"Go Back, Your Work's Not Done!"

What would it take for you to die — not once, not twice, but thirteen times — and come back with something to show for it?

In this electrifying episode, host Eric Bennett sits down with Greg Halpern, a Chicago-based judo world champion turned serial entrepreneur who has survived 13 Near Death Experiences that would have broken — or simply ended — anyone else.

It starts at age five (NDE #1), when a post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage sends young Greg bleeding into the night and straight into a boundless space of warm, infinite light, where a deep, commanding voice tells him to go back because there's work to do.

Each successive NDE Experience, he explains, felt less like a brush with death and more like a controlled transmission — the universe systematically clearing his mind to receive something extraordinary.

By the time his 12th NDE hits in 2005 — a lungful of chlorine gas from a pool canister that felt like a blowtorch down his throat — Halpern had long stopped expecting to die.

Then came Near Death Experience number thirteen — a ruptured appendix, three days of misdiagnosed food poisoning, a six-hour surgery for full-blown peritonitis, and a fatal over-medication that flatlined him in his hospital bed. What he saw in that darkness was chilling: a vision of global destruction centered on 2023, and an urgent message that he had been sitting on world-changing information for too long.

In this powerful episode of Round Trip Death, host Eric Bennett welcomes Tammy Julien, who shares a Near Death Experience (NDE) she kept hidden for nearly 40 years.

During a home birth gone wrong, Tammy hemorrhaged and found herself outside her body — watching the emergency unfold below while feeling absolute peace and love.

Her NDE took her through extraordinary encounters of love and compassion. "The love was going into the Earth."

After returning, Tammy spent decades quietly integrating her NDE experience into everyday life, finding few people who could relate to what she had witnessed. Over time she channeled her NDE into a spiritual practice — guiding others into deep presence, writing, and following the same inner voice that has intervened in her life since childhood.

Her closing message from her NDE is simple: we are never truly alone, invisible support surrounds us always, and the breath is the most direct path back to that truth.

Sally's NDE: "I Wanted To Stay!"

Her second NDE (near death experience) came in 1999 when a horse launched her backwards, snapping three vertebrae in her neck — this time she met mysterious figures called "the Council" who informed her she had a divine mission. Her response? A hard NO.

The Council spent decades pestering Sally to fulfill her spiritual purpose, which she resisted so hard she once preferred nearly dying of swine flu over complying.

The jaw-dropping miracle from her second NDE? A year and a half after her broken neck should have left her paralyzed or dead, X-rays showed zero evidence the fractures ever existed — leaving her doctor yelling "how are you still breathing?!"

Sally eventually struck a deal: skip the prophet role, teach people to find their own inner truth instead. Her greatest takeaway from the NDE experience? Death isn't something to fear — it's more like a warm welcome home where all your questions finally get answered.

After collapsing from a catastrophic abdominal sepsis infection, Bridget was unknowingly being killed by an antibiotic allergy that sent her fever soaring to 107 degrees. When she overheard nurses say she wouldn't survive until morning, she made a desperate leap of faith — and what happened next would change everything.

The NDE: As the life left her body, Bridget's hospital room exploded with a blinding, all-consuming light, and she found herself face to face with Jesus, and who she would later identify as Archangel Michael.

Looking in Jesus' eyes, the love she felt was so far beyond anything human language can capture. She woke up knowing exactly which drug was killing her, walked out of the hospital the next day, and has spent her life since trying to share that love with everyone she meets.

The message from her NDE is simple and powerful, God has ultimate faith in humanity, and it's time we started acting like it.

Heart Stopped for 7 Minutes! Cara shares her NDE publicly for the first time.

During a high school soccer playoff game, a ball struck her in the left temple with such force that it stopped her heart for seven minutes. The moment she lost consciousness, she found herself floating above the scene, watching her teammates and parents — not as physical bodies, but as brilliant, swaying flames of light. She felt an overwhelming sense of pure love, complete freedom from fear, and a profound sense of being held by the universe.

At the conclusion of her NDE, coming back to her body was jarring — cold, fluorescent, and heavy with all the emotions she had briefly escaped. Diagnosed with brain damage, Kara faced a long road of healing, but the experience quietly transformed her. It ignited a lifelong obsession with the mind-body connection, eventually leading her to yoga, which she found could reconnect her to those same feelings of peace and love.

The central message from her NDE (near death experience): the love she experienced on the other side is fully accessible to us right now, if we can quiet the noise of fear, worry, and self-doubt long enough to feel it.

BEST EPISODE of The YEAR! Riley Courtwright shares her two Near Death Experiences (NDEs) publicly for the first time.

Riley was a lifelong atheist, diagnosed with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome that led to her organs shutting down, and ultimately her NDEs. Over the course of 18 months, Riley died twice — the first time at home after being sent away by doctors with no further options, and the second time seven months ago in St. Thomas, where she and her husband had moved so she could spend her final days.

During both NDEs, Riley describes traveling through a cosmic wormhole, receiving telepathic downloads of universal knowledge, reuniting with deceased loved ones, and hearing otherworldly music and trumpets.

During her second and more profound NDE, Riley recounts being in the direct presence of God — described as bigger than the cosmos yet intimately personal — sitting in his lap, watching him expand the universe, and being shown heaven, hell, and a vision of the end of the world.

She also describes a surprise encounter with Jesus after her husband baptized her in the bathtub just before she passed. Most remarkably, Riley returned to life after being clinically dead for 50 minutes,

Pronounced dead and resuscitated after his heart stopped, Jason spent a month in the ICU — and during that time had a profound out-of-body experience (OBE) in which he felt he merged with God and encountered Jesus.

A lifelong skeptic who had abandoned God at age nine after a violent, abusive childhood, Jason returned from his NDE transformed. He now speaks about unconditional love, the absence of judgment on the other side, spirit guides, life contracts, reincarnation, and the ongoing spiritual odyssey — including homelessness, angelic encounters, and quantum timeline shifts — that has defined his post-NDE years.

During his NDE, David experienced leaving his body and going to a heavenly place. "It was like walking from one room to another."

In this powerful episode, David Cooke shares a life-altering near-death experience (NDE) he had at just seven years old after falling 75 feet into a canyon.

Clinically lifeless and placed in a coma for eight days, David recounts vivid out-of-body experiences, including watching doctors work on him, floating above the hospital, and entering what he describes as a heavenly realm.

From his NDE, he describes overwhelming peace, weightlessness, and unconditional love—feelings far beyond anything experienced in the physical world. At a gate guarded by an angelic figure, David was told it was not his time and that he still had a purpose on Earth.

Despite wanting to stay, he returned to his body—regaining consciousness against overwhelming medical odds.

Now decades later, David reflects on how his NDE shaped his faith, eliminated his fear of death, and gave him a deep sense of purpose and peace about what lies beyond this life.
