In episode 653: Super Soldier's Teleportation, James Szubski, from episode 591: The Secret Guardian of Hanford, shares spine-tingling tales of paranormal encounters in the region. Inheriting Margie's Outdoor Store, James has collected over 300 reports of strange phenomena, including sightings of Sasquatch, UFOs, and a mysterious black panther creature. Notably, there are accounts of an 11-foot-tall Sasquatch-like being. However, that is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to James's story. With a military background that endowed him with extraordinary physical and cognitive abilities, he navigates the rugged terrain with ease, almost as if her were a real life Captain America. His adventures include a personal experience of spatial displacement in Brokeleg Burrows, an area notorious for strange occurrences and disappearances, like that of Chris Zitzowitz. He also mentions sightings of cloaked triangular craft and whispers of covert military operations. James's relentless curiosity and willingness to explore the unknown create a sense of wonder and adventure, inviting others to join him in unraveling the mysteries of the Columbia River Gorge.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Spiritual warfare takes center stage as Darlene shares a disturbing testimony that began inside a home she believes was marked by darkness before her family ever arrived. Her childhood fear escalated into something far more sinister when her brother changed overnight and the house seemed to turn against everyone inside it. Darlene describes years of terrifying encounters that made her question whether the attacks were dreams or memories of something happening beyond the physical world. As Tony Merkel traces the details of her story, the conversation moves toward Michael Aquino and the possibility that military intelligence had darker connections than most people are willing to face. The deeper Darlene goes, the more her memories point toward ritual abuse and a hidden world that preyed on children through fear and spiritual control. This is not just a story about darkness because Darlene also shares how Jesus Christ brought healing to the places she once locked away. After decades of silence, she speaks with the strength of someone who survived what was meant to destroy her.If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890

Isaac Weishaupt joins Tony in studio to trace the ancient roots of today's push toward artificial intelligence, transhumanism, and the digital matrix. He connects the occult pursuit of hidden knowledge with modern technology's promise to remake humanity and blur the line between the spiritual and the synthetic. The conversation moves through Gnosticism, ancient Egypt, alchemy, secret societies, UFO disclosure, Silicon Valley ideology, and the recurring temptation for man to become like God. What emerges is a warning that the future being sold as progress may be tied to a much older spiritual agenda.

In Episode 264: I Saw Death, Curtis joins us to share his experiences with the Grim Reaper. He recalls seeing jet black smoke form next to his bed, and then a mysterious hooded figure appeared from within the smoke. Curtis details this experience, and others, with the same entity.

Chrissy joins Tony to share the story of a life marked by the supernatural from the very beginning. Raised as a Jehovah's Witness, she grew up carrying spiritual questions that only deepened after childhood encounters with demonic attacks, an alien abduction, a Bigfoot sighting, and the lingering effects of Santeria in her family line. Her search for truth eventually pulled her into New Age spirituality and Reiki, where what first appeared healing and light-filled slowly became dark, oppressive, and destructive. At her breaking point, Chrissy cried out to God and was met by Jesus in a way that shattered the deception and began her journey into repentance, deliverance, and restoration. This conversation explores spiritual warfare, deception, discernment, and the power of Christ to rescue someone from darkness.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

What happens when the dream you built your life around becomes the place where everything stops? Nils Glenn spent years chasing soccer, only to collapse on the field when his heart suddenly failed. As doctors fought to save him, Nils says he saw himself standing in darkness until Jesus reached for him and showed him a kingdom still ahead. What followed was not a clean, easy recovery, but a painful confrontation with fear, identity, and the fragile line between life and eternity. In this episode, Nils shares the story of his cardiac arrest, his second near-death scare, his love for the supernatural layers of Scripture, and the calling he believes God placed on his life. His testimony is a sobering reminder that God can meet us at the edge of death and send us back with purpose.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

