Members Preview | 868: The Nephilim Mind Virus Revisited
6/4/202618 min
In this episode, Tony experiments with a new watch-along format as he revisits Episode 508, “Nephilim Mind Virus,” featuring Dr. Laura Sanger. What began as a spontaneous look back becomes a reflection on one of the most pivotal conversations in the history of The Confessionals. Tony explains how that episode helped shift his perspective from viewing encounters as isolated stories to recognizing the deeper spiritual war behind them. He revisits topics like Nephilim bloodlines, demonic oppression, spiritual mapping, deliverance, cryptids, parasites, and the blurred line between the physical and supernatural. Along the way, Tony reflects on his own growth, past mistakes, church hurt, renewed conviction, and the responsibility to walk with discernment. This watch-along is part commentary, part confession, and part spiritual recalibration for anyone who has followed the evolution of the show.
Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
