815: Targeted by a Coven (Members)

From the moment Kimberly’s mother, the head of her coven, used her sister in rituals and marked Kimberly for spiritual destruction, her life became a battleground of witchcraft, demonic assignments, and generational curses designed to stop her from ever discovering her identity in Christ. Decades later, witches still target her family, from spell-casters burning voodoo dolls in their own hands to a coven sending entities to infiltrate her home, even possessing a cat on her doorstep. But every attack collapses the same way: Kimberly fights back with authority, binding witchcraft, exposing demons, and watching their curses detonate right in front of them. When the coven tried to claim her prophetic son, she prayed a single prayer that sent him running out of their house in terror, eyes opened to the demonic spirits he’d been deceived by. Despite witches stalking her family, manipulating relationships, and attempting to kill her husband, Kimberly walks in bold victory, proving that the witchcraft that tried to destroy her… failed.

813: Attacked by a Predator Demon (Members)

What if the thing crushing your chest in the dark wasn’t a nightmare—but a demon wearing the face of The Predator? Chip’s story centers on the night a Predator-like demon sat on his chest, crushed the breath out of him, pulled his spirit out of his body, and tried to choke out the name of Jesus before he could speak it. That attack was just one piece of a larger onslaught tied to his wife’s deepening occult involvement; Baphomet standing at the foot of the bed, hooded figures circling the room, and a briefcase-carrying Hat Man stalking him up the driveway. He even faced a dragon-sized entity whose breath tried to peel back his spiritual armor until the name of Jesus shattered it into nothing. Every manifestation pushed him closer to the truth: he wasn’t dealing with imagination, but with spirits hijacking a broken woman’s rituals to destroy him. Yet every time he invoked Christ, the darkness fled. This is Chip’s warning, and his redemption story.

805: Dismantling the Dark System of Abuse (Members)

When deliverance stops being theory and starts manifesting in the room, the polite veneer of “therapy” shreds. In this conversation, Kelly Hawley opens the door to a world most churches refuse to touch; survivors of SRA, programmed dissociation, and the long, deliberate war on bloodlines. What begins as testimony turns into a field report from the frontlines: parts and personas formed by trauma, counterfeit “trees” built in the soul, and the odd, terrible calm of activations meant to weaponize the broken. Through it all, Kelly keeps returning to the same center; Jesus, Holy Spirit authority, and the slow work of healing that refuses to charge the wounded a dime. It’s dark. It’s real. It’s happening. And it demands a response.
