I remember believing the Bible was boring, but I had never read it. Now, no matter what, I’m finding something new or interesting everytime I read from it
Glad you're back walking with the Lord my friend 🧡 At around 44:30 that laughing when told about getting stoned to death is a little too demonic for my liking! Does anyone else feel the same?
I was sent to that place where the black is blacker than anyone could ever possibly imagine. There are no words to describe the intensity of the horror, the pain, the suffering, the depression, the feeling of absolute hopelessness, and worst of all the absence of God. It was a bottomless black void filled with screams of torture, and I knew there was no escape from it, it was eternal. I was falling deeper and deeper into it and screaming in agony and terror. It felt like burning hot razor sharp claws trying to pull me down when suddenly, I came out of it and was screaming in terror and lying on the floor of my friends house. He was freaked out, and pale as a ghost. He'd heard me screaming from downstairs and later told me he thought I was being m*rdered. He ran up to see what was happening but I was in the band room with the door closed. I was in there alone but he said he couldn't open the door even thought he tried with all of his strength. When he finally got in I was writhing around on the floor and screaming and crying hysterically. I truly believe I had died and was being sent to the place I had earned. I was a terrible person back then, and I hated God. I blamed Him for all of my problems. It brings me to tears to even type this today, because I am filthy rags, a vile sinner, and undeserving of a single blessing from God. I am unworthy to even speak His name. But He has worked a miracle in me and blessed me with eyes to see and ears to hear the Truth. I was once prideful, but now I am now a humble servant of the Lord. Praise and glory be to Him!
I was a full blown militant atheist with a muslim background and long story short, one night hundreds of demons came and tried to abduct me (i thought it was alien abduction) and something in my spirit (holy spirit) made me cry out to Jesus and all the demons left and I saw Jesus and I was instantly converted to Christianity. ALL GLORY BE TO JESUS CHRIST!!!!
I had a dream of Jesus. In that dream I felt and saw all of this. He is so beautiful. He held me like a little child. He saved me from suicide. Praise His Name!
4 yrs ago I lost my father and it sent me on a journey to try to find answers to what death is. I started with NDEs. I watched 100s of them on RUclips. Everywhere I looked it seemed to mention Jesus in some capacity. So I finally started looking into the man we know as Jesus. Then I came across Lee Strobel “a case for Christ”. It answered a lot of my questions and after almost 4 years of looking into this life and death game we’re in, I’ve accepted Jesus as my lord and savior. God bless everyone on their journey 🙏
I couldn’t keep myself together when he said that Mary had said Jesus held her. My 3 yr old daughter said that Jesus rocked her in the big chair when she was in an induced coma while recovering from a bone marrow transplant from her identical twin sister. Upon waking up she constantly said she wanted to go back to be with Jesus. It broke our hearts but she did go home with him shortly after. She also had encounters with her Angel during the nights always laughing and talking to him as her sister was sound asleep. She said the angels name was Tommy and that he was tall as the ceiling with long white hair and big fluffy wings. How wonderful Heaven will be for us all.
Ive seen this happen to a patient of mine. Im a ER nurse in south Louisiana, I had a patient suddenly go into cardiac arrest. I called a code blue, we got her back for about 30 secs multiple times, each time she came back she was screaming in admiration, “praise God, OHH praise GOD!”… im an idiot, I was thinking she was grateful we got her back. After about an hour coding her she eventually didnt come back and died. It wasn’t until 3 days later that i realized she could not have known she coded or came back, she was talking to someone. And thats what it sounded like when she was speaking.. she was praising God in His presence. Im an honest man. That absolutely happened. That is in no way blown out of proportion or exaggerated.
@@wydopnthrtlread First Samuel 15. That’s not the Devine Creator. Kill men, women, children, infants etc..Constantine decided what books are in the Bible. Jesus brought love, but that’s been twisted too. By men and organized religion.
At your life review shawn, you're going to come back to this place and time and see how many thousands of people you touched with this podcast. It will be glorious. Christ is King.
Had open heart surgery the Doc had to put my brain on ice and recycle my blood thru a machine. The Doc forced me to die for 8 minutes to repair my heart. Well during that time I sat with our beautiful Lord in a temple high in the sky. I couldn’t see his face but I felt all the love in the world. Let me tell you all HEAVEN is REAL and so is Jesus. I was told to continue sending my love to all people. This was the 2nd most important moment in my life the 1st was giving birth to my 2 boys and during that process I felt CHRIST as well. Sending all my ❤love to every sole on this planet. Jennifer
My wife of 29 years passed away from cancer 7 weeks ago. 5 nights before she died, she said she thought my late parents were going to be there to greet her in heaven. The next night, she told me she had almost reached "the light" 2 nights prior. I asked her if that's why she mentioned my parents, and she said yes. My parents were in the light. I have always believed. This experience and this episode of the SRS have only strengthened my faith. Thank you.
I'm so sorry for your loss, and the journey you have been on. I know it must have been very sad and very difficult at times. I'm glad you have been given that gift, to know they are all in your future is a wonderful bit of sweetness in the midst of it all. Thank you for sharing, and hoping for brighter days ahead for you. 🫶
I'm so sorry... this is the most powerful interview I've ever heard... this will be my first book I've ever bought and read... this is what I'm asking for my father's day present .. I'm so glad this helped you in this difficult time
Losing a sibling is so very hard. I lost my oldest brother during an ibogaine treatment he went under in 201. I was told there is a possibility he was given a choice to stay there, or come back here. I hope you find serene moments sbd
So sorry to hear about your loss. I also lost my girlfriend and life partner last week. It’s a horrible empty lonely feeling. I pray for your comfort and peace in Christ.
My son died by suicide two years ago today and i have been constantly in pain believing God sent him to hell. This episode gave me great peace re-hearing God is compassionate, understanding and rescues those who cry out to him. I believe my son left this world in pain, being abused by others and that he knew what a loving father was (God I pray that I showed him that) enough to cry out for God. Thank you Shawn, this literally saved the rest of this life for me. Semper Fi.
God bless you brother! And, ty for your service. Being in a relationship with the Lord Jesus, you & your son will be together for eternity. The Father God wishes that none should perish. The Lord Jesus paid such a very dear price for our salvation. Glory to God!!!
@@keymind117 due to the number of times I have heard Pastors, Priests, and "scholars" state that suicide was the "unforgivable sin". after nearly 50 years of constant gaslighting by false prophets I was nearly convinced. that's the hardest thing about faith, not having a clearly defined path that isn't constantly being denied, or convoluted by people who seek to manipulate others.
@keymind117 catholics believe that you lose salvation when you commit mortal sin, until you confess. You can't confess if you do that, thus you lose your salvation. I'm not a catholic, I don't think you can lose salvation once you are truly saved. John 10:28 "I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand"
I’m 36 and have never used psychedelics but a few years ago I was seriously tempted to because I wanted to see if it could deepen my walk with God. But one morning during prayer the Lord pressed on me that I don’t need anything but a willing heart and my own voice lifted in prayer to experience Him. All of these mushrooms and plant concoctions cannot provide us with more than we receive through regular, heartfelt prayer with the Lord.
Amen. Did psychedelics in the 70s along with experimenting with eastern religions like " soul travel" . I was truly hungering for God and he delivered me from these things when I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Then he revealed himself to me through the Bible and I learned to hear his voice and know him, commune with him and feel his love.
@@madcat3337 have you ever gone away by yourself to the woods or even just sat in your car and spoken out loud to God in prayer? And have you ever told him everything? Because I can promise you that that experience does not disappoint. DMT is no doubt an experience but nobody knows quite what they’ve seen or what to do with it. Being sober minded and holding a conversation with the Creator of the Universe is a strange but certain thing.
Nov 20, 2003, I met Jesus face to face in a hospital. Nov 19, 2003, I went to the hospital because I knew something wasn't right when I gotten sick and couldn't go from one room to the next without feeling like I just ran 20 miles. The hospital kept me overnight thinking I had Hepatitis C. The next morning my health had went downhill so they took me by Ambulance to a hospital in Tulsa. The doctors thought I was losing my mind. They didn't know my heart was working at 20%. I became hestarical telling my mom to get me out, that death walked to my hospital room and pointed at me. That's when an evil spirit attacked me trying to take my life. I fought back. The doctors first put me in restraints and I broke out of those. Next 2 doctors, 2 helicopter pilots, and 4 nurses tried holding me down, they thought I was fighting them, they didn't know I was fighting the evil spirit. My heart stopped, the doctors began resuscitating me, they brought me back and that evil spirit kept trying and finally my heart stopped, shutting down my lungs, liver, and kidneys. Then the room filled with the brightest, purest, white light and that evil spirit shattered when Jesus and all His glory entered the room. He took me by the hand and said come. As I turned back to see my lifeless earthly body being revived by the doctors. The doctors put me on life support and told my parents to make funeral arrangements, I wouldn't live through the weekend. When I was with Jesus, His love, peace, and His Glory flowed through me, it was healing me. The peace and love that surpasses all understanding. I begged Him to stay but He said my work for Him isn't finished. He wasn't done with me. He sent me back and 3 days later I started waking up from my coma. The nursing staff, the doctors all said they witnessed a miracle from God because everything they were taught from their schooling said I shouldn't have lived through it. But what Jesus did for me on the cross said otherwise. He is the Great Physician, the author and finisher of my life. By His stripes we are healed and I wholeheartedly serve Him. 20 yrs later, I have no heart issues, no problems with my health. Jesus is tangible and very real, as for me and my household we will serve the Lord. I thank God for another year and I thank Jesus for my healing and salvation. I can't wait to see You again. He is I Am #LordYouleadIfollow
I had a NDE at age 22...I am nearing 65yrs old now, and my near death experience is THE MOST profound, amazing, beautiful and significant experience of my life! I came 'face to face' with God, and I still feel like it happened only a minute ago! I could write a thousand volumes on what happened..I don't know if it lasted a minute, a second or what, but it still affects me EVERY SINGLE DAY.
So I just listened to this episode and finished it last Wednesday. It really resonated with me. Side note: on Monday I prayed for God to show me who I need to serve this week, to put me in peoples lives that need me. I got a strong pull to visit my boyfriend’s grandparents. So after I finished the podcast on Wednesday, I went over there and told them about this episode and pulled it up on their RUclips for them to watch it. They were able to watch 3 of the 4 hours. Grandpa passed away today. He was 95, but there was no indication that he was dying this week. I truly think Jesus wanted him to have this message before he passed away. Thank you.
Thank you for having John on right now I’m going through the hardest time of my life watching my wife battle cancer and we found out the worst news a couple weeks ago and hearing this man speak on heaven and Jesus just gives me more hope than I had even as a believer I needed this
Hang in there man! I feel ya. Went thru similar about a year ago. This is the sort of pressure that turns coal into diamonds. I ain’t gonna blow smoke up your arse. You’ll never be the same. Trust the process. Keep the faith.
@seanengland1563 JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU MY BROTHER.. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP CAUSE THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL, MY SUGGESTION IS READ YOU BIBLE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND CONTINUE TO BUILD YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE OUR MESSIAH… ““Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way where I am going.”” - John 14:1-4
Ive been going to church for more than 10 years after I lost my only daughter (27). I was angry, sad and questioned God. A few years ago as I sat in my car crying, missing her, I felt an immense warmth, love and peace go through me! It was an amazing feeling that didnt last long, I didnt want it to stop, I will never forget that feeling. Now I have a morning chat with God, prayer time and quiet time. Having a personal relationship with God is important. Thank you for sharing this discussion. ❤
@@calmcdonaldp.i.2678We can confess to the Lord directly. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. ❤️✝️
My son died at 8-months-old of meningitis and it was the most devastating heartbreaking thing I've ever been through but this episode has made me look at it differently it has made me happy that he is in a place way better than this
God Bless You, I Had An NDE Back in 1997 And Went To Heaven And I Can Tell You Three Things That I Believe Will Help You. God And Jesus Are Real And They Love You And There Are Little Children In Heaven. Many Of The Children That I Seen Were Aborted Before Birth. I Had Never Heard Such Wonderful Laughter Till Then. You Can Be Confident That Your Child Is There. On The Flipside There Is Hell But Little Children Don't Go There, They Aren't At The Age Of Accountability To Sin Willfully. Jesus Loves You And I Hope That You Search Him Out And Ask Him To Reveal His Truth To You, He Will. God Bless You.
I hope you are doing okay. ❤ I'm thinking of you and praying for you. My daughter was 7 months when she passed (complications from spina bifida and hydrocephalus) I bet all of our babies are playing together. It's a beautiful vision.
My grandfather was completely blind by 40, he had a degenerative eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa (RP). When he was in his mid sixties, he had colon cancer and needed to have a large section of intestines removed. During the op, he died on the operating table. He was resuscitated, and when the op was done and he came to, he told the doctors how many were in the room during the time he had died and what tools they had been using on him. What was even more mind blowing was he saw my grandma and his kids in the waiting room. He was able to tell them what they were wearing down to the color of their jewelry (remember, he had been totally blind for over 20 years by then). 15 years later, he got pancreatic cancer and passed. That man died with boldness and courage. I will never forget his last Christmas. During the family prayer, he told everyone "I am dying, and it's okay. I know who I belong to, and I'm excited to be with Him. I will be able to see Him face to face". Still sends chills up my spine, my grandpa had a confidence in death that I've never seen since, you can't fake that type of confidence when faced with certain death.
Sir just curious are you a Christian, I'm 14 and am battling suicidall thoughts daily because im afraid of there being no heaven anyway i cant talk about this to my family but was hoping yall could help me anyway thank you for your time and im sorry for your loss
@@Justamanwidaplan yes, I am a Christian. What would compel you towards suicide? If you are hurting now, the hurt of facing God and answering for killing yourself would be greater. I'm not saying he would send you to hell, but when someone kills anyone, including themself, they have ended a life that didn't belong to them. Suicide is never the answer, I had many friends commit suicide through the years, and it never accomplished anything good for anyone. Just more pain all around.
