#311 - Jack Is Dead for 4 Minutes and Spends The Time In Hell
What Researchers Found
The Story
Jack Gregory, a man from West Yorkshire, UK, with a history of adoption, abuse, addiction, and homelessness, experienced a near-death event in March 2015. He suffered clinical death for four minutes due to type two pneumonia, tuberculosis, pleurisy, and an environmental disease caused by years of drug abuse and chemotherapy for Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. During the NDE, Jack entered hell, a dark, empty version of the world without God. He felt immense guilt and shame for his past, heard demonic chants and Satan's laughter, and endured torment that left him feeling soulless. He saw himself in the hospital bed and the nurses' station but found no tunnel or light. After revival, he had a breakdown but saw Jesus at his bedside, accepted him into his life, and felt light return. After the NDE, Jack healed physically as his rash vanished and he regained weight. He stayed sober for nine years, married, raised a family, wrote books on trauma, consulted on films about addiction, helped survivors of abuse and trafficking, pursued church ministry, and embraced forgiveness, transforming his life with purpose and hope.
