What began as a harmless game with friends escalated into terrifying encounters with a spirit named "Non"—a presence that etched its name into their notebooks, manipulated the physical world around them, and unleashed chaos with every session. Travis recounts nights filled with static-blasting speakers, chairs moving on their own, and birds and wind responding to rituals performed in eerie sync. But the scariest moment came when the board claimed it had possessed one of them—and demanded a cross before midnight to save his soul. This episode tracks Travis’s descent into spiritual oppression, addiction, and darkness—and the powerful moment of self-deliverance when he encountered the real authority of Christ. From face-to-face encounters with a grinning hat man to a whirlwind of invisible entities leaving his body, Travis shares a raw, redemptive journey that proves the supernatural is real—and so is the victory found in Jesus.

From shadow figures and whispered voices to a warlock in his family line, David shares how generational darkness targeted him from childhood. But it was a hotel room prayer at age 11 that shattered the grip of fear and introduced him to the overwhelming presence of Jesus. What followed was a journey through spiritual deserts, battles with striving, and the discovery that the Holy Spirit isn’t earned—He abides. Tony and David dive into the layers of deliverance, the deception of performance-based faith, and why Gen Z is being pulled between witchcraft and revival. This conversation cuts to the heart of spiritual warfare and reveals how true freedom comes not from formulas, but from surrender.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference! If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890 [https://gofund.me/b8f76890] Description: In episode 761: Recruited By A Demon Prince, Tony is joined by John, a former occultist whose story begins with childhood encounters that defy reason and ends in a radical deliverance only God could orchestrate. At age five, John was approached by a crowned, eight-foot-tall owl—later revealed to be Stolas, a high-ranking Prince of Hell. What followed was a descent into the darkest corners of spiritual warfare, including being taken to a throne room in hell, initiated through rituals, and taught ancient metaphysical practices by both demons and secret societies like the Rosicrucians. But this isn't just a story about darkness—it's about redemption. From casting spells into drugs and opening portals at festivals, to hearing the literal voice of God and building frequency-based technology meant to restrain the forces of hell, John shares how Christ shattered the chains of his past and put him on assignment to battle evil in a legalistic spirit realm. With shocking confessions, insider knowledge on spiritual contracts, and a prophetic call to prepare for the deception of the end times, this episode is not for the faint of heart—but it's exactly the wake-up call the Church needs.

If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890 [https://gofund.me/b8f76890] Description: In episode 760: They Lied to You About the Rapture, Tony is joined in studio by Pastor Alan DiDio, whose radical encounter with Jesus launched him into a lifelong mission to understand and teach the truths of Bible prophecy. What began with a powerful dream just days after his salvation, standing in a field as a storm brews and a clock strikes 11:59, became the catalyst for a 25-year journey into the most controversial and misunderstood event in eschatology: the Rapture. Together, Tony and Pastor Alan confront the confusion, mockery, and division surrounding the Rapture, both inside and outside the Church. They tackle biblical patterns of supernatural disappearances, the reality of glorified bodies, the parallels between Enoch and modern believers, and why the disappearance of millions will be more than a sci-fi headline, it will be a tipping point for human history. They also address the dangers of spiritual apathy, red-pilled pride, and the false security many Christians place in end-times theories rather than the Word itself.
