Welcome to the aggressive life.

What happens when you die?

My friend John Burke thinks he's got a pretty good handle on the answer, and after reading

his book, I think he's got a pretty good handle on it as well.

For 35 years and counting, John's been collecting, examining, and dissecting stories of NDAs.

That is non-descriptive epistemology.

No, I mean, near-death experiences, that's what it was, from around the world.

While these stories come from people all over the map, the similarities he's found and the conclusions he's come to are really pretty astounding.

He's studied over a thousand near-death experiences, and he's compiled his findings into the New York Times best-selling book, Imagine Heaven.

Near-death experiences, God's promises, and the exhilarating future that awaits you.

Yeah, genuine best-selling book on the New York Times list. I want to be a best-selling author

in the New York Times list. So today we're going to get into how he's done that and talk about

heaven. You know, it's one of those questions

that many of us have or maybe one of those beliefs that many of us have, but we don't think about

too much. What about questions I want to throw John's way? Like, am I going to see my pets again?

What about purgatory? Will I know people in heaven? Will I remember my life on earth? Or even this,

how can we even know for sure there's a

heaven and more? So besides being a bestselling author, John has been a really, really close friend of

mine for, gosh, 25 years. He's also the founding and senior pastor of Gateway Church, a multi-site

church in Austin, Texas. John Burke, welcome to the aggressive life. That was an intro I would expect,

Brian. That was perfect. Well, thank you. You would not expect a perfect intro for me,

but I'm thankful that you would have thought that big, John. Yeah. Let's talk about you for a minute.
