A few weeks ago I spent time on an episode intro urging my listeners to prepare themselves and their households for tough times ahead. Gas prices are sky-high, our governments are on the verge of WW3, and ESG social credit scores are being implemented through the banking system. All these things and more point to very hard times for the average global citizen. So, what can you do? Though nothing is 100% the certain answer or solution, taking action now to be more self-sustainable is going to put the odds in your favor to keep food on your table for you and your family. In Episode 423: Dare To Prepare (Members), we are joined by Chad Catron from North Country Off Grid and Carlton Moore from The Farmacy Seed Network to share helpful tips on how to get started on living a life of independence and relying on your own abilities to survive.

In Episode 421: Backyard Abduction, we are joined by Justin, who shares some captivating experiences.

In Episode 417: Spiritual Awakening Through the Paranormal, we are joined by Allie, whose many interactions with the paranormal have left her wondering what is really true. If the things she went through are real, then how can God be real? If God is real, how can God love her and allow her to endure her paranormal experiences? Allie started listening to The Confessionals with these questions in mind. But as she listened more and more, she started to have a spiritual awakening that lead her to a deeper understanding of God, reality, and love in the midst of the paranormal.

On Episode 415: Sleep Terrors (Members), Jennifer joins The Confessionals to share her experiences with many forms of sleep problems such as very lifelike dreams and scary night terrors.

Jennifer also tells some additional paranormal stories, including a possible Hatman encounter.

In Episode 408: The Cursed Land of the Black Hawk War, we are joined by Evan, who tells us about growing up on land that is seemingly cursed. Evan lived on property that was once a sacred hunting ground for the Potawatomi tribe and the Menomonee tribe. At some point, the Menomonee tribe betrayed the Potowatomi and sold them out in the Black Hawk War, which resulted in the Potawatomi’s land being sold to German settlers. In an unexpected turn for the Menomonee, the German settlers pushed them out too, and desecrated their holy land by building a church right on top of the grounds. In that church is where Evan grew up and lived seven days a week. Evan’s grandfather purchased the land after the war and it has been in his family ever since. Many of Evan’s family members have been plagued with their own paranormal experiences in this home, and Evan was no different. He was tormented night after night by a violent shadow figure that pushed him down the stairs so many times that he began scooting down them instead of walking upright. He would also see a wolf in the woods behind his house that would stand and watch him. Evan recalls there being satanic carvings in the crawl spaces of the church, and has had a black figure following him his whole life. These are just some of the many experiences he shares about living on the cursed land of the Black Hawk War.

In Episode 404: It's All Connected, we have a special show for you! Brandon shares his encounter with the devil, or perhaps a demon, when he was around seven years old.

They say seeing is believing, and it’s safe to say his Dad believes there is something strange going on with these lights.

He witnessed an exorcism in church when he was a child, encountered other demonic forces while in church, and even dealt with a demonically possessed woman on the rooftop of a hospital building.
