In the #10 spot on Real Talk with Rachael's top 10 countdown, Lee Strobel joins the conversation to talk about his documentary The Case for Heaven and the journey that inspired it. After a near-death experience, Lee—once an atheist and now a passionate Christian—set out to explore what really happens after we die. He shares fascinating insights about the afterlife, explaining that our souls live on and describing two stages: an immediate spiritual state and a final reunion with our resurrected bodies in heaven or hell. Lee also clears up common misconceptions about hell, noting it’s more about separation from God than fire and brimstone. His research into near-death experiences reveals stories that align closely with Christian beliefs, but he cautions against the idea of contacting loved ones who’ve passed. Lee’s big encouragement? Be courageous in your faith—you won’t regret it! If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about heaven, God, or eternity, this conversation (and the resources Lee offers) is a great place to start.
