Scott Drummond’s near-death experience (NDE) occurred at age 28 following a skiing accident that led to a surgical complication. During the procedure, a nurse mistakenly administered anesthesia that stopped his heart for 20 minutes. Pronounced clinically dead, Drummond later recounted a profound journey beyond life.
After being resuscitated, Drummond experienced an overwhelming sense of peace for several days. He later reflected on his life, realizing his previous focus on personal success had overshadowed deeper values. This realization led him to prioritize kindness, love, and spiritual growth.
For decades, Drummond kept his experience private. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he felt compelled to share his story to offer hope. His testimony resonated widely, amassing over 21 million views and sparking discussions on life, death, and spiritual transformation.
For a more detailed account, Drummond’s book, What Dying Taught Me About Living, delves deeper into his experience and the lessons learned.
Come hear the story that has changed so many.
