The Story
Darren Shinabarger was a 41-year-old auto sales consultant and father when he suffered an aortic dissection on May 13, 2018. The emergency started with sudden chest pain at a casino, leading to collapse outside the hospital and a seven-hour surgery. He fell into a coma for a month. During the crisis, as medical staff rushed him to surgery, Darren felt himself dying and yelled for his deceased father. He entered a black void filled with despair, cold, and hopelessness, sensing no presence of God. He screamed, 'Jesus, save me.' A white light then engulfed him, bringing comfort and love. He saw beautiful souls in vibrant colors beyond the human spectrum, feeling welcomed and at home. A tall light figure showed visions of his son's life, prompting Darren to say, 'Not yet,' and return. After waking, Darren became a firm believer in the afterlife and Jesus Christ. He gained humility, learned to walk again despite a limp, and now sees inner beauty in people. He shares his story to inspire others to embrace their God-given light.
