It's unclear where Renner is in his view of God. However, the incident on New Year's Day in 2023, when he was left in critical condition after his body was crushed by his seven-ton snowplow, has sparked newfound curiousity in the celebrity.

The 54-year-old actor recalled the seemingly supernatural experience during an interview with Us Weekly, telling the outlet he experienced nothing but "peace" in those brief moments.

Renner is promoting his new memoir, "My Next Breath," in which he recounts the experience.

"As I lay on the ice, my heart rate slowed, and right there, on that New Year's Day, unknown to my daughter, my sisters, my friends, my father, my mother, I just got tired," he wrote. "After about 30 minutes on the ice, of breathing manually for so long, an effort akin to doing 10 or 20 push-ups per minute for half an hour ... that's when I died."

He told Us Weekly he saw his "lifetime ... all at once" as his heart rate slowed to 18 beats-per-minute.

"In death there was no time, no time at all, yet it was also all time and forever," he said, adding he felt "exhilarating peace" and a "constantly connected, beautiful, and fantastic energy" during those few moments.

Renner said he regained consciousness when he felt a force urging him to not "let go."... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
