A Glimpse Beyond: Mike McKinsey’s Near-Death Experience and the Light That Changed Everything

The James Granstrom Podcast - Super Soul Model series

A wedding week. A sudden collapse. An operating room that opened into something luminous.

In this deeply moving conversation, Mike McKinsey shares the near-death experience that transformed the ruptured appendix into a profound awakening of meaning, faith, and purpose. He recalls the moment he says Jesus took his hand, the breathtaking landscape of living light and domed cities, and the jolt back to a hospital bed.

It’s a story told with honesty and detail — one that gently reminds us there’s more to life than the body.

We explore what came after the vision just as much as the vision itself: pneumonia, ICU nights, and a second encounter that arrived as a quiet but unmistakable voice — tell our story, expect valleys, keep walking. Over two decades, Mike has learned to live by that guidance, listening for small promptings, testing them through action, and meeting scepticism with empathy. His message now reaches millions through podcasts, books, and the near-death experience community.

💡 In this episode, you’ll discover:

• What near-death experiences reveal about consciousness and divine connection
• How to ask for guidance without forcing outcomes
• The difference between blind faith and tested faith
• Why beauty, gratitude, and silence can anchor a restless mind
• How to live with greater peace, purpose, and trust in life’s unfolding

Whether you call it God, Jesus, or the Universe, the invitation is the same:
Pay attention, act on the light you have, and let hope guide your next step.
