Speaker 3 (00:52):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
I'm Sandra Champlain. For over twenty five years, I've been
on a journey to prove the existence of life after
day up. On each episode, we'll discuss the reasons we
now know that our loved ones have survived physical debt,
and so will we Welcome to Shades of the Afterlife.

(01:12):
Before we dive into today's conversation, I have some very
big news. Our documentary Evidence of the Afterlife, saving Evidential
Mediumship is now available. It's been two years in the
making and you can stream it now on Apple TV
and it's soon to be on other platforms. I'm the

(01:33):
producer of this film, which is dedicated to delivering undeniable
proof of survival after death and restoring the integrity of mediumship.
In our film, you will see my friends and the
incredible mediums Carrie McLeod and Phil Dyke's demonstrate specific personal
evidence that cuts through all doubt that we survive death.

(01:56):
If you are grieving, if you are skeptical, or if
you simply need your knowing confirmed, this film is for you,
and I'm in the film. Simply go to Apple TV
and search evidence of the afterlife. Now to our episode today,
we are at that time of year when we're all

(02:17):
thinking about new beginnings. We make resolutions to eat better,
exercise more, save money. But what if we make a
different kind of resolution this year? What if we resolved
to create the space for miracles. We often talk about
the miracle of life after death, the survival of consciousness,

(02:37):
but what about the miracles that happen right here, right now,
within our bodies. If there is a world of spirit,
a world of energy and intelligence that is greater than
our physical reality. Shouldn't we see moments where the impossible
becomes possible? So today I am going to share a
conversation that proves exactly that. Two years ago, I was

(03:01):
introduced to Angel Studios through their incredible film After Death,
which explored near death experiences. You can go back to
episode one hundred and fifty seven to learn about that.
But now they have released a new streaming series called Miracle.
Each episode of Miracle uncovers true, documented stories, moments that

(03:24):
defy logic, science and skepticism. And we're talking about medical
impossibilities that have left doctors stunned. And our guest today
isn't just documenting these stories, he has lived one. Joshua
Silverberg is the series executive producer and music supervisor. He
is a chart topping songwriter and producer whose work has

(03:46):
been featured in major films like Spider Man and earned
him Grammy and Emmy nominations, But his most important title
might be Survivor. I want to mention this is a
very different kind of near death experienceparience. It's a miracle
of physical recovery, not just of spiritual travel, and it's
a powerful testament to us being divine souls having a

(04:10):
human experience. In our conversation today, Joshua shares the scary
story of his own battle with a deadly illness. He
was given a choice by doctors admit, defeat and die,
or fight an impossible battle. He chose to fight. I
believe stories like Joshua's are vital for all of us

(04:31):
as we step into a brand new year, because when
we can believe that miracles are possible, there is power
that can rewrite the rules of life, and it becomes
so much easier for us to believe that we are
so much more than our bodies. It reminds us that
we are part of a loving, intelligent, and most importantly

(04:52):
miraculous universe. So if you're ready, let's open our minds
to the impossible. Here is Joshua Silverberg.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
I live in Nashville. I've came down here in two
thousand and nine with my wife. At that time, Nashville
was very affordable, so we moved down, started a family,
got into business. At that point, I was an artist
and I was coming off of the touring season. I
did two records with Universal, and then we moved more

(05:21):
into now than pursuing like songwriting and production. So did that,
was signed to a capital for a few years as
a songwriter, then moved into a TV film music, so
music on Spider Man Homecoming and Emoji Movie and all that.
Lots of great stuff out there, And in twenty twenty
I started a company. So now we have producers and

(05:44):
songwriters kind of passing down the knowledge of what I
learned over the years and doing the same. One of
the things that you might find interesting or different about
our company were called savage Sinkhouse. And the reason why
we're called savages is that's what someone called me one
time when I was in a coffee shop and I
asked them, Hey, it seems like you might want some prayer.

