    Members Preview | 874: They Used Astral Projection as a Weapon

    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.

    Disclosure Day: Alien Truth or Spiritual Deception? | Slingshot Nation

    Is Disclosure Day actually disclosure or spiritual delusion?We're breaking down the Disclosure Day film with LA Marzulli and Karin Wilkinson: alien disclosure, grey aliens, Roswell, government UFO hearings, abductions, cattle mutilations, Nephilim, fallen angels, and the seed-war narrative. Is Hollywood conditioning the world to accept a spiritual deception dressed up as alien contact? We connect it all to Genesis 3:15 and the biblical supernatural worldview.Live on Slingshot Nation; serious, funny, and a little unhinged as we expose the fake "trust me" alien narrative and point people back to Jesus.

    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.

    871: There's a Serpent War Hidden in the Bible | Nils Glenn

    What if the Bible is far more supernatural than most Christians have ever been taught? In this episode, Tony sits down with @NilsGlenn to explore the strange and often overlooked layers of Scripture: the Nephilim, the Watchers, Genesis 6, Psalm 91, demons, spiritual warfare, and the cosmic battle running from Eden to Revelation. But Nils’ interest in the supernatural side of the Bible is not just academic. He spent years chasing the dream of 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. Nils shares the story of his cardiac arrest, his second near-death scare, his love for the supernatural worldview 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, open our eyes to the reality behind the veil, and send us back with purpose.

    The Backrooms Are Real: What's Waiting in the Space Between Worlds | Slingshot Nation

    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.

    Members Preview | 870: The Trojan Horse of Disclosure

    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.

    869: A Ghost Hunter’s Escape From the Occult

    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. Your prayers make a difference!
