In this eye-opening video, I sit down with John Burke, a researcher who has interviewed over 1,500 people who have had near-death experiences (NDEs). John’s extensive research reveals compelling evidence that the soul exists and that there is life after death. These NDE stories aren’t just hallucinations—they offer real, verifiable details about what happens when we die.
John shares what initially sparked his interest in NDEs and how these experiences defy common skeptics’ explanations. He also tells extraordinary stories, such as a blind person’s first experience of sight in heaven and a woman’s journey to heaven during brain surgery. One of the most striking discoveries is that people from all over the world, regardless of culture or background, describe encountering the same God, experiencing unconditional love, and reviewing their lives.
Additionally, John reveals how people who have had NDEs experience time in heaven as multidimensional, challenging our understanding of time on Earth. This conversation is a powerful affirmation that we all have a soul and that death is not the end. It offers profound insights into what awaits us on the other side and how our lives are eternally connected to God.
If you’ve ever wondered about the reality of the afterlife or the existence of the soul, this video is for you.

This idea of being, in a way, outside of heaven, like heavens foyer, where you still have a choice, reminds me of the book by CS Lewis, The Great Divorce.
This was a fantastic video! I will definitely be heading to pick up John's book!
Jesus’ main message was about the kingdom of God/Heaven. He knew about this other world. And he was telling us to search for it.
Thank you for this discussion. I stayed with my mom in her last months. After months of exhaustion caring her for, I needed a full night of sleep. In the late night, I awoke and "felt" compelled to move into the next room and check on my mom. I held her in my arms as I heard/felt her spirit leave…a literal sound of departure…and I cried…"Good-bye."
Yes, there is a world beyond. I am at peace today. My life, my husband, my children, my friends…I pray constantly for God's entry into their worlds, an invitation from God for them to be a part of God and Christ.
What a great conversation to listen to! Thumbs up!
The exp. Is lost with all your religious jibberious
Praise God! One Savior…Jesus! 🙏❤️✝️🎁
No one really knows what happens after you die and I'm going to delete this because it's a bunch of hoo-ha
8:57 Jesus most important commandment was that the last he gave love their neighbour as I have loved you
11:01 but then how would an Isis commander die, and be forgiven face to face with Christ who he never knew?!
12:35 Jim caveizels story of this was brilliant!
36:09 we all get a life review. The happening. Look it up. ❤
Matthew. 37:08 what you do for the least of these brethren you do also unto me.
Been reading John Burke’s book Imagine Heaven and following his talks. Finally he made it here! Waiting for the 2nd interview 🙂🙏🏽
Jesus Christ is King. Repent and accept him as your Lord and savior. If you haven’t, get baptized in the name of The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
You have a 400 trillion to one chance of being born. Why did I have that luck when I struggled to win on a 20% chance scratchcard? I think you return to earth.
Scratchcard I meant
"Singing for All Lives
The 5,000 years of civilization lead back to Heaven
So brilliant its splendor, divinities sigh in admiration
Antiquity’s wisdom was a path laid down by the Divine
While modern ways and thought follow the Devil’s lead
Atheism and evolution are doctrines of poison
A people without tradition are like a lakebed barren
Most lives on this earth were once divine, before
incarnating here in anticipation of the Creator
Return to Heaven and you shall find true bliss
Our limbs move in dance as we offer deliverance
Each note of our instruments carries compassion
May this song fulfill the Creator’s wish to bring salvation

This is all nonsense. I had a nde experience and is all a chemical reaction in the brain. Religion is a cult and has indoctrinated people to the extent that they believe this nonsense. Jesus may have existed but he was not the son of any god. People are afraid of the finality of death and need something to fall back on. Look at the state of the world because of religion. If there was no religion none of these problem would exist.
Chris You need to open polish edition of Your channel for the polish catholics. You have great content!
this is absolutely fascinating. praise God
I had an amazing NDE when I was 10 years old, following a near fatal car accident. There was so much to the experience, but I was given the knowledge that I would have multiple choices of when I finally cross. If I chose the later (I would be older) date, my life would be significantly more difficult. It most definitely has been due to all my injuries, but that experience gets me through each day because I live with moderate to severe chronic pain every moment of every day. Every day, I think of that NDE and it helps me get through the difficulties of each moment of every single day.
