The Next Breath: Life After Loss & Journeys Into The Hereafter w/Darnella Ford

Does consciousness survive death? Darnella Ford, award-winning author, speaker, and consciousness explorer, joins Justin and Erik on ParaTruth: Reborn to explore one of humanity's greatest mysteries: what happens after we die? For more than two decades, Darnella has consciously explored out-of-body experiences (OBEs). Following the traumatic loss of a close friend in 2021, those experiences took on an even deeper meaning and eventually inspired her bestselling book, The Next Breath: Life After Loss and Journeys into the Hereafter. In this conversation, we explore: • What an out-of-body experience actually feels like • OBEs versus lucid dreams and near-death experiences • Whether consciousness can exist independently from the brain • Encounters beyond the physical body • Skepticism and spiritual discernment • Grief after devastating loss • What may happen immediately after death • Life reviews, reincarnation and soul evolution • Quantum Theory and consciousness • Whether our loved ones truly remain with us • How contemplating death can change the way we live Darnella doesn't ask listeners to simply accept her conclusions. Instead, she encourages curiosity, discernment, and contemplation as we explore questions that may not have easy answers. Join Justin and Erik as belief meets evidence, and we search for the truth beyond human understanding. Some truths are hidden in the dark. We're here to bring them to light. Guest Bio: Darnella Ford is an award-winning author, speaker, and consciousness explorer who has spent more than two decades consciously traveling beyond the body through out-of-body experiences (OBEs). Drawing from these profound experiences, she explores life after death, the nature of consciousness, soul evolution, and the deeper purpose of our human journey. Through her bestselling book, "The Next Breath: Life After Loss and Journeys into the Hereafter," podcast interviews, retreats, and private sessions, Darnella invites others to approach life's greatest mysteries with curiosity, discernment, and hope—offering not beliefs to adopt, but insights for reflection and contemplation.

Ghosts Explained: What Are We Really Experiencing? w/J. Allan Danelek

Are ghosts really the spirits of the dead—or could something far stranger explain centuries of paranormal encounters? On this episode of ParaTruth: Reborn, Justin and Erik welcome author J. Allan Danelek to discuss his book Ghosts Explained and explore the mysterious territory between absolute belief and cynical skepticism. Across cultures and throughout history, people have reported apparitions, strange voices, unexplained footsteps, intelligent interactions, and locations seemingly haunted by past events. But calling something a “ghost” doesn’t necessarily explain what happened. We explore: • What consciousness might tell us about survival after death • Interactive vs. non-interactive hauntings • Residual hauntings and whether events can somehow leave an imprint • The psychology surrounding paranormal experiences • How a haunting might actually work • Ghost hunting equipment and what it really measures • Spirit communication and its limitations • Whether some alleged ghosts could have completely different explanations • Dangerous or negative entities • The evidence that keeps Danelek from both blind belief and complete skepticism J. Allan Danelek has written numerous books on paranormal, spiritual, historical, and Fortean subjects and has appeared on programs including Coast to Coast AM. His work encourages readers to investigate extraordinary claims while remaining open to possibilities we may not yet fully understand. 👻 What do YOU think a ghost actually is?

Supernatural South: Ghosts, Cryptids & Southern Gothic w/Sherry Malaver Parada

What really lurks beneath the Spanish moss? The American South has produced some of the strangest supernatural legends in the country—from ghosts and witches to bizarre cryptids and unexplained objects in the sky.