@@Justamanwidaplan what would you accomplish by that? I can promise you, beyond a shadow of a doubt, God not only exists, but permeates every facet of life. The more you get to know God, the more you see His presence in every moment of life. Committing suicide isn't a gamble if God exists or not, I can promise you He does. I can say this both logically and experientially. Go to Him in prayer, calm your mind and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. The Bible says God "resists the proud but draws near to the humble". Humble yourself. You'd be surprised what God will do with your life.
Ah, but it's actually God working through Shawn. See, not every man could fill Shawn's shoes but Shawn couldn't do any of this without God. What a beautiful relationship. Edit; what I mean to say is God picked the right dude to reach a certain sort of person, powerful humans who have endured more than their share. This is touching millions of people. I've shared this with many loved ones and they are surely doing the same. God bless all.
I had a NDE when I was 27 years old. I had a severe asthma attack which caused a cardiac arrest. I watched over me in the ER as they worked on me. They intubated me and used the paddles. The ER doctors were talking to my mom, advising her I may not make it, asking what was our religious affiliation frantically. I remember feeling a euphoric peace as I watched, there was no pain only beauty was the best way I can describe it. I remember that I had pink shoes on or at Least I saw my pink shoes, and then I heard my son crying for me. That was it, I woke the next day in the ICU. For many years I didn't dare say what I had experienced because I didn't think anyone would believe it. My faith is solid, I am sure of the love of God. I may not be a perfect human on this Earth, but I know our God is real and the Lord is our Savior.
I watched this podcast when it came out, and then read the book. It made me realize I didn’t understand Christianity as much as I thought I did, and that it was worth some serious consideration. After serious consideration, months of serious consideration, I became a Christian. Our family found a church we love. It’s been a journey, but a journey that I can trace back to this podcast. When he said “I[Jesus] was always there, I was just waiting for you to turn to me.” It was like an arrow to the heart. Shawn Ryan and John Burke, thank you for spreading the light.
I used to get sleep paralysis all the time for about 15 years when I was doing and dealing things I shouldn’t be, and treating woman like objects. I would not be sleeping but not fully awake either but I could not move and it’s very scary it felt like there was something putting all it’s weight on me, there was something or some sort of darkness in the room with me. Things in my house would fall off the shelf and I could see shadows out of the corner of my eye all the time. Til one night I thought the world would be better off without me and out of nowhere I herd a voice say what about Jesus. So I gave my life to Christ that night and I never got sleep paralysis or saw the shadows again. I’m born again in the spirit and truth of Christ. I live a new life now. Thank you lord Jesus. 🙌
I had similar experience with sleep paralysis after having backslidden A dreadful wicked spirit entered my bedroom and I could feel its presence and wickedness. I was unable to move or speak but cried out to Jesus in my heart and spirit and it would lift off of me. I had several of these episodes while in active addiction but it went away through prayer and obedience
Hey @ShawnRyanShow, after 6 years of PTSD nightmares, I had my best sleep in years after watching this episode. It helped me put some things in my mind to rest. Thank you.
I had PTSD nightmares, I wasn’t in a war, but something happened that shocked me to my core when I was 21… for 7 years I’d cry during the day if I wasn’t numb, and dream over and over. When I learned of Jesus and started listening to proverbs and psalms aloud, the dreams stopped 🥹🕊️
Awesome! As a Pastor, I have always had a check in my spirit whenever I hear judgemental or condemning speech coming from Christians. Before my experience of God's all encompassing love, I had lived a pretty self serving and selfish life. I had a first career as a Law Enforcement Officer and when I told God of my need for forgiveness, he held up a long sheet of white paper with nothing printed upon it! He said to me, "This is your rap sheet!" I answered, "There is nothing on it?" He said, "That's correct. It has been taken care of! My Son took care of it for you." It was the most awesome moment of my life!
This is amazing I’m so glad John Burke is on a more widely viewed platform now. His work is so important. I’ve been following him since my own NDE in 2022 when I discovered myself that Jesus is real and he is God
My son sent me this interview. He was saved as a young boy, but in adulthood, he had big questions about God and eternity. THIS INTERVIEW radically grounded him in God Almighty. Thank you Shawn and John!
I don’t know how to explain this, but after listening to this podcast I felt a profound sense of relief and gratitude and I’ve accepted Jesus Christ back into my life and I’m beginning a new journey in sobriety once and for all after 27 years of agonizing dependence and endless suffering thru relapsing over and over again. I feel like I’m certain that’s all finally come to an end and I’m free.
It sounds crazy but all you have to do is keep that belief. In the weak moments remember the strength of this moment and the certainty of the acceptance of what christ does for you. He can take away the painful moments of gaining sobriety if you let him. The soul is a powerful thing, it doesn’t have to be a rough road to sobriety. Call it the placebo effect or whatever you want but Belief can wash away the rough moments. I’ve heard people say the placebo effect is the most powerful and reliable effect in medicine. All that tells me is that the mind/soul is more powerful than anything doctors could come up with. The pain and suffering of gaining sobriety can be taken away through belief. God bless brother ❤️✝️ I’ll pray for you.
Praise God. Remember you CAN DO NOTHING to stop your addiction. It's ALL GOD. Your will and your power are but filthy rags to Him. You rely solely on Him and He will set you free from ALL ADDICTION
Many years ago as young nurses i returned home after duty to find my nursing friend in deep thought following her day at work. Just before she left work, a patient went into cardiac arrest. They got him back and he kept telling them that he was floating above and could see everything. Of course no one believed him UNTIL a nurse entered the bay. Immediately, he pointed at her asking how her knee was. Apparently during the arrest something was required and she volunteered to get it. On leaving the bay she fell over by the sink and hurt her knee. At that time he was clinically dead! Everyone present was speechless!!!!!! He also knew that she had volunteered to get what was missing. ❤
Keep Shawn in prayer. Do not forget. The world is gonna come after him for doing what he is doing. Pray for me if you will. I have mental health problems and those create behavior and emotional problems. Its a cycle of instability. ❤ Thanks all. Stick together and prayers
God is good. I watched this interview today . I have been struggling really badly lately and today I sat down and watched and I was going to buy the book. A few hours later I went to my mother's house and I am cleaning up some things in the basement and something catches my eye .. I walk over to this dark area in the basement and it is your book Imagine Heaven. I ran upstairs and my mom said "I was going to give that to you for a Christmas present and I couldn't find it anywhere. I know you're not much of a reader but give this a try" How these situations happen .. man I don't know .. there is definitely a force at work here .. thank you Jesus 🙏
I've had small syncronicities before, but nothing quite like this. God's not pursuing you (as previously commented), God is within you. God is in all of us, always. 🥲
For most of my young adult/adult life until few weeks ago I had felt something come after me depressing me and making me anxious. It was drinking and cocaine that kept them away and i thought it was helping. Until the drugs pushed me to a dark place when i was hooked and was ready to end it all because i felt all the darkness suppressing me feeling almost possessed now that im looking back at it. At the time i wasn’t sure what stopped me. I am one year sober from drugs now except for one or two hiccups along the way and recently i felt an awakening and building a connection with jesus i feel the same familiar presence that stopped me from ending it all and it was him my lord and saviour. I am now researching to convert to catholocism. I pray three times a day and ive never been happier and would never touch drugs again. Thank you Jesus. Amen
Dear friend, Catholicism comes with so much baggage and outright deception. You'll do better just to convert to Jesus, read the Bible, and spend time in prayer with Him. The Pope is *not* the "Vicar of Christ" on Earth. That is the title of the Holy Spirit, that lives inside of every *born again* believer.
When Mr. Burke spoke about the woman who saw her dogs that had died, I shouted out for joy. This is positively proof are pets are in Heaven!!! I have had the belief in that they are with Jesus because God created all animals and the pets we loved and took care of would be there too. Being honest, I chose to believe that because I have loved so many pets. And to think I would not ever see them would be so hurtful. I know that in the Bible it says we will see our love ones, so I never doubted that. But our pets!! Praise God the father of heaven and earth!❤️✝️
SRS has pound for pound the most captivating guests in the world . 4-5 hour interviews and I’m consistently left ass on the floor criss cross apple sauce absolutely locked in
What? Hardly. You've obviously never heard of Whitney Webb, Dr Stamets and Terence Howard lol. Let me guess. You're a fan of Vivek Ramaswamy, Psycho Trump and mad MTG lol.
Thankyou so much for this, I've always worried about where my father would end up in the next life, I've completely forgiven him and I love him and I miss him so much, this has filled my heart with joy that Jesus will reunite us on the other side. God bless you all ❤
I got saved by Jesus in my apartment room. I was mindlessly scrolling through RUclips watching NDE testimonies on Randy Kay’s channel. I finally realized in my heart how much Jesus (God in the flesh) loves me by dying a brutal death for all of my sins and defeating death for me by rising from the dead on the third day. “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” - Romans 10:9-10
For the last 5 years I’ve fallen out of my faith, but I’ve been asking God to bring me back to him and to soften my heart and to want to be close to him. This episode and hearing the stories of how even when we’re falling into hell God wants to reach us really touched me. I’m so undeserving and I can’t fathom how God would want to love me, yet I know he does and it’s amazing. “God is pursuing people till the last minute”
Please remember:you don't have to ASK God to bring you back to Him. ..He didn't GO ANYWHERE. ITS us who chose to walk away. You must reach out to HIM and He will take your hand over and over and over again because He LOVES YOU THAT MUCH.
THANK YOU for this interview. My only son age 19 was killed in 2017. Imagine Heaven is by far the best book I’ve read that has given me so much comfort. I recommend this book to all my Angel momma/daddy friends. Losing a child has been THE hardest road to walk. It’s awful. Mr John Burke I thank you so much from the bottom of my shattered heart for the research you’ve done and shared. Love Nicks mom.
Im Catholic. I *FIRMLY* believe God exists. But honestly, this feels like a rebirth to me. This feels like a new opportunity at life, for me. I truly am excited for all the souls that rejected God, who will somehow stumble upon this podcast, and will come to Him not just in repentance, but to really be able to experience His mercy, but most importantly, His Love!
I haven't finished this episode, yet. I'm currently right at the 3-hr-mark. Having to stop many times to pause the show, and praise God, tears streaming. Glory to God! Thank you Jesus! You first loved us! I cannot wait to be with Him, whenever it's His timing.
In Jesus name ! Watching this for the first time at 2am my husband sent it to me & I can’t help but to cry, rewind , pause with tears streaming while giving him praise for being so graceful & merciful! 😭🙌🏾🙏🏾🤍
Most amazing interview I have ever seen. It changed my life and my relationship with God. I could go on and on but suffice it to say I am a different and much better person after I watched this ✝️
Same. It’s one of the most impactful conversations I have seen and heard. I have been researching NDEs and non-local consciousness for the past 12 months or so and John Burke’s take on it has changed me.
I literally stayed at this man's house with his family when I attended a leadership conference in Austin Texas when I worked for Gateway Branson MO which was then called Jesus Was Homeless. Him and his family are amazing and I learned alot. Imagine heaven and No perfect people allowed were both game changers in my walk in faith. Thank you Jesus for allowing this man to be on this podcast where people can learn and research more about Faith and their everyday experiences with people. John Burke is part of the reason I am still sober today.
The best moment of my life June 2023. I grew up catholic but never truly had a relationship with the Almighty God/Jesus. At 17 I decided to become my own god. I took matters into my own hands by indulging into what the world 🌎 had to offer. Sex, drugs, alcohol, party, career, traveling ect all while still maintaining a “ functional” lifestyle. Until He encountered me at lowest point and finally said to me “ I’d been here all along but you never looked my way! Now follow me.” And immediately I fell to my knees and knew who this was my SAVIOR. No turning back! He filled my heart with pure joy and unexplainable peace. It’s a FREE GIFT OF FREEDOM AND SALVATION for me and YOU! ❤ ✝️ Too good to not believe!
I am really happy that Christ looked upon you with mercy and called you to follow him as he did so many times in the Gospels to people he encountered when he walked the earth. As a fellow Catholic, I encourage you to research and rediscover the wonderful spiritual treasures Christ has given the Catholic Church, but especially the Holy Eucharist and our Blessed Mother Mary. Bishop Robert Barron, Fr. Mike Schmitz are two really wonderful Catholic evangelists on RUclips! Peace and blessings to you 🙏
The Eucharist is the end all be all. I walked away from the church for a decade. I've been to other Christian churches. I returned to the Catholic church because of numerous reason but the biggest being the Eucharist. I just felt empty without it. Church doesn't hit the same cord without it in my experience. The church is not without fault but I truly believe Christ will never abandon it. There's been really dark times in the church and really great times. It happens when humans get involved with anything. Church has lasted this long and that's a testament to it. I hope you'll find encouragement to dig into it and return. One holy United church. That was Christ's goal not all these split and divided churches.
You changed my life with this interview, and quite frankly, you saved my life. Thank you so much. You don’t realize how much you just saved so many people’s lives. Thank you.
I didn't have a near death experience, but I had a living experience with God! I took a journey researching Christianity and got to the point where I truly believed and found genuine faith. In that moment, being home alone, I suddenly felt a holy presence of love fill the room and surround me like a warm embrace. I felt the purest love and peace I've ever experienced; words can't even describe it. I was flooded with emotion, weeping but it was also a deep sense of joy and feeling of deliverance at the same time. I felt like I had been lost my whole life and was just rescued and found or a prisoner set free. I felt my spirit and soul come alive for the first time. I was given a new heart and I was forever a new and changed man. Once I started studying the Bible, I realized that I experienced what Jesus said about being born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit. It's all true. If there's any skeptics reading this, all I would say is that God is real, Jesus is Lord and Savior. Seek him and you will find him, that is his promise for everyone. God bless!
@@theresaalba76 You should pray to God with a sincere heart to know the truth. Ask Him to make Himself known to you. And yes, you should definitely read the Bible as well. I would read the New Testament first. God bless.
Something very like this happened to me too at 14 years old. His love goes far beyond what we think love is. It's so pure so total with no condemnation in it. Like being in an ocean of love flowing around and in and through me. God is real and he is perfect love.

