Guest: Laura Gallier's life took a turn after a period when she strayed from the right path. One night, she experienced a vivid, spiritual dream: she found herself on a movie set surrounded by half-horse, half-human beings dressed in bow ties and top hats. While parents eagerly lifted their children to interact with these seemingly harmless creatures, Laura knew instinctively that they were demons. Compelled by this powerful vision, Laura was moved to warn others and began a journey of spiritual transformation and purpose.
