883: Demonic Hijacking of Spiritual Gifts & Prophetic Warnings About 2028
What if the voice you think is from God is actually leading you toward deception? Joseph Z joins Tony Merkel to reveal the supernatural encounter that launched his prophetic calling. From that life-changing experience, he explains how God began shaping his understanding of the prophetic, why counterfeit spiritual experiences are becoming more convincing, and how believers can develop the discernment needed to recognize truth in an increasingly deceptive world. Rather than living in fear, Joseph offers a biblical perspective on hearing God's voice, walking in your God-given calling, and remaining firmly rooted in Christ as spiritual battles intensify. Whether you're curious about the prophetic, searching for biblical answers, or simply want to grow closer to God, this conversation will challenge what you think you know about hearing His voice.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.comJoseph ZWebsite | YouTubeSPONSORSGHOSTBED: 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.

Members Preview | 882: Dogman's Interdimensional Portals Revisited
After the incredible response to the first watch-along, Tony returns to revisit Episode 510, "Dogman Interdimensional Portals," the conversation that sparked one of the biggest paradigm shifts in the history of The Confessionals. Looking back with years of hindsight, he reflects on how this interview helped change the way he viewed the paranormal, dreams, and the spiritual realities behind them. Originally featuring Hunter, the episode follows his terrifying account of encountering a dogman in a dream, waking with unexplained physical injuries, and later facing what appeared to be the same creature in the woods with his son. As Tony reacts to the episode, he shares new insights, behind-the-scenes thoughts, and how his perspective has evolved since it first aired. What once seemed like an extraordinary story now carries an even deeper significance through everything he has learned since.

881: Ancient Giants, The Book of Enoch and UFO Disclosure | L.A. Marzulli
What if the Bible has been explaining the UFO phenomenon all along? Tony Merkel welcomes L.A. Marzulli to discuss why he believes the Nephilim are central to understanding the growing fascination with UFOs and the supernatural. Drawing from decades of firsthand research, L.A. shares remarkable stories that have shaped his conclusions about hidden archaeological discoveries and their possible biblical significance. He also explains how Genesis 3:15 and the Book of Enoch influence his understanding of an ongoing spiritual battle that continues to unfold today. As governments increasingly acknowledge the UFO phenomenon, L.A. argues that Christians must be prepared to discern truth from deception. L.A.'s insights invite you to reconsider ancient mysteries through a biblical lens and examine why they may matter now more than ever.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.comLA MarzulliWebsite | YouTubeSPONSORSGHOSTBED: 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.

New UFO Files, Nazi Tech & the NHI Mystery | Slingshot Nation
Today we're breaking down the newest UFO document release and asking the questions almost nobody else is asking. We'll examine what these files actually say about non-human intelligence (NHI), why the government continues releasing information without providing any real context, and whether the public is being guided toward a predetermined conclusion rather than the truth. We'll also dive into the documents' references to German flying saucer projects, Project Paperclip, reverse-engineering claims, and the possibility that the UFO mystery has always been far more connected to hidden technology and interdimensional questions than extraterrestrials from outer space.Please consider donating to Ron Patton's GoFundMe.