(06:07):
Do you want some prayer? I believe God could heal you.
And then he looked at me and said, we're going
to pray here like a bunch of savages. He was
meeting it as like an insult in some way, but
I was going, wait, I'm a prayer savage. That is awesome.
I love that. I'll pray for anyone, anytime, any place.
Let's do it. So we passed down that same culture,

(06:28):
believing in the impossible and seeing that. Yep, I love it,
I really do.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
And you know, people get into all kinds of things
at their own time. I was the biggest diehard skeptic.
Wasn't even open to the fact of life after death.
We had to see it to believe it. And even
though I grew up in church, I went another way.
So it takes some time. That's just our adventure of
being human. But as far as music goes, I know

(06:53):
we could do a whole probably three hour episode or
more on all the music that you've done. But I
do know soul to soul music has an opportunity to
just touch a place in us that words can't, reading
a book cannot, and you just get it by music.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Yeah, I believe that. So it's like a universal language, right,
any language you speak, you definitely speak music. I may
not understand your dialect, but if we start playing music,
we're all on the same page. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Before we get into your story more and what happened medically,
I saw a YouTube video not too long ago about
a I think he's a French fellow who goes around
and plays his guitar in different zoos and two different
animal sanctuaries, and he plays easy going music, beatles and
different things like that. But in every video, the animals

(07:44):
come out of hiding wherever they are. They come right
up to the edge of the fence and they just
drop and they listen. It doesn't matter if it's an elephant,
an iguana, a giraffe. The guy says, the only animal
that doesn't respond is an alpaca. But it just tells
me that all sentient beings music binds us. You know,

(08:04):
it's beautiful. Yeah, absolutely, what happened with you medically, because
I believe you have a story to tell there.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Well, we all know what COVID was, and we all
know how wild that was. I'll take you to where
I'm already in the ICU, so I'll skip the in
and out of hospitals and treatment and all that stuff.
This is where it was bad, bad, bad for me.
So I had COVID and fast forward to the ICU,

(08:32):
and I was there for about four or five days.
At this point, my oxygen was seventies and below. They
did scans and they told me I had black spots
forming on my organs, and essentially what that means is
just your organs are failing. And at this point I
have no function of my body, so I can't do anything.

(08:53):
I can't go to the bathroom like at all. Probably
a breath or two away from death is what it
felt like, if you can imagine the in and out
breath capacity. So what I had was just the tiniest
in and the tiniest out, so all I had to
breathe was just this, and I didn't know which one

(09:16):
was the last one. And that was the state that
I was living in because the oxygen was so loud
around me, and I had these machines kind of moving
my legs so they don't get blood clots. I started
making up these games in my mind to like pretend
I wasn't there. So the oxygen kind of reminded me
of a jet engine, so I'm like, I'm not here,

(09:39):
I'm on an airplane. And then the in and out
I would try to make up songs are games. I
could do one in, one out, two in, one out,
one in, two out, and I would do these little
things in hopes to get my oxygen number to go up,
because they were telling me over and over, if it

(09:59):
doesn't get up seventy, you're not going to live. So
I'm watching that thing and it's not getting above seventy,
so I have double pneumonia. Also during COVID, there was
this substance. It's mysterious. It's just this goody substance that
would kind of cement the lungs. My lungs were just
pure white, just gone. So this is when the ICU

(10:20):
doctor walks in and he goes, you have two choices.
You can die here or we can put you on
a ventilator, but it's not going to help. What do
you want to do? And I looked at him and
I said no. And he said, people like you don't survive,
so do I not have legal permission to treat you?

(10:43):
And I said, okay, I understand you have legal permission
to treat me, but it's not going to go that far.
And what it felt like is if you ever seen
the cartoons where the devil has a contract and he's
just waiting for you to admit to sign some things,
sign your soul away. It really felt like that moment,

(11:04):
like if I admitted to dying, I would So I
just knew my gut, the spirit of God, everything was
telling me, no, don't admit to dying, otherwise she will.
So I didn't in long story shore, I'm here, but
how I got here is wild, like it doesn't sound
real even when I share it, it doesn't sound real. But

(11:26):
this is really what happened. I'm not a crazy person.
I'm a professional, Like I'm not checked in a mental hospital.
This really did happen. Just to let everyone know. So
this is what happened. Next, and so we are in lockdown,
so my wife can't visit me, right, no one can
visit me. I'm not getting any visitors. We're completely isolated.

(11:47):
This is during the second wave of COVID, so the
end of October twenty twenty one. Everything's really really locked
down at this point. So I get to the point
where they're like this guy, it's like they don't even
know how I'm still alive. So they almost stopped checking
up on me. They were just waiting for me to die.

(12:08):
And I know it sounds rough, but you can feel that.
They're like, come on, we need the bed, like it's
your time to go, Like why aren't you dead yet?
And then they're like, all right, well, we're going to
transfer this guy into a different ICU to be put
on life support. And not to prolong the story, but
a friend of mine like this is also, what are

(12:28):
the chances a friend of mine was a nurse who
just happened to work with that floor. There is something
to be surrounded like for people for listening to me,
there is something to be an environment where people want
you to live that they believe and they want you
to live what that does for you. There is a
power in believing. It's just a principle across the board.