In Episode 466: What Is CERN? we are joined by Dave Zed from Generation Zed Podcast. A few months ago, I was a guest on the popular show, The Union of the Unwanted, a panel discussion show. They brought me on to talk about UFOs, and that is where I met Dave. He blew me away with the knowledge he has obtained and he left me wanting to learn more. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, when we had a listener ask in our Instagram comments, "What is CERN?" I knew  then that I had to do a show on CERN, because the last CERN-related episode was Episode 57! It's clearly been too long and new listeners need to be introduced to the subject. I reached out to Dave, as he seemed to be someone who might know a little about CERN, and my assumptions we correct. On Episode 466, Dave breaks down what he believes CERN to be and what its true intentions are in the world. Is it simply a harmless underground 17-mile-in-diameter particle accelerator that crosses the border of Switzerland and France? Or, is there something more to it that they are not telling us about? Is it opening portals to another dimension? Are things actually coming through these supposed portals? If the latter is true, could we possibly be living in the real-life version of Stranger Things or worse? We explore these topics in today's episode, "What Is CERN?"Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

The Backrooms movie finally exposed what lives in liminal spaces. Something real is waiting in the in-between places — and more people are finding it.What are the Backrooms, and what waits inside them? Are they a hidden world within our own? Are they another realm where tangible monsters exist and occasionally come for us? Or are they a bridge zone between two realities, a place where humans accidentally slip through the cracks and encounter the guardians, parasites, or predators of the other side? Maybe the Backrooms are not simply physical spaces at all. Maybe they are a kind of mind bridge, a psychological doorway where human consciousness steps into another realm through the architecture of the mind. Whatever they are, one thing seems clear: they represent liminal space. They are the in-between places. The places that should be empty, but are not. And more people are finding them.The movie The Backrooms explores this idea, whether the director fully realized it or not. It taps into something that has been building in the culture for years: the sense that the walls between worlds are getting thinner, the doorways are becoming more frequent, and the impossible is being introduced as entertainment before it is accepted as reality. Why are movies like this becoming more blatant? Why are stories about portals, hidden realms, entities, liminal spaces, and otherworldly intrusions showing up more and more? Maybe these films are not just entertainment. Maybe they are part of a larger cultural conditioning process. We are being trained through story. The culture is being engineered through movies, shows, games, and digital folklore. And maybe the reason is simple: the reality of what is coming will only be palatable if people have been conditioned to accept it beforehand. If the unbelievable has already been made familiar, then when the real thing shows up, people will not reject it outright. They will recognize it.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

What if alien disclosure is not the revelation people have been waiting for, but the trap they never saw coming? In this episode, Tony and Fringe unpack the hidden danger buried inside the disclosure narrative. They explore how the promise of answers, advanced beings, and cosmic origins may become a Trojan Horse designed to pull people away from the truth of Jesus Christ. Fringe warns that the coming deception may not look distant, vague, or purely spiritual, but physical, convincing, and deeply personal. Together, they discuss why the church must prepare for a narrative that claims aliens created humanity, shaped religion, and hold the keys to mankind's future. This conversation is a sober warning that disclosure may arrive wrapped in wonder, but carrying a spiritual war inside.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

What happens when a former ghost hunter realizes the spirits she spent years chasing were never what they claimed to be? In this episode, Tony sits down with Kristina Costanza to unpack her journey from Catholic roots to paranormal investigation, witchcraft, psychic practices, and New Age deception. Kristina shares how curiosity opened doors to darker encounters, including terrifying manifestations, spiritual oppression, and a shadowy presence that followed her home. As her life spiraled through fear, depression, occult practices, and failed attempts to save herself, she began to discover that no ritual, crystal, sage, or spirit guide could set her free. Her testimony takes a powerful turn when Jesus breaks through the deception, lifts the veil from her eyes, and leads her into true freedom. This is a raw conversation about spiritual warfare, the danger of occult doors, and the unmatched authority of Christ over darkness.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

East Tennessee has a reputation for strange woods, hidden caves, Bigfoot sightings, Dogman encounters, and unexplained Appalachian legends, but today, we go even deeper. Tony and the Slingshot Nation crew sit down with Ricky to explore bizarre supernatural encounters in the forests of Maryville, Alcoa, Kodak, and the surrounding Tennessee mountains, including a Bigfoot-like creature crawling across a trail on its fingers and toes, possible Dogman activity near the Greenway, eerie cave systems beneath East Tennessee, occult bloodline connections, spiritual warfare, shadow figures, strange knocks on homes, and the chilling idea that something ancient may be moving through the woods after dark. From cryptid sightings to demonic encounters, today we ask one unsettling question: what is really crawling through East Tennessee?If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890

