In this video, meet Keith — a small-town pastor who preached for over three decades just outside Columbus, Ohio. Week after week, he stood behind a simple wooden pulpit, speaking about the cross with conviction, teaching grace as if it were air, marrying couples, praying over newborns, baptizing believers, and comforting grieving families at gravesides. People leaned on him for answers about God, pain, and eternity, and he gave them the calm, steady voice of scripture.

But inside, Keith was weary. Not just physically, but spiritually — the ache of a soul that kept showing up even when the fire was gone. He smiled, preached, and prayed while feeling a hollowness where intimacy with God used to be. The words of hope he spoke over others became the very hope he was begging God to let him feel himself.

Then his body began to fail. Chest tightness during sermons, dizziness, trembling hands. At fifty-six, Keith’s heart was slowly failing. Hospitalized and forced into stillness for the first time in years, memories of decades of ministry flooded him. Communion Sundays, altar calls, baptisms, funerals — a life poured out in service. He thought he was ready to go home to God.

He had no idea what was about to happen next.

Watch as Keith recounts his powerful Near-Death Experience (NDE) — what he saw, what Jesus revealed to him about the Church, and why his story will shake everything you thought you knew about faith, ministry, and eternity.
