Something is shifting, and what happened behind the scenes at The Confessionals has the team convinced the battle is becoming more real. After an intense Second Heaven roundtable, a violent storm moves in as disturbing dreams and unexplained experiences begin unfolding across multiple homes. The timing and similarities are difficult to ignore, leaving Tony and the team questioning just how much spiritual warfare is taking place beyond what we can see. But as the darkness becomes more tangible, so does their understanding of the authority and power found in Jesus Christ. This raw conversation pulls back the curtain on a remarkable twenty-four hours that may mark the beginning of an entirely new chapter for The Confessionals.If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890

What is really lurking in the forests of Land Between the Lakes? Returning guest and retired sheriff Martin Groves joins Tony Merkel once again after sharing some of the most gripping and disturbing Dogman and Bigfoot encounters ever discussed on the show in Episode 514, “Terror In The LBL,” and Episode 538, “Dogman's Trace Of Death.” Drawing from years of investigating the strange activity surrounding this mysterious wilderness, Martin recounts encounters that seem to blur the line between flesh-and-blood creatures and something far more supernatural. As the conversation goes deeper, an unsettling possibility begins to emerge: what witnesses are seeing in these forests may only be one part of a much larger mystery connected to forces beyond our understanding. Through the fear, unanswered questions, and increasingly strange patterns surrounding these encounters, Martin ultimately points toward God as the answer to understanding what may truly be lurking beyond the veil.If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890

What does it mean to glorify God through art?For many artists, the desire to glorify God can become an expectation that their work should communicate an explicitly religious message. But what happens when that expectation begins to constrict the artist? What if our attempts to make art that clearly communicates faith actually prevent the art from becoming genuinely transformative?In this solo meditation, Stephen Roach explores the relationship between Christian faith, artistic freedom, and the glory of God. Drawing on the work of Hans Rookmaaker and Flannery O'Connor, as well as the strange prophetic performances of Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Jeremiah, Stephen asks whether art needs to be explicitly religious in order to be spiritually meaningful.Stephen revisits the story of Paolo Veronese and his controversial painting of The Last Supper, which brought him before the Catholic Inquisition in 1573. The story raises an important question for artists and faith communities alike: what happens when our desire to protect familiar expressions of faith leaves no room for artistic imagination?Perhaps glorifying God through art doesn't always mean making art that is easily recognizable as Christian. Perhaps sometimes it means following our creative curiosity into places that are unfamiliar, challenging, ambiguous, or even strange.In a world where familiar religious imagery can become wallpaper, what might happen if we made room for art that surprises us again?In this episode:Rethinking what it means to "glorify God" through artWhy treating art as a "tool" for evangelism can strip it of its powerThe shocking performance art of Ezekiel, Isaiah, and JeremiahPaolo Veronese's controversial Last SupperHow religious conformity can restrict artistic creativityWhy faith communities need to cultivate curiosity rather than judgmentThe danger of familiar truths becoming spiritually dullABOUT THE HOSTStephen Roach is the host of Makers and Mystics, a podcast exploring the intersection of creativity, faith, and the human experience. He is an artist, curator, poet, and musician. He is currently writing How to See Invisible Things, a book exploring the future of art and faith. Stephen has spent over a decade advocating for creativity as a spiritual discipline and calling.RESOURCES AND LINKSArt Needs No Justification by Hans Rookmaaker — the book referenced for its argument that art has intrinsic value apart from evangelistic use Five Creativity Killers and How to Avoid Them by Stephen Roach — Stephen's booklet where he first wrote about Paolo Veronese's trialDisclaimer: This episode is a case for unconventional art, but I want to be clear that it is not a disparagement of sacred art: work created specifically for devotional or liturgical environments and practices.