In this episode, Tony experiments with a new watch-along format as he revisits Episode 508, “Nephilim Mind Virus,” featuring Dr. Laura Sanger. What began as a spontaneous look back becomes a reflection on one of the most pivotal conversations in the history of The Confessionals. Tony explains how that episode helped shift his perspective from viewing encounters as isolated stories to recognizing the deeper spiritual war behind them. He revisits topics like Nephilim bloodlines, demonic oppression, spiritual mapping, deliverance, cryptids, parasites, and the blurred line between the physical and supernatural. Along the way, Tony reflects on his own growth, past mistakes, church hurt, renewed conviction, and the responsibility to walk with discernment. This watch-along is part commentary, part confession, and part spiritual recalibration for anyone who has followed the evolution of the show.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Could we actually be the final generation? In this episode, Tony and John Bevere dive deep into the biblical, historical, and prophetic markers that point to a critical timeline between 2026 and 2075. From the ancient calculations of the Essenes and the Dead Sea Scrolls to the modern state of the global church, we explore the urgent reality of the season we are living in.  John Bevere is a respected minister, bestselling author, and co-founder of Messenger International, whose decades of teaching have deeply shaped the global Christian community. With more than 40 years in ministry and over 25 books to his name, John brings a weighty, Scripture-centered perspective to one of the most avoided and misunderstood topics in the church today: the return of Jesus Christ. Together, Tony and John discuss John's new book, "The King Is Coming", and why studying the second coming should not produce fear, laziness, or arguments, but urgency, holiness, and a deeper love for Jesus. John explains why believers must see Christ's return not merely as an end-times event, but as the long-awaited wedding of the ages between the Bridegroom and His bride.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

In this Slingshot Nation live show, we dive into the strange wave of green orb and “meteor” activity showing up in the UFO Files, including the bizarre reports of glowing objects seen near active volcanoes. From the green “meteor” that appeared to streak over a volcano, to footage of strange lights hovering, darting, and seemingly disappearing near Mexico's Popocatépetl, the question becomes harder to ignore. Are we looking at natural phenomena, camera tricks, atmospheric events, or something far more unusual? With new clips circulating online and outlets reporting on claims of volcanic “portals,” UFO activity, and unexplained aerial objects, we are breaking down the footage, the theories, and the bigger pattern behind these sightings. Today, we ask whether these green lights are just meteors burning through the sky, or if they are part of a larger mystery hiding in plain sight.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

In this members episode, Tony, Derek, and Jack dig into a declassified CIA document centered on the Gateway Process, Hemi-Sync, and the Monroe Institute. What begins as a strange government study on consciousness quickly becomes a deeper conversation about out-of-body experiences, altered states, and the attempt to explain occult practices through scientific language. We break down how the document describes the mind, frequency, hypnosis, meditation, and the possibility of moving consciousness beyond the body. The discussion also explores how these ideas connect to astral projection, the search for hidden knowledge, and the dangers of opening doors that should remain closed. As the conversation unfolds, the Gateway Process begins to look less like harmless meditation and more like a spiritual experiment wrapped in government terminology. We examine whether this research points to a coming deception that reframes the supernatural as science. From the Monroe Institute to the CIA's interest in consciousness, this episode raises serious questions about what was really being studied and why.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

What happens when the church refuses to face the war hiding in plain sight?In this episode, Christina joins Tony to expose the front lines of spiritual warfare, where abuse survivors, MK Ultra programming, occult systems, and religious deception collide. Drawing from years of work in deliverance, intercession, crisis intervention, and survivor support, she explains how trauma can fracture people in ways the enemy exploits. Christina shares how God called her into strategic warfare for survivors of ritual abuse, mind control, and generational bondage. She also warns that many victims are trapped inside systems that look religious on the surface but are operating through control, sorcery, and abuse. This conversation goes deep into the battle for the children, the corruption hidden in churches and institutions, and the urgent need for discernment in the body of Christ. Christina's work is not theoretical, it is a fight for those who have been shattered, silenced, and spiritually hunted.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Are elite universities hiding something darker beneath the surface?In this episode of Slingshot Nation Live, Tony, Derek, and Jack dig into the strange overlap between Ivy League schools, occult history, secret societies, witchcraft courses, forbidden magic collections, and the possibility of underground mystery schools operating inside America's most prestigious institutions.From Harvard's divination and prophecy course to Yale's occult archives, Skull and Bones, Scroll and Key, Wolf's Head, alchemy manuscripts, secret societies, witch covens, portal lore, and even stories of werewolf spirits connected to Ivy League academia, this conversation asks a wild but important question: are these universities simply preserving history, or are they gateways into something much deeper?The discussion also connects pop culture shows like The Order, Wednesday, and other witchcraft-driven stories to real-world patterns involving elite schools, occult symbolism, spiritual warfare, and the war between the seen and unseen.Is the Ivy League just education, or is it also a front for hidden occult networks, secret rituals, and modern mystery schools?Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

