Latter Day Radio: Near-Death Experiences, Witnesses for a Hereafter #1

Latter Day Radio, now podcasting from The Intersection of Faith & Freedom.

Paul writes in I Corinthians, “As in Adam all men die, so in Christ shall all men made alive.” (I Corinthians 15:22) That, of course, is the great promise that all Christians–and others–long for: that death is not oblivion, that we shall live again, and more importantly, be reunited with those we love.

As we have discussed in our segments on intelligent design, there are many people, particularly secular humanists who scoff at such an idea and smirk, finger waving and reminding us how naive we are, that wishful thinking cannot make it so, that we better just grow up and face the facts: dead is dead.

Then, every once in awhile, they or a loved one come very close to “passing to the other side” and then come back…from somewhere. In these segments that we are now posting as podcasts, Martin Tanner and GM Jarrard are joined with people who have had such experiences, or at least witnessed others who have. We’re not offering these as convincing arguments that this church or that church is true: rather, we are offering these stories as evidence that not everything that’s reality can be seen with our natural eyes or heard or felt. Like our podcasts on intelligent design, these segments offer an opportunity for listeners to open their minds and hearts so that they can find hope. And from hope, faith can grow as we ask the question: If there is life after death, if there is evidence of an “intelligent designer, how can I learn more? How can I find out who this designer is? And, finally, what does this Being require of me?”

The first guest on the initial segment is a friend of Martin Tanner; his name is Dr. Melvin Morse, and he is well known for his studies and observations, as a pediatrician, of children who have been clinically dead and then report remarkable experiences that they had while “out of their bodies.” As he explains in his first segment, the little girl whom he called “Crystal” reported things to him while the medical team was trying to revive her that she could not have possibly seen. And, he says, she recalled them in amazing detail. From that first experience, he and his team at Seattle’s Children’s hospital began a longevity study of children whom had been revived and went back and interviewed them. From this experience, he has earned himself an international reputation as an expert on the subject and has appeared on many national talks shows with personalities such as Oprah Winfrey and others.

Originally broadcast on KLO AM1430 in November, 2018, these episodes offer a glimmer of light for people who need hope...hope that can lead to faith. For more information, visit www.latterdayradio.com or send an e-mail to [e-mail].
