What happens when a billionaire financier walks away from the boardroom and steps straight into the darkest rooms on earth? Paul Hutchinson, primary investor and executive producer of Sound of Freedom, recounts going undercover through 70+ missions, exposing trafficking pipelines, corrupt officials, and the blackmail machinery that preys on children. Tony and Paul push into the spiritual war beneath the headlines, from Haiti’s voodoo strongholds to border influxes and the porn economy that feeds demand; asking why those with power keep burying the truth. Brace for a hard look in the mirror: rescuing the innocent begins with confronting the darkness buried deep within humanity itself.

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

What happens when rescuing women from human trafficking becomes a direct confrontation with the powers of darkness? Tony and Kenny Sacht take you to the frontlines, where spiritual warfare erupts in brothels, prayers break through demonic resistance, and the unseen realm pushes back against every act of freedom. From lightning-split nights to moments when entire rescue missions were supernaturally threatened, this episode reveals the cost of fighting evil face to face, and the power that comes when heaven joins the battle.

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

What if the people following you weren’t just people at all? Andrea recounts a year of escalating gang-stalking so intense she feared leaving her home, cars trying to run her off the road, strangers attempting to open her door, and a man who posed as a fellow “targeted individual” only to vanish in the woods and then astral project into her bedroom a week later with demons laughing all around. This wasn’t paranoia; she describes magic tricks, coded hand signals, and an attack so violent she became physically ill for days. Against this backdrop of spiritual warfare and deception, childhood visitations, a wizard-like figure pulling her into another realm, psychedelic glimpses of the fairy world; Andrea reaches a breaking point and cries out to Jesus, triggering the most life-altering experience of her story.

What if a hidden meadow in the wilderness held more than just trees and grass? In this episode, Tony, Joel, and Ward recount their expedition into a place where cubes of light appeared on thermal cameras, radios crackled with unexplainable interference, and perceptions bent in ways that felt supernatural. From bizarre spiritual attacks to face-melting visions, the crew wrestles with forces that seem intent on deceiving and dividing. Their story reveals a battle between the counterfeit and the true, where even a cube might point to the cross.

In Episode 635: Summoning The Demon, we are joined by Alan and Evan DiDio, discussing their experiences at the Armed Conference 2023 and the impact of the information that was shared there. Tony then introduces Alan DiDio's new book, "Summoning the Demon: AI, Aliens, and the Antichrist," exploring the convergence of artificial intelligence, transhumanism, biblical prophecies, and the potential modern-day resurgence of Nephilim. Alan emphasizes the church's need to engage with these topics, considering the biblical narrative's relevance to contemporary discussions about AI and alien phenomena. They then highlight a broader spiritual awakening among younger generations, attributed to an increased awareness of the presence of evil in the world, prompting a greater interest in spirituality beyond traditional religious confines.

What if your dreams weren’t dreams at all, but battlegrounds where heaven and hell fought for your soul? Former MMA fighter Aaron shares a 15-year journey of visions, temptations, and terrifying encounters with darkness that blur the line between spiritual and physical reality. From being dragged before Satan’s throne and offered soul-binding contracts to standing in the radiant presence of Jesus Himself, his story is as unsettling as it is eye-opening. This isn’t just a testimony, it’s a warning about the unseen war raging behind the veil.

In Episode 570, "The Realm Of The Fallen," we are joined by Ryan Burns of the HERO Paranormal podcast. He had a dramatic encounter with a skinwalker in the vicinity of Skinwalker Ranch, an experience that fueled his curiosity to explore further. Ryan managed to purchase a property adjacent to Skinwalker Ranch, naming it "Space Wolf Research," as he embarked on plans to utilize this property for his own research endeavors, delving into the myriad of strange occurrences that inhabit the Uinta Basin.

Ryan had previously appeared on Episode 202: Skinwalker Ranch, where our conversation continued even after recording about the possibility of me visiting his research property. Last July, the Merkel Media documentary team embarked on a week-long camping expedition on the property, seeking to unveil the mysteries shrouded within the ancient grounds. During our time there, we encountered numerous experiences, prompting Ryan to join us today to discuss these occurrences and shed light on the latest developments on the property since the departure of the Merkel Media team.

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

Joel Thomas - ShutUp N Drive

YouTube | Apple Music | Spotify

In this episode, Jay recounts a chilling childhood encounter in rural Virginia, where a massive, dog-like creature emerged from the woods, rose onto two legs, and vanished into his family’s property. What followed was a terrifying night of unnatural growls and screams that left his family scrambling for safety and questioning reality. Now, decades later, Jay revisits the memory he once buried, tying it to other strange phenomena and the charged history of the land, convinced that what he saw was no ordinary animal. His story blurs the line between trauma, folklore, and the possibility of something far older stalking the woods.
