The mystery of Loch Ness just got even stranger. With six new Loch Ness Monster sightings this year, reports of intense UFO activity over the loch, and eerie connections to deep water, portals, and the supernatural, we're asking whether these phenomena are all part of the same mystery. Plus, we revisit the growing Black Panther reports from East Tennessee and explore why these impossible encounters keep happening.If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890📕 Pre-order Tony's Book: https://a.co/d/0bJS3SaVBecome a member for ad-free listening, extra shows, and exclusive access to our social media app: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinThe Confessionals Social Network App:Apple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrhGoogle Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZThe Counter Series Available NOW:The Counter (YouTube): WATCH HEREThe Counter (Full Episode): WATCH HERETony's Recommended Reads: slingshotlibrary.comIf you want to learn about Jesus and what it means to be saved: Click HereMerkel Media Apparel: merkmerch.comSPONSORSGHOSTBED: GhostBed.com/tonyQUINCE: quince.com/tonyIVERMECTIN: twc.health/tonyVENICE AI: https://venice.ai/theconfessionalsRUMBLE WALLET: https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/ConfessionalsCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: [email protected] ADDRESS:Merkel Media6726 Morganton RdP.O.

Could hidden prophecies preserved for nearly 2,000 years reveal a deeper understanding of the Bible than most Christians have ever been taught? Tony Merkel sits down with author and researcher Josh Peck for a fascinating exploration of the Dead Sea Scrolls, uncovering why these ancient manuscripts may be more important today than ever before. Josh explains how the Essenes, the Book of Enoch, the Dead Sea Scroll calendar, and overlooked biblical prophecy connect in ways that challenge long-held assumptions while strengthening confidence in Scripture. As the conversation unfolds, they examine how forgotten history, remarkable prophetic patterns, and the preservation of these ancient texts could reshape how believers understand the end times and the foundations of the Christian faith. If you're fascinated by biblical prophecy, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Essenes, the Book of Enoch, and the hidden history behind the Bible, this is an episode you won't want to miss.If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890📕 Pre-order Tony's Book: https://a.co/d/0bJS3SaVBecome a member for ad-free listening, extra shows, and exclusive access to our social media app: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinThe Confessionals Social Network App:Apple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrhGoogle Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZThe Counter Series Available NOW:The Counter (YouTube): WATCH HEREThe Counter (Full Episode): WATCH HERETony's Recommended Reads: slingshotlibrary.comIf you want to learn about Jesus and what it means to be saved: Click HereMerkel Media Apparel: merkmerch.comJosh PeckWebsite | YouTubeSPONSORSGHOSTBED: GhostBed.com/tonyQUINCE: quince.com/tonyIVERMECTIN: twc.health/tonyVENICE AI: https://venice.ai/theconfessionalsRUMBLE WALLET: https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/ConfessionalsCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: [email protected] ADDRESS:Merkel Media6726 Morganton RdP.O.

What if the evidence for biblical giants is hiding in plain sight? In this episode, Travis Roy joins Tony Merkel to recount the terrifying night he witnessed a massive humanoid sprint across a dark Texas road, an encounter that launched years of investigating giant footprints and ancient mysteries. As his search deepened, Travis uncovered fossilized human tracks that he believes challenge conventional history and raise profound questions about the Nephilim, ancient America, and the biblical record. Rather than relying on speculation, he shares the discoveries that convinced him something extraordinary once walked this land, and why those findings continue to shape his understanding of Scripture and the supernatural today. If you've ever wondered whether giants were real, this conversation offers a compelling look at the evidence and why it matters.If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890📕 Pre-order Tony's Book: https://a.co/d/0bJS3SaV📰 Subscribe to Our Newsletter: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/newsletterBecome a member for ad-free listening, extra shows, and exclusive access to our social media app: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinThe Confessionals Social Network App:Apple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrhGoogle Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZThe Counter Series Available NOW:The Counter (YouTube): WATCH HEREThe Counter (Full Episode): WATCH HERETony's Recommended Reads: slingshotlibrary.comIf you want to learn about Jesus and what it means to be saved: Click HereMerkel Media Apparel: merkmerch.comTravis Royinstagram | YouTubeSPONSORSGHOSTBED: GhostBed.com/tonyQUINCE: quince.com/tonyIVERMECTIN: twc.health/tonyVENICE AI: https://venice.ai/theconfessionalsRUMBLE WALLET: https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/ConfessionalsCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: [email protected] ADDRESS:Merkel Media6726 Morganton RdP.O.

In Episode 395: The Mysterious Randonautica, we are joined by Josh Lengfelder, the CEO of the Randonautica app! Ever since the Randonautica app was released, we’ve received emails from listeners asking for our thoughts and opinions about it. Some people love the app and enjoy the random adventures that it takes them on, while others feel there is something dark and sinister behind it. Some people have even accused the app makers of foul play. As the app’s founder, Josh discusses Randonautica with us with openness and sincerity, describing the process of the app’s creation by hooking it up to a quantum computer based in Australia, which spits out random locations for its users to investigate. But, because no one fully comprehends quantum physics, even the Randonautica team itself is still learning how to understand the creation they have built.Become a member for AD FREE listening and EXTRA shows: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinMAILING ADDRESS:STE 36188 Glocker Way,Pottstown, PA 19465WHO SAW THE MEN IN BLACKAmazon Prime: https://amzn.to/3oknNM6Other Playing Platforms: https://geni.us/WhoSawTheMenInBlackSPONSORSGET RAYCON: buyraycon.com/confessionalsGET Cerebral: getcerebral.com/tonyGET SIMPLISAFE TODAY: simplisafe.com/confessionalsGET Hello Fresh: hellofresh.com/confessionals14 Promo Code: "confessionals14" for 14 FREE MEALS!!!GET ACORN.TV: acorn.tv/ Promo Code: "tony" (Code must be applied in all lowercase letters!)Get Emergency Food Supplies: www.preparewiththeconfessionals.comGet Beard Oil: bit.ly/2FbOhN5CONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: [email protected] to the Newsletter: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/the-newsletterSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/2TlREaITikTok: @theconfessionalsDiscord: https://discord.gg/KDn4D2uw7hShow Instagram: theconfessionalspodcastTony's Instagram: tonymerkelofficialFacebook: www.facebook.com/TheConfessionalsPodcastTwitter: @TConfessionalsTony's Twitter: @tony_merkelJosh's book:The Official Guide to Randonautica: https://amzn.to/3pd4Uv8

