Children who have near-death experiences make for unusually strong evidence and almost nobody has studied them. In this conversation, near-death experience researcher Dr. Steve Miller returns to walk through what we actually know about children and NDEs. We get into the case from Dr. Melvin Morse’s peer-reviewed work (the drowned girl who came back describing exactly what her family was wearing and doing at home), the documented patterns from Dr. Elizabeth Kübler-Ross’s cross-cultural research, the children Dr. Diane Komp watched die at Yale that turned her from atheism to faith, and a few accounts from Steve’s own circle of people he knows and trusts.

Children's experiences! The most valuable. Once I see them age 20'something and up that "just had an experience", I'm very weary. Gabe Poirot for example. I don't know if I believe him. But children experiences are all too pure and consistent.
31:06 i studied Elizabeth Kubler-Ross back in the year 2000. I was 14, and always fascinated with NDE's and death. She gave no hint whatsoever at being religious, and it made me have an empty feeling in my stomach. I was raised Catholic, and I still am. Two decades went by, and I finally realized she did speak with people about these experiences. She became very 'Spiritual', but not of any denomination.
35:40 That's something a guy that goes by the name "Evil Xtianity" here on YouTube could benefit from. He has a hard time, like many with "Why would God do that to children"
We are outside of our body and we can talk to those in Heaven and see inside Heaven before becoming alive again. I was not in Heaven. I was at a bright light wall. I spoke and received an answer and was allowed to come back. Based on my understanding of Scripture, only Jesus can actually go from Heaven to become a physical earthly body and back to Heaven. Once we cross over, we can not come back. We can see into Heaven, but we do not enter Heaven at that time.
The “evolution” explanation is ridiculous. The whole thing about evolution is that it’s what enables organisms to survive and breed that gets passed on to subsequent generations. So how can a NDE experienced by a dying child enable more successful reproduction? There is no benefit they can pass on to another generation, even if it is a benefit.
Curious in any of these accounts when kids are out of their bodies if they
tell of any unusual and funny stories of seeing family where they say something like
'I saw my brother taking a shower" or "Dad was using the toilet"
Fascinating broadcast. Thank you.
Have you ever considered that these near death experiences are satanic
Shortly before my father-in-law died, he kept looking up at the corner of the room and talked about two family members who had passed away years before. "Can't you see them? Don't you see the wagon?" It was very real to him, so we believed that family members were driving toward him, coming to pick him up. That was years ago, but we still talk about how excited he was to see them coming for him.
"Why wouldn't God save the child?" The child doesn't need saving. First of all, everyone dies one way or another al all ages, including the age of zero inutero. Secondly, heaven is our home. Our time on earth is temporary. We all go back where we came from.
I am 94 , I clearly remember when I was 11 I had pneumonia. My mother nursed me, wouldn’t let me go to hospital. I remember being really ill and semi conscious, I floated up above my bed and being up above the ceiling , it felt extremely comfortable, the pain of my pleurisy was gone and I then heard friendly voices,they sounded very excited and appeared to be happy that I was joining them. They were excited about me ,I didn’t see any people ,only heard them. I clearly thought that I was dying and being surprised at how beautiful it was, I was truly exhilarated.
Then my mother came into the room and I was back in the bed, really disappointed at being brought back.
I said “Mum it is so soft and comfortable and beautiful up there” , she asked where, I said above the ceiling.
She said “Oh you are just delirious “. I didn’t mention it again.
This has comforted me about dying all my life, I am not scared about death, I know it is a great exhilarating experience. I am a Christian by the way .
I was a nurse and worked on a cardiac unit ward. On a nightshift one evening (there were 6 patients in a bay) And I was doing my round getting everyone settled before lights went out, when the woman in Bed 3 said ‘oh my goodness I just saw my mother at the bottom of the bed. The other patients were laughing and saying I think you must have been on the vodka tonight, and she too laughed.
By the time I got to bed 5 she suddenly had a cardiac arrest, we done CPR on her until the crash team arrived, but she passed, we couldn’t save her. Perhaps her mother really did come for her.
Why are you so fixated on Spiderman? You could have a Christian t-shirt instead. It looks like a demon on you chest.