(12:51):
Belief is so powerful. So I needed to be put
into a place where people wanted me to live, Like
I feel like there's a thous things that needed to
be met for me to get a miracle, and they
all have.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
To We'll be right back. You're listening to Shades of
the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Paranormal Podcast Network. Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife.

(13:35):
I'm Sandra Champlain. We're here with executive producer of the
new series Miracle, Joshua Silverberg, who's about to experience his
own series of miracles after being at death's door from COVID.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
So I needed to be put into a place where
people wanted me to live, like I feel like there's
a thousand things that needed to be met for me
to get a miracle, and they all happen. There's the
story where Jesus raises a dead girl in the Bible,
but he kicks the family out right. And this is
what it felt like I needed. I needed to be

(14:11):
in a room where everyone in that room wanted me
to live, and they just weren't waiting for me to
die and just believing it was a lost cause. So
back to the story. Moment I'm sitting there, they transferred
me from the bed to the chair. I'm upright looking forward.
The ambulances came. They've set up a cot now, so

(14:32):
there's this tiny window where I'm upright, and my friend
Justin walks in and I'm going, huh what. And my
friend Justin says, I'm here to pray for you. And
he's in the hole garb and it makes no sense
how he even got there, because no one's allowed in.
My wife's not allowed in. Well, back to how he

(14:52):
got in. He was watching online and there were some
artists that post about me, and there's a mutual friend,
Kim Moss messages him and says, Yo, Josh Silverburg's going
to die. We got to do something like it's not
looking good for him. So he's working out and he's
having this prayer, like God not him, Like this guy

(15:12):
signs up to give his life away and donates his
time to help people, like he's one of the good
people of earth. Why would this guy die to COVID,
this is not fair? And then from his perspective, he
says he felt God say what are you going to
do about it? And he's like huh, He's like all right,
and then he felt compelled to go and pray for me. Well,

(15:34):
it's such an impossible and these are the impossibilities that
were made possible. One he didn't know the location. Two
he's in Knoxville. Three they're not letting anyone in. He
just knew I was in a Saint Thomas. Well, Saint
Thomas is a chain and they have clinics and hospitals
and many many Saint Thomas's in Nashville. So he drives

(15:56):
looking for a Saint Thomas. He drives three hours praying
the whole kind of angry, kind of mad, and this
is just so awesome. He's not in a place in
his life where he even feels like a good person.
He's going through his own hard stuff. It's COVID, right,
everyone's going through hell at this point. No one's having
a good time. So he is going through his own

(16:16):
life turmoil. But he just feels compelled to go. So
I'm not making this up, guys, listen to this. The
third hospital he gets to, he sees this person and
this person waves him over and this person says, Justin,
how can I help you? And Justin says, you can't
help me, and this person goes, no, how can I

(16:37):
help you? And He's like, I don't think you can
help me. He's like I can help you. How can
I help you? And he's like, okay, fine. He's mad
at this person at this point. He's like, I'm looking
for Joshua Silverberg. It's not like you can help me.
And it's so bone chilling. He's like, Joshua Silverbrig is
not here. He is at a different location. This is

(16:58):
his address, this is the hospital he is a this
is what you say to get in. And Justin is
not even thinking about how impossible this is at this moment. So,
first of all, how would he know my exact rome number.
Second of all, it's not even that hospital. So even
if he was Doogie Houser, and he had everybody's hospital

(17:22):
registry memorized. Like, let's give him the benefit of the doubt.
He's just a genius. He would never have another hospital
location in all the patient registry memorized. Another reason. Do
you know how illegal it is to give that information out,
especially at a time where everything is locked down. Nothing

(17:42):
about that makes sense. And then proceeds to tell Justin
what to say to get in, and what he tells
him to say is hilarious. It sounds like Star Wars.
He says, just tell them you're supposed to be there.
So Justin proceeds to go to location, not even thinking
of how impossible, because at this point he's exhausted. He's

(18:04):
three four hours into the trip. He's at the third
hospital trying to figure out where's Josh Silverberg. He gets
to the new hospital, well, he has to pass these
levels of security all the way to the most controlled
lockdown level where even if you are a doctor on
the floor, you're not allowed in. At this point, it's

(18:25):
federally controlled and very very isolated. This is the worst
of the worst. I see you where COVID people are dying.
You're not allowed in here except for a very few
people of the entire hospital. Well he gets through that
one by continuing to say I'm supposed to be there,
and they're like, okay, sign these documents, put on this suit,

