I Nearly Drowned at 22...Then Everything Changed

At just 22 years old, Lynn Arches-Rappaport nearly drowned while surfing. It was an experience that she says forever changed the way she understands life, death, and eternity. In this conversation, she shares her near-death experience, encountering Jesus, her life review, the lessons she brought back, and why she believes we are all more connected than we realize. We also discuss time, purpose, forgiveness, compassion, and the inspiration behind her upcoming book, Entangled. I hope this conversation gives you something meaningful to reflect on and inspires you to draw closer to God.