How deeply have ancient occult practices shaped the strange phenomena people are still encountering today? Tony Merkel sits down with Isaac Weishaupt and Joel Thomas for a conversation that challenges the way we understand the entities operating beyond our everyday reality. They examine the possibility that modern encounters may be connected to spiritual forces and practices that have followed humanity for centuries. As the conversation goes deeper, the familiar idea of extraterrestrials begins to give way to something far stranger and potentially more dangerous. This episode asks a disturbing question: are we witnessing something new, or simply seeing an ancient phenomenon wearing a modern face?If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890

Could the growing UFO disclosure movement be infiltrating the Church with a spiritual deception hiding in plain sight? Tony Merkel sits down with Paul Bach for a powerful discussion about the growing UFO phenomenon and the belief system forming around non-human intelligence. Paul opens up about the controversial pastors meeting and explains the warning he believes the Church urgently needs to hear. The conversation examines whether modern encounters with NHI could connect to ancient spiritual realities and a much larger deception unfolding around disclosure. As interest in contact and UAPs continues to grow, Paul challenges Christians to test these claims against Scripture rather than simply accept the answers being offered. This episode will challenge how you see UFO disclosure and leave you asking one crucial question: what are we really making contact with?If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890

Brendan Housler explains that FTP isn't one system but reflects aerobic base, VO2 max “ceiling,” lactate handling, durability, and time to exhaustion, so raising threshold requires targeting your specific limiter instead of doing random FTP workouts. He prioritizes first building an endurance foundation (2–3 hour rides feeling fresh), then using VO2 max and over-unders, followed by supra-threshold work (just above FTP), and lastly steady-state TTE workouts (e.g., 3x20, 2x30, 1x45). He suggests using 5-minute power as a rough VO2 proxy and comparing FTP/5-min power (fractional utilization) to decide whether to focus on VO2 work or threshold, while noting anaerobic riders can skew 5-minute results. He emphasizes fueling key sessions, adjusting focus around race season, and maintaining year-round purpose by stacking training across seasons and years.Chapters:00:00 Stop Surviving Intervals00:47 FTP Is Multiple Systems02:59 Four Buckets Framework03:25 Base Before Intensity05:05 Find Your Limiter05:42 Ceiling Test With 5-Minute07:14 VO2 Max Workout Menu08:21 Supra Threshold Bridge09:41 Over Unders For Surges10:32 Build Time To Exhaustion11:54 Recap And Next Steps12:52 Sample Week And Caveats13:56 Fueling And Coaching Plugs15:14 Offseason Purpose And Wrap

The UFO conversation is changing, but are we asking the right questions about what these beings actually are? Tony sits down with Derrick Warfel, author of UFOs and God, for a fascinating conversation about non-human intelligence and the spiritual reality that may be hiding behind the phenomenon. Derrick challenges the popular idea that these beings are simply advanced visitors from another world and makes the case that what we are witnessing may be interdimensional and deeply connected to the supernatural realm described throughout Scripture. They explore alleged abductions and the striking similarities between modern alien encounters and supernatural experiences reported throughout human history. Tony also shares a chilling story from his own investigations that raises difficult questions about possession, altered experiences, and what may be happening beyond what we can physically see. As UFO disclosure moves further into the mainstream, this conversation asks whether humanity is prepared for the possibility that the phenomenon is far more spiritual than extraterrestrial.If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890

Could the strange phenomena capturing the world's attention be hiding a much deeper spiritual reality? Tony Merkel sits down with Jae Woodward of WoodwardTV for a fascinating conversation that challenges the conventional explanations surrounding the unexplained. Jae explains why he believes the coming “age of disclosure” could actually become an age of deception, and why some encounters may not be what they appear to be. As the conversation unfolds, Jae connects modern reports with ancient spiritual ideas and explores why deception and perception could be central to understanding the phenomenon.

