  • Beyond Death's Doorstep with John Burke
    May 17 2024

    Embark on an unparalleled exploration of the afterlife with pastor and best-selling author John Burke as we traverse the mystifying realm of near-death experiences (NDEs). Prepare to have your understanding of heaven and eternity challenged as John, once an agnostic engineer, shares personal insights from his spiritual journey and investigates NDEs through the lens of biblical teachings. Our conversation sweeps across the globe, breathing life into stories of people from various faiths who've glimpsed beyond the veil, and the transformative impact these experiences had on their beliefs.

    Witness the universal themes of divine light and redemption through the compelling accounts of individuals whose NDEs transcended their cultural and religious backgrounds. From a Hindu man's confrontation with a Christian heaven to a Muslim Imam's hellish encounter that steered him towards new faith, these narratives are a testament to the life-altering visions that shake the very foundations of our preconceived notions of the afterlife. These stories not only stir the soul but also ignite a discussion on the evidence that suggests our consciousness may extend beyond the grasp of death.

    As we wrap up our enlightening discussion, we zero in on verifiable observations from those who've brushed with the afterlife, sharing insights that defy scientific explanation. Blind individuals seeing for the first time during NDEs, precise descriptions of the material world from the brink of death, and a soccer team's profound interaction with faith and the gospel – these examples compel us to consider the possibility of a reality beyond our current understanding. Join us as we engage with these profound encounters, urging both skeptics and believers alike to reflect on their spirituality with a renewed curiosity and an open heart.

His experiences serve as a testament to the mysterious ways we're summoned to our life's purpose, even when it seems we're furthest from our destiny.

    Kelly doesn't just stop at sharing his transformative journey; he invites us to delve into the profound realms of faith with his upcoming works aimed at combating spiritual burnout and inspiring daily, eternity-focused living.

  • Speaking in Tongues: Revealing the Mystery | Behind The Mike Podcast | Dave, Dewey & Mike
    Dec 28 2023

    Have you ever witnessed the mysterious practice of speaking in tongues and pondered its significance for modern believers? Together with my co-hosts Dave and Dewey, and drawing from my Assemblies of God roots, we tackle the profound nuances of this spiritual expression. We dissect the weighty claim that speaking in tongues is a benchmark of Holy Spirit baptism and how this shapes one's perception of spiritual fulfillment. Through a tapestry of personal anecdotes and theological musings, this conversation seeks to unravel whether this charismatic phenomenon is a hallmark of divine intimacy or a misinterpreted aspect of faith.

    The episode wades through the scriptural sea of speaking in tongues, scrutinizing its original context during Pentecost and Cornelius's encounter, and juxtaposing it against the present-day practice. We shed light on the implications of such experiences and why they should never overshadow the foundation of scriptural truth. As we thread these discussions, the emphasis is on embracing the Gospel's inclusivity and fostering unity amidst Christianity's rich tapestry of worship expression. We invite you to join in on this exploration, share your insights, and enrich the discourse with your unique perspective as we navigate these complex and deeply spiritual waters.