My oldest brother overdosed on drugs as a teenager. My dad would try to talk to him about the Lord. He would never listen, when he died he said he was in utter darkness. He was falling, he was on fire, but it was pitch black. He said he would finally hit the ground, and then it was like he pulled back up and it would start all over again. He could hear thousands of people screaming, crying. He said the smell was horrific. He smelled like sulfur and burning flesh. He said he can still smell it to this day. He was brought back to life. He is now 62. If you bring it up to him today, it's like it happened yesterday.
This has so much important information about Jesus and the accuracy of prophecy in the Bible that most people don’t know about but is so powerful when you do hear it. God bless you Shawn for using your platform to share this.

@@ThePercipient Just as you are when it comes to being an attempted negative influence. Negative energy passes on as more negative energy. Which means you have a negative aspect and/or experience in life. And you gain no happiness downing others, just a minuscule ego boost if successful but rarely it is. Typical sad human trying to pass on the hate. Have a great night buddy I hope you can not be a doushebag and be happy one day
The phrase "I dont know" is extremely UNDERused in the ministry. The fact of the matter is, there are MANY things we just don't know. That's why we are called to have a relationship with our Creator through Jesus Christ. We in the ministry need to assure our brothers and sisters that sometimes (most times for ME) we just don't know. Not only does that show honesty, but also helps make the brother/sister in Christ feel better that you BOTH have that in common. Kudos to John Burke for not trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
I agree. Almost a relief to hear him say I just don't know instead of making something up. I am convinced that none of truly know what this bigger picture is, especially all of the churches, but I believe whole heartedly we are missing a way bigger picture here. It is probably just too unfathomable for us to comprehend.
Amazing interview. 20 years ago, God allowed me to travel to Sheol and what Revelation describes as the New Jerusalem with the street of gold. Life changing and now Im writing a book about my testimony.
@ShawnRyanShow One day while driving with my 3year old daughter in the back seat just learning to talk, my wife and I were talking about her sister that had passed away about a decade or so at that time. We didnt mention her name but talking about lupus the disease she died from. From the back seat we hear my daughter say, "Who? and says my wifes sisters name and goes on to tell us that she met her before she came down to earth to be born. Wife and I just got silent and looked at eachother like what did we just hear from our 3 yr old. We are Christians and it still gave us goosebumps.
I've heard similar things from other NDErs. That God creates us and we are learner and explorers. We come to the Earth to experience things we can't in paradise and to learn so we may learn to overcome fears and love more. One person said God described it to her like this: "imagine you are a stone." He then proceeded to materialize a stone and a lake in front of her. He then says "you are the stone." And he skips it across the water. She knew that the ripples were her thoughts and actions in the world and how even the smallest things impact others negatively or positively. Another said imagine you grew up eating in a Michelan star restaurant. Eventually you'd get bored. So you eat at McDonald's for a week and then go back and now it's the best thing in the world again. We need to be somewhat apart from God for a time to appreciate His glory fully when we return.
I have had many real encounters with the Lord. He is so good to reveal so much! The first that rocked my spirit was in a dream ten years ago. I’d been bedridden for 9 months. I was very sick. I could feel myself slipping away. I was afraid to fall asleep. I eventually began to accept that my time was coming. Jesus came to me in a dream. He told me He knew my heart; don’t give up, keep fighting. I obeyed and I’m still here. Praise God! I struggle everyday, but He is teaching me to suffer joyfully. My dad recently passed away unexpectedly. The Lord has been so faithful and loving, providing much comfort and confirmation that my dad is with Him. I asked Him for a dream about my dad and He gave me the most incredible dream that same night! Hallelujah! I fell to my knees and praised Him in my dream after speaking to my dad and His angels. I also asked Him how I could lead others to Him and He answered me in a dream that same night. He showed me what it felt like to die separated from Him. It was an indescribable terror. I was in water with a magnificent light above me. I was reaching for the light, but was dragged down into outer darkness. The fear alone felt like it would kill me. I described it to my mom, telling her that if we felt that level of fear here, our hearts would stop. In His mercy, He woke me up pretty quickly. I woke up choking, coughing, gasping for air and weeping. I prayed, begging Him to never separate from me and He gave me so much peace, I fell back asleep with ease. I prayed about it for two days. I was listening to a random sermon and the pastor talked about outer darkness where men’s hearts will fail them for fear, but with a body built for destruction, we will endure an eternity of suffering and torment. I didn’t know that was in the Bible until I heard that sermon. The dreams and messages He gives me always line up with scripture and it’s usually scripture I’m not yet familiar with. I recently learned of Job 33:14-18 that speaks about the Lord speaking to us through dreams and visions. He is always speaking to us, we are just not always listening. Jesus Christ is real! He is the way, the truth and the life! The Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, King of kings and Lord of lords! The Great I Am! Thank You Jesus! I’m not worthy of His grace and mercy, yet He still provides. Father God, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, let this interview draw Your children unto You. Let their hearts of stone be replaced with hearts of flesh. Let them seek You, know You, love You and honor You all the days of their lives. Let their minds be transformed and renewed in Your Word - the Word made flesh. Let those with ears to hear and eyes to see, hear and see, Lord! I pray this in the Mighty, Majestic, Matchless Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Amen and Amen and Amen!
I had no idea who this guy was, I just clicked on this video because I know I'm guaranteed to have an interesting time watching any Shawn Ryan interview, but wow I did not expect this to be so incredibly eye-opening and mind-blowing. I was raised a Christian, have considered myself a Christian all my life, but I have very rarely ever actually FELT any of it. I believed it with my mind but I have never felt touched by God, and I've always felt kind of distant from the kind of love that so many new converts tend to describe. This video, and the testimonies John shared, were some of the first times I have ever felt close to truly glimpsing the love God has for me. Thank you Shawn for doing this interview, and thank you John for sharing all these stories. I am sure it will touch many hearts, not just mine.
My dad died in 1985 and somebody gave my mom some books by a doctor who researched NDE before then. He traveled the earth interviewing people who experienced NDE. These people lived in the Brazilian rain forest to Saharan Africa and all parts in between, remote parts of the earth where their idea of death couldn't match our western expectations. In 1992 my young wife died from a rare pneumonia, I read those books. What John Burke is describing matches what I read all of those years ago.
Everyone needs to watch this episode!! Currently on my fourth time watching! I went from drug addiction at an early age, to professing my life to satan, to ending up in prison for manslaughter and assault, to coming back to God. I foolishly couldn't kick a few habitual sins, but, once i did...true freedom. In every way possible. praise Christ.
This is the best podcast I have ever listened to and I am a seriously seasoned podcast enthusiast. This has truly changed my perspective on Christianity and have started my journey. It’s so comforting to know that heaven exists and to shape my world to ensure that I reach that place by believing in god, Jesus and the. Holy Spirit ❤
Praying for you on your journey. Jesus said anyone who comes to him he will in no way turn them away, and that he will be found by those who see him with their whole heart! I know you will find him.
I have worked in Cardiovascular and Pulmonary rehab for 15+ years and have heard multiple stories like these, thank you for shedding light on the topic! It is the greatest miracle and event you can ever experience..
@Featherless1 no. Heaven is a literal place and Christ is a person, both the son of God and son of man. You're hearing testimonies of people meeting Him. Don't be the fool that Jesus warned against when the rich man begged Abraham to have God send Lazarus back from the dead to warn his brother in Luke 16. You better wake up or a greater condemnation will come upon you.
@@Featherless1 and yet I know Christ. He lives within me, walks with me, and I have seen His power in my life. It isn't cultural conditioning, especially when the new age is hell bent on twisting everything to a distorted lie. The only cultural conditioning I ever see are the new agers and Christ deniers constantly gaslighting us to believe what is false and deny Christ. Millions of believers are persecuted around the world, going against culturr, and your only response is 'cultural conditioning?' The fact that that is your first response IS cultural conditioning. Do you not think the enemy knows you will come back from time to time? Do you not think he can set up simulations to make you believe it's all good? I implore you to hear the testimony of Bryan Melvin. He explains that, too. Please wake up
@@AE-pv9vc do you think fish know they are in water...? 😂 I was raised, baptized, even confirmed in a Lutheran Church, and graduated from a Christian Academy. I knew religion was BS the whole time. Religion only survives by brainwashing the young. But I have never not once denied Christ. The Apostle Paul shares the sacred secret of the Christ within. I also suggest you read the book, "God-Man, the word made flesh". Christ is consciousness. The word Christ was derived from the word Christos, which is a chemical in your brain. Heaven and Hell are states of consciousness. Not places you go when you die. So are you receiving consciousness or manufacturing it..? Consciousness is a symptom of the soul, something that is beyond this material manifestation, eternal and original. The soul is the eternal form of the individual living entity, as you can see in the reflection of this material world. No two leaves are identical so no two personalities are identical. The soul is the personality and the personality is the actual form of the living entity. So we are not of the universe, only our current bodies. We are not born into this world, we are born out of it like a leaf is born out of a tree. But we are not humans experiencing the universe, we are the universe experiencing humans. You are a bio-holographic, precipitation, crystallization, miraculous manifestation of divine frequency vibration, coming out of water... that's it! I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.
To captive an audience for hours, in a generation of people who can barely get through a 15 second TikTok video, is a testament to how great this show is! I appreciate your quality and informative content.
Three nights ago I started reading Psalms 91 every night before bed. I had two disturbing dreams. One I clearly don't remember, but I woke up and turned over to go back into yet another disturbing dream in which something was trying to grab me. Something horrible. I can't remember now what it was or looked like. I do remember shouting loudly and long, "Nooooo" and right then - I was yanked with a force that threw my arms and legs out in front of me. I was yanked up and through clouds. I could see and feel the wind rushing by with force. The clouds obscured the evil. I didn't hear anything. No voice spoke to me, but I know who saved me! "Out of my night and into thy calm. Jesus, I come to thee." Thank you for having him on your show. This is a witness that you can not deny.
Shawn, you have no idea how much this testimony has changed my life. Especially now when I am going through a TERRIBLE time in my life. I truly feel God every day. SO POWERFUL Thanks so much for bringing it to light
I have recently been struggling with my faith and anger in the American Christian church and unforgiveness .. a hardened heart.... I have really been seeking through some deconstruction of my faith what the hell is real anymore.... and this was super convicting and I repented today and just prayed and prayed Jesus Lord please help me be who you want me to be... please help heal my trauma and forgive my disgusting sins... so freaking disgusting.... I am so thankful to God for this video....
We are all in a state of becoming better at letting Christ work in our totally messed up lives. It's a process, a journey. The difference happens when we start loving God with everything we have, and lose our ego, having love for our brothers and our neighbors. Thank you Shawn, keep going brother.
I know All to well...Coming From An Extremely Dark Perverted life, to seeking God, Left that lifestyle alone, And Doing way Waay Better with Christ...I am truly a Testiment of What the Love and the Power of Jesus can Do...He's been so Faithful to me, even when I wasn't, and that Love Won me over for Life 🙏🏽❤️☝🏽🙌🏽🕊🌍🌏
When we begin to truly "fear" God in the upmost reverence because He is a very Holy "God" and we are not, that is the beginning of our transformation. Like you said, we begin to lose our self-centered egos and begin to be God-centered and love Him very very much ❤
After listening to this for an hour and other teachings on Jesus, God has again for the hundredth of times, rekindled my heart towards 😊Him. He never gives up on us.
This interview was a turning point in my faith after a long trail of efforts made by God to bring me back to him, and I want to say thank you Shawn Ryan and John Burke.
Struggle and darkness are part of spiritual growth as God's permits trials in order to get us to trust completely in Him and to dissolve our ego-centeredness. Peace ❤
Amazing show and interviews and questions. Keep up the great work Shawn! God is seeking you deeply for a relationship and using you as an instrument to reach out to millions!
I was not raised in a religious household, never went to church with my family as a kid. But I always had dear friends through out my life who would invite me. Most of the time I would never go, but sometimes I took them up and went to church with them. I never really went with the intention to learn but more to be social. I would have great philosophical talks with these friends sometimes and they never were preachy about it. I continued to live my life as if god was a myth or a construction. One day, when I was at my lowest with nobody to blame but myself. I reached out to god and prayed for him to show me how to lift myself out of the misery I was in. I had never truly opened up my heart to god in a genuine way until that night I prayed for his guidance. I will never forget the moment. I was FLOODED with the most loving, comforting, accepting feeling. Coming from deep inside me, it was intoxicating. It was as if god had reached out and put a hand on my shoulder and whispered in my ear “it’s okay, you’re okay” I’ve been religious ever since and I can see all the ways god was talking to me and communicating with me my whole life, Guiding me to him. Sometimes I do not “hear” god when I’m looking for answers. I think he knows when he needs to give you a nudge and when you need to do things on your own. But I know he is watching over me and steering me exactly where I am needed no doubt in my mind.
1:57:49 Luke 15:3-7 “In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away” GLORY!!
I had a NDE in Memphis TN. I was in the dark space that illuminated Love, piece and sense of belonging and had a feeling of moving out of the darkness more towards the illuminated feelings. But then I heard a very loud rapid sounding bell and went back into my body. Two weeks prior to that experience I was having trouble breathing and every time I walked my heart would beat extremely fast; I would take deal breaths but could not get oxygen. I asked the Hotel to call me an ambulance after the NDE and was rushed to the hospital in Memphis. Turns out I had Severe APlastic Anemia My hemoglobin was slightly below 2.0 I basically ran out of blood cells because my immune system attacked my stem cells. I had a bone marrow transplant and got healed but I’ll never forget those feelings I experienced during the NDE. GOD is good and GOD loves everyone despite being a fallin nature.
Ok my husband listens to you daily, and you’ve truly changed his perspective on life as a husband, father, and Christian. I somehow believe this episode is for me!! Like others are saying, how do you keep getting better? Thank you and all your guests for all you do!
I know the reasons why I left and went on the wrong path but a near death experience changed my life that has put me on a path to believe in God and Christ with daily prayer , thank you Shawn for this episode
So glad you touched on psychedelics. When people dont understand blended senses or ego death, they have never done strong psychedelics. 5-meo-AMT and DMT will make you question life and the universe . You KNOW the secrets of the universe instantly but you cant take it with you. I was floating in a space 🌌 of galaxies and stars , with 3 bright lights. One white, one blue, one red. One was me, one was God, and one was love. God is Love , is the message i took back home . And i fully believe Jesus died for us and has given us the gift of eternal salvation. Excellent episode Shawn, thank you sir. And thanks for your service.
I had a NDE after overdosing on cocaine I was hovering above my body & watching my 2 neighbors who 1 was a nurse put Narcan up my nose I was right back in my body within seconds. Please for those out there who r not believers our soul lives on. That happening to me made me a better person I'm not afraid of death I know where I'm going. Thank u John & Shawn for a amazing episode ❤️ ❤️
I have just recently began the journey to faith. And a friend sent this to me and these stories are so wholesome. The child who said,” I will pray for you.” Just brought me to tears. All my life, I have never thought I would be a believer. I love you guys all in the comments! And all can be forgiven!
"But from there you will search again for the Lord your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him" - When he said that along with the story near the end of the video, it hit me really hard. My wife is an atheist and I am christian. I only went to church at christmas and eastern. 1 year into our relationship I got more distressed every day about her not believing and about life itself, wether gods exist or not. But i really loved her. Just one day of the blue i was thinking about it again, and suddenly I had this instant and imprinted message in my head to go to the Church. I remember thinking 'no', but another message in my head followed it up saying that I had to go to the church next sunday. It was a friendly, warm but strict message. I told my wife i wanted to go to church and she agreed to go with me. And the message of that day was about christians who are in a relationship who does not believe and that this was ok. I felt such a relieve after this service that i got answers. I am now married with my wife, we have a beautiful daugther. I was months in distress, but God decided, in all his perfect timing, to speak to me in that very important week. I am by no means a good christian, but I am now getting to know god and jesus more than ever. God is love, never forget this.

