Description: He died for 18 days… and what he saw changed everything.Gabe Poirot joins Tony to share the shocking moment a skateboard accident left him clinically dead, launching him into an encounter beyond the veil where he witnessed the chaos of the second heaven, the reality of spiritual warfare, and was ultimately drawn into the presence of Jesus Himself . What he describes isn’t symbolic, it’s a vivid account of leaving his body, being pulled through a war-filled spiritual realm, and standing before Christ, where fear, guilt, and shame were instantly erased by grace. The conversation unpacks what he saw about prayer, spiritual authority, and the unseen battle happening right now, along with the urgency of the time we’re living in. Sent back with a clear message, Gabe now shares what he believes people are missing: this life is not the full story, and the window to respond is closing faster than we think.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.
