More than 50 years after her near-death experience, Betty Eadie, bestselling author of ”Embraced by the Light,” reflects on what she now understands about God, Jesus, prayer, heaven, and why we're here.

At just 31 years old, Betty experienced what she describes as leaving her body, traveling through a tunnel of light, and encountering Jesus. Her experience would eventually become one of the most widely recognized near-death experience (NDE) accounts, touching millions of readers around the world.

Now, approaching 85, Betty is here for a conversation that goes beyond what happened during her NDE to explore what more than five decades of living with that experience have taught her.

We discuss why we face challenges, the purpose of our lives, what she learned about love and judgment, and whether prayer can really change things if parts of our lives are already planned.

Betty also shares a personal experience involving a recent stroke and why it strengthened her belief in the power of prayer.

I first read ”Embraced by the Light” when I was young, and Betty's words have stayed with me ever since. It was an honor to sit down with someone whose story helped awaken my own spiritual curiosity.

Whether you're familiar with Betty's books or hearing her story for the first time, I hope this conversation encourages you to consider God's presence in your own life.

💬 I'd love to hear from you:  What stood out to you most from Betty's experience or the wisdom she shares today? Let me know in the comments.