I don't trust people in my church, on one hand, they're too closed minded and on the other hand they don't think lgbt is sin, so I don't have someone to approach or to discuss atypical subjects like these.
Manifesting never worked for me and I felt genuinely crap about it. Watched everyone else talk about it like it was second nature while I just sat there feeling broken. Took Vera Hart's quiz purely out of desperation, honestly didn't expect anything. Matched me exactly. Like, uncomfortably exact. Didn't see that coming at all. If you've been beating yourself up over this too, just try it. Costs you two minutes. ❤️
For most of my life I searched for the right way to manifest, without success. Then I came across Vera Hart's archetype quiz. Out of curiosity I filled it in, and the result hit the core of who I am. I've approached things very differently ever since. A recommendation for anyone who feels stuck.
My inlaws passed. My kids later told me things that were said by each parent that let me know its true. The soul can leave the body and remain here for a short time. They communicated with each other although they were in separate hospital rooms and 1 didn't know the other was there in that hospital. Its a long story but it happened with both of them and it brings me great comfort.
My second cousin once removed had a nde as a 7 yo in South Africa. His dad died instantly in the accident- a truck lost its wheel and it went through their windscreen. Total freak accident. He saw his dad in heaven and was told that Jesus would now look after their little family. He saw these things while his eyes were bleeding from glass in them and he couldn't physically see.
When my mother was a young teen she had a near-death experience, seeing her deceased grandmother who told he she would be welcomed later but it wasn't yet her time to die; half a century later she lay in an ECU bed dying of cancer & the night before her death, asked me who the smiling people she saw above her bed in a semi-circle when it was quiet at night: I have no doubt it was the heavenly host cheering her on to finish her good race! That thought has comforted me through my own subsequent decades…
God is merciful to give us so much evidence of His love for us. Thank you for these thought provoking conversations.
My sister died of cancer at just 4 years old. About a year before she passed, she’d tell mom often that she shouldn’t worry because she was going to see God and God would make her well. She had no fear, she knew that God loved her and she loved God. When she died she had a faint smile on her face. So some kids do know they’re going to die.
Love the interview.
But I’m finding it hard to listen because the guest is talking about something and then the narrator interjects and throws my brain off track
A friend of mine’s father-in-law, who was a very godly Christian, had some interesting deathbed experiences in his final hours. With the family gathered around his hospital bed, my friend recounts how his father-in-law kept talking about the lady dressed in white on the third floor. (However, there were only two floors and he was on the second floor.) He described seeing things no one else could see and made comments like, “wonderful, oh, how precious!” even though at this point he was blind. In his final moments he declared, “I want to see my precious Jesus,” as if someone had asked whether he wanted to come back or go ahead. Then he sat up, looked at those gathered around him, waved and said, “Good-bye earth people” as he passed into eternity.
Way too chatty., thus boring.
YouTube is flooded with AI generated NDEs that are often tailored to one worldview or another
When I was in Omaha I had an elder who told about going to heaven as a child and as he sat on Jesus lap chatting Jesus asked if he wanted to stay with him or go back to his mother. He said he wanted to go back to his mother. And came back. He was black and had meningitis and those children had been the first to receive an experimental treatment.
My grandfather had Alzheimer’s in the 1980s and had progressed to a near catatonic state. He didn’t recognize anyone and had no apparent awareness of reality. One time, we led him to a small visitor’s room in the care home he was in, and guided him to sit in a chair. He sat motionless, staring straight ahead. I remember being afraid of him, as I was only about 8 years old. Then my mother sat at an old upright piano in the room and began playing old hymns. It was as though something unlocked in my grandfather, and he began singing the words, correctly. I will never forget it. I never saw him lucid again.
This was the right guy to interview
I recently met a nurse who had worked on childrens wards, she told me that the children became friends, and if one died, the remaining children would see them and would talk to them
Thank you for this. Lost my sweet nephews,( so young) 2 of my best friends and now my mom. I am thankful they knew our Lord Jesus. But to have even more comfort from the children to explain what it is like.
The oceans prove that God exists. Everything at the bottom of the ocean would be dust but rocks are found there. If the oceans were 4.5 billion years old, erosion would have turned everything to dust.
