In this video, meet Bartholomew Abery, a former lead pastor who spent 32 years leading Grace Community Chapel in Ashton, Maine.

At 63 years old, Bartholomew believed he had it all figured out. Under his leadership, the congregation grew from 20 members to over 900. He was known for his contemporary worship, engaging youth programs, and what he considered solid Biblical teaching. Every Sunday, he would preach the simple message of salvation through faith alone, telling people, “Just believe in Jesus, and you’re saved.”

His life seemed perfect—living in a beautiful Victorian house, surrounded by family and friends, respected by the community. But everything changed on January 14th, 2022, after a life-altering near-death experience (NDE). In this video, Bartholomew shares the shocking truth he discovered during his time in the afterlife. He reveals how his understanding of Christianity was turned upside down, leading him to reevaluate the very foundation of his faith.

Watch as Bartholomew opens up about his journey from spiritual pride and casual Christianity to the discovery of the ancient Christian faith. His story will challenge your beliefs and inspire you to reconsider the path to salvation.
