In this episode of Bigfoot Society, host Jeremiah Byron talks with Joel Thomas of Merkel Media and Free the Rabbits about his terrifying Bigfoot encounter in the forests of Washington State — and the deeper mysteries that came with it.Joel describes what happened the night he was surrounded by heavy footfalls, foul odors, and strange whistling sounds deep in the Pacific Northwest woods. But the story doesn't stop there. He also opens up about the spiritual and metaphysical dimensions of these events — how encounters like this may tie into spiritual warfare, ancient entities, and the unseen realms that connect paranormal phenomena around the world.The discussion explores topics such as:Bigfoot and the energy of the land in WashingtonFaith, fear, and discernment during cryptid investigationsJoel's thoughts on Dogman, Skinwalker Ranch, and demonic deceptionWhy he believes many “creature” encounters may have supernatural rootsThe mission of Free the Rabbits and its connection to truth-seeking and freedom from fearWhether you're fascinated by cryptids, intrigued by paranormal spirituality, or drawn to real eyewitness Bigfoot stories, this episode blends field investigation with a rare, honest conversation about faith, darkness, and the unknown.Resources: Link to all films discussed:https://merkelfilms.comFree the Rabbit show:https://www.youtube.com/@FreeTheRabbits
We live in a world where we've witnessed extraordinary things—innovation, cultural change, and rapid technological growth. Many of us, or people we know, have seen pivotal moments in history. But there's a difference between witnessing something and bearing witness to it. One is passive. The other is active—and has the power to change us and the world around us. This is how the Jesus-movement began. Not with pressure, persuasion, or argument—but with a simple invitation: come and see.
Was Aleister Crowley truly the wickedest man alive, or a covert double agent hiding behind the mask of the occult? In this deep-dive with Joel Thomas of Free the Rabbits, he unpacks Crowley's shadowy connections to British intelligence, the Golden Dawn, and secret wartime missions that blurred the line between sorcery and spycraft. The conversation drifts into the strange parallels between his sketch of LAM and modern alien imagery, whispers of early mind-control experiments, and a web of influence that may have stretched from ancient rituals to world wars. In the end, Crowley emerges not as a man torn between good and evil, but as one who fully embraced the dark to serve his hidden masters.

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.Free the Rabbits- https://podcasts.apple.com/ag/podcast/free-the-rabbits/id1752866529 Free The Rabbits https://youtu.be/IPalYBUgo3M?si=SSanqtKR6AU-zevJPDF available to our sponsors only-- copyright issueTimeline:00:09 Controlling the narrative00:54 Guest intro: Joel Thomas of Free the Rabbits03:19 Breaking down the deception in fringe spaces05:39 Growing up with fringe interests07:55 Creating a balanced, biblical lens10:00 Real disinformation and the Cass Sunstein paper12:10 The "everything is fake" trap14:25 We weren't made for heaven—our purpose on Earth16:49 The problem with “waking people up”19:05 What the Sunstein document got right21:28 The rise of conspiracy culture since 200923:46 Critical thinking vs. jumping to conclusions26:11 Disinformation and the “truth-er” crowd28:31 The Sunstein paper and its ripple effects30:51 Nudge theory and behavior manipulation33:04 Noise-canceling deception35:29 The real aim: dismantle trust37:50 Disinformation leads to self-censorship40:02 Discernment and spiritual grounding42:21 The root issue: discontentment and money44:40 End times hype and the business behind fear46:58 Supernatural encounters and spiritual warfare49:22 Film projects, portals, and the Meadow Project51:41 Alistair Crowley, British intel, and cryptids54:00 Final reflections and farewells

If you're curious, cautious, or somewhere in between, the Spirit invites you to lean in, let go, and be led.
In this message, Joel Thomas explores how valuing independence over connection can isolate us from the people who help us grow, and how even King David's greatest failure stemmed from acting alone. True strength isn't standing on your own; it's embracing interdependence, the way God designed us to live. In this 4-part series, we unpack powerful principles that can help you find, build, and keep the kind of friendships your soul actually needs. Because great friendships aren't just nice—they're necessary.
What do you do when the miracle doesn't come? When the healing doesn't happen, the relationship doesn't restore, or the door stays shut? If you've ever felt abandoned, overlooked, or stuck asking Why, God?, this message is for you. In Part 3 of Miracles: Then & Now, Joel Thomas shares from his own heartbreak and from the story of John the Baptist—someone Jesus Himself called the greatest man who ever lived, yet who didn't receive his miracle. If you've been holding onto hope but struggling with doubt, this message offers an honest reminder: your circumstances don't define God's love or His faithfulness. There's more going on than what you can hear and see.
If you're curious, cautious, or somewhere in between, the Spirit invites you to lean in, let go, and be led.

During trials, our tendency is to ask God to change what's going on around us. But God is more interested in transforming what's going on in us.
James opens his letter to suffering believers with a bold challenge: “Consider it pure joy when you face trials.” In a comfort-obsessed world, that sounds outrageous—but James insists that trials grow perseverance, and perseverance matures us. Instead of seeking escape, we're called to let the tension shape us and ask God for wisdom, not just relief. Real wisdom leads to peace, humility, and growth, even when life feels unfair. Often, the breakthrough we want around us starts with a change within us. Discomfort may be painful—but it's also where God does His deepest and most transformative work.
The easy path is tempting, but God often does his greatest work on the hard road—where faith, obedience, and courage grow.
In a world that constantly pushes us toward comfort, convenience, and the path of least resistance, Jesus invites us into something deeper—something harder. But what if the hard path is actually the best one? What if growth, purpose, and true joy are found not in avoiding struggle, but in embracing it? In this message, we'll explore what it means to choose hard—to intentionally walk the narrow road of faith, obedience, and sacrifice. Joel Thomas presents a message to help us discover that choosing hard isn't about being reckless—it's about being courageous. And it's often the very place where God does His greatest work in us.
