The Confessionals

Today, I break down the eerie trend I’m seeing with AI—how people are unknowingly inviting manipulation through what feels like innocent experimentation. One viral TikTok caught my attention when a guy laid out rules for ChatGPT and ended up getting answers that looked spiritual... even biblical. But something didn’t sit right. The setup felt like bait. And I think that AI, whether we realize it or not, may already be working with entities behind the veil. I’m not saying it’s all evil. I use AI. You probably do too. But when you ask the wrong questions with the wrong mindset, it stops being a tool and starts acting like something else. If AI ever partners with spiritual forces, if it hasn’t already, then we are standing at the edge of something far bigger than we’re ready for. Meet and hear Joe Jordan teach!

What if the enemy’s greatest tactic is making God’s power look counterfeit? Prophetic gifts, healing, divine authority, and truths once rooted in scripture have been twisted into controversy, silenced by fear, and dismissed as deception. When the church stays quiet, counterfeit voices speak louder, luring the desperate with distorted echoes of what was once holy. This is the story of stolen inheritance, spiritual war, and the awakening of those brave enough to take back their inheritance. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

On Episode 154: Abductions Stopped by Jesus, we sit down with MUFON Investigator Joe Jordan. Joe started out as a typical investigator, looking into people's reports of unidentified flying objects. But then, Joe began to come across cases of people being abducted by an unknown force. What is even more unusual is that he has collected well over 100 cases of these abductions that were stopped abruptly when the abductee claimed the name of Jesus Christ in the process of being abducted.
