The Near-Death Fantasies of Chad Daybell: A Cult Leader’s Mind

The Near-Death Fantasies of Chad Daybell: A Cult Leader’s
Mind
Chad Daybell’s prison letter #5 dives headfirst into his
so-called near-death experiences, and the results are as
disturbing as they are absurd. From claiming he “died” four times
to describing heaven with the soundtrack of Van Halen’s Jump,
Daybell’s words show the twisted belief system he used to justify
his crimes.

The hosts break down each claim, exposing how Daybell recasts
traumatic events as supernatural confirmation of his “prophetic”
status. They also unpack the psychology of why he frames himself
as chosen, and how he warps basic LDS doctrine into a personal
mythology. At its core, this isn’t just a man telling tall tales
— it’s a manipulator creating a story he hopes will excuse the
inexcusable.

With humor, skepticism, and sharp analysis, the conversation
pulls apart the contradictions. Daybell insists that God kept
sparing him for a higher purpose — but the hosts point out that
maybe, just maybe, the universe was trying to get rid of him
before things turned darker.