I feel so incredibly blessed to have had my NDE when I was 10.
So All of us we can be wrong – JUST YOU – YOU never consider that you can be wrong ?
Aside from not existing through consciousness, the one thing I cannot fathom is why life would be created for us to simply not exist afterwards. Now, if you think about that, it makes absolutely no sense. Life is probably the most unique and special thing about the Cosmos, and it was created for a reason.
How wonderful God is? Children suffering and dying. Good people dying. There is war in this world all the time somewhere.He’s very “good” that he can’t save children!!! He doesn’t exist!!!!!!
People have to believe in something, its easy the way. God doesn’t exist never did. There is no life after death. That is story made up, so it’s makes easy to accept that we all die, after short life, for the most of people, suffering life!!!!! Nothing exists, just er live and die!
How do I sign up for the newsletter? Thank you so much!
9:07 what the fk.
Oh for god sake give it a bloody rest with this bloody god dam jesus jesus jesus jesus jesus jesus jesus lies keep crediting jesus before god it is lies lies lies lies lies lies lies people was dieing long before jesus was born and people was going back to the after life hundreds of years before jesus was born so stop the lies lies lies lies lies lies lies credit jesus before god it is all wrong and very bad god him self is before jesus he is no god before god himself and jesus knows that to well on behalf of god and your lieing using jesus as a lie lie lie lie lie you dont know nothing true about the after life because you dont go there to witness it stop trying to play god with your lies and using playing jesus against god enough is enough
Its like before you were born u don't remember .same thing when u die that's it your gone u rot into the earth
There is nuttin after u die
I was dead for 9 minutes from a fentanyl overdose in 2019 I do recall leaving my body and watching myself on the floor from a far
The minute they bring up Christ I know this is not real. After life can just be about Christian there are many other religions and people to follow
Guess what dude you don't really know you're just saying that you know nobody knows
And the people with near-death experiences are people that have died and come back maybe they're telling the truth and maybe they're not maybe they were just dreaming we don't really know and they don't really know
Thank you for this makes so much sense of what I experience. Amen
Great discussion, and I love the wonder on Chris' face as his guest speaks. Love it all. Love Jesus.
"Love your neighbor as yourself" also means all member of God's creation, not merely human beings. St. Francis of Assisi is one who understood that better than nearly anyone. Have a look at him.
I've been listening to you on Hallow since March 4th as part of my routine. I am just now seeing your face. That is always odd. You look great, but not what I imagined for some reason. Lol THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEVOTIONALS! They helped me reunite with God at a crucial point in my life. I'm glad I found you on here now.
Interviewd 1500 nde? How many years was befire he got to that number?
Tried to share my afterlife experience but it keeps deleting it.
Do you have the full interview?
And hindhus and Buddhist and Muslims and native Americans all think that NDEs are proof that their specific religions are true too
Hey I known im lat, but so i ran across this thing online about we are in a simuation does anyone have phyical prooff that we are not or even other proof?
God, why is this only about Christianity. All across the world people go through near death experiences who are from different religions. There is only one god. You feel the faith no matter what religion you come from— everybody has access to god or divinity.
When people feel god, they just god. It is not related to one specific religion.