A disturbing pattern has emerged around a growing list of missing and dead scientists who reportedly held clearances or worked in sensitive fields. In this members episode, Tony, Derek, and Jack examine whether these cases are isolated tragedies or pieces of a much larger operation hidden behind government secrecy. The conversation moves through Huntsville, JPL, Los Alamos, Wright-Patterson, anti-gravity research, nuclear secrecy, UAP disclosure, and the possibility that some discoveries were never meant to reach the public. As the dots begin to connect, the question becomes less about coincidence and more about control. Were these scientists silenced because of what they knew, what they saw, or what they were helping build? This raw discussion pushes into the tension between classified technology, spiritual deception, and the need to stay anchored in Christ while staring into the darkness.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

What happens when a pastor encounters the werewolf legends rooted in real spiritual warfare?In this episode, Tony sits down with Pastor Dave Bryan, from The Church of Glad Tidings in California, for a mind-bending conversation about deliverance, demonic oppression, and the supernatural realities many churches refuse to confront. Dave shares the chilling story of an Ivy League professor who claimed a witchcraft ritual invited a werewolf spirit into his life. What began as a teaching on Nebuchadnezzar's beastly transformation became a private deliverance encounter that Dave says changed the man's life. They also discuss spiritual warfare, the unseen realm, and why Western Christianity often struggles to believe the Bible's strangest stories. This episode pulls back the curtain on a world where darkness is real, but the authority of Jesus Christ is greater.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

In Episode 442: The Bigfoot Summoner, we speak with Terence, who recently had a live TikTok video of himself throat singing in the forest go viral. In the video, Terence was illustrating how his throat singing talent brought a deer out of the trees to observe him. But what he initially missed on camera is that there was more than just a deer and himself present at the time. He was quickly informed through comments on the video that there was a much larger creature lurking in the background. He tells us about this experience in the woods and what he makes of it, and we take a deeper dive into Terence's spiritual believes, which give him a unique take on about “bigfoot” might be.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

The latest UFO government files drop is being called a “nothing burger,” but why are people ignoring the fact that the FBI and government are still releasing files on UFOs, witnesses, strange light phenomena, Area 51, feline entities, and unexplained craft?

Ricky joins Tony in studio to share a lifetime of disturbing encounters that seem tied to his family's occult past. He begins with a chilling childhood experience during a blackout in NYC, where something impossible appeared inside his apartment. Years later, his curiosity led him into the woods, where a ritual involving blood brought him face to face with a massive black dogman. As the stories unfold, Tony and Ricky explore whether these encounters were random events or part of a deeper spiritual pattern. This episode dives into dogman encounters, bloodline curses, portals, and the dark forces that may follow families for generations.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

What if the healing you were chasing was the doorway the enemy used to get in? Christa Black shares how a search for healing led her into New Age practices, plant medicine ceremonies, and encounters she later recognized as dangerous spiritual agreements. What began as peace, synchronicity, and apparent breakthrough slowly opened the door to deception, entities, and what she describes as second heaven activity. She explains how defiled timelines, false healing, ayahuasca, tarot, and manifestation pulled her deeper into a spiritual realm she did not understand. As everything began to collapse, Krista realized the same supernatural world she thought was helping her was actually taking ground in her life. But in the wreckage, Jesus met her again and began redeeming what the second heaven nearly took.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