I remember believing the Bible was boring, but I had never read it. Now, no matter what, I’m finding something new or interesting everytime I read from it
Glad you're back walking with the Lord my friend 🧡
At around 44:30 that laughing when told about getting stoned to death is a little too demonic for my liking!
Does anyone else feel the same?
Welcome back, brother. We’re all in this with you. You’re not alone in this journey.
I was sent to that place where the black is blacker than anyone could ever possibly imagine. There are no words to describe the intensity of the horror, the pain, the suffering, the depression, the feeling of absolute hopelessness, and worst of all the absence of God. It was a bottomless black void filled with screams of torture, and I knew there was no escape from it, it was eternal. I was falling deeper and deeper into it and screaming in agony and terror. It felt like burning hot razor sharp claws trying to pull me down when suddenly, I came out of it and was screaming in terror and lying on the floor of my friends house. He was freaked out, and pale as a ghost. He'd heard me screaming from downstairs and later told me he thought I was being m*rdered. He ran up to see what was happening but I was in the band room with the door closed. I was in there alone but he said he couldn't open the door even thought he tried with all of his strength. When he finally got in I was writhing around on the floor and screaming and crying hysterically. I truly believe I had died and was being sent to the place I had earned. I was a terrible person back then, and I hated God. I blamed Him for all of my problems. It brings me to tears to even type this today, because I am filthy rags, a vile sinner, and undeserving of a single blessing from God. I am unworthy to even speak His name. But He has worked a miracle in me and blessed me with eyes to see and ears to hear the Truth. I was once prideful, but now I am now a humble servant of the Lord. Praise and glory be to Him!
❤
God is good!!! Praise be to the trinity
God bless ur soul ❤️ ❤️
Wow that’s powerful ! Thank you Jesus hallelujah!
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch; like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see ♥
I was a full blown militant atheist with a muslim background and long story short, one night hundreds of demons came and tried to abduct me (i thought it was alien abduction) and something in my spirit (holy spirit) made me cry out to Jesus and all the demons left and I saw Jesus and I was instantly converted to Christianity. ALL GLORY BE TO JESUS CHRIST!!!!
What an amazing testimony!
Wow, just wow
Amazing
Praise God!
God Bless You!!!
I had a dream of Jesus. In that dream I felt and saw all of this. He is so beautiful. He held me like a little child. He saved me from suicide. Praise His Name!
Me too
Amen!!! 🙌💝🙏✝️ Don't ever forget that Almighty Creator God of the universe LOVES 💗 you!

