October 20, 2015 All of us long to know what life after death will be like. Bestselling author John Burke is no exception. In Imagine Heaven, Burke compares over 100 gripping stories of near-death experiences (NDEs) to what Scripture says about our biggest questions of Heaven: Will I be myself? Will I see friends and loved ones? What will Heaven look like? What is God like? What will we do forever? What about children and pets? For decades, Burke has been studying accounts of survivors brought back from near death who lived to tell of both heavenly and hellish experiences. While not every detail of individual NDEs correlate with Scripture, Burke shows how the common experiences shared by thousands of survivors--including doctors, college professors, bank presidents, people of all ages and cultures, and even blind people--point to the exhilarating picture of Heaven promised in the Bible. This thrilling journey into the afterlife will make you feel like you've been there. It will forever change the way you view the life to come and the way you live your life today. You'll discover Heaven is even more amazing than you've ever imagined. Book mentioned in interview- 90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death and Life by Don Piper September 1, 2004 As he is driving home from a minister's conference, Baptist minister Don Piper collides with a semi-truck that crosses into his lane. He is pronounced dead at the scene. For the next 90 minutes, Piper experiences heaven where he is greeted by those who had influenced him spiritually. He hears beautiful music and feels true peace. Back on earth, a passing minister who had also been at the conference is led to pray for Don even though he knows the man is dead. Piper miraculously comes back to life and the bliss of heaven is replaced by a long and painful recovery. For years Piper kept his heavenly experience to himself. Finally, however, friends and family convinced him to share his remarkable story. HELP ACU SPREAD THE WORD! Please go to Apple Podcasts and give ACU a 5 star rating.

They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” - Revelation 21: 2-4 (NIV) John's website for ALL links and books: https://imagineheaven.net/ Link for John Burke's new podcast on YouTube: / @johnburkeimagineheaven Link for itunes Imagine Heaven Podcast with John Burke: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/imagine-heaven-podcast-with-john-burke/id1784735801 Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/johnburkeofficial

In this crossover podcast episode, host Chris Comeaux does a recap of the top podcasts of 2024. First for TCNtalks with amazing guests like New York Times best-selling author John Burke, Peter Benjamin, Dr. Ira Byock, and Judi Lund Person.Chris then does a recap from our first year of our new podcast, the Anatomy of Leadership, with great guests such as Quint Studer, Meridith Elliott Powell, John Locke, and Brian Jaudon.Additionally, Chris introduces the intriguing concept of the "One Word," which serves as a thematic or guiding principle for the upcoming year. This is a great piece of wisdom Teleios and many of it's members practice every year. This is a much more powerful way to set the tone and intention for your upcoming year and is much more useful than a New Year's Resolution which seem to wane about thirty days into the New Year. By looking back on the past year and gazing forward, individuals can gain clarity about their personal causes and purposes. Selecting a One Word for the year can offer a focused and directional approach to both personal and professional life.Host: Chris Comeaux, MLAS, CPA; President/CEO of Teleios Collaborative Network and Teleios Consulting GroupTeleios Collaborative Network / https://www.teleioscn.org/tcntalkspodcast

In the summer of 2020, best-selling author Sebastian Junger nearly died. He was rushed to the hospital, and while medical personnel administered emergency care, he slipped out of consciousness. It was then he began to see, and experience, things that he had a hard time explaining. The medical staff were successful, and Junger's life was saved. Junger recently published his reflections on his near-death experience in a new book, “In My Time of Dying.” After hearing Junger interviewed on the Joe Rogan Experience, Brian wanted to dissect the conversation with NDE researcher and expert, John Burke. The close friends sit down to discuss what can be learned from Junger's experience, and how it can influence our lives today. This is the 4th episode in a series around near-death experiences.

There is nothing explicit or detailed, it is simply referenced. The focus of our conversation is on healing, forgiveness and hope. and I pray this testimony will encourage every listener. Heidi Barr was 16 when she died in a horseback riding accident and came face to face with Jesus. Raised in a small Orthodox Jewish community in Iowa, her atheist father had taught her that Jesus was a hoax. Heidi was so passionate about this Jesus she encountered that she graduated early and traveled to Israel for a year. She learned Hebrew and wanted to absorb everything she could related to Jesus.

In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Upon their return, they describe being more alive than ever, often in the presence of a God of light and love they never wanted to leave.Starting as a skeptic and an engineer, John spent over 35 years researching how these experiences align with biblical truths. Having interviewed over 1,500 people, he has uncovered common themes that point to the reality of the afterlife and the boundless grace of the God of Heaven. These profound stories reveal a glimpse into God's love for all nations and testify to the truth of life beyond death.Thank you for listening.

In this week's Monday Minute, we reflect on the powerful message from our recent sermon: Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? While we addressed many tough questions, there's one verse we didn't get to dive into — Hebrews 4:15. This verse reminds us that our High Priest, Jesus, understands our weaknesses and has faced the same trials we do. Unlike other religions that teach how to reach God, following Jesus shows us how God came to us, walked with us, and suffered for us.We encourage you to check out the full message if you missed it and take the next step in your faith journey. Don't forget, next week we'll be joined by John Burke! If you're in the DFW area, make sure to attend in person, or watch online. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll see you next week!

What happens when we die? John Burke has studied near-death experiences for the past three decades, and what he found transformed him from an agnostic engineer to a pastor. The stories of those who have clinically died but come back to life, he says, point to the “reality of heaven and hell” and the overwhelming love of the God of the Bible who has kept his promises to Abraham and continues to keep his promises today. In a touching conversation about redemption and atonement, Glenn and John discuss afterlife “life reviews” and how we voluntarily lock ourselves in hell when we don't forgive ourselves. Glenn shares a vivid dream that helped him understand the light of God, and John details the incredible story of how a descendant of Muhammad came to faith in Jesus. In the end, the pair agree that even though we live in an “evil and broken world,” what matters most to God is “how we treat one another.” Sponsors Relief Factor Relief Factor can help you live pain-free!
