  • Starbucks

    By me purchasing a cup of coffee and food from Starbucks doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m aligning myself with the water kingdom or worshipping evil. I just want caffeine in the morning because not only do I work long hours six days a week but I also reside in a state that has the highest cost of living. Just trying to survive and live comfortably is all.

  • Checked back in to see if anything changed. It has actually got worse. Tony seems to have Rogan aspirations, calling on Jack CONSTANTLY for the stupidest things. I'm Christian but Tony talks about religion like people who are vegetarian MUST mention it to anyone who'll listen. His arrogance is off the charts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

RELOADED | 540: Portals To Hell & Biblical Super Soldiers
Q: How do you approach healing in a way that respects both faith and the complexities of human experience?
Healing is God's will for His people, but outcomes vary; suffering can persist due to many factors, including God's broader plan and human responsibility, and believers are encouraged to continue in prayer, faith, and compassionate action without judgment.
RELOADED | 540: Portals To Hell & Biblical Super Soldiers
Q: What is your view on portals and access points—are these real, and can they be closed through spiritual means?
Portals and access points are real from a biblical perspective, linked to the thinning of the veil at certain locations; they can be closed through sanctification and prayer, though some situations may require more drastic measures, such as removing the physical site.
RELOADED | 540: Portals To Hell & Biblical Super Soldiers
Q: Can you share how your transformation began and what you experienced during the demonic encounter that led you to Christ?
The guest describes being in a Pentecostal service, experiencing a powerful, oppressive spiritual attack, hearing a demonic voice urging him to leave, followed by a decisive declaration to commit to Jesus, which brought immediate relief and a profound internal change that redirected his life toward ministry and evangelism.
RELOADED | 189: Epstein Didn't Kill Himself with Charlie Robinson
Q: So I found you through a YouTube video with Sean Atwood. So shout out to Sean Atwood.
