He now has ZERO fear of death: "It's like walking through a door into another room." Ned shares his NDE experience publicly for the first time.

When a stubborn bladder infection spiraled into sepsis, Ned Barnett flatlined twice in the ER. During his near death experience, he lived three vivid, sequential “lives”:

NDE #1 - Tranquil, dove-gray creative realm where ideas were built and freely shared;

NDE #2 - An ordinary, domestic life that quietly corrected priorities;

NDE #3 - A hyper-real action life as a hostage negotiator and rescue-show producer leading SWAT-style interventions.

On “re-entry,” Ned realized the “hotel” with stark black-and-white ceiling panels was actually the ICU—and his overwhelming drive was simply to call his wife and tell her he was okay.

The NDE completely erased his fear of death, redirected his career toward helping authors, and deepened his Christian faith. He closes with gentle advice for listeners in pain: simple prayers, the Psalms, and the reminder that what we are continues.
