What is Jesus really like? Is heaven real? Can you actually hear God's voice?

After sharing his near-death experience with millions, Mike McKinsey returns to the Peaceful Presence Podcast to share the part of his story he kept private for more than 20 years. Mike describes what happened after he returned from heaven, when he says Jesus came to his hospital room, sat beside his bed for three hours, and changed the course of his life.

In this conversation, Mike shares what Jesus taught him during those three hours and how it changed the way he prays, hears God's voice, trusts God through difficult seasons, and sees heaven.
