Randy Kay

Randy uses his own story about clinically dying from pulmonary embolism and septic shock, which led to his meeting Jesus face to face in heaven. His testimony has been shared with many thousands in speaking and video engagements. The most authoritative voice on near-death-experiences (NDEs), John Burke (New York Times Best Selling Author of Imagine Heaven), wrote the foreword for Randy’s best-selling book, Dying to Meet Jesus. In Randy’s book he details his encounter with Jesus in heaven, and the hope and wonder therein. Randy’s experience allows him to uniquely speak to audiences about death, dying, and heaven while giving hope to those who fear death, or who are grieving the loss of a loved one. If you want your audience to learn about what is on the other side of this life and death, in heaven, from the perspective of someone who has been there, this is the presentation for you.

Randy shares the sadness in almost losing his daughter to drugs, mental illness, and suicide. Indeed, each member of Randy’s family has suffered from some form of mental illness, including Randy’s own struggle with clinical depression. Through Randy’s own struggles and other compelling true stories of others’ sufferings, Randy teaches listeners how to find joy through sadness, and meaning through pain. He discusses the loss of loved ones, and how even death cannot separate us from the love of God. In this presentation Randy addresses the scourges of mental illness and drugs while offering answers as to how God’s abiding Spirit can turn sadness to joy, and how brokenness is actually an essential part of how we are being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ (Romans 8:29).

Randy was a corporate executive and entrepreneur, having started several companies. But God had other plans. He lost almost everything, and that is when he gained a life more dedicated in service to Jesus Christ. Have you ever wondered this: “What if..?” Those seminal moments that changed everything – the loss of a job, a terminal illness, the loss of a loved one – can turn should-of, could-of, into doing it NOW. Instead of fearing these life changing events, Randy encourages listeners to embrace the seminal moments as a means for achieving your dream. And, that requires trusting God to do the seemingly impossible. God oftentimes puts us to the test, and when seismic shifts alter our lives, instead of going back to the tried and true, God intends for us to instead “try what is true to God’s plan.” Randy uses stories of people (like himself) whose lives were turned upside down to show how God will invariably turn our life right-side up.
