What would drive a man to abandon everything in pursuit of unseen power? In this gripping episode, Max recounts his descent into Santeria, a world cloaked in ritual, sacrifice, and spiritual seduction. What began as curiosity quickly spiraled into ceremonies soaked in blood, whispered warnings, and encounters with ancient entities that promised blessings, at a cost. As the veil lifts, so do the illusions, leaving Max to wrestle with the darkness he once welcomed.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
