doctor antes de proceder a realizarse un aborto.
