    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.

    Bigfoot, Dogman, and the Strange Woods of East Tennessee | Slingshot Nation

    East Tennessee has a reputation for strange woods, hidden caves, Bigfoot sightings, Dogman encounters, and unexplained Appalachian legends, but today, we go even deeper. Tony and the Slingshot Nation crew sit down with Ricky to explore bizarre supernatural encounters in the forests of Maryville, Alcoa, Kodak, and the surrounding Tennessee mountains, including a Bigfoot-like creature crawling across a trail on its fingers and toes, possible Dogman activity near the Greenway, eerie cave systems beneath East Tennessee, occult bloodline connections, spiritual warfare, shadow figures, strange knocks on homes, and the chilling idea that something ancient may be moving through the woods after dark. From cryptid sightings to demonic encounters, today we ask one unsettling question: what is really crawling through East Tennessee?

    Members Preview | 868: The Nephilim Mind Virus Revisited

    In this episode, Tony experiments with a new watch-along format as he revisits Episode 508, “Nephilim Mind Virus,” featuring Dr. Laura Sanger. What began as a spontaneous look back becomes a reflection on one of the most pivotal conversations in the history of The Confessionals. Tony explains how that episode helped shift his perspective from viewing encounters as isolated stories to recognizing the deeper spiritual war behind them. He revisits topics like Nephilim bloodlines, demonic oppression, spiritual mapping, deliverance, cryptids, parasites, and the blurred line between the physical and supernatural. Along the way, Tony reflects on his own growth, past mistakes, church hurt, renewed conviction, and the responsibility to walk with discernment. This watch-along is part commentary, part confession, and part spiritual recalibration for anyone who has followed the evolution of the show.

    867: What the Dead Sea Scrolls Revealed About the Second Coming | John Bevere

    Could we actually be the final generation? In this episode, Tony and John Bevere dive deep into the biblical, historical, and prophetic markers that point to a critical timeline between 2026 and 2075. From the ancient calculations of the Essenes and the Dead Sea Scrolls to the modern state of the global church, we explore the urgent reality of the season we are living in.  John Bevere is a respected minister, bestselling author, and co-founder of Messenger International, whose decades of teaching have deeply shaped the global Christian community. With more than 40 years in ministry and over 25 books to his name, John brings a weighty, Scripture-centered perspective to one of the most avoided and misunderstood topics in the church today: the return of Jesus Christ. Together, Tony and John discuss John’s new book, "The King Is Coming", and why studying the second coming should not produce fear, laziness, or arguments, but urgency, holiness, and a deeper love for Jesus. John explains why believers must see Christ’s return not merely as an end-times event, but as the long-awaited wedding of the ages between the Bridegroom and His bride.
