When she overheard nurses say she wouldn't survive until morning, she made a desperate leap of faith — and what happened next would change everything.The NDE: As the life left her body, Bridget's hospital room exploded with a blinding, all-consuming light, and she found herself face to face with Jesus, and who she would later identify as Archangel Michael. Looking in Jesus' eyes, the love she felt was so far beyond anything human language can capture. She woke up knowing exactly which drug was killing her, walked out of the hospital the next day, and has spent her life since trying to share that love with everyone she meets. The message from her NDE is simple and powerful, God has ultimate faith in humanity, and it's time we started acting like it.

Heart Stopped for 7 Minutes! Cara shares her NDE publicly for the first time.During a high school soccer playoff game, a ball struck her in the left temple with such force that it stopped her heart for seven minutes. The moment she lost consciousness, she found herself floating above the scene, watching her teammates and parents — not as physical bodies, but as brilliant, swaying flames of light. She felt an overwhelming sense of pure love, complete freedom from fear, and a profound sense of being held by the universe.__________________________Get 15% off OneSkin with code ROUNDTRIP at https://www.oneskin.co/ROUNDTRIP#oneskinpod #sponsored__________________________At the conclusion of her NDE, coming back to her body was jarring — cold, fluorescent, and heavy with all the emotions she had briefly escaped. Diagnosed with brain damage, Kara faced a long road of healing, but the experience quietly transformed her. It ignited a lifelong obsession with the mind-body connection, eventually leading her to yoga, which she found could reconnect her to those same feelings of peace and love.The central message from her NDE (near death experience): the love she experienced on the other side is fully accessible to us right now, if we can quiet the noise of fear, worry, and self-doubt long enough to feel it.Video Version of This EpisodeRoundTripDeath.comDonate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/Cara: https://www.caravanderbauwede.com/OneSkin Study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38400612/

BEST EPISODE of The YEAR! Riley Courtwright shares her two Near Death Experiences (NDEs) publicly for the first time.Riley was a lifelong atheist, diagnosed with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome that led to her organs shutting down, and ultimately her NDEs. Over the course of 18 months, Riley died twice — the first time at home after being sent away by doctors with no further options, and the second time seven months ago in St. Thomas, where she and her husband had moved so she could spend her final days.___________________________Text ROUNDTRIP to 64000 to get a FREE pocket pivot AND 10-pattern sprayer with purchase of any size Copper Head hose. (message & data rates may apply)___________________________During both NDEs, Riley describes traveling through a cosmic wormhole, receiving telepathic downloads of universal knowledge, reuniting with deceased loved ones, and hearing otherworldly music and trumpets.During her second and more profound NDE, Riley recounts being in the direct presence of God — described as bigger than the cosmos yet intimately personal — sitting in his lap, watching him expand the universe, and being shown heaven, hell, and a vision of the end of the world.She also describes a surprise encounter with Jesus after her husband baptized her in the bathtub just before she passed. Most remarkably, Riley returned to life after being clinically dead for 50 minutes,Video Version of This EpisodeRoundTripDeath.comDonate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/

How can anyone prove their NDE?In this episode of Round Trip Death, host Eric Bennett welcomes back Jennifer Morris for a second appearance to discuss her Near Death Experience in greater depth. ________________Squarespace FREE Trial & 10% OFF purchase:https://www.squarespace.com/ROUNDTRIPCoupon Code: ROUNDTRIP_________________Jennifer, a Midwestern artist and law enforcement professional, suffered sepsis following spinal surgery in January 2022, slipping into a coma while her organs shut down. During her NDE, Jennifer experienced an out-of-body state in the ER before ascending to a spiritual realm where golden orb angels greeted her and told her she was "awaiting a decision." She was reunited with ten deceased family members, shown five newly forming planets millions of light years away, witnessed a disturbing vision of a "lesser hell," and ultimately spoke with God himself — who delivered a dramatic vision of a global "world reset" before telling her she was going back.Since her first appearance on the show three years ago, Jennifer has dedicated herself to researching and validating every element of her Near Death Experience. She matched the five planets from her NDE to NASA data, identified relevant Biblical scriptures — particularly in Corinthians and Psalms — and even discovered a page of quantum physics equations written in her own handwriting that she cannot consciously explain, a phenomenon known as automatic writing. Jennifer also confirmed the identities of three unfamiliar figures from her NDE by looking through family photographs with her mother. Through this research, Jennifer says she can now prove that every aspect of her NDE was factual, transforming a deeply personal spiritual event into something she feels called to share as a mission from God.Video Version of This EpisodeRoundTripDeath.comDonate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/

