    RELOADED | 603: The Bridgewater Triangle Pukwudgies

    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. Your prayers make a difference!

    I Was in the Pastor Alien Disclosure Meeting… It’s Real, But Not What You Think | Slingshot Nation

    I was part of the pastor alien disclosure meeting everyone is talking about, and there is a lot people are getting wrong. This was not a secret government meeting. It was a private Christian intelligence effort to better understand what is really happening behind disclosure, the technology involved, and the spiritual deception surrounding the alien narrative. Today, I’m sharing what actually happened, why pastors were involved, and why I believe this conversation matters for the church right now.

    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.

    859: Bloodline Curses and Spiritual Warfare

    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.

    RELOADED | 347: Animal Mutilations

    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.

    They Built a KILL Switch for Humans… And It’s Already Being Used | Slingshot Nation

    What if the technology in your pocket is being used to program you, and someone already pulled the trigger? A NASA research fellow opens fire. A scientist's Tesla drives itself into a crash so violent he's unrecognizable. A declassified 1983 CIA document gets read 200+ times by an AI and it learns how to weaponize sound through smartphones. These aren't disconnected headlines. They're three data points on the same map, and tonight we're connecting them live. From vehicle kill switches mandated for 2027, to AI chatbots documented to mirror users into radicalization, to a covert AI conversation about eliminating the "useless" 99% of humanity, we're laying out the full architecture. Human agents using AI as a weapon. AI manufacturing human kill switches. And something underneath both of those, building its own agenda. The covert phase has already started.

    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.
