When Heidi Barr was 16, a tragic horseback accident stopped her heart — and began the most extraordinary journey of her life. In this powerful conversation with Shaun Tabatt, Heidi shares her true near-death experience (NDE) — leaving her body, meeting Jesus, sitting on the Father’s lap, and returning forever changed.

As a hospice nurse and lifelong follower of Jesus, Heidi also reflects on what she’s learned about life, death, forgiveness, and the hope of Heaven. Her new book What I Saw in Heaven dives deep into how her encounter with God transformed everything.