What if the terrifying supernatural encounter that haunted your childhood was never random? Join Tony Merkel as he sits down with Aron, who shares how years of being stalked by a mysterious, rake-like creature ultimately led him through fear, deception, witchcraft, and a desperate search for truth before he encountered the life-changing power of Jesus Christ. Rather than letting darkness define his story, Aron explains how those experiences became the foundation for a ministry focused on exposing spiritual warfare and confronting the occult through biblical faith. Together, Tony and Aron explore what these encounters reveal about the unseen battle taking place around us and why spiritual discernment is more important than ever. Whether you're fascinated by cryptid encounters, spiritual warfare, or powerful Christian testimonies, this episode will challenge the way you think about the supernatural.If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890📕 Pre-order Tony's Book: https://a.co/d/0bJS3SaVBecome a member for ad-free listening, extra shows, and exclusive access to our social media app: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinThe Confessionals Social Network App:Apple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrhGoogle Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZThe Counter Series Available NOW:The Counter (YouTube): WATCH HEREThe Counter (Full Episode): WATCH HERETony's Recommended Reads: slingshotlibrary.comIf you want to learn about Jesus and what it means to be saved: Click HereMerkel Media Apparel: merkmerch.comSPONSORSGHOSTBED: GhostBed.com/tonyQUINCE: quince.com/tonyIVERMECTIN: twc.health/tonyVENICE AI: https://venice.ai/theconfessionalsRUMBLE WALLET: https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/ConfessionalsCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: [email protected] ADDRESS:Merkel Media6726 Morganton RdP.O.

What if the voice you think is from God is actually leading you toward deception? Joseph Z joins Tony Merkel to reveal the supernatural encounter that launched his prophetic calling. From that life-changing experience, he explains how God began shaping his understanding of the prophetic, why counterfeit spiritual experiences are becoming more convincing, and how believers can develop the discernment needed to recognize truth in an increasingly deceptive world. Rather than living in fear, Joseph offers a biblical perspective on hearing God's voice, walking in your God-given calling, and remaining firmly rooted in Christ as spiritual battles intensify. Whether you're curious about the prophetic, searching for biblical answers, or simply want to grow closer to God, this conversation will challenge what you think you know about hearing His voice.If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890📕 Pre-order Tony's Book: https://a.co/d/0bJS3SaV📰 Subscribe to Our Newsletter: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/newsletterBecome a member for ad-free listening, extra shows, and exclusive access to our social media app: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinThe Confessionals Social Network App:Apple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrhGoogle Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZThe Counter Series Available NOW:The Counter (YouTube): WATCH HEREThe Counter (Full Episode): WATCH HERETony's Recommended Reads: slingshotlibrary.comIf you want to learn about Jesus and what it means to be saved: Click HereMerkel Media Apparel: merkmerch.comJoseph ZWebsite | YouTubeSPONSORSGHOSTBED: GhostBed.com/tonyQUINCE: quince.com/tonyIVERMECTIN: twc.health/tonyVENICE AI: https://venice.ai/theconfessionalsRUMBLE WALLET: https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/ConfessionalsCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: [email protected] ADDRESS:Merkel Media6726 Morganton RdP.O.

As Tony reacts to the episode, he shares new insights, behind-the-scenes thoughts, and how his perspective has evolved since it first aired. What once seemed like an extraordinary story now carries an even deeper significance through everything he has learned since.

What if the Bible has been explaining the UFO phenomenon all along? Tony Merkel welcomes L.A. Marzulli to discuss why he believes the Nephilim are central to understanding the growing fascination with UFOs and the supernatural. Drawing from decades of firsthand research, L.A. shares remarkable stories that have shaped his conclusions about hidden archaeological discoveries and their possible biblical significance. He also explains how Genesis 3:15 and the Book of Enoch influence his understanding of an ongoing spiritual battle that continues to unfold today. As governments increasingly acknowledge the UFO phenomenon, L.A. argues that Christians must be prepared to discern truth from deception. L.A.'s insights invite you to reconsider ancient mysteries through a biblical lens and examine why they may matter now more than ever.If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890📕 Pre-order Tony's Book: https://a.co/d/0bJS3SaVBecome a member for ad-free listening, extra shows, and exclusive access to our social media app: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinThe Confessionals Social Network App:Apple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrhGoogle Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZThe Counter Series Available NOW:The Counter (YouTube): WATCH HEREThe Counter (Full Episode): WATCH HERETony's Recommended Reads: slingshotlibrary.comIf you want to learn about Jesus and what it means to be saved: Click HereMerkel Media Apparel: merkmerch.comLA MarzulliWebsite | YouTubeSPONSORSGHOSTBED: GhostBed.com/tonyQUINCE: quince.com/tonyIVERMECTIN: twc.health/tonyVENICE AI: https://venice.ai/theconfessionalsRUMBLE WALLET: https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/ConfessionalsCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: [email protected] ADDRESS:Merkel Media6726 Morganton RdP.O.
