872: Aliens, Reiki, and the Demon That Wouldn’t Let Her Go (Members)

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.

870: The Trojan Horse of Disclosure (Members)

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.

868: The Nephilim Mind Virus Revisited (Members)

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.

866: Investigating The CIA’s Gateway Process Document (Members)

In this members episode, Tony, Derek, and Jack dig into a declassified CIA document centered on the Gateway Process, Hemi-Sync, and the Monroe Institute. What begins as a strange government study on consciousness quickly becomes a deeper conversation about out-of-body experiences, altered states, and the attempt to explain occult practices through scientific language. We break down how the document describes the mind, frequency, hypnosis, meditation, and the possibility of moving consciousness beyond the body. The discussion also explores how these ideas connect to astral projection, the search for hidden knowledge, and the dangers of opening doors that should remain closed. As the conversation unfolds, the Gateway Process begins to look less like harmless meditation and more like a spiritual experiment wrapped in government terminology. We examine whether this research points to a coming deception that reframes the supernatural as science. From the Monroe Institute to the CIA’s interest in consciousness, this episode raises serious questions about what was really being studied and why.

864: Missing Scientists and Hidden Programs (Members)

A disturbing pattern has emerged around a growing list of missing and dead scientists who reportedly held clearances or worked in sensitive fields. In this members episode, Tony, Derek, and Jack examine whether these cases are isolated tragedies or pieces of a much larger operation hidden behind government secrecy. The conversation moves through Huntsville, JPL, Los Alamos, Wright-Patterson, anti-gravity research, nuclear secrecy, UAP disclosure, and the possibility that some discoveries were never meant to reach the public. As the dots begin to connect, the question becomes less about coincidence and more about control. Were these scientists silenced because of what they knew, what they saw, or what they were helping build? This raw discussion pushes into the tension between classified technology, spiritual deception, and the need to stay anchored in Christ while staring into the darkness.

Ricky joins Tony in studio to share a lifetime of disturbing encounters that seem tied to his family’s occult past. He begins with a chilling childhood experience during a blackout in NYC, where something impossible appeared inside his apartment. Years later, his curiosity led him into the woods, where a ritual involving blood brought him face to face with a massive black dogman. As the stories unfold, Tony and Ricky explore whether these encounters were random events or part of a deeper spiritual pattern. This episode dives into dogman encounters, bloodline curses, portals, and the dark forces that may follow families for generations.

860: Disclosure, Fallen Angels & Portals | Darren Stott (Members)

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.

858: Hidden Nephilim Temples of Appalachia (Members)

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.

What if the world before the flood was not just history, but a warning? In this episode, Tony sits down with Will Blesch to discuss his book, In the Shadow of Goliath, and the biblical framework behind topics like the Nephilim, Genesis 6, UFOs, hybridization, the Watchers, and the mark of the beast. Will shares how his early fascination with the unexplained, his time exploring the occult and New Age beliefs, and his eventual commitment to Jesus shaped the ideas that led to the book. Together, they examine whether ancient biblical accounts may offer a clearer lens for understanding modern paranormal phenomena and whether the agenda described in Genesis 6 could still be unfolding today.

854: They're Buried Under The Pyramids (Members)

What if the pyramids were never built to honor the dead, but to keep something buried from ever getting out?

In this episode, Tony sits down with researcher and YouTuber, Jay Woodward of WoodwardTV, to dig into one of the most unsettling theories emerging alongside the current wave of UAP disclosure: that massive, ancient craft are buried all over the world and they can't be moved. Jay breaks down his theory of geometric shape power, explaining how the geometric design of structures like the pyramids may function not as tombs or monuments, but as containment fields, ancient prisons engineered to hold entities, craft, and energies too dangerous to destroy. From the tunnels beneath Egypt that have been flooded and filled with concrete, to a craft that was reportedly activated and had to be reburied, Tony and Jay connect the dots between buried ruins, Nephilim lore, the Sphinx, and what may be hiding in plain sight beneath some of the most studied structures on Earth.

852: He Died and Saw Heaven's Portals (Members)

He died for 15 minutes… and says he stood in heaven, spoke with an angel, and was sent back with a message he couldn’t ignore.

