Alex & Grace Tran | Christian Life Coaches

We are thrilled today to have Stephen Gray, the director of After Death, with us to unpack one of life's biggest questions (yet one that is far too often ignored): What happens when we die?

From investigating thousands of near-death experiences, After Death is a film from Angel Studios that explores the spiritual and scientific dimensions of mortality with the guidance of New York Times bestselling authors, medical experts, scientists, & survivors & sheds light on what awaits us after death.

Join us as we dive into  key insights from 4,000 recorded NDEs (near-death experiences), his approach to understanding & portraying descriptions of heaven and hell on screen, as well as how to interpret near-death experiences in light of the Bible and life's mysteries.

We hope this conversation encourages you and leaves you with a fresh perspective not only on the implications of death... but also the implications of how we're meant to live.
