Finding God in a Near Death Experience with Jeremy Downs

My guest today shares his near-death experience with us and how it increased his faith and gave him a closer look at God. Like many believers, Jeremy Downs was done with empty religion and heard-them-before “motivational speaking” sermons. He wanted to experience a spirituality that sparked life, one that was meaningful.

He tried switching churches. He tried praying. Somehow, God was always at arm’s length, distant and untouchable.

Then Jeremy took a pile of Amanita muscaria mushrooms—a legal substance known to deepen perspective and creativity. Although he hadn’t taken them to solve his spiritual longings, they sent him in an unexpected direction. An accidental overdose nearly killed him, taking him.

As Jeremy was launched beyond the edge of this world and into the next, his mind raced as his body slowly shut down. He watched as everything and everyone he loved in life was stripped away until, at last, he stood in his Creator’s presence. A Creator who acknowledged all Jeremy had lost and said, “None of this is relevant.”