In Episode 603: The Bridgewater Triangle Pukwudgies, our guest is Phill Anderson, also known as "Exploring With Phill." Joining us in the studio, Phill takes us into the latest findings from his investigations within the Bridgewater Triangle. His focus centers on encounters with Pukwudgies and other supernatural entities deeply rooted in Native American folklore, specifically within the Wampanoag traditions. Phill recounts his experiences in locations such as Elkmont and the mysterious Hockomock Swamp.Throughout the conversation between Tony and Phill, they explore the intriguing possibility that Pukwudgies may have origins tied to magicians or angels. Initially leaning toward the concept of human or magician creation, particularly through alchemical processes, Phill's perspective takes a twist during a recent Hockomock Swamp investigation. Revelations from a spirit box suggest a connection between Pukwudgies and angels, hinting at a potential link to fallen angels.The dialogue further gets into the notion of Pukwudgies being under the control or ownership of these supernatural entities. Expressions like "he's the owner" and "hold the leash" are discussed, implying a certain level of authority or influence wielded by angels over these Pukwudgies.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

What if UFO disclosure is not revealing aliens, but exposing something ancient that has been working behind the scenes all along?In this episode, Tony is joined by Darren Stott, pastor of Eden Church near Seattle, for a conversation on disclosure, fallen angel technology, portals of darkness, and the spiritual war unfolding through the UFO phenomenon. Darren and Tony discuss why “aliens” may be better understood through a biblical supernatural worldview, how technology and principalities may be working together, and why the church needs discernment for what is coming.They also dive into MK-Ultra, missing scientists, government narratives, Bigfoot, shapeshifting shamans, and the dark spiritual systems that may be hiding in plain sight. If disclosure is opening the door to something ancient, the real question is whether the church will recognize the deception before the world welcomes it in.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

What happens when deliverance ministry stops being theory and becomes a direct confrontation with darkness?In this episode, Mike Brewer shares the encounters that thrust him into a life of deliverance ministry, from his first shocking confrontation with a demon in an Applebee's parking lot to learning how trauma, occult involvement, bloodline agreements, and hidden spiritual strongholds can keep people bound. Mike walks through the moments that shaped his ministry, including violent manifestations, demonic resistance, supernatural intervention, and the hard-won lessons that taught him deliverance is not about hype, fear, or performance, but about loving people enough to fight for their freedom.As the conversation unfolds, Mike explains how God trained him through real-life encounters, why some deliverances require deeper discernment, and how his ministry has expanded from local sessions in East Tennessee to churches and nations around the world. His stories reveal a sobering reality: the spiritual realm is far more complex than many realize, but the authority of Jesus is greater than every curse, kingdom, and demonic assignment.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

In Episode 347: Animal Mutilations, we talk with Mark and then Amber about the bizarre experiences they've each had. After his grandfather passed away, Mark moved into his grandfather's house as a young boy, where a lot of weird things happened to him. What scared him the most was a night as a teenager, when he woke up to see the imprints of hands making their way across his bed! Following Mark's stories, Amber tells us about strange animal mutilations occurring in her area. She also describes how something once coaxed her up a mountainside, moving further and further up the mountain the closer she tried to get to it. Later on, Amber was called back to the same area as part of a search-and-rescue team for a man who was discovered frozen to death; upon witnessing the scene, she was left wondering if whatever thing had been drawing her up the mountainside was responsible for that man's death.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

What if the Appalachian Mountains are hiding ancient places built for something far darker than history will admit? In this episode, Tony sits down with Bo Kennedy to explore the unsettling possibility of hidden Nephilim temples buried deep in Appalachia, where legends of giants, serpent mounds, cryptids, witchcraft, and spiritual warfare still seem to echo through the mountains. Bo shares the real research and personal experiences that inspired his novel, Army of God: Terror by Night, a story rooted in biblical warfare, ancient curses, forgotten mounds, and the fight between prayer and the powers of darkness. As the conversation unfolds, the mystery of Appalachia becomes more than folklore. It becomes a warning about what may still be hidden in the land, and what it means to stand firm in Christ when the darkness pushes back.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

As AI moves from simple tools into AGI and eventually ASI, the conversation explores how technology could shift from convenience into something far more influential, even spiritual in nature. Vicki warns that the real danger isn't just intelligence, but dependence, where AI begins to shape thoughts, relationships, and even replace prayer, devotion, and human connection. They discuss how each person's threshold will be different, and why discernment matters more than ever as society speeds forward with no way to stop. From eerie real-world cases to the subtle ways AI is already integrating into daily life, the question becomes unavoidable: will you recognize your exit when you pass it, and will you have the strength to take it?Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

