As a vice president of IANDS, International Association of Near-Death Studies, Latter Day Radio co-host Martin Tanner discusses the recent conference held in Salt Lake City, Utah, over Labor Day weekend in September 2022. Among other things, Martin and his co-host GM Jarrard examine the relevance and impact of accounts of people who have "passed on and returned" for people of faith, particularly Latter Day Saints. They recount how in dark and troubling times these stories, often with messages for friends and family members–can offer great hope and pique interest in life after death. Martin and Greg also address the subject of why trials are for our benefit and help people appreciate light when enveloped in darkness. And, they point out how the hope for a better future can give people renewed strength to endure to the end.
