Todd Burpo

Todd Burpo is a pastor at Crossroads Wesleyan Church and a volunteer firefighter.

He lives with his wife Sonja and their four children: Cassie, Colton, Colby, and an unnamed daughter they believe is in heaven.

The Burpo family gained fame after Todd co-authored the bestselling book "Heaven is for Real" about his son Colton's alleged near-death experience and visit to heaven at age 3.

The book's success led to a movie adaptation and follow-up books.

Todd continues to pastor and share his family's story through speaking engagements and media appearances.

The Burpos reside in Imperial, Nebraska, where Todd balances his ministry duties with family life.
