— THE COMPANION COURSE TO HEAVEN ENCOUNTERS
Move from
reading about
Jesus to
encountering
Him.
A guided journey, drawn from a clinical death encounter with Christ and decades of pastoral ministry, into the practices and postures that open the door to a real, ongoing experience of His presence.
Format: Self-paced video · Modules: Six · Available: May 26, 2026
THE PROMISE
Heaven Encounters, the book (available through
all major book outlets), tells the stories of those
who met Christ on the other side of death.
Encountering God walks readers into the practices
that open them to meet Him here, now, in this life.
THE CURRICULUM
Six modules. One journey.
The course follows a deliberate progression — from clearing what blocks
encounter to receiving what He has for those who seek Him. Each module
includes video teaching, scriptural foundation, guided practice, and a
written reflection.
I. Why God Wants to Be Heard
Settles the foundational question every believer must answer — not whether God speaks, but whether He speaks to you. Anchored in Scripture, the testimony of those who have stood in His presence, and the first two words Randy heard in heaven: Trust Me.
II. How God Speaks
Maps the seven modes through which God communicates. Most believers are tuned to only one or two and miss the rest. By the end, you will have identified your personal Voice Profile — the modes. He uses most consistently with you — and a framework for opening to the others.
III. Removing the Barriers
The module most courses skip. Names the specific barriers that create interference between you and His voice — unbelief, a false image of God, noise and busyness, wound, shame, unforgiveness, unconfessed sin — and builds a personalized plan for the one most actively limiting your access right now.
IV. Learning to Listen
Six core disciplines of a listening life: Sacred Silence, Conversational Prayer, Scripture as Encounter, the Listening Walk, the Gratitude Inventory, and the Encounter Journal. Not a program to add to your schedule but a sustainable rhythm. Closes with a signed thirty-day commitment to a personal listening rhythm.
V. Recognizing His Voice
Seven tests for discerning God's voice from your own thoughts or other influences. Turns hearing from an anxious guessing game into a confident, developing skill. Introduces the Discernment Record — the single most effective tool for improving your ability to recognize Him over time.
VI. Living the Encountered Life
How encounter is sustained — not just through a course or a good season, but across a lifetime.
Ordinary Tuesdays. Seasons of silence. The adjustment after peak experience. Closes with your Covenant of Encounter — a specific, signed, dated commitment to the conversation this course began.

WHO IT'S FOR
Built for the genuine seeker.
Encountering God is not for everyone — and that's the point.
It's a course that asks something of you.
Here's how to know if it's the right next step.
This is for you if…
✦ You've read Heaven Encounters and want to go deeper
✦ You believe in Christ but feel a gap between knowing about Him and knowing Him
✦ You're tired of religion and hungry for relationship
✦ You're willing to slow down and practice, not just learn
✦ You want a Christ-centered approach grounded in Scripture
This isn't for you if…
✦ You're looking for a quick spiritual fix or a prosperity formula
✦ You want academic theology without practical application
✦ You're seeking experiences for their own sake
✦ You're not yet ready to set aside time each week to do the work
YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Taught by Randy Kay
Randy died in 2005. During those minutes, he encountered Christ in a way that reshaped everything that followed — his ministry, his marriage, his understanding of what it means to walk with God in the everyday. He has spent the years since helping others move from believing in Jesus to knowing Him personally.
Randy is the author of Heaven Encounters and Heaven Stormed, host of the Heaven Encounters podcast (336,000+ subscribers, 100+ million views), and serves on the board of Sid Roth's Messianic Vision. He brings a unique combination of journalistic precision, executive leadership, and pastoral warmth to his teaching.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you enroll.
DO I NEED TO HAVE READ HEAVEN ENCOUNTERS FIRST?
No. The course stands on its own. That said, the course was designed as the natural next step for readers of the book, and the two together form a complete journey from witnessing what others encountered to encountering Him yourself.
HOW LONG DOES THE COURSE TAKE TO COMPLETE?
The course is designed to be completed over six weeks, one module per week, but it is fully self-paced. You have lifetime access, so you can move quickly or slowly as the Spirit leads. A Small Group Facilitator Guide is also available for groups walking through it together.
IS THIS COURSE CHARISMATIC, EVANGELICAL, OR SOMETHING ELSE?
The course is Christ-centered and Scripture-grounded. It draws on the broader Christian tradition rather than any single stream and is built to nourish believers across denominational lines.
WHAT IS THE REFUND POLICY?
All enrollments are final. Take a moment to read through the curriculum and the “Who It's For” section above before enrolling. The course is designed to ask something of you — and to deliver something of substance in return.
SHOULD I JOIN THE ALL-ACCESS PASS INSTEAD?
If you're certain you want the full Heavenwise Academy — Encountering God, Designed to Thrive, Healing, and Grief — the All-Access Pass at $247 is the better value. It launches in late July when all four courses are live. If you want to start with this one course first, $97 is the right entry point.
