After a horrific accident changed everything, Jeff Olsen experienced a near-death experience that would completely reshape his understanding of life, death, God, love, and loss.

For years, Jeff couldn't even speak about parts of what happened without becoming overwhelmed with emotion. In this conversation, he shares deeply personal moments from his experience, including encounters with his wife and young son, what he says God revealed to him, and an extraordinary experience involving members of his medical team.

But this episode is about so much more than what happens when we die. It’s about how we choose to live.

If you're walking through grief, questioning God, carrying guilt, or simply wondering what really matters in this life, I hope Jeff’s story brings you hope.
