Conversation with Janice Callahan on her post-NDE Insights into the Bible
What Researchers Found
The Story
Janice Calan had a near-death experience six years ago, triggered by an event that led to her clinical death. During the NDE, she closed her eyes on earth and opened them in the presence of God. She saw herself inside Christ, living and moving within Him. She experienced oneness with God and all creation, feeling His compassion and forgiveness. She was told to return and share the experience. After the NDE, Janice felt a strong urge to read the Bible. Scriptures came alive, revealing meanings that matched her vision, like being absent from the body to be present with the Lord. Her faith shifted from fearing hell to embracing a living relationship with God. She gained insights into biblical stories, such as Jonah and Lazarus having NDEs. She now lives in spiritual freedom and shares her story to help others.
