The enigmatic Job, the long-suffering figure in the Old Testament, posed this eternal question, one that every person, sooner or later, asks: “If a man die, shall he live again?”
Most people would like to think so; the scriptures give us evidence of that. Then, every once in awhile, we meet someone who confirms it because of an illness or accident. They experience what is officially dubbed a “Near-Death Experience” or “NDE.” Later Day Radio host Martin Tanner summed it up with this clever anecdote: “Everybody would like an NDE; they’re just not dying to have one!”
In our second episode about NDE’s, Martin introduces us to not one, but two persons who actually shared the same experience, but from two different perspectives: accident victim Jeff Olson and his emergency room physician, Dr. Jeffrey O’Driscoll.
More than 20 years ago, Jeff Olson was driving back to Salt Lake when he apparently fell asleep momentarily while driving 75 miles an hour on I-15 and rolled his car; his wife was killed instantly along with his infant son; he and his other surviving son were life-flighted to a Salt Lake City hospital where he found himself walking around its halls–disembodied–while Dr. Driscoll and the rest of the emergency team tried to bring him back. Dr. Driscoll testifies that he witnessed the appearance of Mrs. Olson in the trauma room, encouraging the team’s efforts while Jeff Olson witnessed the events in great detail over a long period of time. This second episode on near-death experiences is an inspirational story you won’t want to miss! For more details on this and other Latter Day Radio podcasts, visit latterdayradio.com.
