154: Abductions Stopped By Jesus
On Episode 154: Abductions Stopped by Jesus, we sit down with MUFON Investigator Joe Jordan. Joe started out as a typical investigator, looking into people's reports of unidentified flying objects. But then, Joe began to come across cases of people being abducted by an unknown force. What is even more unusual is that he has collected well over 100 cases of these abductions that were stopped abruptly when the abductee claimed the name of Jesus Christ in the process of being abducted.BECOME A MEMBER AND GET ADDITIONAL SHOWS: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/join

150: The Assassin's Son
On Episode 150: The Assassin’s Son, we have guest Allen on the show to share a very extraordinary UFO experience he had with his father and grandfather. The craft they witnessed shone a bright light down on their house, and at the same time seemed to suppress all sounds outside the circle of light! He also shares some paranormal experiences. But before everything, Allen first talks about his dad’s unique set of skills...as a hired assassin! The common denominator in everything Allen shares is that each of his stories involve his father, in one way or another.Become a member: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comSubscribe to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/2TlREaISubscribe to the Newsletter: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/the-newsletterEmail: theconfessionalspodcast@gmail.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/TheConfessionalsPodcastInstagram: @theconfessionalspodcastTony's Instagram: @tony_merkelShow Intro INSTRUMENTAL: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyub39AXxUwShow Intro FREE DOWNLOAD: https://bit.ly/2HxNcw3Show art: Nate Hallinan (www.natehallinan.com)Audio Trailer: Dalton Boyd (www.soundcloud.com/supernova-city)Outro: Metallica - Enter Sandman (Joel Fletcher & Reece Low Bootleg) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAWW2sW7XpI

148: It Dragged My Puppy Away
The start of tonight's show is a little different. The Confessionals had a record month in July with 751,000 downloads and as I pondered where the show was at with its reach I began to wonder who is hitting play on a weekly bases. With the horrific shootings over this past weekend, I felt an overwhelming sense of obligation to speak to some of the people that might be listening that are thinking about hurting themselves or other people. For the first 30 minutes, you will not hear your typical introduction to a weekly episode. I don't like living with regrets and if I didn't say what I felt inside I would regret it in the morning. So as much as I bounced back and forth on whether or not to do something different I decided to go for it and I hope that it reaches someone that needed to hear something that I said.After the extended introduction, we bring on Kimberly who shares about here haunting experiences living in a few apartments in the midst of some really bad life circumstances. Some of the things she describes sound completely terrifying to have to go through yet she came out seemingly upbeat about life!Subscribe to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/2TlREaISubscribe to the Newsletter: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/the-newsletterBecome a member: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: theconfessionalspodcast@gmail.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/TheConfessionalsPodcastInstagram: @theconfessionalspodcastTony's Instagram: @tony_merkelShow Intro INSTRUMENTAL: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyub39AXxUwShow Intro FREE DOWNLOAD: https://bit.ly/2HxNcw3Nate Hallinan (www.natehallinan.com)Audio Trailer: Dalton Boyd (www.soundcloud.com/supernova-city)Outro: DJ Cummerbund - Earth, Wind & Ozzys (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuOuUixdSvY)Intro Speaker: Jordan Peterson - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qszCTyK9tHk&t=184s