4 yrs ago I lost my father and it sent me on a journey to try to find answers to what death is. I started with NDEs. I watched 100s of them on RUclips. Everywhere I looked it seemed to mention Jesus in some capacity. So I finally started looking into the man we know as Jesus. Then I came across Lee Strobel “a case for Christ”. It answered a lot of my questions and after almost 4 years of looking into this life and death game we’re in, I’ve accepted Jesus as my lord and savior. God bless everyone on their journey 🙏
God bless you!
GOD bless you as well🙏🏻❤
Amen
So awesome to hear this! God used a sad time in your life for good. Praise God!
Amen
I couldn’t keep myself together when he said that Mary had said Jesus held her. My 3 yr old daughter said that Jesus rocked her in the big chair when she was in an induced coma while recovering from a bone marrow transplant from her identical twin sister. Upon waking up she constantly said she wanted to go back to be with Jesus. It broke our hearts but she did go home with him shortly after. She also had encounters with her Angel during the nights always laughing and talking to him as her sister was sound asleep. She said the angels name was Tommy and that he was tall as the ceiling with long white hair and big fluffy wings. How wonderful Heaven will be for us all.
That made me cry. I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine dealing with that grief. I know grief all too well but not THAT. 💔
Thank you, I appreciate that. Grief is awful, no matter what it may be. What a blessing to know that God wipes away all of our tears. ❤
You'll see her again. Soon. Time is relative. God bless you for sharing.

Ive seen this happen to a patient of mine. Im a ER nurse in south Louisiana, I had a patient suddenly go into cardiac arrest. I called a code blue, we got her back for about 30 secs multiple times, each time she came back she was screaming in admiration, “praise God, OHH praise GOD!”… im an idiot, I was thinking she was grateful we got her back. After about an hour coding her she eventually didnt come back and died. It wasn’t until 3 days later that i realized she could not have known she coded or came back, she was talking to someone. And thats what it sounded like when she was speaking.. she was praising God in His presence. Im an honest man. That absolutely happened. That is in no way blown out of proportion or exaggerated.
🙏🙌🏼😭 Thank you for sharing this! God bless and keep you!

At your life review shawn, you're going to come back to this place and time and see how many thousands of people you touched with this podcast. It will be glorious. Christ is King.
Had open heart surgery the Doc had to put my brain on ice and recycle my blood thru a machine. The Doc forced me to die for 8 minutes to repair my heart. Well during that time I sat with our beautiful Lord in a temple high in the sky. I couldn’t see his face but I felt all the love in the world. Let me tell you all HEAVEN is REAL and so is Jesus. I was told to continue sending my love to all people. This was the 2nd most important moment in my life the 1st was giving birth to my 2 boys and during that process I felt CHRIST as well.
Sending all my ❤love to every sole on this planet.

My wife of 29 years passed away from cancer 7 weeks ago. 5 nights before she died, she said she thought my late parents were going to be there to greet her in heaven. The next night, she told me she had almost reached "the light" 2 nights prior. I asked her if that's why she mentioned my parents, and she said yes. My parents were in the light. I have always believed. This experience and this episode of the SRS have only strengthened my faith. Thank you.
Isn’t God wonderful! He prepared you for your wife’s passing.
I'm so sorry for your loss, and the journey you have been on. I know it must have been very sad and very difficult at times. I'm glad you have been given that gift, to know they are all in your future is a wonderful bit of sweetness in the midst of it all. Thank you for sharing, and hoping for brighter days ahead for you. 🫶
That is an incredible story! God bless you and your passed loved ones!
@RealEstateMan85 that’s incredible
Sorry for your loss
There is nothing like that assurance of salvation that our loved ones are eternally safe
My sister passed away unexpectedly last monday. This is helping me so much, you have no idea.
God Bless you
I'm so sorry... this is the most powerful interview I've ever heard... this will be my first book I've ever bought and read... this is what I'm asking for my father's day present .. I'm so glad this helped you in this difficult time
Losing a sibling is so very hard. I lost my oldest brother during an ibogaine treatment he went under in 201. I was told there is a possibility he was given a choice to stay there, or come back here. I hope you find serene moments sbd
So sorry to hear about your loss. I also lost my girlfriend and life partner last week. It’s a horrible empty lonely feeling. I pray for your comfort and peace in Christ.
I’m so sorry for your loss. May God be with your sister in Heaven. 🙏
My son died by suicide two years ago today and i have been constantly in pain believing God sent him to hell. This episode gave me great peace re-hearing God is compassionate, understanding and rescues those who cry out to him. I believe my son left this world in pain, being abused by others and that he knew what a loving father was (God I pray that I showed him that) enough to cry out for God. Thank you Shawn, this literally saved the rest of this life for me. Semper Fi.
God bless you brother! And, ty for your service. Being in a relationship with the Lord Jesus, you & your son will be together for eternity. The Father God wishes that none should perish. The Lord Jesus paid such a very dear price for our salvation. Glory to God!!!
Why would you think he was sent to hell?
@@keymind117 due to the number of times I have heard Pastors, Priests, and "scholars" state that suicide was the "unforgivable sin". after nearly 50 years of constant gaslighting by false prophets I was nearly convinced. that's the hardest thing about faith, not having a clearly defined path that isn't constantly being denied, or convoluted by people who seek to manipulate others.
@keymind117 catholics believe that you lose salvation when you commit mortal sin, until you confess. You can't confess if you do that, thus you lose your salvation. I'm not a catholic, I don't think you can lose salvation once you are truly saved. John 10:28 "I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand"

I’m 36 and have never used psychedelics but a few years ago I was seriously tempted to because I wanted to see if it could deepen my walk with God. But one morning during prayer the Lord pressed on me that I don’t need anything but a willing heart and my own voice lifted in prayer to experience Him. All of these mushrooms and plant concoctions cannot provide us with more than we receive through regular, heartfelt prayer with the Lord.
Amen. Did psychedelics in the 70s along with experimenting with eastern religions like
" soul travel" . I was truly hungering for God and he delivered me from these things when I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Then he revealed himself to me through the Bible and I learned to hear his voice and know him, commune with him and feel his love.
Oh ya? Smoke some DMT and you’ll receive much more then you can through heartfelt prayer …
@@madcat3337 have you ever gone away by yourself to the woods or even just sat in your car and spoken out loud to God in prayer? And have you ever told him everything? Because I can promise you that that experience does not disappoint. DMT is no doubt an experience but nobody knows quite what they’ve seen or what to do with it. Being sober minded and holding a conversation with the Creator of the Universe is a strange but certain thing.
You don't need them, they will confuse and mislead you.

Nov 20, 2003, I met Jesus face to face in a hospital. Nov 19, 2003, I went to the hospital because I knew something wasn't right when I gotten sick and couldn't go from one room to the next without feeling like I just ran 20 miles. The hospital kept me overnight thinking I had Hepatitis C. The next morning my health had went downhill so they took me by Ambulance to a hospital in Tulsa. The doctors thought I was losing my mind. They didn't know my heart was working at 20%. I became hestarical telling my mom to get me out, that death walked to my hospital room and pointed at me. That's when an evil spirit attacked me trying to take my life. I fought back. The doctors first put me in restraints and I broke out of those. Next 2 doctors, 2 helicopter pilots, and 4 nurses tried holding me down, they thought I was fighting them, they didn't know I was fighting the evil spirit. My heart stopped, the doctors began resuscitating me, they brought me back and that evil spirit kept trying and finally my heart stopped, shutting down my lungs, liver, and kidneys. Then the room filled with the brightest, purest, white light and that evil spirit shattered when Jesus and all His glory entered the room. He took me by the hand and said come. As I turned back to see my lifeless earthly body being revived by the doctors. The doctors put me on life support and told my parents to make funeral arrangements, I wouldn't live through the weekend. When I was with Jesus, His love, peace, and His Glory flowed through me, it was healing me. The peace and love that surpasses all understanding. I begged Him to stay but He said my work for Him isn't finished. He wasn't done with me. He sent me back and 3 days later I started waking up from my coma. The nursing staff, the doctors all said they witnessed a miracle from God because everything they were taught from their schooling said I shouldn't have lived through it. But what Jesus did for me on the cross said otherwise. He is the Great Physician, the author and finisher of my life. By His stripes we are healed and I wholeheartedly serve Him. 20 yrs later, I have no heart issues, no problems with my health. Jesus is tangible and very real, as for me and my household we will serve the Lord. I thank God for another year and I thank Jesus for my healing and salvation. I can't wait to see You again. He is I Am #LordYouleadIfollow
Hallelujah ❤
Wow It really touched my heart❤ Jesus is the Way Truth and Life❤ Greetings from South Africa
Wow this is amazing
Thank you for sharing !!!
I’m born again 21 months my life is all new his is the healer and wow just wow love your share !
Amen
Beautiful testimony thank you for sharing!💜
Nephilim...the product of fallen angels and human women. That is the source of demons.
They aren't fallen angels.
I had a NDE at age 22...I am nearing 65yrs old now, and my near death experience is THE MOST profound, amazing, beautiful and significant experience of my life! I came 'face to face' with God, and I still feel like it happened only a minute ago! I could write a thousand volumes on what happened..I don't know if it lasted a minute, a second or what, but it still affects me EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Start writing
Please share what happened
You are truly blessed! Would love to hear your story
Tell all!
I think we all would love to hear your story ✨🙏✨💕✨We learn from each other.
So I just listened to this episode and finished it last Wednesday. It really resonated with me. Side note: on Monday I prayed for God to show me who I need to serve this week, to put me in peoples lives that need me. I got a strong pull to visit my boyfriend’s grandparents. So after I finished the podcast on Wednesday, I went over there and told them about this episode and pulled it up on their RUclips for them to watch it. They were able to watch 3 of the 4 hours. Grandpa passed away today. He was 95, but there was no indication that he was dying this week. I truly think Jesus wanted him to have this message before he passed away. Thank you.
Thank you for having John on right now I’m going through the hardest time of my life watching my wife battle cancer and we found out the worst news a couple weeks ago and hearing this man speak on heaven and Jesus just gives me more hope than I had even as a believer I needed this
Hang in there man!
I feel ya. Went thru similar about a year ago. This is the sort of pressure that turns coal into diamonds. I ain’t gonna blow smoke up your arse.
You’ll never be the same.
Trust the process. Keep the faith.
@seanengland1563 JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU MY BROTHER.. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP CAUSE THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL, MY SUGGESTION IS READ YOU BIBLE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND CONTINUE TO BUILD YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE OUR MESSIAH… ““Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way where I am going.””
- John 14:1-4
There is blessing in suffering if we suffer with Christ.
I just lost my Mom to cancer and it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever endured. I needed this too. God is with you and your family.
Went through it 4 years ago. John's book Imagine Heaven brought me a lot of comfort and peace.
The way God is using Shawn Ryan is simply amazing. Wow
Amen! PTL!
I was reading these comments and thinking the same thing. Now watch what Joe Rogan is about to do with the Wes Huff interview.
Amazing❤
Ive been going to church for more than 10 years after I lost my only daughter (27). I was angry, sad and questioned God.
A few years ago as I sat in my car crying, missing her, I felt an immense warmth, love and peace go through me! It was an amazing feeling that didnt last long, I didnt want it to stop, I will never forget that feeling. Now I have a morning chat with God, prayer time and quiet time. Having a personal relationship with God is important. Thank you for sharing this discussion. ❤
may God bless you
life is really hard sometimes
Blessed! Such a blessed moment…
There is purpose in the journey and even in the pain. Jesus is with you, and she is with Jesus.
God bless. ✝️🙏❤️
God bless brother you will see her again seated at the hand of God your in my prayers today God's love man 🌄🙏
@@calmcdonaldp.i.2678We can confess to the Lord directly. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. ❤️✝️
I am so heartbroken for you brother. God bless and keep you. ✝️❤️🕊️
My son died at 8-months-old of meningitis and it was the most devastating heartbreaking thing I've ever been through but this episode has made me look at it differently it has made me happy that he is in a place way better than this
My heart breaks for you and your loss. I will pray for you that God comforts you. Xx
Prayers. I lost my 6 year old to meningitis. Sending all the love.
God Bless You, I Had An NDE Back in 1997 And Went To Heaven And I Can Tell You Three Things That I Believe Will Help You. God And Jesus Are Real And They Love You And There Are Little Children In Heaven. Many Of The Children That I Seen Were Aborted Before Birth. I Had Never Heard Such Wonderful Laughter Till Then. You Can Be Confident That Your Child Is There. On The Flipside There Is Hell But Little Children Don't Go There, They Aren't At The Age Of Accountability To Sin Willfully. Jesus Loves You And I Hope That You Search Him Out And Ask Him To Reveal His Truth To You, He Will. God Bless You.
Your son is guaranteed to be in heaven.
I hope you are doing okay. ❤ I'm thinking of you and praying for you. My daughter was 7 months when she passed (complications from spina bifida and hydrocephalus) I bet all of our babies are playing together. It's a beautiful vision.
My grandfather was completely blind by 40, he had a degenerative eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa (RP). When he was in his mid sixties, he had colon cancer and needed to have a large section of intestines removed. During the op, he died on the operating table. He was resuscitated, and when the op was done and he came to, he told the doctors how many were in the room during the time he had died and what tools they had been using on him. What was even more mind blowing was he saw my grandma and his kids in the waiting room. He was able to tell them what they were wearing down to the color of their jewelry (remember, he had been totally blind for over 20 years by then).
15 years later, he got pancreatic cancer and passed. That man died with boldness and courage. I will never forget his last Christmas. During the family prayer, he told everyone "I am dying, and it's okay. I know who I belong to, and I'm excited to be with Him. I will be able to see Him face to face". Still sends chills up my spine, my grandpa had a confidence in death that I've never seen since, you can't fake that type of confidence when faced with certain death.
Sir just curious are you a Christian, I'm 14 and am battling suicidall thoughts daily because im afraid of there being no heaven anyway i cant talk about this to my family but was hoping yall could help me anyway thank you for your time and im sorry for your loss
@@Justamanwidaplan yes, I am a Christian. What would compel you towards suicide? If you are hurting now, the hurt of facing God and answering for killing yourself would be greater. I'm not saying he would send you to hell, but when someone kills anyone, including themself, they have ended a life that didn't belong to them. Suicide is never the answer, I had many friends commit suicide through the years, and it never accomplished anything good for anyone. Just more pain all around.
@justinjagow4525 I'm compelled because I'm afraid there is no god if there isn't and it's just black I just want to get it over with.
@@Justamanwidaplan what would you accomplish by that? I can promise you, beyond a shadow of a doubt, God not only exists, but permeates every facet of life. The more you get to know God, the more you see His presence in every moment of life.
Committing suicide isn't a gamble if God exists or not, I can promise you He does. I can say this both logically and experientially. Go to Him in prayer, calm your mind and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. The Bible says God "resists the proud but draws near to the humble". Humble yourself. You'd be surprised what God will do with your life.

