    What if your search for spiritual enlightenment opened the door to something far more terrifying than you ever imagined? Tony Merkel sits down with Charisse and her husband Marco as they share an extraordinary testimony of growing up in a family influenced by the occult before years of immersion in New Age beliefs led to a frightening battle with unseen spiritual forces. After exploring practices that promised healing and personal power, Charisse found herself facing disturbing supernatural encounters that pushed her to the brink. Marco reveals what it was like to witness the chaos firsthand as their home, marriage, and family came under relentless spiritual attack. Together, they discuss the generational influence of Freemasonry in Charisse's family, her decades immersed in Wicca, Reiki, and spirit guides, the reality of deliverance, and the life-changing encounter that brought her to Jesus Christ. This powerful testimony explores the realities of spiritual warfare while ultimately pointing to the hope, freedom, and restoration found in Christ.If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890📕 Pre-order Tony's Book: https://a.co/d/0bJS3SaVBecome a member for ad-free listening, extra shows, and exclusive access to our social media app: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinThe Confessionals Social Network App:Apple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrhGoogle Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZThe Counter Series Available NOW:The Counter (YouTube): WATCH HEREThe Counter (Full Episode): WATCH HERETony's Recommended Reads: slingshotlibrary.comIf you want to learn about Jesus and what it means to be saved: Click HereMerkel Media Apparel: merkmerch.comSPONSORSGHOSTBED: GhostBed.com/tonyQUINCE: quince.com/tonyIVERMECTIN: twc.health/tonyVENICE AI: https://venice.ai/theconfessionalsRUMBLE WALLET: https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/ConfessionalsCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: contact@theconfessionalspodcast.comMAILING ADDRESS:Merkel Media6726 Morganton RdP.O.

    877: Dogman, Crawlers & Translucent Creatures Stalk North Carolina Woods | Carolina Case Files
    Jul 7 2026
    What if one terrifying 911 call was only the beginning of a much larger mystery? Tony Merkel welcomes Rusty from Carolina Case Files to reveal the chilling investigation that thrust his team into the center of one of the internet's most unsettling paranormal stories. As their conversation unfolds, they uncover eerie witness accounts that point toward a hidden reality lurking in the forests of North Carolina, where credible eyewitnesses continue to report encounters that defy explanation. The discussion expands into Dogman sightings, translucent entities from military testimonies, and the biblical framework that may explain why these encounters are happening. Along the way, they wrestle with the dangers of chasing the supernatural and why discernment is essential for anyone seeking the truth. If these encounters are more than folklore, the greatest question may not be what these beings are, but what they reveal about the unseen spiritual battle unfolding around us.If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890📕 Pre-order Tony's Book: https://a.co/d/0bJS3SaVBecome a member for ad-free listening, extra shows, and exclusive access to our social media app: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinThe Confessionals Social Network App:Apple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrhGoogle Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZThe Counter Series Available NOW:The Counter (YouTube): WATCH HEREThe Counter (Full Episode): WATCH HERETony's Recommended Reads: slingshotlibrary.comIf you want to learn about Jesus and what it means to be saved: Click HereMerkel Media Apparel: merkmerch.comRusty Martin Sr.Website | YouTube SPONSORSGHOSTBED: GhostBed.com/tonyQUINCE: quince.com/tonyIVERMECTIN: twc.health/tonyVENICE AI: https://venice.ai/theconfessionalsRUMBLE WALLET: https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/ConfessionalsCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: contact@theconfessionalspodcast.comMAILING ADDRESS:Merkel Media6726 Morganton RdP.O.

    Extreme Heat. Massive Earthquakes. Is the Sun the Missing Link? | Slingshot Nation
    Jul 3 2026
    The world feels like it is shaking, literally and figuratively.Across the United States and Europe, brutal heat waves are pushing temperatures into dangerous territory, straining power grids, overwhelming cities, and raising serious questions about what is happening to our planet. At the same time, Venezuela has been rocked by powerful earthquakes, with strange reports of lights in the sky leaving people wondering if these events are simply natural disasters — or signs of something deeper.On this episode of Slingshot Nation, we’re looking at the chaos from every angle.Is the sun the common denominator? Are solar storms, radiation, and changes in our atmosphere playing a bigger role than we’re being told? Or is there another possibility, that manmade technology, weather manipulation, geoengineering, or hidden systems are helping drive the instability we’re seeing around the world?From record heat to earthquake lights, from official explanations to the theories people are afraid to say out loud, we’re asking the question everyone is thinking:Is this nature, is this the sun, or is something else turning up the pressure?▶️ Jae Woodward's video breakdown Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

    Jun 29 2026
    In episode 653: Super Soldier's Teleportation, James Szubski, from episode 591: The Secret Guardian of Hanford, shares spine-tingling tales of paranormal encounters in the region. Inheriting Margie's Outdoor Store, James has collected over 300 reports of strange phenomena, including sightings of Sasquatch, UFOs, and a mysterious black panther creature. Notably, there are accounts of an 11-foot-tall Sasquatch-like being. However, that is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to James's story. With a military background that endowed him with extraordinary physical and cognitive abilities, he navigates the rugged terrain with ease, almost as if her were a real life Captain America. His adventures include a personal experience of spatial displacement in Brokeleg Burrows, an area notorious for strange occurrences and disappearances, like that of Chris Zitzowitz. He also mentions sightings of cloaked triangular craft and whispers of covert military operations. James's relentless curiosity and willingness to explore the unknown create a sense of wonder and adventure, inviting others to join him in unraveling the mysteries of the Columbia River Gorge.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.
