When Fr. Pine found himself lost in the Swiss Alps, he was running low on time and even lower on hope for finding a way out. But after a series of prayers, God moved in a profound and sentimental way, helping rescue him at the eleventh hour.
In another wonderfully ecumenical episode, Fr. Pine and Ryan Bethea discuss the wildernesses of our own lives, the search for purpose and meaning, and how even a healthy reflection on death itself can motivate us to live the fullest lives God desires for us.

On this week’s Heaven Meets Earth, author and pastor John Burke returns to share some of the most sobering and eye-opening accounts from his decades of research into near-death experiences—this time, from people who died and encountered hell.
Burke has interviewed and studied over 1,500 people across cultures, ages, and worldviews who clinically died and came back to life with detailed accounts of what they saw and experienced in the afterlife. While many describe beauty, peace, and overwhelming love in the presence of God, a smaller yet significant number encountered terrifying separation, darkness, and despair.
In this powerful conversation, John explores:
What these experiences reveal about the reality of hell
How God’s justice and mercy coexist
Why these stories point to hope, not fear
What Scripture says about eternal separation from God
How these encounters radically changed the lives of those who had them
Whether you’re a skeptic or believer, this episode will challenge you to consider eternity in a whole new light.

After rising to the peak fame in the adult film industry, Joshua Broome was ready to end his life—until a radical encounter with Jesus changed everything. In this powerful episode of Heaven Meets Earth, Joshua shares his raw, unfiltered journey out of the pornography industry and into a life of freedom, beauty, and purpose. He opens up about the toll that life took on him—and the heartbreaking truth that he personally knows 43 people from the adult film world who have taken their own lives.
We also explore the wider impact of pornography on our culture:
The average age of first exposure to pornography is just 11 years old.
An estimated 64% of Christian men—and 15% of Christian women—say they watch porn at least once a month.
But this story is not about shame—it’s about finding freedom. Joshua’s life is living proof that no one is too far gone for the grace of God. Today, he’s a passionate preacher of the gospel, a loving husband, and the joyful father of four beautiful children, walking in healing and flourishing in Christ.
✨ No matter your past, there is hope, there is healing, and there is freedom in Jesus.
