On June 14, 2022 while swimming with his young sons, Brad Hassig sank to the bottom of their backyard pool during a meditative breathing exercise. He wouldn’t experience physical consciousness again for another 10-20 minutes when he was revived by medical personnel on his pool deck after his 10-year old twin sons and a neighborhood friend heroically pulled him from the bottom of the pool and saved his life. The story filled local news media and was picked up by national news media leading to appearances on The Today Show and Good Morning America for Brad and the boys. It’s an amazing story of heroism, resourcefulness, and determination by three young boys. But what the news media didn’t cover were the details of what Brad experienced as he drowned in his pool that day, and God’s presence in what happened both above the water in Brad’s rescue, and especially with Brad as he was dying under that water. Today, he shares all of that, and how he has been transformed since his experience that day.
Brad Hassig is a Chiropractor who also hosts the podcast Second Chance at Health. It’s on all major podcast player and on YouTube here: www.youtube.com/@bradhassig1019.
Brad also wants to bring awareness to the often fatal Underwater Hypoxic Blackout, and has an understandable desire to increase education in water safety. For more about Underwater Hypoxic Blackout, please visit https://underwaterhypoxicblackout.org/.

🕊✨🙏🏼MY DAUGHTER’S POWERFUL AND HOLY EXPERIENCE IN 2014 WHEN SHE WAS 12 YRS OLD. IT HAPPENED AT A Christian Church during worship.
My daughter had the most amazing and beautiful experience in church. She was super rebellious and a threw ton of tantrums because of past trauma and ptsd and I was desperate for her to be touched by the Holy Spirit so she would change and calm down. I needed supernatural help. I couldn’t calm her down by myself. She was full of anger. We were sitting down during worship, just singing and praising. The lights were dimmed. I kept saying over and over and over, Holy Spirit touch her Holy Spirit touch her please Holy Spirit touch her. I wanted Him to do something so she would stop being so rebellious and full of anger. I needed help desperately. All of a sudden her head just fell back onto my arm because I had my arm around her shoulder at the time. It’s like she fainted. I couldn’t wake her at all!!! I poked her side, I called her name over and over and nothing. I pushed on several times to wake her up and no reaction at all. Then I saw tears rolling down her face. I got so scared I was about to scream for help. I thought she died in my arms. When she became conscious again she was extremely quiet and just looked straight ahead for the rest of the service. She didn’t say anything to me, but later told me that she saw some stairs which led up to a throne and a very very bright figure was there with arms wide open reaching out to her to come to Him. She could see His brilliant white sleeves and she walked right into His embrace. He hugged her. He held her and the hug just exploded with the most intense love she had ever felt or could ever describe. At that moment the only way she could describe it was that she felt like she was getting TOO MUCH LOVE. Those are her words. I FELT LIKE I WAS GETTING TOO MUCH LOVE!! That’s why the tears were rolling down her face. She said she has never felt such an intense love like that before. She couldn’t contain the love she felt. It was too much to process. She couldn’t see His face from how bright He was but she felt the power of His AMAZING PURE AND IMMENSE LOVE. The love was beyond anything she ever felt here on earth. I recorded her telling me of the experience. I hope to find the recordingone day. It was so beautiful. So amazing!!! Proof that Jesus is real. God is real and so is the Holy Spirit. She calmed down for a while after that. I never forgot that beautiful supernatural and amazing experience. Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father God in Heaven for all of eternity waiting for us. Jesus will come back for His people still. Make no mistake about that. It’s in the Holy Bible. It will happen when we least expect it. Give your life to Jesus HE IS REAL AND WAITING TO LOVE YOU❤️
So awesome!!!
True so true. I had a dream one night. I sleep om my stomach. And while sleeping, something was biting me behind on my upper leg. I woke up with a frightening feeling, my heart was running wild and racing high. I was in such a shock, because I stay alone. I know it is only me in my bed. As I jump up I heard a screaming sound and this thing, whatever it was. I did not see it, only heard this awful scream went out the window. But I was awake. I thought but it could not have been a dream, because the moment I hear this scream,: "I was awake". While I was in shock and just lying being frightened, an Angel, or Jesus. I really do not know floated around me, and then He just held me in his arms. I looked up to Him, while holding me. And immediately this fear was gone. He had this bright white light shone from him. I did not see wings. From His head to toes, all was in white and bright and so pure. He looked young. Short white little curly hair. But He did not look at me. And then He was gone when I wink my eyes. After this experience, I felt so in peace, very calm and good and no fear. But what bothered me was: "why did He not look at me". I believe in God, very strong. Definitely. But I have a sin. I'm smoking for years. And I have a hard time leaving this addiction of over 25 years. And I ask God, why did he not look at me. I had this different things in my head. Ashamed. Was it my breath. Can only be smoking. I opened my Bible,
a few days laterI received the answer. Isaiah 54:7-9 “For a mere moment I have forsaken you, But with great mercies I will gather you. With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,” Says the LORD, your Redeemer. 😞 He teach and help me every day.Thank you ❤for sharing your story God bless you !!!
Thank God for allowing so many to experience NDE’s. I had an NDE myself and it was so alarming and scary because I still can’t explain but how it happened but the place where I was at the time was changed to outer darkness which later in life I found out was in the Bible and I don’t know how I knew but when this creature was dragging me by my foot I was going down so fast and I can’t explain it but it was made known to me that I was on my way to hell😢, thank God after calling on Jesus I was then put back in my body and I woke up. But there were other things that happened but I thank God for having mercy and compassion on me to give me another chance. I also had another experience like this dear Brother was sharing about the love and these colors that were so beautiful and unexplained and when I looked up I saw a silhouette of Jesus with His arms stretched out in this grassy field of beautiful colors that I cannot explain. I then began to see love joy peace and what I know now as the fruit of the Spirit going upward like an aroma almost, I cannot express the overwhelming feelings I experienced💕I’m forever grateful💕
I think the fact that you did this kind of breathing helped in this situation. Thank God.