(18:48):
sign these forms. He signed his life away, basically saying
if he goes in and he dies, that's okay with him.
So he goes in and he gets there. He puts
his hand on me, and he says, you're going to live.
He prophesies, I'm going to live. He speaks against a
spirit of death. He says, spirit of death, you get

(19:09):
off of him and be healed in Jesus's name, and prophesies,
I'm going to have a future. So of course he
arrives in that perfect window. Coming to every moment of
this is like an impossibility, the timing of his arrival,
the way that he arrived, the fact that he arrived. Medically,

(19:29):
there is no reason for me to be alive. You know,
everyone like me didn't survive statistically. So he prays for me.
Then I get transferred into the ambulance. So I have
like a nice feeling when he prayed, you know, like
some peace. I may have felt like a warm sensation,
but for me that's not unusual. I've grown just normal

(19:53):
sensitivity to spiritual things. So having a like peace or
presence of God come over me, it just felt normal.
It didn't feel special. And truthfully, the only thing on
my mind was trying to survive. I was like, next breath,
next breath, Well, I make my next breath. That's the
only thing I'm thinking. And I'm just confused, like, how

(20:14):
are you here? I don't know, he says the prayer.
They put me in the ambulance. I get in the ambulance,
and at this point, I think I'm done. Because I
had faith to be healed all the way up to
life support for me, just because I heard all the stories.
That's where the end of my belief. Once I get
on life support, that's when it's over. So that's when

(20:36):
I threw the towel in, so to speak, and I
was ready for what comes next. This is the part
about my near death experience. And so I closed my
eyes and I just have this prayer. I close my
eyes and I go Jesus. I don't feel like it's
my time to go. I have this family, I have

(20:58):
all these dreams in my heart. This doesn't feel like
it's my time. But if it is, I'm coming in,
Let's do the hug. I'm coming in, Let's do the hug.
I'm ready, you know. And I literally let go of
every dream, every attachment, any hope that you could have
for this world, and I put all my hope in

(21:18):
the next world. And I said, Okay, we're doing this.
I'm coming in, and everything like everything when white like white,
white with no darkness, with not a speck of darkness.
And what that means for me, The darkness represents the
evil in this world. It represents anxiety, fear, shame, anything

(21:43):
of this world that's not love, that's not God. It
does not exist like it is zero. It can't exist
in the next world. It can't exist in the mind
of God. What it felt like was the mind of
God moved into the ambulance and our minds were connected.
Like if you were going to jump a car and

(22:04):
your car was dead and you had to put the
thing on the next battery. It was like my mind
got a jumpstart with God's mind. That's what it felt
like happened. The mind of God, the consciousness of God
moved into the ambulance and we were one. Like I
didn't have to guess what God was thinking. I didn't
guess what he was feeling. I knew everything he was

(22:24):
feeling all at once. And some of this might be
similar with all the stories that you have heard. I
just knew it all at once, what he was thinking
towards me. There's no guessing. I feel like here on earth,
the Bible says, we see dimly. It's like we have guesses.
We have these scriptures, we have these experiences, we have

(22:45):
these things. We're trying to figure out what is God?
What is this? What is the meaning of life? But
I had nothing to guess anymore. It was like a
direct connection to the source, and I knew what he
was feeling. And the most shocking part wasn't the peace
or the elation coming over me. The most shocking part

(23:05):
of being connected to the mind of God in that
way was the total absence of worry. So my mind
up to this point in my life, and probably for everyone,
we don't know what it's like to not worry about
something in any giving day, even a good worry. The

(23:26):
first miracle that happened for me. I know we talk
about sometimes these wow miracles, but I don't think we
pay enough attention to these principles that are here. When
Jesus says, have no concern for your life, what you
will eat, what you will drink, what you're aware, because
this is what the pagans do, cast your cares on me.

