    Near Death Experience Story | NDE | Heaven | God | Imagine Heaven | John Burke

    When Dr. Colin Perry suffered a massive heart attack, he died—and encountered Jesus. But what Jesus showed him raised one of the biggest questions Christians have wrestled with for centuries: If God already knows the future, do we actually have free will?

    During his near-death experience, Colin says he was shown the future—but also understood that what lay ahead still contained possibilities.

    God knew what would happen, yet human choices remained real. How can both be true?

    In this episode of the Imagine Heaven Podcast, John Burke sits down with Dr. Colin Perry, author of Dying to Be Alive, to explore his extraordinary encounter with Jesus, what he experienced beyond this life, and the mysterious relationship between God’s foreknowledge, our future, and human free will.

    Is your future already determined?
    Can our choices actually change what happens?
    And how can God know the end from the beginning while still allowing us to freely choose?

    Watch the full conversation as Colin shares what his near-death experience revealed about Jesus, heaven, the future, free will, and the nature of God.

    Blind from birth, Brad Barrows stopped breathing for 4 minutes during a near death experience at just 8 years old. During his NDE, he described heaven with details shockingly similar to what sighted people around the world report seeing — despite never having seen anything on earth himself.

    But there was one experience in heaven that stayed with him more than anything else. Brad encountered something so beautiful, powerful, and deeply moving that it awakened a passion inside him years before he would ever pursue it on earth.

    Later in life, Brad fell into a deep depression and reached the point of wanting to end his life. But in his darkest moment, the memory of what he experienced in heaven — and the passion it ignited in him as a child — came rushing back and ultimately saved him.

    In this emotional conversation with John Burke, Brad shares the breathtaking details of his near death experience, the uncanny similarities between his account and those of sighted people, and the heavenly encounter that changed the course of his life forever.

  • Non-Speaking Autistic Kids Are Reporting NDE-Like Visits to Heaven…Without Dying!?

    Non-Speaking Autistic Kids Are Reporting NDE-Like Visits to Heaven…Without Dying!?
    2026/04/02
    What if non-speaking autistic individuals aren’t “trapped”… but experiencing something far beyond what we can see?

    Pastor Joe Infranco joins John Burke to reveal stunning parallels between Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) and what autistic non-speakers are now communicating through spelling.

    These individuals—once thought unable to express themselves—are describing encounters with the same realities reported in Imagine Heaven:
    • A “mysterious hill” - Encounters with spiritual beings
    • Overwhelming peace, love, and clarity
    • Verifiable details that raise serious questions
    Why are their accounts so consistent with NDEs… even though they’ve never died? Is this a deeper level of spiritual awareness?
    Or a hidden truth we’re just beginning to understand?

    This conversation also builds on ideas explored in the viral The Telepathy Tapes—but introduces a perspective many believe has been overlooked.
