📍 Presented by Hawaiian IANDS
Join us for an illuminating evening with Anaja Metellus, author of Insights From Beyond: An Exploration of Near-Death Experiences and Biblical Truths. In this heartfelt talk, Anaja shares his remarkable seven-year transformation from a staunch Evangelical Christian to an inclusivist who sees God as unconditional Love—and humanity as eternal souls on a divine journey.
🙏 In the summer of 2018, after the devastating loss of his grandmother and two young cousins, Anaja began searching for answers about what happens after we die. That search led him to study hundreds of near-death experiences (NDEs) and the groundbreaking research of Dr. Jeffrey Long, Dr. Bruce Greyson, and Dr. Pim van Lommel.
📖 Once a Sunday school teacher and preacher deeply rooted in traditional theology, Anaja began to see Scripture through new eyes. What he found was a God not limited by religious boundaries—but a Presence of boundless love and purpose guiding all creation.
💫 In Insights From Beyond, Anaja explores how NDEs align with and expand biblical truth, inviting us to rediscover God as Love itself. His journey reminds us that life’s highest purpose is not religious perfection, but how we love God, ourselves, and one another.
✨ Don’t miss this transformative talk and live Q&A with Anaja Metellus.
Anaja Metellus is a husband, father of two, software engineer, and lifelong seeker exploring the intersection of science, scripture, and spiritual experience. Raised in the Evangelical tradition, his perspective transformed after a season of deep loss in 2018 led him to study near-death experiences. A former theology student at Dallas Theological Seminary and co-founder of the Power Prayer Line Ministry, Anaja now speaks at churches across Florida, sharing insights that bridge faith and consciousness. His book, Insights From Beyond, reflects years of research and a heartfelt mission to reveal God’s unconditional love through both reason and revelation.

From Evangelical to Inclusivist: My Spiritual Journey Through Near-Death Experiences with Anaja Metellus.
What happens when near-death experiences challenge the boundaries of faith? Join us as we welcome Anaja Metellus, who will share how his discovery of NDEs after a period of grief led him to reexamine his traditional evangelical roots with fresh eyes. Anaja will describe how his exploration of NDEs led him toward a more expansive and inclusive theology and led him to write Insights from Beyond: A bridge between science and spirituality. In Insights from Beyond, Anaja Metellus explores Near‑Death Experiences through scripture, research, and a profoundly personal journey.