AMEN
Ah, but it's actually God working through Shawn. See, not every man could fill Shawn's shoes but Shawn couldn't do any of this without God. What a beautiful relationship. Edit; what I mean to say is God picked the right dude to reach a certain sort of person, powerful humans who have endured more than their share. This is touching millions of people. I've shared this with many loved ones and they are surely doing the same. God bless all.
@@Hugh-Glass amen brother!
How do you know that exactly? There are thousands of other podcasts.
Not by pushing psychedelics he isn’t
I had a NDE when I was 27 years old. I had a severe asthma attack which caused a cardiac arrest. I watched over me in the ER as they worked on me. They intubated me and used the paddles. The ER doctors were talking to my mom, advising her I may not make it, asking what was our religious affiliation frantically. I remember feeling a euphoric peace as I watched, there was no pain only beauty was the best way I can describe it. I remember that I had pink shoes on or at Least I saw my pink shoes, and then I heard my son crying for me. That was it, I woke the next day in the ICU. For many years I didn't dare say what I had experienced because I didn't think anyone would believe it. My faith is solid, I am sure of the love of God. I may not be a perfect human on this Earth, but I know our God is real and the Lord is our Savior.
Bless your heart.
There is no way to the father but thru Jesus Christ his son. Please hear this.
Jesus was "a perfect human on this Earth", because none of us can be. Trust in Him with all your heart for your salvation.
@@ingela_injeelaHe’s the best ever!!!❤
I watched this podcast when it came out, and then read the book. It made me realize I didn’t understand Christianity as much as I thought I did, and that it was worth some serious consideration.
After serious consideration, months of serious consideration, I became a Christian. Our family found a church we love. It’s been a journey, but a journey that I can trace back to this podcast. When he said “I[Jesus] was always there, I was just waiting for you to turn to me.” It was like an arrow to the heart.
Shawn Ryan and John Burke, thank you for spreading the light.
I used to get sleep paralysis all the time for about 15 years when I was doing and dealing things I shouldn’t be, and treating woman like objects. I would not be sleeping but not fully awake either but I could not move and it’s very scary it felt like there was something putting all it’s weight on me, there was something or some sort of darkness in the room with me. Things in my house would fall off the shelf and I could see shadows out of the corner of my eye all the time.
Til one night I thought the world would be better off without me and out of nowhere I herd a voice say what about Jesus. So I gave my life to Christ that night and I never got sleep paralysis or saw the shadows again. I’m born again in the spirit and truth of Christ. I live a new life now. Thank you lord Jesus. 🙌
I hear those experiences are frightening
Thank God they stopped! And so glad you came to Jesus.
I had similar experience with sleep paralysis after having backslidden
A dreadful wicked spirit entered my bedroom and I could feel its presence and wickedness. I was unable to move or speak but cried out to Jesus in my heart and spirit and it would lift off of me. I had several of these episodes while in active addiction but it went away through prayer and obedience
Hallelujah
I've experienced this exact same thing. The only way I got it to stop was excepting christ into my life and having my own relationship with him.
Hey @ShawnRyanShow, after 6 years of PTSD nightmares, I had my best sleep in years after watching this episode. It helped me put some things in my mind to rest. Thank you.
So glad you found some peace😊
Peace brings us amazing things!!
I am happy to hear you got sleep!!!
Xo
God bless you bro
I had PTSD nightmares, I wasn’t in a war, but something happened that shocked me to my core when I was 21… for 7 years I’d cry during the day if I wasn’t numb, and dream over and over. When I learned of Jesus and started listening to proverbs and psalms aloud, the dreams stopped 🥹🕊️
Awesome! As a Pastor, I have always had a check in my spirit whenever I hear judgemental or condemning speech coming from Christians. Before my experience of God's all encompassing love, I had lived a pretty self serving and selfish life. I had a first career as a Law Enforcement Officer and when I told God of my need for forgiveness, he held up a long sheet of white paper with nothing printed upon it! He said to me, "This is your rap sheet!" I answered, "There is nothing on it?" He said, "That's correct. It has been taken care of! My Son took care of it for you." It was the most awesome moment of my life!
That’s beautifully put, Tom! Former LE here too. That rap sheet has been torn to bits and spread as far as the East is from the West!
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this sir. I've been really so very concerned about my judgement time.
Warm regards, Dave UK
thank you, condemning speech is what kept me away from church. Sometimes Shawn does it and it breaks my heart. I hope he grows in his faith.
😭 tears of joy and awe of our awesome Father.
This is amazing I’m so glad John Burke is on a more widely viewed platform now. His work is so important. I’ve been following him since my own NDE in 2022 when I discovered myself that Jesus is real and he is God
My son sent me this interview. He was saved as a young boy, but in adulthood, he had big questions about God and eternity. THIS INTERVIEW radically grounded him in God Almighty. Thank you Shawn and John!
Amen!
Praise the Lord.
Was he vaccinated? Our son is 7 months old this is terrifying. We are so sorry. God bless you.
Thanku JESUS i love u for gaving Your Life for us.
Had to watch this in chunks because I kept crying at the thought of what God‘s unconditional love actually feels like.
Same 😂 my goodness I thought I was the only one lol
I don’t know how to explain this, but after listening to this podcast I felt a profound sense of relief and gratitude and I’ve accepted Jesus Christ back into my life and I’m beginning a new journey in sobriety once and for all after 27 years of agonizing dependence and endless suffering thru relapsing over and over again. I feel like I’m certain that’s all finally come to an end and I’m free.
May the Spirit of Jesus fill you and finish your deliverance. He is the author and the finisher of our faith.
God's got you✝️❤️🙏❤️
It sounds crazy but all you have to do is keep that belief. In the weak moments remember the strength of this moment and the certainty of the acceptance of what christ does for you. He can take away the painful moments of gaining sobriety if you let him. The soul is a powerful thing, it doesn’t have to be a rough road to sobriety. Call it the placebo effect or whatever you want but Belief can wash away the rough moments. I’ve heard people say the placebo effect is the most powerful and reliable effect in medicine. All that tells me is that the mind/soul is more powerful than anything doctors could come up with. The pain and suffering of gaining sobriety can be taken away through belief. God bless brother ❤️✝️ I’ll pray for you.
Welcome home!
Praise God. Remember you CAN DO NOTHING to stop your addiction. It's ALL GOD. Your will and your power are but filthy rags to Him. You rely solely on Him and He will set you free from ALL ADDICTION
Many years ago as young nurses i returned home after duty to find my nursing friend in deep thought following her day at work. Just before she left work, a patient went into cardiac arrest. They got him back and he kept telling them that he was floating above and could see everything. Of course no one believed him UNTIL a nurse entered the bay. Immediately, he pointed at her asking how her knee was. Apparently during the arrest something was required and she volunteered to get it. On leaving the bay she fell over by the sink and hurt her knee. At that time he was clinically dead! Everyone present was speechless!!!!!! He also knew that she had volunteered to get what was missing. ❤
Keep Shawn in prayer. Do not forget. The world is gonna come after him for doing what he is doing. Pray for me if you will. I have mental health problems and those create behavior and emotional problems. Its a cycle of instability. ❤ Thanks all. Stick together and prayers
Your not alone and know that you are prayed for God's Blessing and deliverance be with you
Nope
Oh puhleez! Take your conspiracies and theories elsewhere

Beautiful words
God is good. I watched this interview today . I have been struggling really badly lately and today I sat down and watched and I was going to buy the book. A few hours later I went to my mother's house and I am cleaning up some things in the basement and something catches my eye .. I walk over to this dark area in the basement and it is your book Imagine Heaven. I ran upstairs and my mom said "I was going to give that to you for a Christmas present and I couldn't find it anywhere. I know you're not much of a reader but give this a try"
How these situations happen .. man I don't know .. there is definitely a force at work here .. thank you Jesus 🙏
wow God is pursuing you! That's awesome✝️
I've had small syncronicities before, but nothing quite like this. God's not pursuing you (as previously commented), God is within you. God is in all of us, always. 🥲
WOW. I love when He does things like this.
That's crazy!!!!
How wonderful ❤😊
For most of my young adult/adult life until few weeks ago I had felt something come after me depressing me and making me anxious. It was drinking and cocaine that kept them away and i thought it was helping. Until the drugs pushed me to a dark place when i was hooked and was ready to end it all because i felt all the darkness suppressing me feeling almost possessed now that im looking back at it. At the time i wasn’t sure what stopped me. I am one year sober from drugs now except for one or two hiccups along the way and recently i felt an awakening and building a connection with jesus i feel the same familiar presence that stopped me from ending it all and it was him my lord and saviour. I am now researching to convert to catholocism. I pray three times a day and ive never been happier and would never touch drugs again. Thank you Jesus. Amen
Dear friend, Catholicism comes with so much baggage and outright deception.
You'll do better just to convert to Jesus, read the Bible, and spend time in prayer with Him.
The Pope is *not* the "Vicar of Christ" on Earth. That is the title of the Holy Spirit, that lives inside of every *born again* believer.
When Mr. Burke spoke about the woman who saw her dogs that had died, I shouted out for joy. This is positively proof are pets are in Heaven!!! I have had the belief in that they are with Jesus because God created all animals and the pets we loved and took care of would be there too. Being honest, I chose to believe that because I have loved so many pets. And to think I would not ever see them would be so hurtful. I know that in the Bible it says we will see our love ones, so I never doubted that. But our pets!! Praise God the father of heaven and earth!❤️✝️
Amen this has been my greatest concern I adore my animals (fur babies) and miss them so much
@@BabyandPrincessI wonder what will happen when we get caught up in the clouds to meet Jesus, who’s going to feed Max?