Obviously it does not prove it because we have to keep our axioms in place whether they are true or not. Axioms in this sense are underlying beliefs about the way things are. We are indeed a bigoted to have faith if we can’t test and find out what is true. Hell and demons have been talked about in the major religions. Would you not be willing to find out the truth to escape them?
The biological life on this planet would have to come into being at one time or simultaneously because of one part of organism interdependence on another.
The big bang couldn’t have happened. Sense when did an explosion create order.
God exists and His Son Jesus exists. And They are the only ones who came cause you to be saved from hell and the demons. Do this one thing for me and you. Ask the Lord Jesus Christ to save you from hell and the demons and see what happens. Countless experiments have been done. Jesus said what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul. Jesus is Lord and anyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Jesus is the Son of God who came in the flesh through a virgin woman named Mary. It is not too hard for God to have a Son because God created all the DNA. Even plants can be male and female. Jesus was crucified and died so that we could be saved. Jesus is righteous and innocent and His Blood was shed so that we could be forgiven. His Body was placed in a tomb. On the third day God raised Jesus to Life. Jesus will never die again. The way people don’t get saved is by not being saved. A lot of people saw Jesus after He was resurrected back to life.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that anyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. Read the New Testament of the Bible to find out more about Jesus.
For natural selection to work the presence of survival traits have to already be programmed into the DNA. Mutation does not work.
In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth and the Waters and everything in them.
Is there a list of the books he recommended? I guess I can re listen to it and make a list. It would be helpful to have a list in the show notes.
WHAT WE LEARNH IS THAT YOU ARE A LIAR , NEAR DEATH EXÊRIENCE ARE ALL THE SAME AND FAKE. NONE OF THESE PEOPLE DIED. WHAT IS THE TITLE: NEAR, DEATH ,EXPERIENCE. SO YOU NEVER WENT ANYWHERE AND I COULD PROVEIT WITH 3 SCRIPTURES BUT YOUR NOT WORTH IT.
I would like to give kudos, but the Guest takes forever to even tell one NDE experience! Skip to the middle and you might hear one
A few weeks after my 18 year old son died in a plane crash, I had what I would call a demonic harrassment and then God intervened. I was downstairs working in my office. On the wall to my right hung a picture of a sailboat being tossed in stormy waves. My son loved that picture. I gazed at it and began thinking about my son and how grateful I was that he loved Jesus. Suddenly, the waves in the picture started tossing the boat and I realized the boat was abandoned and darkness was around it. There came to me a voice in my head that yes my son was dead and he was in hell. I started screaming no and yanked the picture off the wall and ran outside and threw it on the ground and stomped on the frame, breaking it up, all the while crying and screaming at it that my son was in heaven. My youngest son, nearly 16 came and gently guided me upstairs to my bedroom and said read you bible mom. My bible wasn't in the room but my journal was and I got on my knees and began writing, God help me. I felt like soneone was sitting on my chest and I was going to die. Suddenly, God brought to memory the scripture in Ps 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. I spoke it and a light broke through the darkness thst threatened to overwhelm and the heaviness lifted as well as the thoughts.
Not too many days after that, I had a very real dream where that son came and sat down next to me at church, smiling and he said Mom. I put my hand on his back, like a mother would and he was solidly there. Then he was gone. Both so real, I will never forget.
Hello, it would be great if the studies mentioned in these videos would be linked in the description so people could see for themselves that he's definitely not making things up
If I have to invent something, I will want people to know, I invented it and how it works. God did the same, didn't want to leave us guessing. And gave us manual to it.
We going to our creator, people who don't want to go, saying they believe in themselves as the thing. Will leave them behind. Unfortunately everything belongs to God.
What is odd to me on the little girl story is that if she was being resuscitated at the hospital, why was her mother cooking at home instead of being at the hospital with her. The last thing a mom would do in a situation like this would be to stay home cooking. Maybe I missed something?
What can we learn about the afterlife? That its permanent and you dont wanna go there without not having faith in Christ alone. Wake up people.
Before my grandmother passed she had told me that just before my grandfather passed he was in bed asleep and said clearly “brownie”! That was the name of his childhood dog. ❤
