Colton Burpo describes meeting Jesus and hearing angels sing during near-death experience
Colton Burpo, whose childhood near-death experience inspired the best-selling book and film "Heaven Is for Real," has recounted the episode in a new interview on Sean Hannity's podcast. Burpo describes an emergency medical crisis he suffered at the age of three, during which he says he visited Heaven, sat on Jesus's lap and heard angels singing, an account that became the basis of his family's widely read memoir exploring questions of faith and the afterlife.
The interview appears on a forthcoming episode of the "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" podcast, in which Burpo revisits the details of his experience and its lasting effect on his life and beliefs. His story, first published in "Heaven Is for Real" and later adapted into a Hollywood film, has remained a prominent example in popular discussions of near-death experiences and religious testimony.