I got saved by Jesus in my apartment room. I was mindlessly scrolling through RUclips watching NDE testimonies on Randy Kay’s channel. I finally realized in my heart how much Jesus (God in the flesh) loves me by dying a brutal death for all of my sins and defeating death for me by rising from the dead on the third day.
“that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

JESUS IS LORD✝️❤️🙏
For the last 5 years I’ve fallen out of my faith, but I’ve been asking God to bring me back to him and to soften my heart and to want to be close to him. This episode and hearing the stories of how even when we’re falling into hell God wants to reach us really touched me. I’m so undeserving and I can’t fathom how God would want to love me, yet I know he does and it’s amazing. “God is pursuing people till the last minute”
Please remember:you don't have to ASK God to bring you back to Him. ..He didn't GO ANYWHERE. ITS us who chose to walk away. You must reach out to HIM and He will take your hand over and over and over again because He LOVES YOU THAT MUCH.

I recommend this book to all my Angel momma/daddy friends. Losing a child has been THE hardest road to walk. It’s awful.

That's beautiful!
The best moment of my life June 2023. I grew up catholic but never truly had a relationship with the Almighty God/Jesus. At 17 I decided to become my own god. I took matters into my own hands by indulging into what the world 🌎 had to offer. Sex, drugs, alcohol, party, career, traveling ect all while still maintaining a “ functional” lifestyle.
Until He encountered me at lowest point and finally said to me “ I’d been here all along but you never looked my way! Now follow me.”
And immediately I fell to my knees and knew who this was my SAVIOR.
No turning back! He filled my heart with pure joy and unexplainable peace. It’s a FREE GIFT OF FREEDOM AND SALVATION for me and YOU! ❤
✝️ Too good to not believe!
Rannnn threwwwww
I am really happy that Christ looked upon you with mercy and called you to follow him as he did so many times in the Gospels to people he encountered when he walked the earth. As a fellow Catholic, I encourage you to research and rediscover the wonderful spiritual treasures Christ has given the Catholic Church, but especially the Holy Eucharist and our Blessed Mother Mary. Bishop Robert Barron, Fr. Mike Schmitz are two really wonderful Catholic evangelists on RUclips! Peace and blessings to you 🙏
Please consider returning to the Catholic Church. You need the Eucharist. ❤️
The Eucharist is the end all be all. I walked away from the church for a decade. I've been to other Christian churches. I returned to the Catholic church because of numerous reason but the biggest being the Eucharist. I just felt empty without it. Church doesn't hit the same cord without it in my experience.
The church is not without fault but I truly believe Christ will never abandon it. There's been really dark times in the church and really great times. It happens when humans get involved with anything. Church has lasted this long and that's a testament to it.
I hope you'll find encouragement to dig into it and return. One holy United church. That was Christ's goal not all these split and divided churches.
Who could possibly find any joy knowing your child's expiration date? Even knowing what beauty lies ahead, being human makes us fearful by nature.
You changed my life with this interview, and quite frankly, you saved my life. Thank you so much. You don’t realize how much you just saved so many people’s lives. Thank you.
I didn't have a near death experience, but I had a living experience with God! I took a journey researching Christianity and got to the point where I truly believed and found genuine faith. In that moment, being home alone, I suddenly felt a holy presence of love fill the room and surround me like a warm embrace. I felt the purest love and peace I've ever experienced; words can't even describe it. I was flooded with emotion, weeping but it was also a deep sense of joy and feeling of deliverance at the same time. I felt like I had been lost my whole life and was just rescued and found or a prisoner set free. I felt my spirit and soul come alive for the first time. I was given a new heart and I was forever a new and changed man. Once I started studying the Bible, I realized that I experienced what Jesus said about being born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit. It's all true. If there's any skeptics reading this, all I would say is that God is real, Jesus is Lord and Savior. Seek him and you will find him, that is his promise for everyone. God bless!
wow! Thank you for sharing. Made me smile so big. God bless you!
Seek him where by reading the Bible? Or how exactly?
@@theresaalba76 You should pray to God with a sincere heart to know the truth. Ask Him to make Himself known to you. And yes, you should definitely read the Bible as well. I would read the New Testament first. God bless.
A wonderful testimony. I had a similar experience at home alone during my search for the Holy Spirit. It is indescribable.🙏💙☮️
Something very like this happened to me too at 14 years old. His love goes far beyond what we think love is. It's so pure so total with no condemnation in it. Like being in an ocean of love flowing around and in and through me. God is real and he is perfect love.

My oldest brother overdosed on drugs as a teenager. My dad would try to talk to him about the Lord. He would never listen, when he died he said he was in utter darkness. He was falling, he was on fire, but it was pitch black. He said he would finally hit the ground, and then it was like he pulled back up and it would start all over again. He could hear thousands of people screaming, crying. He said the smell was horrific. He smelled like sulfur and burning flesh. He said he can still smell it to this day. He was brought back to life. He is now 62. If you bring it up to him today, it's like it happened yesterday.
This has so much important information about Jesus and the accuracy of prophecy in the Bible that most people don’t know about but is so powerful when you do hear it. God bless you Shawn for using your platform to share this.
John's book "Imagine Heaven" brought me so much comfort after we lost our baby daughter. I'm very excited to listen to this.
I’m so sorry to hear this may Jesus heal your hearts. You will see her again 🙏🖤
I don't understand how this show continues to get better given the level it is already at
Bc unlike other Shawn actuals listens and give what the people -also- want.

@@ThePercipient Just as you are when it comes to being an attempted negative influence. Negative energy passes on as more negative energy. Which means you have a negative aspect and/or experience in life. And you gain no happiness downing others, just a minuscule ego boost if successful but rarely it is. Typical sad human trying to pass on the hate. Have a great night buddy I hope you can not be a doushebag and be happy one day
The phrase "I dont know" is extremely UNDERused in the ministry. The fact of the matter is, there are MANY things we just don't know. That's why we are called to have a relationship with our Creator through Jesus Christ.
We in the ministry need to assure our brothers and sisters that sometimes (most times for ME) we just don't know. Not only does that show honesty, but also helps make the brother/sister in Christ feel better that you BOTH have that in common.
Kudos to John Burke for not trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
I agree. Almost a relief to hear him say I just don't know instead of making something up. I am convinced that none of truly know what this bigger picture is, especially all of the churches, but I believe whole heartedly we are missing a way bigger picture here. It is probably just too unfathomable for us to comprehend.
Nicely said! I also find that the "I don't knows" also help people draw nearer to God. The hope is "if Pastor doesn't know, I will ask God myself."
Amazing interview. 20 years ago, God allowed me to travel to Sheol and what Revelation describes as the New Jerusalem with the street of gold. Life changing and now Im writing a book about my testimony.
@ShawnRyanShow One day while driving with my 3year old daughter in the back seat just learning to talk, my wife and I were talking about her sister that had passed away about a decade or so at that time. We didnt mention her name but talking about lupus the disease she died from. From the back seat we hear my daughter say, "Who? and says my wifes sisters name and goes on to tell us that she met her before she came down to earth to be born.
Wife and I just got silent and looked at eachother like what did we just hear from our 3 yr old. We are Christians and it still gave us goosebumps.
I've heard similar things from other NDErs. That God creates us and we are learner and explorers. We come to the Earth to experience things we can't in paradise and to learn so we may learn to overcome fears and love more. One person said God described it to her like this: "imagine you are a stone." He then proceeded to materialize a stone and a lake in front of her. He then says "you are the stone." And he skips it across the water. She knew that the ripples were her thoughts and actions in the world and how even the smallest things impact others negatively or positively. Another said imagine you grew up eating in a Michelan star restaurant. Eventually you'd get bored. So you eat at McDonald's for a week and then go back and now it's the best thing in the world again. We need to be somewhat apart from God for a time to appreciate His glory fully when we return.
Shawn ryan, i love u man. You are just being real and genuine. Something we are truly missing in todays podcasts
It definitely is refreshing! ❤️

Or, are starting to see in abundance…
I have had many real encounters with the Lord. He is so good to reveal so much! The first that rocked my spirit was in a dream ten years ago. I’d been bedridden for 9 months. I was very sick. I could feel myself slipping away. I was afraid to fall asleep. I eventually began to accept that my time was coming. Jesus came to me in a dream. He told me He knew my heart; don’t give up, keep fighting. I obeyed and I’m still here. Praise God! I struggle everyday, but He is teaching me to suffer joyfully.
My dad recently passed away unexpectedly. The Lord has been so faithful and loving, providing much comfort and confirmation that my dad is with Him. I asked Him for a dream about my dad and He gave me the most incredible dream that same night! Hallelujah! I fell to my knees and praised Him in my dream after speaking to my dad and His angels. I also asked Him how I could lead others to Him and He answered me in a dream that same night.
He showed me what it felt like to die separated from Him. It was an indescribable terror. I was in water with a magnificent light above me. I was reaching for the light, but was dragged down into outer darkness. The fear alone felt like it would kill me. I described it to my mom, telling her that if we felt that level of fear here, our hearts would stop. In His mercy, He woke me up pretty quickly. I woke up choking, coughing, gasping for air and weeping. I prayed, begging Him to never separate from me and He gave me so much peace, I fell back asleep with ease.
I prayed about it for two days. I was listening to a random sermon and the pastor talked about outer darkness where men’s hearts will fail them for fear, but with a body built for destruction, we will endure an eternity of suffering and torment. I didn’t know that was in the Bible until I heard that sermon. The dreams and messages He gives me always line up with scripture and it’s usually scripture I’m not yet familiar with. I recently learned of Job 33:14-18 that speaks about the Lord speaking to us through dreams and visions. He is always speaking to us, we are just not always listening.
Jesus Christ is real! He is the way, the truth and the life! The Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, King of kings and Lord of lords! The Great I Am! Thank You Jesus! I’m not worthy of His grace and mercy, yet He still provides.
Father God, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, let this interview draw Your children unto You. Let their hearts of stone be replaced with hearts of flesh. Let them seek You, know You, love You and honor You all the days of their lives. Let their minds be transformed and renewed in Your Word - the Word made flesh. Let those with ears to hear and eyes to see, hear and see, Lord! I pray this in the Mighty, Majestic, Matchless Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Amen and Amen and Amen!
I had no idea who this guy was, I just clicked on this video because I know I'm guaranteed to have an interesting time watching any Shawn Ryan interview, but wow I did not expect this to be so incredibly eye-opening and mind-blowing. I was raised a Christian, have considered myself a Christian all my life, but I have very rarely ever actually FELT any of it. I believed it with my mind but I have never felt touched by God, and I've always felt kind of distant from the kind of love that so many new converts tend to describe.
This video, and the testimonies John shared, were some of the first times I have ever felt close to truly glimpsing the love God has for me. Thank you Shawn for doing this interview, and thank you John for sharing all these stories. I am sure it will touch many hearts, not just mine.
By far the best interview I've ever seen, I can't wait to go home to Jesus
My dad died in 1985 and somebody gave my mom some books by a doctor who researched NDE before then. He traveled the earth interviewing people who experienced NDE. These people lived in the Brazilian rain forest to Saharan Africa and all parts in between, remote parts of the earth where their idea of death couldn't match our western expectations. In 1992 my young wife died from a rare pneumonia, I read those books. What John Burke is describing matches what I read all of those years ago.
Everyone needs to watch this episode!! Currently on my fourth time watching! I went from drug addiction at an early age, to professing my life to satan, to ending up in prison for manslaughter and assault, to coming back to God. I foolishly couldn't kick a few habitual sins, but, once i did...true freedom. In every way possible. praise Christ.
This is the best podcast I have ever listened to and I am a seriously seasoned podcast enthusiast. This has truly changed my perspective on Christianity and have started my journey. It’s so comforting to know that heaven exists and to shape my world to ensure that I reach that place by believing in god, Jesus and the. Holy Spirit ❤

