In this powerful conversation, Tony Merkel sits down with pastor and author Darren Stott to explore biblical portals, spiritual warfare, and the unseen battle shaping today's culture. They reveal how modern technology and supernatural experiences echo patterns found throughout Scripture while exposing the dangers of counterfeit spiritual power. Most importantly, Darren explains why Jesus Christ is the only path to true freedom and lasting hope in an increasingly deceptive world.
