909: 3 Strangers Describe the SAME Supernatural Realm
What if the supernatural encounters happening around us are glimpses of a war raging just beyond our reality? Tony Merkel brings Hunter, Jade, and Caleb together to explore the Second Heaven, a hidden realm they believe exists alongside our physical world. Although these three men have never met, their experiences reveal chilling similarities about the dark forces operating beyond the veil. Their accounts suggest a spiritual battlefield where entities serve a hidden hierarchy and the boundary between worlds may be weakening. Could the strange phenomena we're witnessing be signs of a much greater war beginning to spill into our reality?If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890📕 Order Tony's Book: https://a.co/d/0bJS3SaV🎥 Tony Merkel YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@tony.merkel🌐 Visit: tonymerkel.com📰 Subscribe to Our Newsletter: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/newsletterBecome 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 CounterS2 EP1 (Witchcraft): 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/tonyRUMBLE WALLET: https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/ConfessionalsCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: contact@theconfessionalspodcast.comMAILING ADDRESS:Merkel Media6726 Morganton RdP.O.

RELOADED | 831: Spiritual Warfare Backfires Without Authority
In this episode, Tony sits down with Dr. Laura Sanger and Vicki Joy Anderson for a grounded and challenging conversation on spiritual warfare, authority, and preparation. They break down where a believer’s authority actually comes from, why Scripture never treats spiritual warfare as optional, and how misunderstanding time, identity, and lineage can leave people exposed. The discussion addresses generational iniquity, deliverance versus exorcism, and the danger of engaging spiritual conflict without proper preparation. Drawing from biblical examples, personal testimony, and practical theology, the conversation reframes warfare as participation in Christ’s already-won victory. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re prepared for the fight, or where authority in Christ begins, this episode will challenge you to engage in the fight.If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890📕 Order Tony's Book: https://a.co/d/0bJS3SaV🎥 Tony Merkel YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@tony.merkel🌐 Visit: tonymerkel.com📰 Subscribe to Our Newsletter: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/newsletterBecome 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 CounterS2 EP1 (Witchcraft): 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/tonyRUMBLE WALLET: https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/ConfessionalsCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: contact@theconfessionalspodcast.comMAILING ADDRESS:Merkel Media6726 Morganton RdP.O.

Members Preview | 908: She Reveals The Hidden Spiritual Realm Where Demons Recruit and Train Children
How do you escape a nightmare that keeps bringing you back to the same world? In this episode, Tony welcomes Amelie, whose recurring childhood dreams led her through a locked gate into a sprawling realm she eventually mapped from memory. Two seemingly friendly snake guides promised to teach her its secrets, but curiosity soon gave way to terrifying assignments. Night after night, she returned to familiar paths—and places where she knew something would be waiting.As Amelie walks Tony through her map, she describes a hidden landscape that felt less like a dream and more like a second life. Tony recognizes unsettling parallels with stories he has heard before, while she explains how her Christian faith changed her understanding of the beings she once trusted. But the deeper they follow those connections, the more troubling the question becomes: what were her guides preparing her for?If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890📕 Order Tony's Book: https://a.co/d/0bJS3SaV🎥 Tony Merkel YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@tony.merkel🌐 Visit: tonymerkel.com📰 Subscribe to Our Newsletter: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/newsletterBecome 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 CounterS2 EP1 (Witchcraft): 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/tonyRUMBLE WALLET: https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/ConfessionalsCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: contact@theconfessionalspodcast.comMAILING ADDRESS:Merkel Media6726 Morganton RdP.O.

907: The Hidden Hierarchy of Darkness That Most Christians Never Learn About
What if the most terrifying forces in this world operate through a kingdom we've barely begun to understand? Tony Merkel sits down with Alexander Pagani and Pastor Fred Price Jr. to uncover what they believe is a hidden hierarchy within the kingdom of darkness. Their startling interpretation of Jesus' confrontation with Legion raises unsettling questions about what was really happening that day. As firsthand accounts of deliverance reveal a disturbing side of the supernatural, the possibility of spiritual forces holding authority over entire regions becomes impossible to ignore. This powerful discussion challenges everything we think we know about spiritual warfare while revealing why the authority of Jesus Christ is greater than the darkness.If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890📕 Order Tony's Book: https://a.co/d/0bJS3SaV🎥 Tony Merkel YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@tony.merkel🌐 Visit: tonymerkel.com📰 Subscribe to Our Newsletter: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/newsletterBecome 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 CounterS2 EP1 (Witchcraft): 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.comAlexander Pagan:Website | YouTube | BookFred Price Jr.:Instagram | YouTube | BookSPONSORSGHOSTBED: GhostBed.com/tonyQUINCE: quince.com/tonyRUMBLE WALLET: https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/ConfessionalsCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: contact@theconfessionalspodcast.comMAILING ADDRESS:Merkel Media6726 Morganton RdP.O.

RELOADED | 472: Peru's Megalithic Cave of Mystery
In Episode: 472: Peru's Megalithic Cave of Mystery, we bring on Derek Olson, the owner of Megalithic Marvels. Derek joins The Confessionals to talk about two of his biggest passions in life - searching for evidence for lost ancient technology and evidence of ancient giants/hybrid beings. He also shares some of his research on DNA and genetic anomalies of the Paracas skulls. But first, he starts us off with a journey he went on in Peru, where he was led into a largely unknown megalithic cave that the locals believe has mystical powers. When a shaman came into this cave to perform a ritual, things got weird. With people gathered around during the ritual, one man let out a blood-curdling scream as he was targeted by something from another realm inside the ancient cave.If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890📕 Order Tony's Book: https://a.co/d/0bJS3SaV🎥 Tony Merkel YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@tony.merkel🌐 Visit: tonymerkel.com📰 Subscribe to Our Newsletter: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/newsletterBecome 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 CounterS2 EP1 (Witchcraft): 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/tonyRUMBLE WALLET: https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/ConfessionalsCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: contact@theconfessionalspodcast.comMAILING ADDRESS:Merkel Media6726 Morganton RdP.O.
