Long before he ever considered acting, the "Homestead" star was a whitewater raft guide while attending college. Hutch said he was a wilderness fan at the time, enjoying all things outdoors — so living that out as a job was a fun-filled experience. One day, while working on a river, things took a turn he could have never expected. It was a beautiful and sunny day, but Hutch said the "water level was at a pretty high peak."

Want more miracles? Stream "Investigating the Supernatural: Miracles," a new documentary from CBN about powerful medical miracles: www.cbn.com/supernatural Actor Jesse Hutch is most known for his TV and acting career, but the devout Christian is also an outspoken man of faith who experienced a near-death experience that changed absolutely everything. Long before he ever considered acting, the "Homestead" star was a whitewater raft guide while attending college. Hutch said he was a wilderness fan at the time, enjoying all things outdoors — so living that out as a job was a fun-filled experience. One day, while working on a river, things took a turn he could have never expected. It was a beautiful and sunny day, but Hutch said the "water level was at a pretty high peak." "This particular rapid ... was kicking ... and there's three standing waves," he recalled, noting he was helping lead others on the water at the time. With the choppiness of the waterway, Hutch's boat went upside down, and he was plunged underwater in an area called the "green room" — a place where you're deep enough to be in a current but where the sunlight is making the water appear green. "All of a sudden I just feel this pressure on my body," he said. "I'm like, 'Wow, I went down pretty fast." In the moment, Hutch wasn't panicked but he knew he needed to swim out. But the pressure made it impossible. He was forced to make some tough decisions in those moments, going limp to try and relax his muscles and maximize the oxygen he had left. "I'm quite logical about it," Hutch said. "I'm not panicked yet, but I know that I'm running out of oxygen and I can feel that." That's when he realized the situation was "not good." Unable to hold off any longer, his body naturally tried to breathe in and water began pouring into his lungs. "It feels like someone pours liquid concrete," Hutch said. "It's heavy. It goes in. It felt like every part of my body, like where water doesn't even go went, and It felt like it was in my arms. It felt like my muscles went dead." Realizing his life would very likely end, the actor began to recognize he might be "done," calling it one of the "scariest moments" of his life. "I knew in my brain I was finished," Hutch said. "And, immediately after that, I had 100% peace because I ended up in this position where I was like, 'OK, I'm in your hands, God ... I completely surrender.'" Ironically, despite the pain, chaos, and uncertainty, Hutch said he felt total peace. Listen to him explain what happened next. Want more news from a Christian Perspective?
