    New Evidence of Portals at the Miami "Bayside" Mall | Slingshot Nation
    Mar 27 2026
    Something new just surfaced about the Miami Mall incident… and it’s raising more questions than answers.In this livestream, we’re breaking down a Reddit post that’s been circulating online, claiming to reveal new details and overlooked evidence from the night of the Miami mall chaos. From the scale of the police response to witness accounts that don’t quite line up with the official story, we’re going to examine what’s being presented, and ask whether something is being misunderstood… or intentionally downplayed.But we’re not stopping at Miami.We’re zooming out to explore a much bigger idea, one that’s been talked about for years. We’ll connect this incident to the research of Tom Horn on Mount Graham and its alleged portal activity, the biblical account of Jacob’s Ladder as a gateway between realms, and insights from Ross Coulthart regarding locations around the world believed to function as “portals.”Are there places where the veil between realms is thinner?Could events like Miami be misinterpreted glimpses of something deeper?And if the “portal” idea has any truth to it… what does that actually mean from a biblical perspective?Miami Mall Incident REDDIT Post: http://bit.ly/3NnedJiPlease pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

    What if the spiritual war isn’t coming… but already happening in a realm most people can’t see?Tony sits down with Jade for a conversation that quickly moves beyond theory into firsthand encounters with what he calls “the other place”; a parallel realm where spiritual warfare is actively unfolding against people who have no idea they’re under attack. Jade describes witnessing dogman-like entities acting as enforcers, shadowy structures that function like strongholds, and hooded figures engaged in what appears to be organized, intentional darkness. What’s happening there, he claims, manifests here as depression, fear, division, and anxiety, revealing a hidden layer to everyday struggles. The discussion also explores the rise of occult practices, astral projection, and technology merging with spiritual access, suggesting the veil between realms may be thinning. At its core, this episode is a warning, and a call for believers to wake up, step into spiritual authority, and recognize that the battle is already underway.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

    847: The Days of Noah & The Final Flood
    Mar 24 2026
    What if the days of Noah weren’t just history, but a warning about what’s happening right now?Tony sits down with Pastor Larry Ragland to unpack a sobering message about the modern Church, the great deception, and a coming reality most believers aren’t prepared for. Drawing from The Final Flood, Larry asserts that we are entering a time marked not just by chaos, but by a collision of darkness and divine glory, where deception becomes normalized and discernment becomes rare. The conversation explores Nephilim incursions, occult influence, transhumanism, and alien disclosure, all framed through a biblical lens that suggests something ancient is returning in a new form. As the urgency builds, one theme remains clear, something is coming, even if we can’t fully define it yet. And in the end, the warning shifts from theory to reality: the door is still open, but it won’t stay that way forever.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

one of my favourite episodes. What Tony said about passing his kids rooms and praying for them, asking spirits to stay away from them. My dad used to do this when i was a kid as well. He has his third eye open and in our culture, we call it walking between 2 worlds so he can see entities and has clairvoyant dreams.

Loved this Episode
