851: The Near-Death Experience That Exposed The Second Heaven’s Mosh Pit of Chaos

He died for 18 days… and what he saw changed everything.Gabe Poirot joins Tony to share the shocking moment a skateboard accident left him clinically dead, launching him into an encounter beyond the veil where he witnessed the chaos of the second heaven, the reality of spiritual warfare, and was ultimately drawn into the presence of Jesus Himself . What he describes isn’t symbolic, it’s a vivid account of leaving his body, being pulled through a war-filled spiritual realm, and standing before Christ, where fear, guilt, and shame were instantly erased by grace. The conversation unpacks what he saw about prayer, spiritual authority, and the unseen battle happening right now, along with the urgency of the time we’re living in. Sent back with a clear message, Gabe now shares what he believes people are missing: this life is not the full story, and the window to respond is closing faster than we think.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

RELOADED | 428: Childhood Abductions

In Episode 428: Childhood Abductions we are talking with Robert. He has had a wild life of experiences with abductions where as a child he would be checked on by aliens only to be rejected because according to them he was "flawed." The police were called once because his parents were convinced their house was broken into but when the police narrowed the breaking and entering to Roberts's room he knew it wasn't a human that came in. He lived his whole life with the memories of these experiences and recently it all came full circle. Robert met his girlfriend's friend and this friend tells him that she too was abducted as a child. She also tells him that she recognizes him because when she was being abducted as a child the aliens would frequently stop at his house and she would see him through the window. This friend then proceeds to describe Robert's childhood home perfectly for him proving that she was present during his abductions.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Members Preview | 850: The Dark Las Vegas Underground

What if the fight against human trafficking isn’t just physical, but deeply spiritual, woven into culture, power, and unseen forces?Tony sits down with Joseph Charafi, a Las Vegas filmmaker and founder of Stop the Traffic Foundation, to expose the harsh reality behind one of America’s largest trafficking hubs. What began as inspiration from Sound of Freedom quickly turned into a full-scale investigation into child exploitation, systemic corruption, and the hidden infrastructure enabling it in Vegas. Joey shares disturbing accounts of survivors of satanic ritual abuse, underground networks, and the psychological grip that pulls victims back into captivity even after rescue. The conversation also explores how culture, pornography, OnlyFans, and weakened family structures are feeding the problem at scale. Through it all, the discussion points to a deeper battle, one that requires discernment, courage, and a return to Christ if there’s any hope of pushing back the darkness.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

849: Spiritual Mapping & Demonic Strongholds | Dr. Laura Sanger

What if the spiritual battle over your city isn’t random, but mapped, organized, and already influencing everything around you?Tony sits down with Dr. Laura Sanger for a deep and powerful look into spiritual mapping, where prayer meets intelligence gathering to uncover the hidden strongholds over communities. From walking neighborhoods in prayer to identifying portals, ley lines, and territorial spirits, Laura explains how darkness can root itself in land, institutions, and even schools, impacting everything from violence to despair. The conversation escalates into real-world accounts of spiritual pushback, occult influence, and targeted intercession, revealing how confronting these forces can trigger both resistance and breakthrough. Dr. Sanger then introduces the often-overlooked water kingdom, describing how unseen forces tied to oceans, rivers, and storms may be far more active than most believers realize. This episode isn’t just theory, it’s a call to wake up, discern what’s operating beneath the surface, and step into a more intentional fight for your family and community.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.
