Tony, crew & guest did an excellent job explaining that the enemy of our souls works 24/7 to destroy us with weapons.
“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.”
Isaiah 54:17 KJV

Tony is so naive and his guests too. Their understanding is hilarious and their satanic panic vibes are comical. They want to be authorities on paranormal but Tony is dupped by entertaining guys like Zack King who is a known fraudster milking Christian youth group naïveté. Plus the use of ai images on these shows is gross. Literally plugged in to the “beast”.

I so appreciate this show and the team and all the work that goes into it. This show has added so much value to my soul and helped me to seek The Lord deeper. Even indirectly inspired me to read the Bible cover to cover.

I’ve just found the podcast on YouTube and decided to “bring it with me”, while I’m driving. I really appreciate the work they put into getting good guests that aren’t just making the podcast circuit. I am finding my Catholic roots again so I really appreciate the Christian perspective on things.
If I could give any unsolicited advice, it would be for them to dig deeper, really lay it all on the line. Forget the likes and appeasing to broad audiences. Once you learn to really dig deeper, people... more
