  • The Unbelievable NDE That Erased 30 Years of Memory

    The Unbelievable NDE That Erased 30 Years of Memory
    Nov 20 2025
    What if you died… met God… saw Heaven… and then woke up believing it was 1969? That’s exactly what happened to Doug Knake.

    One moment, Doug was slipping into darkness, chased by terrifying beings that looked like silhouettes made of fire. The next, a presence filled everything around him — powerful, peaceful, unmistakably God — saying, “Do not be afraid. I am with you.”

    In an instant, he was lifted into a world bursting with color, a city bustling with life, streets and buildings he couldn’t describe. A place so alive he didn’t want to leave. God showed him the effect of all his choices, then told him he had a purpose still to fulfill on earth. But God wasn’t finished.

    He sent Doug back to his body — and Doug woke up in 2006 with no memories of the past 30+ years. Not his wife. Not his job. Not even the existence of modern technology. He remembered Heaven… but not his own life.

    This is one of the most shocking and moving NDE stories we’ve ever shared — a real-life “50 First Dates” journey of love, loss, identity, and the presence of God that never left and redeemed it all with love.

    A Special Message: Connecting Into God's Presence
    Oct 24 2025
    In this special episode, John and Kathy Burke explore how the way you imagine God--His heart, character, and attributes--shapes every part of your life. The thoughts you hold about God are the most important ones you have, because they influence how you see yourself, others, and the world around you. How can near-death experiences help us better understand what Scripture reveals about God’s true nature?

    John and Kathy share insights from years of studying NDEs and introduce the Imagine the God of Heaven Devotional - a companion to Imagine the God of Heaven designed to help you live out its powerful truths every day.

    Through daily scriptures, guided prayers, handpicked NDE stories, and inspirational teaching, this devotional will help you experience deeper peace, renewed purpose, and a closer connection with God--while cultivating a joyful anticipation for the Life to come.
