The Story

nde accident very_positive Major Transformation 9/10 Intensity

Randall Wrathben had a near-death experience after crashing his car on August 30, 2002. He left his body and felt chained, hearing a voice claim him for hell. He experienced fear and saw scriptures that warned him of his fate. Just before reaching hell, his chains broke, and he found himself in a peaceful place. He encountered God, who offered him a choice to return to Earth. Randall saw various aspects of heaven, including a university and a playground, and learned that his skills would be used there. After the experience, he felt a new sense of purpose and wanted to share his story about salvation and the importance of being born again.
