In this video, meet Barbara Holmgren, a 49-year-old woman who had a life-changing Near-Death Experience (NDE) on Sunday morning, August 3rd, 2025. For seven minutes, her heart stopped, and during that time, she journeyed to the other side, where she encountered Jesus. What He revealed to her about the truth of the church and faith forever altered her understanding of Christianity.
Raised in the heart of Oklahoma as the daughter of Reverend Michael Patterson, a Baptist pastor, Barbara’s life was deeply intertwined with the church. It wasn’t just a place she went; it was her identity. She devoted herself to the church, hoping to find the one that truly embodied the heart of Christ. Yet, after being part of eight different churches over the years, she never felt she had found what she was searching for—a church where God’s presence was truly alive and transformative.
Her faith began at age eleven, when she first encountered Jesus during a revival. That moment of salvation filled her with peace and light, but as she grew, cracks began to appear within the church community. She witnessed power struggles, hypocrisy, and a lack of genuine love, which led her to question whether the church was truly reflecting the teachings of Jesus.
Then, in 2025, Barbara experienced an NDE that changed everything. For seven minutes, she was clinically dead. During that time, she stood before Jesus, and what He revealed to her about the state of the modern church shook her to the core. With a mixture of sorrow and love, Jesus showed Barbara how much of what we call “church” today is far from His true intentions. His words pierced her heart and left her with a profound revelation about the nature of faith and the role of the church.
In this video, Barbara shares the powerful and shocking message Jesus gave her during her NDE—one that challenges everything she once believed about faith, church, and what it truly means to follow Him.
