  Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!

As a young boy, Mike had a shocking run-in with a man in a red devil costume; a sinister encounter that seemed harmless at first, until strange changes began taking over his life. From being drawn into dark dreams and blacking out while creating violent drawings, to speaking with mirror entities and losing toys to unseen forces, Mike’s story unfolds into a tapestry of spiritual oppression and eerie visitations. But the darkness didn’t stop there. Mike details haunting experiences with shadow figures, entities whispering by his bedside, cursed objects, and a bizarre connection to a haunted book that seemed to literally pull him inside its pages. As Tony and Mike dig deeper, the pieces start to fit together; encounters with Lilith, strange ties to Freemasonry, and a chilling family connection to Disney World’s darker secrets all paint a picture of spiritual warfare that began in childhood and escalated into adulthood. It's an episode packed with hauntings, hidden forces, and spiritual battles, and it all started with a simple grab of the wrist.

• Members Preview | 751: Soul Under Siege

  In episode 751: Soul Under Siege, Tony is joined by Will, an Air Force veteran whose journey from homeschooled innocence to spiritual warfare in Guam is nothing short of chilling. What begins as a standard deployment turns into a battle with unseen forces—entities that invade dreams, drain energy, and whisper lies in the dead of night. From haunted dorm rooms to poltergeist-infested barracks, Will recounts moments where anxiety turned to terror, and normality gave way to the paranormal. But it gets darker. Will details a horrifying night where something—possibly demonic, possibly technological—attempted to rip his very soul from his body, as if yanking him through a swirling black vortex. Add in a suspiciously haunted mountain hike, a shamanic “good luck” warning, military near-misses with North Korea, and a full-blown spiritual confrontation with a thousand whispering voices—and you’ve got an episode that rips back the veil and stares straight into the abyss. When entities try to override your body and invade your mind, there’s only one name that drives them out. Because when the spiritual battlefield is your own body—Jesus is your only defense Become a member for ad-free listening, extra shows, and exclusive access to our social media app: theconfessionalspodcast.com/join The Confessionals Social Network App: Apple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrh Google Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZ My New YouTube Channel Merkel IRL: @merkelIRL My First Sermon: Unseen Battles Sasquatch and The Missing Man: merkelfilms.com Merkel Media Apparel: merkmerch.com SPONSORS SIMPLISAFE TODAY: simplisafe.com/confessionals CONNECT WITH US Website: www.theconfessionalspodcast.com Email: [email protected] MAILING ADDRESS: Merkel Media 257 N.

• 750: Killing Nephilim For Jesus

  In episode 750: Killing Nephilim For Jesus, Tony is joined in-studio by Derek and Jack for a freewheeling conversation that crashes through end-times prophecy, remote viewing, ancient relics, and spiritual warfare. From the death of the pope and the mysterious prophecy of St. Malachy to CIA documents on the Ark of the Covenant, they connect the dots between esoteric threads and biblical foundations—asking what it all means for the times we're living in. But it doesn’t stop there. They dive into a full-on battle plan for fighting Nephilim in the apocalypse—complete with Marvel-style powers, biblical superhuman feats, and an AI-generated naming ceremony for their end-times alter-egos. It’s unfiltered, unscripted, and undeniably supernatural. Because when the veil starts to thin, you’d better be armed—with truth, with faith, and maybe even a Nephilim Blaster 2000.

• RELOADED | 426: Police Officer's Paranormal Life

  In Episode 426: Police Officer's Paranormal Life, we are joined by Dave. Dave doesn't listen to The Confessionals and didn't know he was scheduled for an interview until a few weeks beforehand when his wife Brandy sprung it on him! Even though he wasn't prepared to tell his experiences, Dave didn't disappoint. He begins his story by revealing that his ancestor, Bridget Bishop, was the first person executed for witchcraft during the Salem witch trials in 1692. Considering that this family history could be a reason for the paranormal experiences in his life, Dave goes on to tell us about Hatman, his experiences on duty as a police officer, and even his strange relationship with electronics, in which he seems to drain them of all their energy.
