Light in the Darkness

Get ready to unwrap the fascinating origins of your favorite Christmas traditions! In this episode of Light in the Darkness, Cory and Daniel sit down with author and historian Gary Wayne to dig deep into the roots of modern holiday customs. From the truth behind December 25th and the debated origins of the Christmas tree to the polytheistic symbols hiding in plain sight, Gary offers a perspective that’s sure to leave you questioning what you thought you knew about the season of cheer.

Have you ever wondered why we deck the halls with holly or light up evergreen trees? Gary uncovers the ancient practices tied to these festive symbols, revealing their connections to pagan rituals and polytheistic beliefs. Learn how the solstice, Saturnalia, and even Druidic traditions merged with Christian celebrations over centuries to create the customs we celebrate today.

Santa Claus takes center stage as Gary explores his evolution from the noble St. Nicholas to a figure steeped in Norse mythology and allegory. Did you know the jolly old man in the red suit could trace his roots back to Odin, the god of Yule, complete with his flying sleigh and horned companions? The connections between Krampus, elves, and otherworldly lore will leave you rethinking those cookies and milk by the fireplace.

Join us for a deep dive into the myths, legends, and faith that have shaped the way we celebrate Christmas. Whether you're a traditionalist or just curious about the backstory, this episode is packed with insights, history, and eye-opening revelations that will make your holiday season truly illuminating.

The boys sit down to hear the testimony of their guest Fady, a former Coptic Christian who left his faith to embrace Islam—only to face harrowing visions of hell that would change his life forever. Fady candidly recounts his journey, sharing the deep personal struggles and influences that led him away from Christ and into a dark spiritual abyss.

His story takes a shocking turn as he describes vivid, terrifying encounters with a deep, dark void—a place he instinctively knew was hell. The despair and hopelessness were so overwhelming, it left him questioning everything. After a final, chilling experience of being abandoned to this darkness, Fady cried out to Jesus as his last resort. What happened next defies explanation and stands as a powerful testament to the redemptive power of faith.

Join us for an unforgettable episode that explores the themes of loss, redemption, and the undeniable presence of Jesus in the darkest moments. Fady's testimony is more than just a story—it’s an invitation to anyone seeking light in their own darkness.

We’re back in the deep end with Luke Doyle for this Patreon exclusive episode, diving into the raw power of authentic worship, supernatural encounters, and unforgettable stories. Luke challenges the polished, time-boxed worship culture, calling for hearts fully surrendered to God’s presence. He shares how true worship breaks chains, transforms lives, and opens the door for the Holy Spirit to move like never before.

But it’s not all intensity—Luke lightens the mood with a hilarious account of his first-ever Waffle House experience. From hurricane chaos to an emergency menu that included everything but waffles, Luke’s storytelling will leave you laughing and reflecting on the resilience of faith in the unexpected.

And then, the dream. Luke describes seeing a demonized woman in a vision so vivid it felt real. Days later, he met her—on the exact street from his dream. What followed was his first deliverance prayer, a powerful moment that brought freedom to someone who had been waiting 20 years. It’s a testimony to the boldness of faith and God’s hand in even the smallest details.

This episode takes you to the deep end of the pool with our guest, Luke Doyle, whose life is a tapestry of supernatural encounters and raw faith. Raised by parents who taught him to go straight to God with his questions, Luke shares vivid stories of miracles, prophetic dreams, and life-changing conversations with the Divine. From exploding light bulbs during Bible study to hearing God’s voice tell him who to marry, Luke’s experiences challenge what you think is possible in a relationship with God.

Luke doesn’t shy away from the hard stuff either. He opens up about moments of fear, doubt, and even tragedy—and how God met him there. His heartfelt stories of surrender, like giving up control of a loved one’s life in prayer, remind us of the profound peace that comes with trusting God’s plan. Through it all, Luke paints a vivid picture of who God is: a loving Father who speaks, heals, and invites us into deeper relationship.

Whether it’s a childlike faith that hears God as clearly as a friend or the overwhelming power of worship in a prophetic atmosphere, Luke’s testimony will stir your soul. If you’re hungry for more than surface-level faith, this episode will inspire you to dive in and seek the God who is closer than you think.

The boys sit down with Etienne Blom, a man whose faith journey is filled with jaw-dropping accounts of miracles, angelic encounters, and supernatural missions across the globe. From healing the sick to raising the dead, Etienne shares incredible stories of seeing God’s power at work in ways that defy natural explanation. Hear the miraculous tale of a mother in India whose lifeless child was restored to life in his arms and learn about his encounters with people whose lives were transformed as they rose from their wheelchairs to walk again.

But Etienne’s experiences go even further. He talks about being “translated” or spiritually transported to places he’s never physically visited—only to later receive calls confirming the miraculous healing and deliverance that took place while he was “there.” He reveals what it means to operate within the Melchizedek Priesthood, explaining the immense spiritual authority and responsibility that come with it. Etienne believes we are each called to partner with angels, not in worship, but in collaboration, instructing them to prepare spaces, guard against darkness, and release God’s power.

As he explains, walking in these radical experiences isn’t reserved for a select few. Etienne encourages listeners to go deeper with God and live out a life of radical obedience, prioritizing intimacy with Jesus and relying on the Holy Spirit’s guidance over man-made plans or worldly wisdom. This episode is a call to embrace the miraculous, pursue a personal relationship with Jesus, and live with unwavering boldness—because, as Etienne reminds us, God’s power is as present and active today as it was in biblical times.

What do you do when you're pastoring a church and stumble upon a literal witchcraft curse bag? In this episode, we dive into the wild and often unnerving journey of Sam, a pastor who faced more than just your typical church conflicts. We're talking about demonic attacks on his family, arguments out of nowhere, and even mysterious symbols showing up on his church property. And all this while he's still ministering, helping people come to Christ, and fulfilling the Great Commission!

Sam shares with us his shocking discovery of a juju bag left on his church doorstep and the chilling experiences his family faced as they endured spiritual attacks at home. But don't worry, it’s not all doom and gloom—Sam kept pushing forward, preaching the gospel, helping people get delivered, and keeping his sense of humor intact (most of the time).

At the heart of this episode is a story of resilience. Sam’s journey reminds us that no matter how tough the battle gets, Jesus will carry you through. Whether it's spiritual warfare or just life’s toughest seasons, Sam’s unwavering faith shows that God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness. If you're facing your own storm, this episode is a testament that with Jesus, you can stand firm and come out stronger on the other side.
