189 - An Encounter With Heaven with Pastor David Scarlett

At a young age, Pastor David Scarlett of His Glory Ministries had achieved success, financial stability, and had a promising future—yet when his marriage began to fall apart, his accomplishments offered little comfort. This crisis pushed him to seek a deeper, more authentic faith in Jesus. Later in life, Pastor David suffered a severe case of botulism after eating a chili dog—an event he says led to his death and a vivid encounter with heaven. Though only five minutes had passed in the hospital room, he describes what felt like days in heaven, and says he saw Jesus standing at the foot of his bed before returning to his body. In this episode, Pastor David shares how this near-death experience shaped his ministry, the mission that emerged from it, and his perspective on the ongoing struggle between good and evil in America. At the top of the show, Tomelex Copeland, Natasha Gray, Lynne Stroy, and Joey Svendsen discuss the moral questions surrounding combat sports like boxing and MMA, a viral story about a Walmart wedding ring used in a heartfelt proposal, and their takes on the phrase: “Be careful what you pray for.” On this Episode:Pastor David Scarlett | Instagram | Website Hosts: Tomelix Copeland  | Natasha Gray  | Chip Judd | Lynne Stroy | Joey Svendsen   Natasha's "Reminders" | Spotify | Apple Music  "Love Where You Live" highlight: [email protected] Podcast is now on InstagramBe a Patron of the podcast We have a YouTube Channel for videos of all episodes since Jan. 2024. We'd love to hear from you.  E-mail Joey HERE. Producer/Editor/host: Joey SvendsenSound Engineer/Editor: Katelyn Vandiver
