This episode goes deep into the wild and often misunderstood world of deliverance, the religious spirit, and spiritual formation. Brandon and Lindsy sit down with Michael Miller—pastor, teacher, and co-host of Remnant Radio—to tackle everything from charismatic excesses and cessationism to biblical boundaries and the power of intention. From demons hiding in plain sight to generational spirits, exorcism rituals, and the fine line between hype and holiness, this one pulls no punches. Plus, Michael shares a jaw-dropping recent encounter involving a spirit named Lilith. You’re not going to want to miss this conversation.

What if the chaos in conspiracy communities was by design? In this thought-provoking conversation, we’re joined by a guest who's no stranger to the shadowy overlaps of fringe beliefs, government psyops, and the supernatural. We crack open the “Cass Sunstein Effect” and explore how psychological manipulation, social media echo chambers, and even the church contribute to a distorted search for truth. From demons to disinformation, from Crowley to cryptids, nothing’s off the table in this deep-dive into discernment, deception, and discernment again. It’s a masterclass in keeping your eyes open—spiritually and intellectually.

Let’s just say this isn’t your average history recap. In the final episode of our Operation Paperclip series, we connect the dots between Nazi scientists, modern surveillance, moral decay, and the spiritual consequences of trading ethics for technological progress. From Neuralink to data manipulation, we peel back the shiny lab coat to expose the sinister roots—and lasting legacy—of Paperclip. The crew gets raw about the church’s prophetic role, fifth-generation warfare, and whether we’re building the next Babel. Here it is a full-spectrum analysis of power, eschatology, and what it means to resist with truth.

In this episode, we tackle the misunderstood world of Christian witchcraft—but not in the way you think. Dr. Robin Braun is back and shares wild but sobering stories from her work with survivors of spiritual abuse, cult infiltration in churches, and how manipulation often masquerades as ministry. We also explore spiritual gifts, quantum healing, resonance, and the fine line between authentic supernatural experiences and counterfeit. It's eye-opening, challenging, and full of hope.

You know it’s going to be a wild ride when Vicki Joy Anderson is in the house! This episode is a no-holds-barred deep dive into spiritual warfare, the challenges of isolation in fringe Christian circles, and the struggle of navigating biblical truth in a world full of traditions and misconceptions. We talk about deconstruction without destruction, the pitfalls of making secondary issues into deal-breakers, and the lost art of constructive correction among believers. Oh, and somehow we even managed to tie in rock tumblers, flat earth, and the importance of embracing suffering. Be prepared because this conversation is one for the books!

Alright folks, this is it—the grand finale of our Colossians Bible study! We've been unpacking this powerful letter, and in this episode, we wrap it all up with Chapter 4. Turns out, Colossae wasn’t too different from our world today—full of mixed-up beliefs and buffet-style spirituality. We dive into the significance of Paul’s closing words, the importance of staying connected in the faith, and the need to balance both an alert mind and a thankful heart. Oh, and we also nerd out over some biblical names, lost letters, and the ever-important question: what does this passage show us about God, people, and our calling? It’s been real, it’s been deep, and it’s been a wild ride through Colossians.

Get ready, folks, because we're diving deep into the shadowy world of Operation Paperclip—again! This time, it's Lindsy's turn to take the reins as we uncover the dark reality of N∆ℤ! war criminals and scientists who weren’t just brought over for their rocketry skills but were also deeply entangled in intelligence, chemical warfare, and Cold War espionage. From Klaus Barbie's twisted post-war career to the murky alliances forged under the guise of anti-communism, this episode exposes how far the U.S. was willing to go in the name of national security. The question remains: Did we really win WWII, or did the N∆ℤ! ideology just find a new home?