Seven Minutes Beyond Death: John J. Davis' Journey To The Other Side

At 21 years old, John J. Davis suffered a serious moped accident that required surgery to repair torn tendons in his hand. During the operation, John experienced a severe allergic reaction to the anesthesia and was clinically dead for seven minutes. John says those seven minutes became a vivid and detailed journey through the other side—a place of indescribable peace, love, and clarity. During the experience, he believes he was given an assignment to return and share a powerful message: there is no death. In this episode of ParaTruth: Reborn, John joins Justin and Erik to discuss what he encountered, how the experience transformed his Catholic upbringing, why his understanding of faith became more personal, and what he believes awaits us beyond physical life. Some truths are hidden in the dark. We’re here to bring them to light. Guest Bio: John J. Davis was born and raised in San Jose, California, where his early life was shaped by strong family values and regular attendance at the local Catholic church—sometimes two to three times a week. His upbringing instilled in him a deep spiritual foundation, one that would later be transformed in a profound and unexpected way. At the age of 21, John’s life took a dramatic turn following a serious moped accident. The crash resulted in torn tendons in his hand, requiring surgical repair. During the operation, John experienced a severe allergic reaction to the anesthesia and was clinically dead for seven minutes. It was during those seven minutes that John had an extraordinary and life-altering near-death experience (NDE). According to John, what he encountered was not just a fleeting vision or abstract sensation, but a vivid, detailed journey—a tour of the other side. He describes it as a place of indescribable peace, love, and clarity. During this experience, John was given what he now sees as a divine assignment: to return and share what he had seen, to tell others that there is no such thing as death. He came to understand that our physical bodies may perish, but our souls continue on eternally. John eventually moved to Colorado, where he continues to reflect on and speak about his experience. Though he still believes deeply in God’s love and the teachings of Jesus, his faith has taken a more personal and spiritual path, one less bound by traditional Catholic doctrine. He honors the essence of Christ’s message while stepping away from some of the dogma he once accepted without question. Today, John Davis lives with a sense of purpose rooted in his near-death experience. He shares his story to provide hope to others, offer reassurance about what lies beyond, and to spread the simple, powerful message he was given: There is no death.

UFOs, Spirits, and The Nature of Reality w/Dr. Jonathan Kendall

Are UFOs spacecraft from distant planets—or manifestations from another level of reality? Dr. Jonathan Kendall joins ParaTruth: Reborn to discuss his book, The Metaphysics of UFOs, which examines the physical and spiritual nature of UFOs and related unexplained phenomena. Dr. Kendall is a board-certified physician specializing in internal medicine and nephrology. His medical background gives him a unique perspective when considering potential physiological, neurological, and psychological explanations for extraordinary encounters. During this conversation, we explore: -The limitations of the extraterrestrial hypothesis -UFOs and parallel realities -Connections between UFOs and spiritual encounters -Abductions and altered states of consciousness -Similarities between abductions and near-death experiences -UFO encounters and poltergeist activity -Cryptids and Men in Black -The possible survival of consciousness after death -How physics and metaphysics could intersect -What these experiences reveal about the nature of reality The question may no longer be whether we are alone in the universe. It may be whether we truly understand the universe—or reality itself. Guest Bio: Jonathan Kendall is a medical doctor, board certified in Internal Medicine and Nephrology, and an author and independent researcher of consciousness, religion, spirituality, and anomalous phenomena. In his writings, he approaches these controversial subjects with the same scientific rigor that has served him in fifteen years of medical practice in Eastern Kentucky. Jonathan has authored two books. His most recent volume, The Metaphysics of UFOs, published by Llewellyn Worldwide, examines the evidence underlying UAPs, ultimately reaching the conclusion that a litany of compelling cases establishes the authenticity of the phenomenon while presenting a challenge to conventional views of reality. In Seeing the Messiah, published by Resource Publications, Jonathan presents the findings of more than a century of psychical research on apparitions, and compares the phenomena to the reported postmortem appearances of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and Jesus Christ. Combining the scrutiny of scholarly resources across the fields of medicine, psychology, theoretical and quantum physics, psychical research, ufology, and theology, Jonathan’s primary aim in writing is to generate meaningful conversation regarding some of life's most profound mysteries, including the understanding of spiritual experiences, the question of postmortem survival, and the nature of reality itself.

Beyond the Final Breath: Exploring Near-Death Experiences

What happens when the heart stops, the body begins to shut down, and a person appears to cross the threshold between life and death? In this episode of ParaTruth: Reborn, Justin and Erik explore the mysterious world of near-death experiences. From out-of-body observations and encounters with deceased loved ones to tunnels of light, life reviews, and overwhelming feelings of peace, people from many different backgrounds have reported remarkably similar experiences after coming close to death. Are these encounters evidence that consciousness can exist beyond the physical body? Could they be visions created by a brain under extreme stress? Or are near-death experiencers briefly seeing a reality that normally remains hidden from us? We examine some of the most common elements found in NDE accounts, consider both spiritual and scientific explanations, and discuss what these experiences could reveal about consciousness, the soul, and what may await us beyond the final breath. What do you believe happens when we die? Join the conversation in the comments. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/paratruth-reborn--6273542/support.
