In this special episode, John and Kathy Burke explore how the way you imagine God--His heart, character, and attributes--shapes every part of your life. The thoughts you hold about God are the most important ones you have, because they influence how you see yourself, others, and the world around you. How can near-death experiences help us better understand what Scripture reveals about God’s true nature?

John and Kathy share insights from years of studying NDEs and introduce the Imagine the God of Heaven Devotional - a companion to Imagine the God of Heaven designed to help you live out its powerful truths every day.

Through daily scriptures, guided prayers, handpicked NDE stories, and inspirational teaching, this devotional will help you experience deeper peace, renewed purpose, and a closer connection with God--while cultivating a joyful anticipation for the Life to come.

Can modern neuroscience point us toward the reality of the soul? In this compelling conversation, neurosurgeon Dr. Lee Warren joins pastor and author John Burke to explore the intersection of near-death experiences, brain science, and faith.

From his time as a brain surgeon in the Iraqi war -- where he faced trauma and later endured the devastating loss of his 19-year-old son -- Dr. Warren has sought both scientific and spiritual answers to life’s biggest questions.

Together, he and John dive into:

• How neuroplasticity and epigenetics reveal the power of our thoughts to shape our brains--and even future generations
• Why free will vs. determinism matters for our understanding of the human spirit
• How trauma and PTSD can be healed through intentional thought and God’s promises
• Why near-death experiences align with the truth of Scripture about heaven and eternity

Don’t miss this fascinating episode that blends hard science with profound hope, showing how we can truly be “transformed by the renewing of our minds.”

What began as a fun day on the lake with a friend ended in tragedy when a jet ski accident took 19-year-old Riley Huddleston’s life. In that moment, she was transported to Heaven, where she discovered a "lit" new life and a God more personal and loving than she ever imagined. But amid the joy and wonder, Riley received a startling message from God — one that would quickly turn the best day of her life into the worst. In her first-ever interview, Riley shares her near-death experience with John Burke — and the urgent message she now carries for her generation.

Susanne Seymour and Heidi Barr died tragic deaths as children, and Dr Mary Neal drowned. However, they never experienced fear, panic, or the suffering their loved ones imagined they had. They all were rescued and removed from the scene before the suffering began, and instead felt safe and loved in the arms of Jesus. In this video, they share powerful words of comfort and hope for the parents and families grieving the loss of their children and loved ones from the July 4, 2025, Texas Floods.

Savannah Muse spent her twenties immersed in Wicca and Pagan beliefs. But in 2023, her heart stopped for 16 minutes - and she saw something that shattered her worldview. In this live interview, John Burke explores her powerful near-death experience and what transformed her spiritual path forever.