(23:50):
My burden is light. You know. There's a reason why
he says this. And the first miracle I needed was
the removal of worry. So what happened was worry somehow
was supernaturally removed from my brain. It lasted for about
a month. I can totally worry now, but what I
needed in that moment was the worry to be removed

(24:12):
and even a good concern for my life. I couldn't
make myself concern like I wonder if Aunt Betsy's going
to send me a birthday card, even a good concern.
I couldn't make myself have any type of concern for
my life whatsoever. I just knew whatever was going to
happen was going to be good. I imagine what a

(24:33):
child feels like and they're constantly laughing. So now that
the worry left my mind and really my soul, it
created a space for something else to come in. And
then what came in was joy. So here I am
thinking I may have minutes left to live. I felt

(24:55):
like I was on death row. I was wrongly accused
on death row. And I'm walking to the electrocution chamber.
And that ambulance ride into the life support was my
walk down the death walk, right, So I'm going down
this walk in my mind. But joy hits me and
I start laughing like I am the happiest man on

(25:19):
planet Earth with moments to live. I didn't think I
was healed yet. I just knew whatever happened next, it's
going to be awesome. It's going to be great, and
I have nothing to worry about, and I'm laughing in joy.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
There's more Joshua Silverberg, Miracles and Me coming up. We'll
be right back. You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife
on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.

(26:03):
Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sander Champlain.
We're with musician and executive producer of the new series Miracle.
He last left us in the ambulance, having his near
death experience being connected with the mind of God, which
removed all worries and left him with pure joy.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
So here I am thinking I may have minutes left
to live. I felt like I was on death row.
I was wrongly accused on death row. And I'm walking
to the electrocution chamber. And that ambulance ride into the
life support was my walk down the death walk, right,
So I'm going down this walk in my mind. But

(26:47):
joy hits me and I start laughing, like I am
the happiest man on planet Earth with moments to live.
I didn't think I was healed yet. I just knew
whatever happened next, it's going to be awesome. It's going
to be great, and I have nothing to worry about.
And I'm laughing in joy, and I can imagine the

(27:08):
ambulance guide the EMT being like, this guy's lost as marbles.
This guy has totally lost it. It's probably normal, like
we don't even know how he's alive. It looks like
skeletor he's a breath away from death. This doesn't look
good for him. And then I came out of this experience.
I open up my eyes. I look at the oxygen machine.

(27:33):
I've been hyper focused really for weeks to get my
oxygen number up. I look at it and it says
ninety five, says ninety five, which is a good number
for those people out there. Also, what I didn't know
side know my father in law he asked his neighbor,
what's a good number for someone to have. His neighbor

(27:54):
says ninety five. So he was praying every day for
my number to hit ninety you know. So I know
that it wasn't just Justin praying for me, but Justin
was like a contact point for the spirit. The Bible
instrucks us to lay hands on the sick. There's power

(28:16):
when you lay hands on someone. And one of the
conditions that I needed to be healed was for someone
to lay hands and think about you know, people tell
others if we get three hugs a day, that transforms
your life. If you can give someone a hug a day,
the simple act of this touch, love, power God, What

(28:37):
that does to someone is life transforming. So I'm just
encouraging myself. Who are you going to hug today? Put
it on your list, Go and hug somebody. So back
to the ambulance. I saw the ninety five and my
logical brain did not believe that the machine was working,
and I found it ironic, you know, like for me

(29:01):
growing up in New York being Jewish to send it
felt like an episode of Seinfeld, like this is my
last day. I'm planning on Earth. Of course I'm on
the machine that doesn't work, like my day can't get
any worse. I found it ironically funny, made me laugh
even more, but then it clicked in. I'm like, wait,
this is such a simple machine. I am gonna live.

(29:23):
That was a little bit of light. I know God's character.
Even though I can't move, I can't breathe. My fever
is like one oh six point five and higher. The
pain that I'm receiving is off the charts. It's what
chronic people call hitting the pain threshold. So I've heard
people talk about this, but I've experienced it. Your body
can actually only receive a certain level of pain and

(29:46):
then it kind of numbs out and plateaus and everything
becomes fuzzy. I hear people talking about that. That's where
I was. The pain was so great. Even the inside
of my joints were on fire. Everything was wrong. I
looked at oxyngding machine at red ninety five. I knew
I was healed. It was a done deal, and I
was like, I'm going to my kids will have a doab.

(30:10):
They're not going to grow up fatherless. I'm going to
be here. I'm going to see all the dreams, like
so much left in my heart that I want to do, create, build,
I'm such a builder. I know there's more for me
here to do. And yeah, So then what happened from there?
I don't often tell this part, but I believe it's
important for people to realize even how my healing was progressive,

(30:33):
how it manifested. They put me into the new ICU,
and then that was a totally different experience. These doctors
and nurses, they wanted me to live. I can tell
they didn't believe I was going to live, but they
had so much compassion. And I remember looking at this
one nurse going like, oh, it's okay, I'm out of here.

