    893: The Dark Mystery Of Land Between The Lakes | Martin Groves

    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.

    Members Preview | 892: The Entities Behind the Veil

    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?

    891: The Man Behind the Pastor's Meeting & Dark Side of UFO Disclosure | Paul Bock

    Could the growing UFO disclosure movement be infiltrating the Church with a spiritual deception hiding in plain sight? Tony Merkel sits down with Paul Bock 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?

    Supernatural Warfare & the Attack That Came At The Conference | Slingshot Nation

    A violent storm. A hotel-wide emergency broadcast. Contaminated water. A gate ripped from its entrance. And unexplained static erupting through the sound system just as Tony prepared to preach about supernatural warfare.Coincidence? Or was something pushing back? In this episode of Slingshot Nation, Tony, Derek and Jack unpack the bizarre string of events surrounding Remnant Rising and the moment Tony believes spiritual authority was handed off to him. From suspected spiritual opposition and strange technical interference to past moments when unexplained voices, knocks, and disruptions appeared during The Confessionals, the question becomes impossible to ignore: can supernatural warfare manifest in the physical world? They also dig into the biblical framework behind the conversation, including elemental spirits and the storms of Mark 4 and 5. Was the chaos surrounding Remnant Rising simply a brutal storm and a series of technical failures, or was something trying to stop the message before it could be delivered?