I hope people find that beautiful divinity. ❤
I don’t have a Crazy real story but……………….. I have been to Prison about 11 or 12 times and County Jail about the Same. Juvenile Hall starting from 12,years old. I’m a Whiteboy that moved to San Bernardino in 1979. It was an all black neighborhood…. But some of them Black folks were Beautiful people and they were kind and very nice to me although this was about 12 years after LA racial riots. “Me” although a Whiteboy had done a Book report on Harriet Tubman called the Runaway Slave…….. and I Loved that Book because I’ve always got slapped around by my Mom’s family for apparently not behaving………. Although I felt that I was a nice person and I felt a lil picked on. So when we moved to San Bernardino in 1979 ……… are 1st Christmas away from the house…. We came home to the Front Door being open about 8 inches and everything worth of Valuable gone! Anyway I don’t know where I inherited this figure of speech exactly but “When in Rome….. Do as the Romans do..!!!” Became my words to Live by. Thus leading me to the life time of crime I have already iterated…………. And it didn’t help when I got outta Placement in 1987 or 88 …….? And my Best Friend who was an office clerk in High School was now a Heroin attic. Now I’m 58 years old and he’s still alive and on Methadone and his older brother is on Fentanyl. But outta all the scandalous people where I Lived……. To this Day I don’t think they’ve ever stolen from me..!!! Anyway to make a Long Story Short………. When I got out in 2006…. From Prison…. I went out that way for a Minute but ended up in getting a Beautiful Girl I met on Line pregnant and my Son is almost 18 today but doesn’t really care about me enough to even call me. But Long Story short.. I met a Girl in Home Depot selling air conditioning units…? And she was American as Apple Pie but came from Guatemala at the age of “4” anyway she had never been in Jail or Trouble in her life……. But after living with me while I grew Marijuana “even before it was Legal” and I finally got enough Antique’s and Money to open an Antique store and to my dismay after 17 years of being off of Heroin someone begged me for a ride to Santa Ana to go pick up Heroin for him..!!! This may I inform you was the 2nd time that exact same thing happened…… but before, I was Living in a Youth Hostel for children and Grown up’s and one of the employees begged me to score for her! And about 2 1/2 years later….. I was in Prison again after 8 years of being off Heroin!
True Story, but doesn’t end there…….. so I got on Heroin after being clean for 17 and 1/2 years and not only was I back on, but was becoming one of the biggest Dealers in my Area and got back on Methadone about 15 more times during the 8 years I was on Heroin this time and faced with a New Drug “That I didn’t Like or even want to sell to others…” because of it’s ugliness in how it made me feel…. because they’re starting to put it in ALL the Heroin these Days. Anyway I was Sad about people starting to Die from Fentanyl and I didn’t want to ever be the Messenger of Death and Pain so I started Praying to God and Jesus.. and begging them to Help me get off Heroin, And said that I would do good if they did!……… and woke up in the Hospital after being in a Coma for 2weeks 6 days………. and I didn’t have any outta body experience or hear the Almighty or Jesus saying anything to me…….. but the 1st statement when I could speak was “I think that I’m a Christian now!!!” And people were looking at me Crazy and saying “ok……. Good!” But somehow were equating it to my ol Lady putting her hands on my Head and Praying or my X who I had a Baby with putting Her hands on my head praying….. I think the over all opinion was that hearing them praying while I was in a Coma sort of Brain washed me “so to speak!!!” But between me and “WhoEver’s” reading this!!! ……… I felt absolutely fine the night before my Coma when I started praying!……. But was just Sad because I had saved about 24 lives with “Mouth to Mouth” and Narcan…… and then someone had called me and told me that her boyfriend died from Fentanyl the day before…….. and she was such a nice and sweet girl……. and I just felt sSOo bad and Sad for her, that I started praying and begging Jesus and my Heavenly Father to please forgive me! With tears streaming out my eyes and was on my Hands and knees outside on the dirt and then went to my Bed crying and praying and begging Jesus and the Almighty to please forgive me for selling and spreading this ugliness to the World.
And like I said woke up in the Hospital 2 weeks 6 days later……….. but I also remember waking up the next morning and seeing the beautiful cat that befriended me and he looked like he was panicking as he looked at my face…… and was scared and kept meowing but looked a lil afraid….. and everyone said I was pounding my Chest and looked like I had OD’d …….. but I wasn’t even feeling high when I went to Bed praying! And to cut it short……… I been a Serious Christian ever since, and to top it off…! My ol Lady who I been with for about 18 years……… she’s in Jail for Heroin…. and “Swears” she’s a Christian now! And I don’t really know what’s gonna happen but I do Love her and feel like she’s the only thing in the World that I truly want to own and be with…… and when I say own…. I don’t mean it like that….. I just want her to be my Girl and Love me the way I Love her!
I just lost my dad on the 10th of Jan and death is still my biggest fear but this helps a little…I also fear losing my memories but people more or less saying they held onto them or they were reminded and everything comes back gives me a bit of peace
I keep thinking if Jesus had his memories after rising again why wouldn’t we and why would He let us live just to have us forget everything?
I don't believe you can explain a hallucination off of acid or mushrooms unless you have used them in the past
Absolutely wonderful, uplifting & joyful episode. Thank you so very much 🙏🏽