(30:54):
I'm totally healed, and this nurse just putting his hand
on me, going I really hope, So I really hope.
So I knew he didn't believe it, but I knew
he wanted it, and I felt bad for him. I'm like,
he should have feel bad. I'm out of here. This
is a dumb deal. So I ended up singing this
one Republic song rescue me. I don't know how I

(31:15):
came on it, but every morning, you know, I wouldn't
partner with sickness. At five and o'clock in the morning,
the nurse would come in and they would ask what
I want to do, and I can't move, so I say,
transfer me to the chair, Like I don't want to
lay down on this bed, transfer me to the chair.
They transfer me to the chair. Then I wind up
on this one Republic song and I end up just

(31:36):
singing it every single day. And the course of that
song says, will you rescue me? Will you have my back?
And for me, I knew the answer was yes. I
was rescued. I was one hundred percent rescued from death.
And I would sing that song in tears and I
would progressively get better and better. The nurses come in,
they're like, we're not saying you're not going to die,

(31:58):
and we're not saying we're not put it in your
life support. But something happened last night. You started to stabilize.
We're ordering new scans. So they ordered new scans. The
next day they come in they're like, we're still not
saying you're going to live, but something's happening. The pneumonia's gone,
the black spots on your organs are gone. This is

(32:19):
not making sense. We've never seen this happen. And I'm like, yep,
I'm out of here. It's done. By the third and
fourth day, they're like, we've decided to not put you
on life support and now we're going to reduce the
oxygen you're on. And I'm like, good because I'm out
of here. And then by the sixth day they released
me from the hospital. I see you with no oxygen

(32:42):
needed and to give you even a medical understanding of
my condition. At that point in Nashville, there was only
forty people total that was accepted to this one program.
I was the last of forty in and the first
of forty out. And many people would not get out,

(33:04):
and the ones that did, they would be months and
months of rehab in a wheelchair, and if they did live,
they would be the guy or a girl with an
oxygen tank with major problems for the rest of their life.
And it wouldn't be a long one, you know. And
thankful Lord, I was fully recovered, no long term sickness,

(33:27):
fully recovered. And I would say like it was a
burst of healing. Initially that was very progressive. And then
when I got home, I could maybe walk I don't know,
fifteen feet, and then I would have to sleep for
like two hours. So it took maybe another month or
two for my muscles and body to come back online.

(33:50):
So it was progressive as well. Yep, incredible. Sounds like
a TV show.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
I'm watching called miracle. I know we're here to talk
about that, but the fact that you're so bold, if
you're going to die, I'm going in, let's do this, Jesus,
let's just do this. I'm going in and then to
know that you're going to live and just be bold,
And thank you for sharing that. Every step on the

(34:17):
journey is a little miracle. So it's not just the
part seeing the light or anything like that.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
It's all of.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
It, just giving people hope that there's so much more
and this love is around us and it's real. But yeah,
you had a lot more work to do, so thank
you for sharing that. How did you get connected with
the whole miracle project and let's get into that.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
Yeah. So, interestingly enough, a month or two after I
came out of the ICU, I was asked to do
music supervision for a project called After Death. You mentioned
that and I was like, wait, you guys probably don't
know this, but I just had my own near to experience,
and they're like, well, we think you're the perfect man

(35:00):
for the job. Then, so I helped put together the
inspired By soundtrack on that, and it got me working
more in kind of these faith based films arena. Before that,
I was doing a lot of music everywhere, and it's
kind of neat to see really the excitement and the

(35:22):
quality of content that's coming out with these faith based
studios or great adjacent you know. Amplifying light is what
Angel calls itself. So it's great, like Angel's killing it
and the movies and the shows that are coming out
are amazing. So my work there got around then. Relationship wise,

(35:43):
I also knew another one of the executive producers, Joanne Moody,
so she introduced me to the creator of the show,
Kimberly Clark, and so Ben Kimberly Joann Moody were running
with the project and they invited me in first as
music supervisor, but then as we started talking and they
were hearing all these stories, they're like, wait, I think

(36:05):
two of your stories we want to do. Can you
come in as executive producer as well and help produce
two of the episodes? So for me, that was really
exciting because it was always a dream in my heart
to be involved in the film production as well. And
what they were not aware of is I previously was

(36:26):
working on a show called Miracle and ended up not
working out for various creative reasons. I was really sad
that it didn't work out, thinking that was my time.
I was going to help make this show and it
was called Miracle. I mean, you can't make this stuff up, right.
So they're like, do you want to do this? And
I'm like, yes, I do, Thank you very much, and

(36:48):
now we're off to the races. We're looking at season
two and not season one. The integration of music that
we talked about, like it's so awesome. In each episode
has an artist that really poured a lot of effort
and energy and creating a song that reflects the story

(37:10):
of what we're covering. And then we went even further
and then we created visuals on top of the song
and that's at the end of the episode you get
to see that. And we have amazing artists, amazing songs,
some of the songs have streamed almost up to a million.
I know that the Aryan music videos over three hundred thousand.

