On today's episode, we welcome Dean Braxton, a man whose near-death experience is nothing short of transformative. Imagine dying and then finding yourself in a realm where everything is as it should be—where love, peace, and joy permeate every fiber of your being. Dean didn't just imagine it; he lived it. For an hour and 45 minutes, Dean was medically dead, but during that time, he was very much alive, journeying through the afterlife in a way that only a handful of people ever describe.Dean’s life before his near-death experience was filled with purpose and contentment. As a juvenile probation supervisor in Seattle, he worked passionately in drug and treatment courts, helping kids who were struggling with addiction and mental health issues. He often said that he would do the job until the day he died—and then, one day, he did. What began as a routine day ended in a battle for life after a kidney stone led to a severe infection that shut down his body. It was during this time, while his body lay lifeless on the hospital bed, that Dean Braxton began his extraordinary journey beyond.As Dean described his experience, one of the most profound moments was his encounter with Jesus. "I was looking at his feet, and I just remember saying these words, 'You did this for me,'" Dean recalled. It was a moment of overwhelming love and gratitude that transcended words, where even the feet of Jesus exuded a love so powerful that it filled Dean with a sense of belonging he had never known on Earth.Dean’s description of Heaven was both vivid and awe-inspiring. He spoke of a realm where everything was alive and vibrant—the trees, the grass, the flowers—all welcoming him with joy. There was no sense of time, no fear, and no sorrow, only an ever-expanding love that filled him to his core. "Everything there was glad I showed up," Dean said, describing how even the creation itself rejoiced in his presence.But Dean's journey wasn't just about the beauty of Heaven; it was also a revelation of the depth of God's love. When he asked Jesus about people he thought might not deserve to be in Heaven, like child molesters, Jesus responded with a truth that shook Dean to his core. "If they ask for forgiveness, I forgive them," Jesus told him. It was a stark reminder of the boundless grace that is available to all, a grace that transcends human judgment and understanding.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSBoundless Love: Dean's experience highlights the limitless nature of God's love—a love that is ever-expanding and available to all, regardless of their past.The Joy of Belonging: In Heaven, there is no separation between us and the creation around us. Everything is interconnected in a way that brings profound joy and peace.Forgiveness Beyond Comprehension: The idea that even the most heinous of sinners can be forgiven if they truly seek it is a powerful testament to the depth of divine mercy.In this profound conversation, Dean Braxton not only shares his incredible journey but also offers a glimpse into a realm where the love and peace we all seek are not just present—they are the very essence of existence. His story is a reminder that while we may face trials and suffering on this earth, there is a place where all is made right, where we are welcomed with open arms, and where love is the final word.Please enjoy my conversation with Dean Braxton.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

There are performers that impact your life without you even knowing it and today's guest fits that bill. On the show, we have comedic genius, multi-award-winning actor, writer, producer, director, and television host, Billy Crystal. We’ve seen Billy’s versatile work across all areas in the entertainment world, stand-up, improv, Broadway, behind and in front of the camera, feature films, television, live stages like SNL, and animated movies. It's fascinating how much the man has done over the span of his career---and his lengthy IMDB page is only the tip of the iceberg.Billy’s career took off for his role in the 70's sitcom SOAP, where he played a gay character, Jodie Dallas. This launched him into box office hits such as When Harry Met Sally, City Slickers, Analyze This, and the kids' favorite, Mike Wazowski in Monsters, Inc. just to name a few. Aside from hosting the Oscars® a record nine times and being only one step away from an EGOT, he’s a philanthropist. Billy, along with Whoopi Goldberg and the late Robin Williams created the annual fundraiser stand-up comedy show, Comic Relief, in 1986 that has over the years, raised over $60 million to support the homeless. The late 80s and early 90s were a really magical time for Billy's career. He had the box office hits Running Scared and Throw Momma from the Train. He had scene-stealing parts in the classics This is Spinal Tap and The Princess Bride. There’s the 1989 box office smash hit When Harry Met Sally, starring Billy alongside Meg Ryan and Carrie Fisher. The story follows Harry and Sally who had known each other for years, and are very good friends, but they fear sex would ruin the friendship.You can’t talk about Billy Crystal classics without mentioning City Slickers for which he won a Golden Globes award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical/Comedy. On the verge of turning 40, an unhappy Manhattan yuppie is roped into joining his two friends on a cattle drive in the southwest.Billy's interest in entertainment started way before college. But his decision to go to NYU put some goals into place for him. He was a member of an improv/comedy group in college and soon he started to host solo standup shows. By 1978, he landed his first starring feature film role in Rabbit Test in which he starred with Joan Rivers. Towards the end of the 90s, Billy joined iconic Robert De Niro and Lisa Kudrow in the box blockbuster hit Analyze This and its sequel to Analyze That.Billy’s work transcends generations and Gen Z is his newest fandom; distinctively for his role in Monster Inc. and Monsters University, Mike Wazowski. Monsters University revisits the relationship between Mike Wazowski and James P. "Sully" Sullivan during their days at Monsters University when they weren't necessarily the best of friends.Billy will reprise his role as Mike Wazowski in the Monsters at Work Disney+ series that is set for release later this year.One defining element of Billy’s work, be it writing, acting, or directing is that he pulls from real-life experiences and balances funny and hard conversations effortlessly. Having started out in the business since he was 20 years old, it is absolutely thrilling to watch how he’s knitted together diverse platforms and filed into an accomplished career. This Friday, May 7th, Billy’s newest film, in which he wrote and directed, Here Today, stars himself and the incredibly funny, Tiffany Haddish, will be released only in theaters. These two make a seamless pairing and their chemistry is oh so charming. The intergenerational teaming of Billy and Tiffany tells a love story that is of friendship, support, and empathy. I absolutely LOVED the film. Do yourself a favor and go out and catch this gem of a film. When veteran comedy writer Charlie Burnz meets New York street singer Emma Payge, they form an unlikely yet hilarious and touching friendship that kicks the generation gap aside and redefines the meaning of love and trust.Billy has always been there to make me laugh, in good times and bad. I can not tell you what an honor and thrill it was getting to sit down and speak to a filmmaker, writer, and actor that has meant so much to me in my life.Enjoy my entertaining conversation with Billy Crystal.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.
