The Confessionals

What happens when a billionaire financier walks away from the boardroom and steps straight into the darkest rooms on earth? Paul Hutchinson, primary investor and executive producer of Sound of Freedom, recounts going undercover through 70+ missions, exposing trafficking pipelines, corrupt officials, and the blackmail machinery that preys on children. Tony and Paul push into the spiritual war beneath the headlines, from Haiti’s voodoo strongholds to border influxes and the porn economy that feeds demand; asking why those with power keep burying the truth. Brace for a hard look in the mirror: rescuing the innocent begins with confronting the darkness buried deep within humanity itself. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

What if the people following you weren’t just people at all? Andrea recounts a year of escalating gang-stalking so intense she feared leaving her home, cars trying to run her off the road, strangers attempting to open her door, and a man who posed as a fellow “targeted individual” only to vanish in the woods and then astral project into her bedroom a week later with demons laughing all around. This wasn’t paranoia; she describes magic tricks, coded hand signals, and an attack so violent she became physically ill for days. Against this backdrop of spiritual warfare and deception, childhood visitations, a wizard-like figure pulling her into another realm, psychedelic glimpses of the fairy world; Andrea reaches a breaking point and cries out to Jesus, triggering the most life-altering experience of her story.

In Episode 635: Summoning The Demon, we are joined by Alan and Evan DiDio, discussing their experiences at the Armed Conference 2023 and the impact of the information that was shared there. Tony then introduces Alan DiDio's new book, "Summoning the Demon: AI, Aliens, and the Antichrist," exploring the convergence of artificial intelligence, transhumanism, biblical prophecies, and the potential modern-day resurgence of Nephilim. Alan emphasizes the church's need to engage with these topics, considering the biblical narrative's relevance to contemporary discussions about AI and alien phenomena.
