He Was Trained in the Occult While Working Inside Government (He Wasn’t Alone)

Darren Canning joins Tony for a wide-ranging and intense conversation about deliverance, spiritual warfare, and the hidden mechanics of the supernatural world. Darren shares firsthand accounts of demonic encounters, angelic protection, witchcraft within systems of power, and how deception operates through government, religion, and culture. He recounts dramatic moments of healing, near death, and radical faith that carried him across nations with no resources except obedience to God. The discussion also explores dreams, visions, Nephilim influence, and why purity, humility, and discernment are essential for believers navigating unseen battles. This episode is raw, unscripted, and filled with stories that challenge modern Christian comfort zones while pointing back to the authority found in Christ alone.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
