In this special episode of the Living God’s Light podcast, we share exciting updates about where our mission is headed and reflect on the incredible experiences from this year’s IANDS (International Association for Near-Death Studies) Conference.

We are joined by Alan Smith, one of the Living God’s Light board members and a cherished part of our community. Alan opens up about the challenges of caring for his parents, the emotions of grief, relief, and healing, and the importance of authentic connection. Together, we explore how these life experiences shape our spiritual growth and prepare us to serve others.

We also dive into the powerful takeaways from the IANDS Conference—being surrounded by hundreds of people who have touched the other side, what it feels like to be in that atmosphere of light and love, and how those insights inspire the vision of Living God’s Light conferences, communities, and resources moving forward.

#LivingGodsLight #SpiritualAwakening #PeggyONeill #Adversity #Faith #GriefAndLoss

Kara Marlene returns for Part 2 with a beautiful testimony of surrender, childlike faith, and a miracle that left her doctor saying, “We’ll see you when you’re 40.” After a generational cancer history, frightening exams, and an emergency lumpectomy scheduled, Kara followed spirit's nudges to a church. What followed changed everything.

In this episode, Kara shares how she remembers the “fingerprints of Love,” how nature helps her soul feel expansive, and how gratitude keeps us tilted toward Light—even in the thick of a very human experience. If you need hope, this conversation is for you.

At just 8 years old, Kara Marlene had a life-changing near-death experience after a childhood accident. In that moment, she encountered what she describes as the purest presence of love itself. Kara shares how this NDE became the lens through which she has lived her life ever since—with childlike faith, deep joy, and an unshakable awareness of the miraculous. From seeing love in everyone she meets to finding wonder in the everyday, Kara’s story is a powerful reminder that every life is a gift and that we are all meant for miracles.
