Is It God or Your Brain: The Science Behind Near Death Experiences

On a special Halloween episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon delve into the world of Near Death Experiences, also known as NDEs.

Near Death Experiences have taken center stage recently as we have learned more about the many people who claim to have had NDEs and those who have been influenced by them.

Julie Row, Thom Harrison and the book, "Visions of Glory," Chad Daybell, the new Angel Studio movie, "Near Death," and more, are drawing a great deal of attention and we felt it was important to learn more.

In the last few decades, the phenomenon of NDEs has been studied with increasing interest. We now know more than ever about the physiology of the brain and it's capabilities. When death is near, the brain has mechanisms in place that can influence all the senses, resulting in some incredible experiences.

Mormonish Podcast shares our research as we look for the truth behind Near Death Experiences. Is it God? Is it your own brain? Is it something in between? You be the judge.
