NEW INTERVIEW AND GIVEAWAY ALERT: What if the experience of being close to death didn’t feel less real—but more real?

That’s one of the details that continues to intrigue me in conversations about near-death experiences.

People don’t always describe these moments as a vague feeling or a distant dream. Some say they were as real as sitting across the table from another person. Others say they were more real than this reality.

That raises a profound question: What do we do with an experience someone insists was as real—or even more real—than the life we know?

I’m not suggesting that an experience replaces Scripture. But I do think it’s worth listening when people tell their stories and asking what those stories might teach us about life, death, and eternity.

Sometimes the questions we’d rather avoid are the ones that invite us to look beyond what we can see.

NEW INTERVIEW AND GIVEAWAY ALERT: What if some of the stories we hear about the moments surrounding death are not meant only to fascinate us—but to point us toward grace?

In this conversation, J. Steve Miller and I talked about a remarkable deathbed experience and the questions it raises about God’s love and mercy.

I keep coming back to this thought: how many people have come to faith because they heard a story—or because they had an experience that made them look toward God?

We serve a loving and gracious God who does not desire that anyone should perish.

Could it be that even these extraordinary moments can become an invitation to seek Him?

Sometimes a story opens a door.

And sometimes, through that door, someone finds Jesus.

NEW INTERVIEW AND GIVEAWAY ALERT: We don't often wake up thinking about death.

There are groceries to buy, work to finish, people to call, and a hundred ordinary things competing for our attention.

But when death touches someone we love, the questions we've kept at a distance suddenly feel very close.

What happens when we die?

Is there really something beyond this life?

And are we ready for eternity?

Those are some of the questions I explored with J. Steve Miller, a professor and researcher who spent years studying near-death experiences, deathbed experiences, and the extraordinary accounts of people who have come close to death.

What stayed with me most wasn't simply the mystery surrounding these experiences.

It was where the conversation ultimately led.

Not away from Scripture, but back to Jesus.

Near-death experiences may raise important questions. But our deepest hope isn't found in an experience. It is found in the One Scripture points us toward—the One who said, “I am the resurrection and the life.”

Perhaps that's why conversations about death can become conversations about hope.

There is hope beyond the grave.

NEW INTERVIEW AND GIVEAWAY ALERT: Not everyone comes to faith through the same door.

For some, it may be the beauty of creation. For others, the complexity of life, the reality of miracles, or the extraordinary stories surrounding near-death and deathbed experiences.

What struck me in this conversation with J. Steve Miller is the reminder that if we truly want to reach people, we have to be willing to meet them where they are—and speak to the questions they are actually asking.

Paul understood this. He was willing to become “all things to all people” so that he might reach some.
Sometimes sharing our faith means more than having the right answers.

It means listening well enough to understand which questions are opening someone's heart.

What evidence or question first made you curious about God?

NEW INTERVIEW AND GIVEAWAY ALERT: What if the questions we have about death are actually invitations to think more deeply about life?

This week on God-Sized Stories, I’m talking with J. Steve Miller about something many of us wonder about but don't often discuss: what happens when we die?

Steve came to this subject as a skeptic and spent years researching near-death experiences, deathbed experiences, and the stories of people who found themselves remarkably close to death. What he discovered raised profound questions about consciousness, eternity, God, and heaven.

One thought from our conversation stayed with me:

“The question of eternity ultimately isn't about whether we have lived a flawless life. None of us has. It is about what we will do with Jesus.”

That question is worth sitting with.

This week’s blog explores what near-death experiences may reveal—and, more importantly, how they can turn our attention back to the hope we have in Christ.

NEW INTERVIEW AND GIVEAWAY ALERT: Our children are growing up surrounded by voices telling them who they are.

Social media has an algorithm. The internet has an answer. Culture has an opinion.

But none of those things can tell a child the deepest truth about their identity.

In my conversation with Dave Boden, we talked about something that reaches far beyond screen time and technology: the search for identity, purpose, and belonging.

Because underneath so much of what keeps us scrolling and searching is a longing to know: Who am I? Where do I belong? What am I here for?

As parents and the adults who love the next generation, we have an opportunity to enter those conversations—not simply by setting boundaries, but by helping our children discover that they are more than what an algorithm says about them.

They need to know their worth isn't determined by likes, followers, trends, or what the internet thinks they should become.

They need to know who they are.

And sometimes, that begins with an adult willing to sit beside them and ask the right questions.

NEW INTERVIEW AND GIVEAWAY ALERT: Gen Alpha is growing up in a world that looks very different from the one many of us knew as children.

Social media, anxiety, constant connectivity, the lasting effects of the pandemic, and now artificial intelligence are shaping the way they learn, relate, and understand themselves.

But beneath all the technology and cultural changes are young people who still need what every generation has needed: to be known, loved, listened to, and guided.

In my conversation with Dave Boden, author of Raising Gen Alpha, we talked about what it means to parent and disciple children in a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming—even for the adults trying to lead them.

Our influence isn’t gone.

Our children still need our presence, wisdom, conversations, and example. And as the world becomes increasingly digital, our calling to point the next generation toward what is true and lasting becomes even more important.

NEW INTERVIEW AND GIVEAWAY ALERT: What happens when a child knows how to swipe before they know how to use a book?

Dave Boden shared a surprising observation about Gen Alpha: teachers are seeing very young children come into school who instinctively try to swipe or tap the pages of a physical book.

It’s a small moment in this incredible interview, but it points to a much bigger conversation about how screens are shaping the way our children learn, focus, and experience the world.

And now, with tools like ChatGPT able to summarize a book in seconds, we have to ask an even deeper question: What are our children losing when technology does the thinking for them?

Technology itself isn’t the enemy. But our children still need the patience to read, the curiosity to discover, and the ability to wrestle with ideas rather than simply receive answers.

This is part of a much bigger conversation about raising Gen Alpha in a rapidly changing world.

NEW INTERVIEW AND GIVEAWAY ALERT: We’re raising children in a world many of us never had to navigate ourselves.

Screens. Social media. Anxiety. Artificial intelligence. A constant stream of information and influence coming at our kids before they’ve even had a chance to figure out who they are.

In my conversation with Dave Boden, author of Raising Gen Alpha, we talked about what it means to love, lead, and disciple a generation growing up in an increasingly digital world.

One thought especially stayed with me:

“As the world becomes more artificial, we have to become more human.”

That means listening. Being present. Asking questions. Building trust. And most importantly, modeling godly character and helping our children discover the truth and hope found in Jesus.

This week on God-Sized Stories, we’re talking about Gen Alpha, anxiety, technology, AI, faith, and why parents still have more influence than they may realize.

NEW INTERVIEW ALERT: Love rarely begins with grand gestures.

More often, it arrives quietly—with a warm meal, a thoughtful gift, a listening ear, and the unwavering message that someone is seen, valued, and deeply loved.
That's the heartbeat of Scarlet Hope.

While many people see places where hope seems impossible, Rachelle Starr and her team see women created in the image of God. They walk into the adult entertainment industry not with condemnation, but with compassion—bringing the love of Jesus to women who may have forgotten what unconditional love feels like.

The gospel has always moved toward people, never away from them.

Perhaps that's what makes this ministry such a powerful reflection of God's heart. He meets us where we are, not where we think we ought to be.