Tony sits down with Rich, a former Alaska public safety officer, whose story builds toward a near-death experience that changed everything. After his heart stopped during a medical procedure, Rich describes waking in a place of overwhelming light, standing on what looked like sapphire glass, surrounded by swirling, radiant particles and a towering angel who confirmed he was in heaven. He recounts being led toward God’s throne, witnessing portals opening in the sky with angels moving in and out, and encountering Jesus in a moment defined by power, clarity, and indescribable love. Though he didn’t want to return, he was sent back, only to wake on the table declaring that heaven is real. Along the way, his earlier experiences in Alaska, moving stars, unexplained disappearances, and encounters tied to strange entities in the wilderness, take on new meaning through a spiritual lens. This episode moves from mystery to revelation, pointing to a reality that may be far closer than we realize.

850: The Dark Las Vegas Underground (Members)

What if the fight against human trafficking isn’t just physical, but deeply spiritual, woven into culture, power, and unseen forces?

Tony sits down with Joseph Charafi, a Las Vegas filmmaker and founder of Stop the Traffic Foundation, to expose the harsh reality behind one of America’s largest trafficking hubs. What began as inspiration from Sound of Freedom quickly turned into a full-scale investigation into child exploitation, systemic corruption, and the hidden infrastructure enabling it in Vegas. Joey shares disturbing accounts of survivors of satanic ritual abuse, underground networks, and the psychological grip that pulls victims back into captivity even after rescue. The conversation also explores how culture, pornography, OnlyFans, and weakened family structures are feeding the problem at scale. Through it all, the discussion points to a deeper battle, one that requires discernment, courage, and a return to Christ if there’s any hope of pushing back the darkness.

What if the spiritual war isn’t coming… but already happening in a realm most people can’t see?

Tony sits down with Jade for a conversation that quickly moves beyond theory into firsthand encounters with what he calls “the other place”; a parallel realm where spiritual warfare is actively unfolding against people who have no idea they’re under attack. Jade describes witnessing dogman-like entities acting as enforcers, shadowy structures that function like strongholds, and hooded figures engaged in what appears to be organized, intentional darkness. What’s happening there, he claims, manifests here as depression, fear, division, and anxiety, revealing a hidden layer to everyday struggles. The discussion also explores the rise of occult practices, astral projection, and technology merging with spiritual access, suggesting the veil between realms may be thinning. At its core, this episode is a warning, and a call for believers to wake up, step into spiritual authority, and recognize that the battle is already underway.

846: Giant Skeletons Found in the Ozarks (Members)

In this episode, Tony sits down with Nicholas Daigle to explore a controversial theory that could reshape how we understand both Scripture and American history. What began as a study of Genesis 6 and the Nephilim quickly turns into a deep investigation into the Ozarks, where Nicholas uncovers newspaper reports, burial mounds, and strange archaeological patterns that suggest giants may have once lived in the region. He details the work of a 1930s pastor who unearthed unusual skeletons, mysterious cave burials, and artifacts that seemingly don’t belong in the Midwest. The conversation follows Nicholas’ journey as he connects ancient flood narratives, megalithic structures, and Native American mound sites into a single framework rooted in the biblical account. As the evidence builds, the question becomes harder to ignore, could the stories of giants in America be more than just legend?

844: Supernatural Survival in the Coming Beast System (Members)

Jamie Walden joins Tony for a direct and practical conversation about preparedness, survival, and the responsibility Christians have to think ahead. Drawing from his background as a Marine Corps infantry sergeant and years of ministry work, Jamie explains why preparation is not rooted in fear but in wisdom, stewardship, and protecting the people God has placed in your care. He walks through the mindset shift believers need if systems fail, emphasizing community, skill-building, and the importance of developing resilient families and churches. The discussion also explores how modern comfort has weakened many people’s ability to endure hardship. Jamie argues that preparation begins with spiritual readiness, but it must also include practical planning and discipline. The goal, he says, is not isolation or paranoia, but building communities capable of standing firm and helping others when difficult times arrive.