In Episode 540: Portals To Hell & Biblical Super Soldiers we are joined by Bishop Alan Didio! I first came across the Bishop on his Instagram reels where he was talking about portals to hell, monsters in the Bible, and end-times prophecies. Since then he has got even more popular and I couldn't wait any longer to get him on the show. Though we didn't hit on everything I planned on we went deep on portals to hell, biblical super soldiers, Enoch, what heaven will be like, supernatural powers, and miraculous healings. Next time we have him on we will hit on end times prophecies, Revelation, biblical monsters, A.I., and transhumanism because Bishop Didio has an opinion on all of it!Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Eleven scientists. Twelve, if you count the latest. All dead or missing. All tied to classified nuclear programs, aerospace research, UAP disclosure, or the deepest corners of America's top secret defense infrastructure. And now the FBI, the House Oversight Committee, the Department of War, and the Department of Energy are all circling the same question. Is this a coincidence, or a coordinated purge of the people who know too much?What if the witnesses to disclosure are being erased before disclosure ever happens?On this Slingshot Nation  live we walk through the full list, the timeline, and the names you're not supposed to connect. A retired Air Force major general who vanished out of his Albuquerque home without his phone or glasses. An MIT plasma and fusion director shot dead outside his own house. A JPL materials scientist who patented the super-alloys used in the reusable rockets flying right now. A decorated test pilot and his entire family gone in a single plane crash. Los Alamos. Caltech. NASA JPL. Kansas City National Security Campus. Wright-Patterson. The same labs, the same clearances, the same silence.Congress is calling it a national security threat. The White House is calling it "pretty serious stuff." Mainstream outlets are calling it coincidence. We're going to look at the pattern they don't want you to see. The aerospace black projects, the UAP disclosure witnesses, the foreign adversary angle, the Blue Origin and SpaceX connections, and the spiritual warfare dimension underneath all of it.Because if a great deception is coming, the first people to disappear would be the ones who could expose it.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

What if the world before the flood was not just history, but a warning? In this episode, Tony sits down with Will Blesch to discuss his book, In the Shadow of Goliath, and the biblical framework behind topics like the Nephilim, Genesis 6, UFOs, hybridization, the Watchers, and the mark of the beast. Will shares how his early fascination with the unexplained, his time exploring the occult and New Age beliefs, and his eventual commitment to Jesus shaped the ideas that led to the book. Together, they examine whether ancient biblical accounts may offer a clearer lens for understanding modern paranormal phenomena and whether the agenda described in Genesis 6 could still be unfolding today.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

She thought she was chasing light, but step by step it was leading her deeper into darkness. In this episode, Angela Scafidi shares her raw testimony of being pulled into the world of New Age spirituality and witchcraft, where what began as a desire to help people spiraled into full immersion. Astrology, tarot, Reiki, yoga, and ritual circles slowly turned into what she now recognizes as a coven . What felt empowering at first became consuming, as she describes years of going further and further down this rabbit hole with no desire to escape, convinced she had found truth and enlightenment . But behind the illusion, something darker was at work. What she once believed were spirit guides and spiritual encounters revealed themselves to be demonic deception, opening doors that only led to deeper bondage . Everything changed when the Holy Spirit interrupted her life, leading her to completely renounce it all, burning the objects, stripping her home of everything tied to the occult, and turning fully to Jesus Christ in a moment of radical surrender . What follows is a powerful story of deliverance, transformation, and redemption. Proof that no matter how deep you go, Jesus still pulls people out of the fire.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Brian lives in southern Ohio near the West Virginia border, where he has seen the creature known as Bigfoot on several occasions. During his third encounter, Brian's experience turned unpleasant when he found himself in a dangerous situation. While hunting for turkey, he drew the attention a Bigfoot that was not happy to see him. Faced with a decision to make, Brian knew it was either him or this giant creature that was going to die.

He says he has never seen injuries like this from a wild animal. DNA is being tested. No identification has been made.

Researchers are calling it a Bigfoot flap — the largest cluster of sightings since the 1970s. Something was moving through those woods. And whatever it was, it was moving fast.Two stories.

