I AM FASCINATED BY NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES Because in my mind they are the closest thing we have to proof of the afterlife. Today, I've got Jeffrey Long on the show. Jeffrey Long is a medical doctor specializing in the practice of radiation oncology, using radiation to treat cancer. As a scientist, Jeff founded NDERF in 1998. He wanted to know if NDEs were real by directly asking the NDErs themselves. The answer is a resounding YES! As a result of his research, he is the author of the New York Times best seller, "Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences." He also wrote "God and the Afterlife: The Groundbreaking New Evidence for God and Near-Death Experience." Find out more about his organization and read the story from NDErs yourself by clicking here. He joins me at 1pm to talk about it.

EVEN MORE about this episode!In this episode, Jody Long shares her extraordinary journey from practicing law to researching near-death experiences (NDEs) and paranormal phenomena. Inspired by a childhood supernatural encounter, her life took a pivotal turn when she met her husband, Jeffrey Long, a leading NDE expert. Together, they have dedicated themselves to exploring the afterlife.Jody discusses the rigorous methodologies used to analyze NDE stories, including tools like the Grayson Scale, and the challenges in identifying the moment of death. She also explores how cultural and regional differences in America influence spiritual beliefs and NDEs, drawing on traditions from places like Washington, Louisiana, and Navajo communities. The episode concludes with reflections on the universal themes of love and knowledge that emerge from NDEs, transcending cultural boundaries.Guest Biography:Jody Long is a retired attorney, formerly licensed in Washington, New Mexico, Louisiana, and the Navajo Nation. For over 20 years, Jody has been the webmaster for the Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF), where she supports NDErs and individuals seeking knowledge about the afterlife.

„Was ist ein Einbruch in eine Bank gegen die Gründung einer Bank“, ließ Bertolt Brecht einen seiner Protagonisten in der „Dreigroschenoper“ sagen und wollte damit schon vor über 90 Jahren suggerieren, wie viel Geld man mit Banking machen kann. In dieser Samstagsfolge zeigt unser Gast, dass es doch nicht ganz so einfach ist. Er hat vor mehr als elf Jahren mit N26 eine digitale Bank gegründet und wollte mit 100 Mio. Kunden zum AirBnB des Privatkundenbanking werden. Inzwischen sind die Pläne etwas kleiner geworden, in diesem Jahr will er mit gut vier Millionen ertragsrelevanten Kunden zumindest profitabel werden. Hierzulande bekam seine Bank von der Finanzaufsicht BaFin eine Wachstumsbeschränkung auferlegt. Die ist seit Sommer aufgehoben und nun will er wieder angreifen. Nicht nur die Sparkassen, sondern auch Neobroker wie Trade Republic oder Scalable. Denn er ist überzeugt davon, dass die Kunden langfristig nur eine Finanzen-App haben wollen, mit der sie ihre gesamten Geld- und Anlagegeschäfte machen. Er erklärt, wie man Betrüger erkennt, er verrät, dass Banking noch einfacher wird und er verspricht, dass man bei ihm immer einen Menschen im Kundenservice bekommt.

This week I'm reading from Robert Christopher Coppes' book 'Impressions of Near-Death Experiences: Quotations From Over 100 Experiencers'.This book gives an impression of what near-death experiences (NDEs) are like by giving many hundreds of quotes from more than 100 experiencers from all over the world. Put your “traditional” ideas aside, and read the quotes. Sense how they feel for you. Let go of whatever ways you have been programmed by your upbringing or by religion, and open your mind to receive whatever wisdom you find in these testimonies of people who have experienced the first moments of physical death. Bio:Robert Christophor Coppes has studied Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) for decades and has lectured on this topic in the US and Europe. He considers his new book “Impressions of Near-Death Experiences” his best book on NDEs because of the wealth of quotes from experiencers, in his opinion the best tutors in life. By sharing multiple quotes from NDErs, he can offer information as to what NDEs are. The quotes are categorized under a broad spectrum of major headings, including: Out of the Body, Veridical Observations (i.e. verifiable out-of-body observations), Unconditional Love, the Life Review, Distressing NDEs, Why Are We on Earth?, and Aftereffects. The principal idea that emerges is that "We are ONE and LOVE binds us". Previous books on NDEs are “Essence of Religions” in which he compares the five major religions with NDEs, and “Messages from the Light”.

Vi tror Den Hellige Ånd er en viktig del av menighetslivet og livet til den enkelte. Han skal gi oss kraft (Apg. 1,8), lære oss alt og minne oss om Jesus og hans lære. (Joh. 14,26) I denne taleserien ønsker vi å snakke om hvorfor vi trenger Den Hellige Ånd, hvordan vi slipper han til og hva som kan skje hvis vi gjør det.

The most listened-to guest in the history of The Aggressive Life, John Burke, returns to share new insights and research from his lifetime of studying near-death experiences. This time, he's focusing on what near-death experiences can teach us about God—what He is like, what He values, and what He expects of us. After interviewing thousands of NDErs, John discovered incredible similarities in their stories, despite these people coming from all walks of life, backgrounds, and countries around the world. The stories John shares will give you hope, paint God in a new light, and just might change the way you think about the afterlife.  If you haven't yet, check out Brian's first conversation with John, “What Happens When We Die?” at the following links: Apple or Spotify.

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.”