Every great artist from Caravaggio to Frida Kahlo has fought the same invisible war, and Stephen Roach makes the case that it is not a coincidence.In this solo reflection, Stephen traces a decade-long question that has haunted him: why does creative expression seem to attract so much internal and external opposition? Drawing on scripture, church history, and the lives of artists who battled addiction, trauma, and mental illness, he builds a case for why creativity and faith are so deeply intertwined, and why that connection makes artists a centerpiece in a spiritual battle. He highlights an uncanny parallel between the King of Tyre in Ezekiel 28 and the artisans in Exodus, then lands in the present moment, asking what it means to keep making human art in an age of artificial intelligence. Listeners will walk away with a framework for understanding creative resistance and a renewed sense of why their work matters.KEY TOPICS COVERED• Why creativity is rooted in the image of God• The historical pattern of struggle among great artists, from addiction to mental illness• The church's complicated relationship with the arts• What the rise of AI means for the future of human creativity• Why art may be the last human frontier in an automated worldABOUT THE HOSTStephen Roach is the host of Makers and Mystics, a podcast exploring the intersection of creativity, faith, and the human experience.

Some wounds can't be seen, but they can shape an entire lifetime. Tony Merkel welcomes Kelly Hawley, who has spent decades helping survivors of extreme trauma find healing through Jesus Christ and Warrior Bride Ministries. Kelly shares why she believes many people have lived their entire lives trapped by fear and hidden emotional wounds that few truly understand. She explains how trauma can profoundly affect the human mind and why genuine restoration begins with Christ rather than simply coping with the past. This conversation explores the hope that exists even in the darkest circumstances and reveals why no life is beyond God's ability to restore.If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890

What if the evidence for biblical giants is hiding in plain sight? In this episode, Travis Roy joins Tony Merkel to recount the terrifying night he witnessed a massive humanoid sprint across a dark Texas road, an encounter that launched years of investigating giant footprints and ancient mysteries. As his search deepened, Travis uncovered fossilized human tracks that he believes challenge conventional history and raise profound questions about the Nephilim, ancient America, and the biblical record. Rather than relying on speculation, he shares the discoveries that convinced him something extraordinary once walked this land, and why those findings continue to shape his understanding of Scripture and the supernatural today. If you've ever wondered whether giants were real, this conversation offers a compelling look at the evidence and why it matters.If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890

Evelyn Underhill: The Mother of Modern MysticsArtist Profile Series 40Who was Evelyn Underhill, and why does her work continue to shape the modern contemplative movement more than a century later?In this Artist Profile episode of Makers & Mystics, Stephen Roach explores the life of Evelyn Underhill, writer, spiritual director, retreat leader, and one of the most influential voices on Christian mysticism in the twentieth century.Although she is often remembered for her landmark book Mysticism, Underhill's own spiritual journey was anything but straightforward. From youthful encounters with transcendent beauty to explorations of the occult, philosophy, and Roman Catholicism, her search eventually led her into the Anglican tradition, where she discovered that mystical experience finds its deepest fulfillment not in extraordinary visions but in the ordinary rhythms of worship, sacrament, and life with Christ.In an age captivated by spirituality yet often disconnected from historic faith, Evelyn Underhill's life reminds us that the deepest longing of the human heart is not simply for transcendent experiences, but for communion with the living God.In This Episode The surprising spiritual journey that shaped Evelyn Underhill's life How Mysticism became one of the defining books on Christian contemplation Why Underhill believed mystical experience should be part of ordinary Christian life Her friendship with Baron Friedrich von Hügel and its profound influence The relationship between artists, beauty, and the contemplative life Why her final book, Worship, marked the culmination of her life's work What her story offers Christians, artists, and seekers today Notable Quotes"The mystic is called to be a creative artist of the highest kind.""Beauty is simply Reality seen with the eyes of love.""Long before we begin searching for God, God has already begun searching for us."Books MentionedMysticism: A Study in the Nature and Development of Man's Spiritual Consciousness — Evelyn Underhill Practical Mysticism — Evelyn Underhill Worship — Evelyn Underhill Confessions — Augustine of Hippo Dark Night of the Soul — St. John of the Cross People Mentioned Baron Friedrich von Hügel T.
