For twelve years, Michael Gagliardi lived in a house with something he could not name. It started with séances and voices in the walls, then scratching and knocking that the whole family heard, and slowly the oppression became something far worse. His mother, a soft-spoken four-foot-eleven woman with bright green eyes, became unrecognizable. She spoke in languages she never knew. She hit herself with a log until she bled. She chased his sister around the car with a butcher knife and was taken away in a straitjacket, only to sign herself out and come home three months later. And every single night, young Michael slept in a fetal position with a hockey stick, a dresser loaded with bricks shoved against his bedroom door, listening to her try to get in.

This is one of the most harrowing firsthand accounts of demonic possession we have ever heard. Michael walks Nate and Luke through the day he found his mother sawing the chain off the freezer, the moment her green eyes turned to solid black, and the strange final letter that warned him not to become a wild man. He also lays out the Nephilim and cosmic geography framework he has spent thirty years building to make sense of it all, the same research behind his book The Devil Takes the Hindmost. This episode originally aired for members only, and we are opening it up as a window into what lives behind the paywall every week.

He was sixteen when it happened. A bright light, an electrical charge through his whole body, and the unmistakable feeling of levitating off his bed. What James remembers next reads like a nightmare he cannot wake from: metallic walls, a room that felt evil and perverted, and a gestation tube with a small body floating inside. When morning came, he found a hard bump the size of a dime pushed out from the inside of his wrist. He asked his sister if she had anything like it. She did not, but she saw his, and a decade later she still remembers it.James buried the whole thing as a strange dream until the memories came rushing back last year. In this episode, he tells Nate and Luke the full account and lays out why he no longer believes these beings are neutral visitors or simple demons, but something committing very real crimes on a plane we barely understand. Woven through it all is the deception he keeps circling back to, a dream where a room full of people declared that Jesus was an alien and the true messiah was on his way. If you have ever wondered where abduction and spiritual warfare meet, this conversation goes straight to the seam.

Rewind four years. Zach Duke looks in the mirror and does not like the man staring back. He is out of shape. He is chronically sick. He is a dad running on empty. So he prays a dangerous prayer. He asks God not to let him move from his chair until the fire comes back. What God says next makes no sense. Play soccer. Zach has never played. He posts his training every day to nobody. Then the internet finds him.Videos with tens of millions of views later, Zach earns a spot on a Team USA World Cup 6x6 roster at an age when most players retire. But this is not a sports story. It is the story of a missionary who has walked through 45 countries, survived a demonic attack, and learned that Jesus wants to be on the field with him. Nate and Luke sit down with the man known as World Cup Dad to talk transformation, the fear of man, and the God who uses the weak things to shame the strong.

She saw the tumor months before the diagnosis. While praying over her seemingly healthy mother, Abby Robertson had a vision so disturbing she could not bring herself to write it down. Two to three months later, her mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, already spreading and beyond surgery. Abby prayed with a certainty she had never felt, convinced God had prepared her to witness a healing. What happened next sent her searching for answers she is still looking for. In this episode, she and Ryan Bethea of The Exorcist Files sit down with Nate and Luke to talk about what it actually means to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, and what to do when the answer is not the one you begged for.Abby is the granddaughter of CBN founder Pat Robertson, and she brings the whole family story with her: a man who sold every possession he owned, moved his family into a rat-infested Bronx apartment, and launched the first Christian television network with three dollars to his name. You will also hear about the honeymoon money given away in obedience and returned tenfold, a Medal of Honor recipient who survived a firefight untouched, and a businessman who asked God to rewire his brain for MIT-level math. Equal parts hilarious and holy, this conversation will make you wonder what God might be saying that you have been missing.

Deep in the highlands of Papua, a glowing stone appears in their village. The Wano call it the Delima. It moves on its own. It vanishes from your hand. And it has to choose you before you can claim it with your own blood. The brothers grew up chasing this legend, and what their friends witnessed on that mountainside still has no explanation. Is it an undiscovered piece of creation or something darker wearing a beautiful disguise?Then the conversation turns to giants. The Wano tell of the Flying Wano, a towering race born from a strange ancestor whose body would not burn. The tribe feared them, gathered them at a feast, and set the house on fire. Their bones are still preserved in a cave, and the brothers' best friend has seen them with his own eyes. Add in a mysterious iron shaft buried where metal should not exist, giant handprints on impossible cliffs, and a 21-foot lizard called the Baludok that charged a missionary helicopter, and you have one of the wildest conversations we've ever had on this show.
