Heather’s story is one of the most sobering and powerful we’ve ever shared. In this episode of You Can Handle the Truth, we continue her testimony as she recounts her near-death experience after an overdose. She says she saw flashes of hell, total darkness, and felt an overwhelming separation from God.
This episode is about second chances, full surrender, and the power of Jesus to save. Heather shares how she found faith, forgiveness, lasting freedom, and why hell is real whether you believe in it or not.
If you’ve ever felt hopeless or wondered if God sees you, this conversation is for you.