(37:32):
I think the Phil Wickham video is the same, just
on the video side on YouTube. So we're getting a
lot of great viewership on there. So that's really exciting
that people are enjoying it. So I encourage you if
you haven't seen the show, first of all, please go
to Angel. The shows are not only emotionally moving like

(37:53):
my story what's up for discussion for season two? But
not only is it emotionally charged and inspiring uplifting.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
We need to take a quick break, but there's so
much more when we come back. You're listening to Shades
of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast,
a paranormal podcast network. Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife.

(38:33):
I'm Sandra Champlain. We're with Joshua Silverberg sharing his own
miracle of full healing after less than one percent chance
of survival. It's brought him to be a part of
the new television series Miracle from Angel Studios.

Speaker 3 (38:51):
So I encourage you if you haven't seen the show,
first of all, please go to Angel. The shows are
not only emotionally moved like my story what's up for
discussion for season two. But not only is it emotionally
charged in inspiring, uplifting, but we've got medical doctors speaking

(39:11):
into it from Harvard. We have some amazing psychologists I know,
we have doctor Henry Cloud who wrote boundaries on it.
We've got these experts of the field speaking into like
why this is a legitimate miracle. Or even with one
of the episodes that we tackled, this guy Micah, who
is Brandon Lake's best friend and producer. Brandon Lake is

(39:34):
a very popular artist who did a song with Jelly
Roll recently that topped the charts. So there's another kind
of integration of our worlds. His producer, who he literally
wouldn't have been able to produce that song if he
wasn't healed. And through a phone call he was healed.
You know, we were on the phone. We prayed. He

(39:57):
was healed of a rare form of autom and they
called the MS up the stomach. So he was throwing
up blood every single day. He lost forty five pounds,
he had to come off tour. He just kept getting
more disabled and more disabled, so his projection was disabled
or death. It was just worse and worse and worse

(40:17):
for five years and nothing was helping. He went to
the Mayo Clinic, he did all the stuff, nothing was helping. Well,
praise the Lord. There is still his hope out there.
If everyone is saying there's no hope, let's turn to prayer.
Let's turn to a solution that maybe you're not thinking about,
and just believe that there is hope even when someone's
saying there is no hope. That's kind of the message.

(40:40):
And then out of that, Yeah, we have these beautiful
music and these beautiful artists that are so integrated, many
with stories of themselves. And then for season two, we're
just gearing up and we're really excited. So, oh wait,
here's the call to action. I'm not good at this
call to action. Go to angel and watch miracles. That's

(41:00):
what you're supposed to do.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Yes, definitely you need to do that. I'm a skeptic
first in everything I do. Very often, if things seem
too good to be true, they probably are. So that's
why I feel like I'm the perfect messenger for my podcasts.
But I still have that skeptical mind. So knowing I
was going to interview you. I thought, oh, you know,
I like this kind of stuff. Let me see. But

(41:24):
my skeptical mind was just always looking for a way.
Could this be something else?

Speaker 3 (41:29):
Right?

Speaker 1 (41:30):
No, it can't. These are medically documented miracles.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
They really are.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
The first episode I think is doctor Brown who had
a brain tumor and has months or a year to
live and just tries everything, and then he travels fifty
thousand miles with his wife, going to faith based things
and prayer things and witnessing other people's miracles, the blind
singing again like mega miracles, and when he gets back,

(42:02):
his tumor is just scar tissue, and he and his
wife go on to study miracles and their whole foundation.
And then I can't remember all of the episodes that
I've watched so far, but even the boy I watched
this morning, and the beautiful song miracle Adrian Carabello is
at his name and the cancer that he had in

(42:24):
his family's story. He went through chemo and went into
remission and then it came back and it filled his body,
and then went in for a biopsy, and this is
after prayer and gone. I'm just getting goosebumps to feel
it and remember it. So I'm excited to watch the
rest that I haven't seen. And then there's a gentleman
who was dead forty minutes on an operating table. They

(42:46):
tried to jumpstart him with the paddles many many, many times,
and he was out and yeah, he had a near
death experience crossed over. And when one of the doctors
kept getting this message in his mind to go to
one more time. And after forty minutes, when this guy
should be brain dead and dead, not only is he
given life back, but he's got full use of his brain.