842: He Had to Escape the Monroe Institute (Members)

RJ joins Tony to share what happened after he downloaded the Monroe Institute’s Gateway tapes and started training himself into altered states tied to out-of-body experiences and remote viewing. He explains how the practices escalated from symbols and vibrations into verified hits, strange synchronicities, and a growing sense that something was pushing back when he invoked Jesus. RJ recounts traveling to a Monroe-associated course in Arizona, where the experiences intensified fast, with powerful “connections,” bizarre interruptions, and moments that made him believe reality itself was being manipulated. After fleeing in fear and spiraling through paranoia, hooded figures, and electronic malfunctions, RJ claims the aftermath followed him home through dreams, remote viewing sessions, and a tug-of-war over his faith. In the end, he frames the entire journey as a warning: the phenomenon is real, the abilities are real, and he now believes the source is demonic, not spiritual enlightenment.

840: The Kandahar Giant Secret (Members)

In this members episode, Tony sits down with Pastor Dave Bryan for a jaw-dropping conversation that moves from the Giants of Kandahar to the hidden search for Noah’s Ark, and finally to the modern-day red heifer prophecy. Dave Bryan shares firsthand testimony from a Navy intelligence source who claimed U.S. special forces engaged multiple armored giants in Afghanistan, along with the chilling aftermath and alleged CIA suppression. The conversation then shifts to a private viewing of video footage said to show the interior of Noah’s Ark on Mount Ararat, complete with ancient beams and preserved feeding troughs. Finally, Dave recounts his meeting with Robert Mawire and the astonishing story of how seven perfect red heifers were providentially supplied for the rebuilding of the Third Temple in Jerusalem. From underground giants to Temple prophecy, this episode explores the possibility that biblical events are not ancient history, but unfolding in real time.

838: The Prince of Persia Is Rising (Members)

Tony is joined by Ali Siadatan, a world-renowned UFO researcher, to recount his 1999 UFO encounter in Iran, which occurred days after he felt led to warn his father about Ezekiel’s prophecy of a future war between Iran and Israel. The sighting of a massive green, pulsating craft descending into the desert became a catalyst for his deeper study of Scripture and the Prince of Persia described in Daniel 10, which he believes connects to territorial spiritual powers over nations. The conversation then turns to present-day Iran, where Ali outlines the growing revolution against the Islamic theocracy and the brutal crackdown that followed. He explains how economic collapse, generational rejection of radical Islam, and the rise of the exiled crown prince have shifted the national atmosphere. With tensions escalating between Iran and Israel, Ali suggests the coming months could determine the nation’s future.

836: How Epstein Blackmailed Her Into Silence (Members)

Audra Lynn Fasano joins Tony to share her firsthand experience of being drawn into Jeffrey Epstein’s network, beginning with her time at the Playboy Mansion and escalating into blackmail, intelligence ties, and operating as a middleman between elites. She recounts how threats against her family forced her deeper into the web, and why she believes Epstein was only one cog in a much larger machine. The conversation moves beyond trafficking into increasingly dark territory, ritual abuse, bloodline targeting, CRISPR technology, transhumanism, and what Audra sees as a modern Babylonian control system still unfolding today. She connects ancient sites, Nephilim lore, and elite funding networks to current technological initiatives, arguing that the end goal reaches far beyond exploitation. Through it all, Audra emphasizes spiritual warfare, deliverance, and returning to Christ as the only true protection in an escalating battle. This is a sobering discussion about power, deception, and why discernment may be more critical now than ever.

834: The Veil Is Thinning (Members)

In this episode, Tony sits down with Steven M. Bell, author of The Thinning Veil, to explore why modern UAP and orb encounters may have far deeper spiritual roots than most people realize. Steven explains how historic events like Fatima and other well-documented miracles mirror today’s disclosure narrative, suggesting these phenomena are interdimensional rather than extraterrestrial. He shares personal experiences from childhood and adulthood that shaped his belief that the veil between realms is thinning. The conversation turns toward spiritual warfare, discernment, and the danger of engaging the phenomenon without understanding its source. He emphasizes that not every encounter is neutral and that curiosity without grounding can lead to deception. Ultimately, this episode reframes disclosure as a spiritual crossroads, one that either pulls people away or points them directly to Christ.
