In this video, meet Richard Calloway, a pyrotechnic technician with over twelve years of experience. Richard has always been drawn to the art of fireworks—seeing them not just as colorful displays, but as an intricate fusion of science and passion. For him, fireworks represent control, mastery, and the independence that comes from crafting something beautiful and powerful.

Richard’s skill and dedication have led him to work on some of the largest fireworks shows in the country, with the Fortunato Jimenez Fireworks Show being a highlight of his career. This show, a beloved tradition in his town, embodies everything Richard values—precision, skill, and the freedom to create something awe-inspiring.

But Richard’s life would take an unexpected turn when a catastrophic accident during the setup for the show would lead to a near-death experience that forever changed his understanding of freedom. In this video, Richard shares his incredible NDE and the profound, life-changing message he received from Jesus. Watch as he opens up about his journey from self-reliance to embracing a deeper, more meaningful connection to love, unity, and the true meaning of freedom.