In this powerful episode of the Round Trip Death podcast, host Eric Bennett sits down with Steven La Russa from Reno, Nevada, to discuss one of the most remarkable near-death experience (NDE) accounts you'll ever hear. In fact it was a shared NDE.In October 2024, Stephen suffered a sudden heart attack with no prior cardiac history while on a trip to Lake Tahoe with his wife Wanda. What followed was a deeply transformative NDE in which Steven blacked out, traveled through darkness into a vast starry space, and neared a white light — all while receiving direct, telepathic messages from God urging him to stop avoiding his spiritual calling and step fully into his life purpose as a healer and coach.What makes this episode uniquely extraordinary is that Stephen's wife Wanda simultaneously had her own experience — entering her own parallel state of darkness and space while lying beside him. The two communicated telepathically throughout the event, and at the moment Steven was ready to surrender to death, Wanda's voice broke through urging him to keep fighting. As Steven neared the threshold of the white light, Wanda began speaking aloud in two African languages and one Indian language — languages neither she nor Stephen know — in what appeared to be intercessory prayer or light language. She had no memory of it afterward, describing it as being "taken over by the Spirit," providing Stephen with undeniable proof that the experience was divinely real.His story is a compelling testament to the reality of the afterlife, the existence of a divine plan, and the transformative power of a near-death experience (NDE) to shatter the false identities that keep us from living the lives our souls came here to live.Video Version of This EpisodeFOLLOW & SUBSCRIBERoundTripDeath.comDonate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/Steven La Russa

In this rich and moving episode about NDE's, host Eric Bennett sits down with David McGinley — psychospiritual specialist, former Lutheran pastor, and 25-year hospital chaplain based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. What begins as a conversation about a rare and life-threatening illness quickly opens into one of the most profound explorations of consciousness, faith, death, and the nature of the afterlife.________________Squarespace FREE Trial & 10% OFF purchase:https://www.squarespace.com/ROUNDTRIPCoupon Code: ROUNDTRIP_________________David has faced cancer four times and as a result has had multiple NDE's, including a full near-death experience at age 27 that he describes as the single most transformative event of his life. Over three decades later, that experience continues to shape everything he does: how he sits with the dying, how he counsels the grieving, how he thinks about God, and how he understands the purpose of his own existence.What makes David's perspective especially compelling is that he has lived on both sides of the hospital bed. David shares the vivid details of his near-death experiences: the grassy hill, the celestial being who greeted him like an old friend, the overwhelming sense of being completely and utterly home, and the heartbreaking moment when he realized he could not stay. He reflects on the painful return to physical consciousness — the feeling of his expanded awareness being compressed back into the narrow confines of ego, language, and linear thought — and the years of quiet grief that followed, before he even had the vocabulary to understand what had happened to him.The conversation also turns to David's work advocating for a richer understanding of NDEs within faith communities, his serious concerns about the expansion of medical assistance in dying (euthanasia) in Canada, and the urgent message he believes near-death research holds for clergy who may be proclaiming hope on Sunday mornings without fully realizing how much empirical support that hope actually has. He closes with a tender, eloquent message of comfort for anyone listening who is grieving the loss of a loved one — a reminder that no one walks alone, and that all the love we have known in this life is preparing us for something even greater.Video Version of This EpisodeRoundTripDeath.comDonate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/David: https://www.davidmaginley.com/https://www.amazon.ca/dp/0995881111?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_FV4S43VSRSSZ3J9J8CC0&bestFormat=true&newOGT=1
