RELOADED | 506: Spiritual Attacks and Healing Prayers Aug 19, 2024

Show notes

In Episode 506: Spiritual Attacks and Healing Prayers we are joined by Stephanie. Years ago on Episode 227: Casting Out Demons & Healing The Sick I did an interview with a man named Hector who had a prayer ministry called The Centurion 813 Prayer Ministry. Before that interview, Hector wanted to pray for any bodily ailments Jack and I were dealing with. During that prayer, Jack's shoulder was healed and that was going to be an omen for things to come for Hector's ministry. Since broadcasting that interview the ministry has grown in participants in which many listeners from this show got involved. One of those listeners is today's guest, Stephanie. She comes on to talk about the lifelong battles in the spiritual realm starting from what she remembers before she was born. She shares how she turned away from the idea of there being a God and dove into witchcraft and the occult only to find herself not only participating in a Christian healing ministry but now leading it as she and Hector both felt God telling them that she was to take over as the head of the ministry.

678: The Dark Recruitment Aug 13, 2024

Show notes

In episode 678: The Dark Recruitment, Ross sits down in studio for a gripping conversation that will take you deep into the unsettling and mysterious realms beyond our everyday reality. Ross joined us in studio a month prior to this recording to share a battle he's had since he was merely 2 years old. His story was dark and full of very dramatic twists and turns, but things took a turn while discussing portals. Ross became visibly uncomfortable and made Tony aware that there was a dark entity attached to Ross that despised him. At that moment Tony shut off the cameras and began to engage in spiritual warfare. Ross requested that the interview not air, which led Tony to bring him back in one month later for a retelling of his life story. He now has shaken these dark entities like Lilith. Ross shares harrowing personal experiences of demonic attacks, recruitment attempts, and the struggle to maintain his faith amidst overwhelming spiritual oppression.

676: Clownish Nephilim Aug 06, 2024

Show notes

In episode 676: Clownish Nephilim, Paul Stobbs, an expert on the intriguing connection between clowns and ancient Nephilim, joins the show. Paul shares how his extensive eight-year research led to his book "The Nephilim Look Like Clowns," where he uncovers the dark, occult history behind the seemingly innocent clown figure. He explains that clowns, far from being mere entertainers, are rooted in ancient demonic symbolism, designed to caricature the Nephilim and used in occult practices. Paul dives deep into the eerie origins of clown imagery, its ties to Freemasonry, and its pervasive influence in modern culture.

RELOADED | 111: The Abduction Cover-up Aug 05, 2024

Show notes

Episode 111 is a special one! It took a direction that was a little unexpected as you will hear in Tony's tone as the interview moves along. Austin shares with us his partial memories of being abducted off-planet, and shares all the details he can remember. But that is only where this episode begins. Austin shares what has happened to him when he began talking about this experience with his father and a friend from school. They were all visited by a unidentified man who threatened them and told them to shut up, in one way or another. After Austin contacted The Confessionals, the threatening nature of these people became more aggressive, and escalated to a point where he felt he had no choice but to speak out to keep himself and his family safe.
