What happens when the dream you built your life around becomes the place where everything stops? Nils Glenn spent years chasing soccer, only to collapse on the field when his heart suddenly failed. As doctors fought to save him, Nils says he saw himself standing in darkness until Jesus reached for him and showed him a kingdom still ahead. What followed was not a clean, easy recovery, but a painful confrontation with fear, identity, and the fragile line between life and eternity. In this episode, Nils shares the story of his cardiac arrest, his second near-death scare, his love for the supernatural layers of Scripture, and the calling he believes God placed on his life. His testimony is a sobering reminder that God can meet us at the edge of death and send us back with purpose.