What if the pyramids were never built to honor the dead, but to keep something buried from ever getting out?In this episode, Tony sits down with researcher and YouTuber, Jay Woodward of WoodwardTV, to dig into one of the most unsettling theories emerging alongside the current wave of UAP disclosure: that massive, ancient craft are buried all over the world and they can't be moved. Jay breaks down his theory of geometric shape power, explaining how the geometric design of structures like the pyramids may function not as tombs or monuments, but as containment fields, ancient prisons engineered to hold entities, craft, and energies too dangerous to destroy. From the tunnels beneath Egypt that have been flooded and filled with concrete, to a craft that was reportedly activated and had to be reburied, Tony and Jay connect the dots between buried ruins, Nephilim lore, the Sphinx, and what may be hiding in plain sight beneath some of the most studied structures on Earth.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Something is being grown… and it's learning how to be you. In this episode, Tony is joined by Ali Siadatan, who unpacks years of research into what he believes is a structured alien-human hybrid program operating behind the scenes. He describes a system where abductees are used in a controlled reproductive process, genetic material taken, pregnancies induced, and fetuses removed, only to be developed into hybrid beings off-world . But creation is only the beginning, as Ali explains how these hybrids are then trained through human interaction, learning emotions, relationships, and behavior by directly accessing the human mind . As the program advances, the focus appears to shift toward integration, with reports of hybrids being coached on how to live among us, obtaining identification, learning social norms, and blending into everyday society . What emerges is a chilling possibility: this isn't just experimentation, it's preparation.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Millions are playing a viral "game" where someone guides you into a trance to walk through doors inside your own mind. They're calling it Red Door Yellow Door. Most think it's harmless.It isn't.On this Slingshot Nation Live, we break down where this ritual actually comes from, its direct roots in shamanic spirit journeying and occult trance work, and why people keep encountering the same dark entity behind those doors, a tall man in a suit no one told them to expect.We're also discussing how NASA's Artemis II just carried astronauts around the far side of the moon for the first time since 1972.

He died for 15 minutes… and says he stood in heaven, spoke with an angel, and was sent back with a message he couldn't ignore.Tony sits down with Rich, a former Alaska public safety officer, whose story builds toward a near-death experience that changed everything. After his heart stopped during a medical procedure, Rich describes waking in a place of overwhelming light, standing on what looked like sapphire glass, surrounded by swirling, radiant particles and a towering angel who confirmed he was in heaven. He recounts being led toward God's throne, witnessing portals opening in the sky with angels moving in and out, and encountering Jesus in a moment defined by power, clarity, and indescribable love. Though he didn't want to return, he was sent back, only to wake on the table declaring that heaven is real. Along the way, his earlier experiences in Alaska, moving stars, unexplained disappearances, and encounters tied to strange entities in the wilderness, take on new meaning through a spiritual lens. This episode moves from mystery to revelation, pointing to a reality that may be far closer than we realize.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

He died for 18 days… and what he saw changed everything.Gabe Poirot joins Tony to share the shocking moment a skateboard accident left him clinically dead, launching him into an encounter beyond the veil where he witnessed the chaos of the second heaven, the reality of spiritual warfare, and was ultimately drawn into the presence of Jesus Himself . What he describes isn't symbolic, it's a vivid account of leaving his body, being pulled through a war-filled spiritual realm, and standing before Christ, where fear, guilt, and shame were instantly erased by grace. The conversation unpacks what he saw about prayer, spiritual authority, and the unseen battle happening right now, along with the urgency of the time we're living in. Sent back with a clear message, Gabe now shares what he believes people are missing: this life is not the full story, and the window to respond is closing faster than we think.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

In Episode 428: Childhood Abductions we are talking with Robert. He has had a wild life of experiences with abductions where as a child he would be checked on by aliens only to be rejected because according to them he was "flawed." The police were called once because his parents were convinced their house was broken into but when the police narrowed the breaking and entering to Roberts's room he knew it wasn't a human that came in. He lived his whole life with the memories of these experiences and recently it all came full circle. Robert met his girlfriend's friend and this friend tells him that she too was abducted as a child. She also tells him that she recognizes him because when she was being abducted as a child the aliens would frequently stop at his house and she would see him through the window. This friend then proceeds to describe Robert's childhood home perfectly for him proving that she was present during his abductions.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Former Congressman Matt Gaetz just said something that has people asking serious questions, and most aren't realizing the full weight of it.On this Slingshot Nation, we break down the growing conversation around alien-human hybrids and what it could actually mean. Is this advanced science, a controlled narrative, or something that connects back to ancient accounts and spiritual realities? Why is this topic being spoken about more openly right now?We're digging into the deeper layer. There's a bigger picture forming, and it's not being talked about clearly.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.
