Pastor, author, and child rescuer Troy Brewer joins us to explore one of the most mind-bending topics in Scripture—time travel and the redemption of your timeline. Troy walks us through the biblical framework for understanding how God, who exists outside of time, space, and matter, can reach into any moment of our lives to bring healing and transformation. He dismantles the idea that we are prisoners of a linear timeline. Drawing from the very first verse of Genesis, Brewer explains how time, space, and matter exist in a perfect continuum that God, as the Creator, is not subject to in any way. From the Book of Revelation as a literal time-travel account to the hidden purpose behind humanity's fall into a timeline, this conversation will reshape how you think about prophecy, free will, and God's sovereign plan.

The conversation dives deep into the "blurry" intersection of theoretical physics and biblical miracles, exploring how God can stop, accelerate, or even reverse time for the sake of redemption. Brewer shares a staggering account of a former inmate whose entire 24-year criminal record was supernaturally erased from government files after a focused prayer session. Troy shares powerful stories from his work rescuing trafficked children around the world, including a stunning testimony about a nonverbal girl in the Amazon whose life was transformed when Troy obeyed a prophetic dream about a "missed miracle." We dig into how trauma can be redeemed when we invite Jesus into our past, how prayer can transcend time itself, and the practical steps for surrendering every season of your life to God's dominion. From the time-jumping visions of John the Revelator to the practical application of "future prayers," this episode challenges everything you know about the constraints of your own life. It will leave you seeing the cross and your timeline in an entirely new light.

Michael Gagliardi joins us in the basement to share his harrowing true story of growing up with a demonically possessed mother in a small town in Ontario, Canada. From age three, Michael witnessed his mother's terrifying transformation as demonic forces took complete control over the next twelve years. Broken teeth, black eyes, guttural voices, and inhuman strength became the norm in a household where Michael was isolated and starving while his father worked hours away. He survived by sleeping with a hockey stick and barricading his door each night against a woman who had become unrecognizable.

But Michael's story doesn't end in darkness. After escaping to California, meeting his wife just ten days later, and discovering that his mother died the very day he left, Michael encountered Jesus on a bus in a moment that changed everything. Now a student of spiritual warfare with decades of research behind him, Michael shares his insights on the kingdom of darkness, the reality of demonic possession, and why the name of Jesus remains the ultimate litmus test for every supernatural encounter. This is a testimony of survival, redemption, and hard-won wisdom from someone who lived with the enemy.

Chad Hayes and his brother Carey wrote The Conjuring—a film with no sex, no blood, and two Christians as the heroes. It became one of the highest-grossing horror films of all time. What most people don't know is that the supernatural events didn't stop when the cameras turned off. Strange voices interrupted phone calls with Lorraine Warren. Objects moved on their own in the artifacts room. Chad's son fled the set after something started operating by itself in the dark. And that was just the beginning.In this episode, Chad shares what Lorraine Warren was really like, the moment on set when she walked up to a crew member and knew exactly what was tormenting him, and why he's spent the last two decades chasing true stories of demonic confrontation, from a possessed man chained to a wall in India to the haunted LaLaurie House in New Orleans where something pounded on a grown man's chest in the middle of the night. Chad opens up about all of it, plus his upcoming projects, why he believes the best horror movies are really love stories, and why he only tells stories where the devil loses.

Halloween night, 2001. A blue moon hangs over Virginia, a celestial event so rare it only occurs a handful of times per century. Seth, a young man wrestling with his faith and freshly removed from Liberty University, decides on a whim to drive out to the Blue Ridge Parkway alone. No plan, no destination, just a quiet stretch of road under a perfect, cloudless sky. He pulls into an empty turnout, not a single car in sight, and figures, why not take a night hike? The trail is short, the visibility through the trees is crystal clear, and he settles onto a bench to take in the stillness. That's when the silence becomes unnatural. No insects. No wind. Nothing, until the snapping of twigs begins circling him from the darkness.

Back at his car, things escalate. Pinging sounds strike the steel frame of his 1970 Chevy Bel Air like pine cones being hurled from the void. The tree line ahead begins shifting, figures standing where there were none before. And on the grass median to his left, flat shapes appear like blankets tossed on the ground, cloaked and hooded but with no depth, no hands, no faces. Each time Seth looks away and back, they've moved closer. Then comes the flickering, a light sparking where a face should be, like a Bic lighter that can't hold a flame. Seth has never been able to find another account like this, and we try to unpack it through the lens of his testimony, childhood trauma, spiritual access, and the strange convergence of a once-in-a-generation night.