Amazing testimony but what a dangerous and foolish thing to be practicing in the pool (coming from a former lifeguard here). You can so easily pass out from holding your breath like that. Thank God he survived for his family’s sake. His sons would have been badly traumatized for the rest of their lives. It was so hard to listen to him describe himself sitting at the bottom of the pool.
What if our soul is our mind because God says the battle is in our mind.Maybe leaving the flesh for a bit we walk in the spirit and can see clearly in the spirit. Maybe walking in the spirit we can see heavenly things. Im sure this experience gave you more faith and assurance that every being is so special. That is truly a blessing to share. Thank you God for your love and kindness. Thank you for never leaving or forsaking us. Hallelujah.
❤ thank you 😊
I've watched near death experiences (I had an OBE and was taken to hell). But in some of these NDEs, I don't often hear of folks talks about Jesus though. I met another recently and she said she was asked by a voice if she wanted to stay or go, and that she saw bunch of people like a council. I know "many" believe in God but how many actually are under the revelation of what God did ? Scripture says to test every spirit and if they say Jesus came in flesh, they they are of.God…
My point is… idk if alot of these people with NDEs are saved
I loved hearing this man’s account of his NDE and how God intervened in so many ways! I’m a believer and it’s still leaves me in awe! A great interview thank you to you both!
Just know we all do have our own gardens and every tear that falls from your eyes are accounted for! They water your garden!
Everything he is saying is completely true! That light is indescribable! The colors are indescribable! But that love in his presence is something you can never ever forget!!! To hug Jesus and feel that unconditional love there is nothing but love pure love!! You don’t get second thoughts it’s all pure!
There are no coincidences. I’ve learned this.
Do you still practice those breathing techniques in the pool? Depriving your brain of oxygen (not to mention every other cell in your body) doesn’t seem like something a doctor would recommend.
I would love it if you would have the boys come on and talk
Its weird to me that you were doing breath exercises in your quiet time? Sounds very new age
RE: The question on interfaith confirmation bias, Muslims believe in the same God you believe in.
God just flooded me with his love, peace, and comfort yesterday and I don’t even know why, but it was wonderful to just bask in it and then at the end of this video he was talking about how God will just flood you with his love, peace and comfort he is so sweet and good and loving thank You Jesus! thank you for sharing this experience. Praise God.
Those who have a relationship with Christ always have a glow about them. what a blessing it is to know Christ 🙏
Thanks for sharing. Why christians need to bring bible in it. Bible has nothing to do with the light or god. Its full of errors and brutality
This story is much more believable than most NDE stories.
I had a nde and i also drowned too, i also saw the light but i also was shown records of my life played to me all at the same time,
He experienced low 02 levels. Next time try your breathing above water
This is beautiful NDE. God is everywhere he's awesome. He's real. Amam?
I feel like both these guys are quoting scriptures and were religious before this even happened. This seems like a church group.
What do we do with the scripture then, that says- “No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.”John 3:13
I m so glad u shared your story. It was amazing .Yes, 1:34:07 was God in this who orchestrated in an amazing way ,God bless!!!
I love to whach all ur testimony, but for this time,I want to tell you ,❤love to hear about alcohol, becouse some cristian believe it's not sin please do one interviu talking about that, I m waiting for it.Thks.and God bless!
where is Janie’s testimony!?!? 💔🫶🏼 hers was my favorite! this one is also amazing 💗 Praise God
It is written Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God
It's Clinical death we need to distinguish the things here. We never know what was or its the destiny of each creator's human soul. Maybe they are explaining the moments in how it felt while Koma or during a huge accident and until the soul process returns to the human body with the approval of God they are always saying I saw a light it was beautiful and I wish it was always like that. That means it is not actual death tho is still clinical death.
God is real and reliable and that is our hope even if we have to go through trials and temptations as the followers of Jesus Christ. ♥
IMO, NDE is different for every one! Because of their imagination, mind, and their own soul’s power or ability. It doesn’t have to be the same.
Every1 is unique and their experience is also not the same
I started drinking alcohol occasionally in my twenties. In my thirties it became more of a regular weekend activity. The more stressful my life became the more regularly I drank . I was never dependent on it but it is definitely a slippery slope! One day I just had a quick thought, not a sit down and pray moment, I thought, " God if you could make it so I don’t have the desire to drink alcohol, that would be great! " A few weeks went by and I realized I hadn't had the urge to drink , at all. I did have a couple stumbles, but those stumbles just affirmed that drinking is not something I am interested in or desire to do anymore. I heard someone say on Instagram a few weeks ago, "You give the devil an inch, and he'll bring you to your knees" No truer words have been spoken . Thank you for another affirming testimony!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 what an experience I think it would be awesome if these could be translated to Spanish! my Guatemalan mother loves listening to these testimonies with me! But she also wishes they were in Spanish
Praying a door will open for this ministry for a Spanish interpreter! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I can really relate to this. My life was saved 6 months before I would have lost it, due to stage 4 blood cancer. He has given me more time, and there is work for me to do. He said to me twice "I have more for you through and out the other side" 🙌🙌🙌
Jesus is real. Talk to him from your heart ❤️.
I love your story❣️
The Lord took the addiction of smoking and drinking from me and there's nothing to miss. The best thing ever. 😊
