Jesus took his hand and showed him heaven.
He died on the operating table… and what he saw next changed everything.
In today’s episode of No Longer Nomads, host Josh Doyle sits down with Mike McKenzie, a husband, father, and everyday guy whose routine appendectomy turned into a near-death encounter with Jesus.
Mike shares—in vivid detail—what happened the moment he looked to the right and saw Jesus walk into the surgical room, reach out His hand, and say, “I want to answer your prayer.” What follows is an extraordinary journey:
- A glimpse of heaven’s landscape
- A physical presence of Jesus guiding him
- A shocking return to the operating table
- A second encounter in the ICU lasting three hours
- The startling message Jesus gave him
- And the 20-year journey that followed

Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or just curious about NDEs, this conversation will challenge, encourage, and move you. Mike’s story isn’t sensationalized—it’s raw, honest, emotional, and filled with supernatural moments he never expected.
