Are Heaven & Hell Real? Former Buddhist's Near-Death Experience: 8 HOURS In Hell (From "After Death") | Ep. 34
Steve Kang was a fervent Buddhist trying to reach Nirvana... But at the age of 19, after overdosing and believing he had no choice but to end his own life, he vividly experienced heaven and hell - and heard God's audible voice - which changed everything.
Steve's near-death experience (NDE) was featured in the recent film After Death, whose director Stephen Gray we interviewed just last week.
This week, join us as we dive deeper into Steve’s story, including:
- What led up to his near-death experience (and second NDE later)
- What exactly hell and heaven looked, felt, even smelled like
- The invaluable insights and lessons that have completely changed not only his whole life - but also his family and countless others in his life.
⚠️ WARNING: This episode includes brief mentions of suicide & graphic descriptions. Listener discretion is advised.
