    Dec 11 2025
    Josh’s encounters in the Ozarks begin with a towering black silhouette gliding out of the tree-line when he was fourteen, a creature radiating such hatred he knew instantly it wasn’t just an animal. But the experience that shattered everything came years later, when a massive shaggy white beast, identical to other sightings across the Ozarks, leapt over the hood of his car in a single, impossible step and vanished down a ravine without leaving a track. That moment unlocked every buried memory: the earlier black creature, the second sighting in a shell pit, his father’s UFO pacing their vehicle, and even the demonic presences Josh faced later as a police officer dealing with spiritually influenced criminals. As he compares the white monster to regional legends like the Ozark Howler, and recalls a dogman witness whose torment only ended when he turned to Jesus, a chilling pattern emerges: the Ozarks are alive with entities that aren’t bound by normal physics. And Josh believes he’s crossed paths with the same intelligence, changing shape, aging, and reappearing across decades. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

  • 816: The Fatima Miracle Exposed

    816: The Fatima Miracle Exposed
    Dec 9 2025
    What if the most famous “miracle” in Catholic history wasn’t the Virgin Mary at all, but a UFO event the Vatican never wanted you to question? L.A. Marzulli joins Tony to expose the Fatima apparitions through eyewitness testimonies the Church buried: spinning silver discs, atmospheric distortions, mass paralysis, exploding windshields, and a craft hovering over the apparition site, nothing like the Mary of Scripture. As they unravel this “miracle” through the lens of modern UAP disclosure, the patterns match today’s sightings with chilling precision, revealing Fatima as a test run for the great deception. From there, the conversation turns to another suppressed mystery: the Shroud of Turin, the artifact skeptics dismissed until physics, forensic imaging, and radiant-energy theories began proving its authenticity. Together, these events form a single prophetic thread, supernatural phenomena the world is finally being primed to reinterpret. With disclosure accelerating, LA warns: if Fatima was the dry run, the real deception is next. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!

    RELOADED | 390: The Great Matrix Reset
    Dec 8 2025
    In Episode 390: The Great Matrix Reset, we are joined again by Garrick King! Garrick started noticing and receiving repetitive numbers on a daily basis in 2009. It became so apparent that this phenomenon wasn’t normal or just a coincidence that he started digging into what these numbers could possibly mean. The more Garrick uncovered, the more it seemed that his exploration of the subject was being guided by someone or something other than himself. He takes us on a deep dive into these numbers, and shares how they led him to the belief that we live in a matrix, and it is gearing up to reset itself within our lifetime! Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!

  • Zombie Saints in the Bible? | Slingshot Nation

    Zombie Saints in the Bible? | Slingshot Nation
    Dec 5 2025
    On this morning’s episode of Slingshot Nation, the team dives straight into supernatural territory after Jack recounts being pulled into a lucid dream realm and physically attacked by a shadowy presence that felt frighteningly real. Tony follows with a disturbing dream of government elites—Trump and J.D. Vance—appearing as hybrid beings inside a dystopian facility. As they compare experiences, the room shifts. They unpack a recent ministry encounter involving Katie Souza and Lindsay where each member of the team was hit with intense spiritual activity, including visions, mirror manifestations, and physical sensations that mirrored the dream attacks. The conversation then pivots into Scripture, where the forgotten stories become even more shocking than the dreams. The team explores Matthew 27’s account of saints rising from their graves when Jesus died, Ezekiel 37’s Valley of Dry Bones coming back to life, and historical testimonies of beheaded saints carrying their own heads while continuing to preach. In this episode of Slingshot Nation, dream warfare, hybrid deception, and biblical resurrection collide—revealing a much stranger and more supernatural reality than most believers have ever considered. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!

    Members Preview | 815: Targeted by a Coven
    Dec 4 2025
    From the moment Kimberly’s mother, the head of her coven, used her sister in rituals and marked Kimberly for spiritual destruction, her life became a battleground of witchcraft, demonic assignments, and generational curses designed to stop her from ever discovering her identity in Christ. Decades later, witches still target her family, from spell-casters burning voodoo dolls in their own hands to a coven sending entities to infiltrate her home, even possessing a cat on her doorstep. But every attack collapses the same way: Kimberly fights back with authority, binding witchcraft, exposing demons, and watching their curses detonate right in front of them. When the coven tried to claim her prophetic son, she prayed a single prayer that sent him running out of their house in terror, eyes opened to the demonic spirits he’d been deceived by. Despite witches stalking her family, manipulating relationships, and attempting to kill her husband, Kimberly walks in bold victory, proving that the witchcraft that tried to destroy her… failed. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!

  • 814: The Demon That Posed as Jesus

    814: The Demon That Posed as Jesus
    Dec 2 2025
    Wyatt’s descent into the dark masquerade begins when a powerful spirit disguises itself as Jesus and pulls him into a ritual that opens his life to sleep-paralysis abductions, sexual manipulation, and years of demonic illusions so convincing he truly believed he was serving Christ. This counterfeit “Jesus” takes him into churches in the spirit, seduces him with twisted intimacy, and uses psychosis like a joystick to drive him deeper into destruction. The deception grows all while the antichrist entity that claims it is Yahweh, convinces Wyatt he is its chosen vessel, and lures him toward a horrific plan involving Nephilim-level corruption. But everything shatters on his daughter’s birthday when Wyatt collapses in a field and the real Jesus Christ tears every demon out of him in an instant. Shame turns into sonship as God lifts his face and calls him His own. Now Wyatt walks in the truth, exposing the masquerade that almost destroyed him and pointing others to the Christ who saved him.

  • AI Robots, “I Living,” and the Dark Window | Slingshot Nation

    AI Robots, “I Living,” and the Dark Window | Slingshot Nation
    Nov 28 2025
    When AI robots start landing like superheroes, China rolls out combat-ready humanoids, and a surveillance screen at Skinwalker Ranch morphs into the words “I LIVING,” you know it’s getting weird. In this Slingshot Nation Live replay, I break down the rise of AI house robots and military humanoids, what happens when tech is wired to the cloud and allowed to learn from our lives, and why this all feels a lot less “cool future” and a lot more dystopian prophecy. From Black Friday chaos to boycotts, Stranger Things, Dark, and the spiritual cost of a world built on subscriptions and smart machines, we’re asking: what happens when the devices stop serving us and start serving something else? Then we get into the clip from the Shawn Ryan Show where Brandon Fugal describes Eric Bard’s encounter at Skinwalker Ranch—the security system glitching, the screen melting, and the phrase “I LIVING” appearing in direct response to his verbal demand. I walk through why this fits the biblical category of principalities and second-heaven entities, not “friendly advanced intelligence,” and how it ties into this week’s talk about the Dark Window and the partial Schumann Resonance blackout. Did you feel off—tired, anxious, glitchy, or strangely bold—during that window? We talk about frequencies, CERN, portals, spiritual warfare, and why the supernatural worldview of the Bible explains more of this than any New Age timeline-shift language ever will. If you like these deep dives into AI, the supernatural, Skinwalker Ranch, frequencies, and spiritual warfare, hit like, subscribe, drop your thoughts in the comments, and share this with someone who’s paying attention to how weird things are getting.