(43:10):
And these are holy Cow moments, Joshua, these are miracles
beyond miracles. So I thank you for your part and
the whole team of putting this together. I am so
delighted that there's going to be a season two and
maybe more after that. But it really restores my faith
in what's possible. And my own dad, thirty years before

(43:32):
he finally passed, he had a cancerous tumor that was huge,
and he got into prayer. He wanted to do the
work of Jesus every day and he practiced the mind
over body healing, imagining pac Man eating the cancer tumors.
Cancer disappeared, so my dad did a lot of giving

(43:53):
while he was here on Earth. So the whole show
miracle just reminds me and kind of gives me that
extra little sit shot that I need that there's a
much bigger picture going on, a much bigger picture. Yeah,
and also the fact that I've studied a lot of
near death experiences and no matter what people's religious beliefs

(44:14):
or even if they had them prior to they come
back with the sense of that unconditional love, of forgiveness,
of wanting to make a difference for mankind. And I
love that Angel talks about whatever you said about the light.
I don't push beliefs on anybody. I think different cultures

(44:35):
have different beliefs, but like there are different lamps on
planet Earth, but there's only one light. So that's what
I like to say, and that there's such a bigger
picture for all of us. So thank you for sharing that.
So we can download if we don't already have it,
the Angel app on our streaming service angel dot com.
You can sign up right there. What else do we

(44:56):
need to know besides watch it?

Speaker 3 (44:58):
There's that call to action. Yeah, that's everything.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
Well, before we depart, do you have a sense of
what it's all about this journey that we have called life,
death after life. Any thoughts perhaps or words of wisdom
for a traveler who might be just listening the first
time to this.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
Yeah, I feel like at the end of our lives.
And I think if you study this, especially people that
have on deathbed, they never say like, man, I wish
I made more money or I wish I did that thing.

(45:42):
It's always I wish I spent more time with my family,
or I wish I loved my partner better. You know.
So this life to me is learning how to love.
And I believe there's no greater example of love than
what Jesus did for us. So how I absorb love

(46:05):
is I absorb his love and then I use that
to give it away.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
Yeah, thank you for that and just mentioning Jesus. I
have been on a little west lately myself, thinking of
Jesus as the most famous human being of all time,
that somebody who lived over two thousand years ago, that
their message stays strong and while the words and the
resurrection and all that is great, it's really connected to

(46:33):
me that people really listened because of the miracles. I
don't know if that's true.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
Or not.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
But to me, there's lots of good messengers out there,
But to be part of something so bold, so in
your face that one of the reasons the message lives
on Anyways, that's just my christiscent.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
He did back up his words with proof. Yeah, the
proof is in the pudding, so to speak. I consider
myself disciple of Jesus. I love praying for people. On
episode six, for everyone out there, you'll see a story where,
you know, I started praying for people in songwriting rooms

(47:12):
and they got healed, and Micah's led to really hundreds
of people being medically healed. So yeah, I love praying
for healing.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
Love it well, Joshua, thank you so much for being
our guest today.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
Absolutely, it's an honor to be here. I want to
give you a hug through the screen. I feel like family,
So pray blessing for you and for everyone. I pray
that they hug people today, that they feel loved and
they give love.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
That's certainly some easy homework. Give a hug, give some love.
Joshua kind of brushed over that episode six, but that
was the next episode that I had to watch of Miracle,
and it was another Holy Cow moment. Not only is
Joshua in it, but it's how his prayer in his words,
direct impact. Hundreds of people talk about goosebumps. Yeah, each

(48:05):
episode filled with goosebumps. I know this episode is different
from our usual near death experiences where people see their
loved ones, et cetera. But here we are souls having
a human experience, divine souls. It's important to know that
we have divine powers. Now we're in human form, but

(48:29):
we are those souls. If you practice gratitude, that's an
opening for miracles. Keep a log book sometime of those
times that you're really grateful for something, even before it's happened,
and don't be surprised if those things happen. So again,
check out Miracle on the Angel Network. And while you're there,

(48:53):
that film After Death is chok full of near death experiences.
You'll have goosebump almost the entire movie. And as we're
talking about films, I couldn't be more excited that our film,
which has been two years in the works, Evidence of
the Afterlife, saving Evidential Mediumship, is now out there to
