907: The Hidden Hierarchy of Darkness That Most Christians Never Learn About Oct 20, 2026

Show notes

What if the most terrifying forces in this world operate through a kingdom we've barely begun to understand? Tony Merkel sits down with Alexander Pagani and Pastor Fred Price Jr. to uncover what they believe is a hidden hierarchy within the kingdom of darkness. Their startling interpretation of Jesus' confrontation with Legion raises unsettling questions about what was really happening that day. As firsthand accounts of deliverance reveal a disturbing side of the supernatural, the possibility of spiritual forces holding authority over entire regions becomes impossible to ignore. This powerful discussion challenges everything we think we know about spiritual warfare while revealing why the authority of Jesus Christ is greater than the darkness.

RELOADED | 472: Peru's Megalithic Cave of Mystery Oct 19, 2026

Show notes

In Episode: 472: Peru's Megalithic Cave of Mystery, we bring on Derek Olson, the owner of Megalithic Marvels. Derek joins The Confessionals to talk about two of his biggest passions in life - searching for evidence for lost ancient technology and evidence of ancient giants/hybrid beings. He also shares some of his research on DNA and genetic anomalies of the Paracas skulls. But first, he starts us off with a journey he went on in Peru, where he was led into a largely unknown megalithic cave that the locals believe has mystical powers. When a shaman came into this cave to perform a ritual, things got weird. With people gathered around during the ritual, one man let out a blood-curdling scream as he was targeted by something from another realm inside the ancient cave.

America’s Next Manhattan Project? What’s Being Planned in Montana? | Slingshot Nation Oct 16, 2026

Show notes

Is America preparing for the next Manhattan Project, and why is Montana at the center of it?
Today on Slingshot Nation LIVE, we're diving into the Department of War's Project Meridian, exploring its potential connections to advanced weapons technology, the U.S. Space Force, and the future of American military power. Could this mysterious initiative represent a technological leap comparable to the original Manhattan Project? We're separating what's known from speculation and asking what may really be taking shape behind the scenes.

Members Preview | 906: Are Giants and Fallen Angels Hiding in the Solomon Islands? Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

What if an entire island nation is hiding a supernatural reality the rest of the world knows nothing about? Missionary Joanna Lee joins Tony to reveal disturbing accounts emerging from the Solomon Islands, where locals claim giants still inhabit the mountains and mysterious crafts travel beneath the ocean. As Joanna and her family minister to the people, they encounter violent demonic manifestations that challenge everything they thought they understood about spiritual warfare. Testimonies from a former witch doctor expose an alleged hidden world where ancient bloodlines and forbidden rituals are deeply connected to the island's supernatural mysteries. Could the Solomon Islands be concealing a spiritual stronghold preparing for something far greater?

905: Four Types of Aliens May Expose a Biblical Mystery Hidden in Plain Sight | Larry Ragland Oct 13, 2026

Show notes

What if the four alien species repeatedly mentioned by UFO insiders have a connection to something written in the Bible thousands of years ago? Tony Merkel sits down with Pastor Larry Ragland to explore a startling theory linking the Nordics, Greys, Mantids, and Reptilians to the four levels of spiritual authority described in Ephesians 6. With prominent voices in the UFO disclosure community reporting the same four types of beings, Larry believes the similarities deserve a closer look. Could these entities be manifestations of an ancient spiritual hierarchy operating behind the scenes of human history? Tony and Larry examine what Scripture reveals about unseen powers and question the true intentions behind the growing push for extraterrestrial disclosure. If these beings are not what humanity has been led to believe, what happens when the world finally encounters them?

RELOADED | 744: Inside the UAP Intel Loop Oct 12, 2026

Show notes

In episode 744: Inside the UAP Intel Loop, former military intelligence analyst Michaela Fachar shares the story of how her deep dive into consciousness, social constructs, and national security turned into a harrowing descent into something far stranger. What began with logical research and classified videos of UAPs in the Middle East spiraled into weeks of bizarre visions, flickering lights, and impossible glitches. Then came the translucent object that moved like it was cloaked, the metal spheres floating on surveillance footage—and the moment a government vehicle seemed to lead her directly into a hospital… where no one would acknowledge why she was there.

She wasn’t seeking attention. She was looking for help. But as her questions grew louder—about UAPs, military reporting choke points, and black programs—the silence from above became more deafening. Then came the whispers of non-human intelligence. The dreams. The spiritual oppression. The message in the dark. What was real? What was planned? And more chillingly… what was watching her the whole time?

SATANIC RITUALS: What's REALLY Happening at These Concerts? | Slingshot Nation Oct 09, 2026

Show notes

Are satanic rituals, occult symbolism, and spiritual influences hiding in plain sight within the entertainment industry?
In this episode of Slingshot Nation Live, we investigate the darker side of the music industry, exploring controversial performances, disturbing symbolism, mysterious lyrics, and questions surrounding some of the biggest names in entertainment.
From Taylor Swift's comments about ritualistic elements in her concerts to Miley Cyrus's mysterious song lyrics, we explore the growing conversation surrounding occult imagery, alleged satanic rituals, and the spiritual implications of modern music and entertainment.
Are these performances simply artistic expression and theatrical symbolism, or could there be deeper spiritual meanings behind what millions of people are watching and participating in?
Join us as we examine the intersection of satanic symbolism, occult practices, demonic imagery, spiritual warfare, celebrity culture, and the entertainment industry. Through a biblical lens, we'll explore the influence of music, the power of symbolism, and the possibility that spiritual messages are being communicated to audiences in ways they may not recognize.

Members Preview | 904: Testing a Lying Spirit | Larry Ragland Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

How do you know the spirit speaking to you is telling the truth? In this episode, Tony sits down with Larry Ragland to examine spiritual discernment and the danger of entities that mix truth with deception. They discuss false voices, NHI, testing supernatural claims through Scripture, and why discernment requires more than simply trusting an experience because it feels good or sounds convincing. The conversation ultimately turns to salvation, evangelism, and the responsibility Christians have to recognize deception and point people toward the truth of Jesus Christ.

903: Warring Kingdoms Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

What does it look like when God calls you to something before you fully understand what you’re being called into? Tony looks back at the path that led him to start The Confessionals. At first, he thought he was simply following a call to podcast. Over time, the stories he heard began to collide with experiences of his own. The deeper he went, the harder it became to dismiss what was happening. Strange encounters became personal. Spiritual warfare became real. What once felt like curiosity began to look like preparation. That journey ultimately forced Tony to confront a much bigger question about the world around us and the forces operating within it. Those conclusions became the foundation for The Confessionals: Exposing Warring Kingdoms.