I have worked in Cardiovascular and Pulmonary rehab for 15+ years and have heard multiple stories like these, thank you for shedding light on the topic! It is the greatest miracle and event you can ever experience..
@joeborg3322 ya if you can recall it and speak to it like these patients… it’s life changing for the Adults that hear it..
Imagine Heaven brought this middle aged man to tears. Strengthened my faith in Christ! Thank you for having him on!
Pretty easy to imagine considering Heaven is a state of mind and Christ is consciousness....
Same!
@Featherless1 no. Heaven is a literal place and Christ is a person, both the son of God and son of man.
You're hearing testimonies of people meeting Him. Don't be the fool that Jesus warned against when the rich man begged Abraham to have God send Lazarus back from the dead to warn his brother in Luke 16. You better wake up or a greater condemnation will come upon you.
@@Featherless1 and yet I know Christ. He lives within me, walks with me, and I have seen His power in my life. It isn't cultural conditioning, especially when the new age is hell bent on twisting everything to a distorted lie. The only cultural conditioning I ever see are the new agers and Christ deniers constantly gaslighting us to believe what is false and deny Christ. Millions of believers are persecuted around the world, going against culturr, and your only response is 'cultural conditioning?' The fact that that is your first response IS cultural conditioning. Do you not think the enemy knows you will come back from time to time? Do you not think he can set up simulations to make you believe it's all good? I implore you to hear the testimony of Bryan Melvin. He explains that, too.
Please wake up
@@AE-pv9vc do you think fish know they are in water...? 😂
I was raised, baptized, even confirmed in a Lutheran Church, and graduated from a Christian Academy. I knew religion was BS the whole time. Religion only survives by brainwashing the young. But I have never not once denied Christ. The Apostle Paul shares the sacred secret of the Christ within. I also suggest you read the book, "God-Man, the word made flesh".
Christ is consciousness. The word Christ was derived from the word Christos, which is a chemical in your brain. Heaven and Hell are states of consciousness. Not places you go when you die.
So are you receiving consciousness or manufacturing it..? Consciousness is a symptom of the soul, something that is beyond this material manifestation, eternal and original. The soul is the eternal form of the individual living entity, as you can see in the reflection of this material world. No two leaves are identical so no two personalities are identical. The soul is the personality and the personality is the actual form of the living entity. So we are not of the universe, only our current bodies. We are not born into this world, we are born out of it like a leaf is born out of a tree. But we are not humans experiencing the universe, we are the universe experiencing humans.
You are a bio-holographic, precipitation, crystallization, miraculous manifestation of divine frequency vibration, coming out of water... that's it!
I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.
Most incredible podcast episode!! Thank you for sharing with the world about the wondrous love of Jesus ❤
To captive an audience for hours, in a generation of people who can barely get through a 15 second TikTok video, is a testament to how great this show is! I appreciate your quality and informative content.

Three nights ago I started reading Psalms 91 every night before bed. I had two disturbing dreams. One I clearly don't remember, but I woke up and turned over to go back into yet another disturbing dream in which something was trying to grab me. Something horrible. I can't remember now what it was or looked like. I do remember shouting loudly and long, "Nooooo" and right then - I was yanked with a force that threw my arms and legs out in front of me. I was yanked up and through clouds. I could see and feel the wind rushing by with force. The clouds obscured the evil. I didn't hear anything. No voice spoke to me, but I know who saved me! "Out of my night and into thy calm. Jesus, I come to thee." Thank you for having him on your show. This is a witness that you can not deny.
Psalms 91 is my absolute favorite verse of the Bible
Shawn, you have no idea how much this testimony has changed my life. Especially now when I am going through a TERRIBLE time in my life.
I truly feel God every day.
SO POWERFUL
Thanks so much for bringing it to light
I have recently been struggling with my faith and anger in the American Christian church and unforgiveness .. a hardened heart.... I have really been seeking through some deconstruction of my faith what the hell is real anymore.... and this was super convicting and I repented today and just prayed and prayed Jesus Lord please help me be who you want me to be... please help heal my trauma and forgive my disgusting sins... so freaking disgusting.... I am so thankful to God for this video....
Same here bro. Love the name are you a maiden fan? If so Up the irons broskii
We are all in a state of becoming better at letting Christ work in our totally messed up lives. It's a process, a journey. The difference happens when we start loving God with everything we have, and lose our ego, having love for our brothers and our neighbors. Thank you Shawn, keep going brother.
I know All to well...Coming From An Extremely Dark Perverted life, to seeking God, Left that lifestyle alone, And Doing way Waay Better with Christ...I am truly a Testiment of What the Love and the Power of Jesus can Do...He's been so Faithful to me, even when I wasn't, and that Love Won me over for Life 🙏🏽❤️☝🏽🙌🏽🕊🌍🌏
@SD_Chosen Awesome testimony! God is the answer to every issue and Jesus is definitely the way, the truth, and the life!
Ditto
And what a journey it has been.
When we begin to truly "fear" God in the upmost reverence because He is a very Holy "God" and we are not, that is the beginning of our transformation. Like you said, we begin to lose our self-centered egos and begin to be God-centered and love Him very very much ❤
This has increased my faith in God. Thanks for uploading this interview.
Can’t wait to see my animals I’ve lost when I get there. That part of the podcast gives me a lot of peace and excitement. 🐶 🐱 🩵
please bro stop killing your animals 😭
After listening to this for an hour and other teachings on Jesus, God has again for the hundredth of times, rekindled my heart towards 😊Him. He never gives up on us.
We just lost my mother too a heart attack at 54, this is very very hard on my family. I hope to be with her again one day❤️❤️
You will without a doubt see your mother again if you have faith. God wants these things for you. Im sorry for your loss.
The best Shawn Ryan podcast ever so far. ❤
This podcast brought me back. I have put jesus christ back into my heart and my life has been perfect ever since. I will spread the word!!!
Do it! 👍❤️
Hallelujah ❤
This interview was a turning point in my faith after a long trail of efforts made by God to bring me back to him, and I want to say thank you Shawn Ryan and John Burke.
@ShawnRyanShow
I was supposed to be asleep two hours ago but I just can’t stop listening to this podcast. We need more guests like this!
Best night’s sleep you never had…I get it…it’s totally worth it
1:40 Before my mother died of Alzheimer’s she told me calmly “I just saw Jesus “, then I asked her what He looked like. She told me “Kind and Caring”
I’ve needed this episode. Been struggling spiritually. Great timing
God will always give you/everyone an opportunity when you pray especially
All you need is to focus on positivity and repetition causes habit
Jesus loves you
Struggle and darkness are part of spiritual growth as God's permits trials in order to get us to trust completely in Him and to dissolve our ego-centeredness. Peace ❤
Amazing show and interviews and questions. Keep up the great work Shawn! God is seeking you deeply for a relationship and using you as an instrument to reach out to millions!
I’ve never felt the presence of the Holy Ghost more then when I was watching this. I love you Jesus!
I was not raised in a religious household, never went to church with my family as a kid. But I always had dear friends through out my life who would invite me.
Most of the time I would never go, but sometimes I took them up and went to church with them. I never really went with the intention to learn but more to be social.
I would have great philosophical talks with these friends sometimes and they never were preachy about it.
I continued to live my life as if god was a myth or a construction.
One day, when I was at my lowest with nobody to blame but myself.
I reached out to god and prayed for him to show me how to lift myself out of the misery I was in.
I had never truly opened up my heart to god in a genuine way until that night I prayed for his guidance.
I will never forget the moment.
I was FLOODED with the most loving, comforting, accepting feeling.
Coming from deep inside me, it was intoxicating. It was as if god had reached out and put a hand on my shoulder and whispered in my ear “it’s okay, you’re okay”
I’ve been religious ever since and I can see all the ways god was talking to me and communicating with me my whole life, Guiding me to him.
Sometimes I do not “hear” god when I’m looking for answers. I think he knows when he needs to give you a nudge and when you need to do things on your own.
But I know he is watching over me and steering me exactly where I am needed no doubt in my mind.
1:57:49 Luke 15:3-7 “In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away” GLORY!!
Man what an interview! Thank you for doing this, for all of us to hear🙏🏻🫶🏻
I had a NDE in Memphis TN. I was in the dark space that illuminated Love, piece and sense of belonging and had a feeling of moving out of the darkness more towards the illuminated feelings. But then I heard a very loud rapid sounding bell and went back into my body. Two weeks prior to that experience I was having trouble breathing and every time I walked my heart would beat extremely fast; I would take deal breaths but could not get oxygen. I asked the Hotel to call me an ambulance after the NDE and was rushed to the hospital in Memphis. Turns out I had Severe APlastic Anemia My hemoglobin was slightly below 2.0 I basically ran out of blood cells because my immune system attacked my stem cells. I had a bone marrow transplant and got healed but I’ll never forget those feelings I experienced during the NDE. GOD is good and GOD loves everyone despite being a fallin nature.
Ok my husband listens to you daily, and you’ve truly changed his perspective on life as a husband, father, and Christian. I somehow believe this episode is for me!! Like others are saying, how do you keep getting better? Thank you and all your guests for all you do!
I know the reasons why I left and went on the wrong path but a near death experience changed my life that has put me on a path to believe in God and Christ with daily prayer , thank you Shawn for this episode
So glad you touched on psychedelics. When people dont understand blended senses or ego death, they have never done strong psychedelics. 5-meo-AMT and DMT will make you question life and the universe . You KNOW the secrets of the universe instantly but you cant take it with you. I was floating in a space 🌌 of galaxies and stars , with 3 bright lights. One white, one blue, one red. One was me, one was God, and one was love.
God is Love , is the message i took back home .
And i fully believe Jesus died for us and has given us the gift of eternal salvation.
Excellent episode Shawn, thank you sir. And thanks for your service.
I had a NDE after overdosing on cocaine I was hovering above my body & watching my 2 neighbors who 1 was a nurse put Narcan up my nose I was right back in my body within seconds. Please for those out there who r not believers our soul lives on. That happening to me made me a better person I'm not afraid of death I know where I'm going. Thank u John & Shawn for a amazing episode ❤️ ❤️
That’s an amazing story but Narcan is useless for a cocaine overdose
@@jasonbritt2497exactly. Idk what this dude is talking about
I have just recently began the journey to faith. And a friend sent this to me and these stories are so wholesome. The child who said,” I will pray for you.” Just brought me to tears. All my life, I have never thought I would be a believer. I love you guys all in the comments! And all can be forgiven!
"But from there you will search again for the Lord your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him" - When he said that along with the story near the end of the video, it hit me really hard. My wife is an atheist and I am christian. I only went to church at christmas and eastern. 1 year into our relationship I got more distressed every day about her not believing and about life itself, wether gods exist or not. But i really loved her. Just one day of the blue i was thinking about it again, and suddenly I had this instant and imprinted message in my head to go to the Church. I remember thinking 'no', but another message in my head followed it up saying that I had to go to the church next sunday. It was a friendly, warm but strict message. I told my wife i wanted to go to church and she agreed to go with me. And the message of that day was about christians who are in a relationship who does not believe and that this was ok. I felt such a relieve after this service that i got answers. I am now married with my wife, we have a beautiful daugther. I was months in distress, but God decided, in all his perfect timing, to speak to me in that very important week.
I am by no means a good christian, but I am now getting to know god and jesus more than ever. God is love, never forget this.
I could listen to this all day. Love that with every story the main story is Jesus is lifted up and exalted.
