    What begins as a casual podcast episode transforms into a profound spiritual journey after a listener shares her devastating story of loss. Twenty years ago, her 11-year-old son was killed in a shooting accident, and since then, her family has experienced what she describes as the devil's continued work in their lives – including miscarriages, health issues, and generational struggles that seem almost supernatural in their timing and nature.

    The hosts respond with remarkable vulnerability, exploring the very real spiritual warfare many of us face without fully recognizing it. "If you think the devil's on top of you, then you better get the Lord on top of you," one host observes, cutting straight to the heart of how we navigate life's darkest moments. This statement becomes the touchstone for a wide-ranging conversation about faith, evil, and the unseen forces that shape our experiences.

    From there, the conversation ventures into fascinating territory – ancient biblical texts, giants who once walked the earth, angels who interacted with humans, and how these stories connect to modern spiritual struggles. The hosts skillfully weave between theological depth and practical wisdom, making complex spiritual concepts accessible through storytelling and personal reflection. They discuss the Book of Enoch, the Nephilim, and other biblical accounts often overlooked in conventional religious discussion.

    What makes this episode particularly compelling is its unflinching look at human nature. The hosts break down how people operate from either selfishness or active malice, describing how "the tyranny of evil men" manifests in everyday interactions. Their candid admissions about their own battles with negative thinking patterns (what one calls "neurosis") creates an intimate connection with listeners facing similar struggles.

    The episode concludes with a soul-stirring rendition of "Amazing Grace," perfectly encapsulating the journey from spiritual bondage to freedom through faith. Whether you're wrestling with personal tragedy, questioning the nature of good and evil, or simply seeking deeper spiritual understanding, this conversation offers both comfort and challenge for the journey ahead. Join us for an episode that might just change how you view the spiritual dimensions of your own life story.

    Something shifts in the air when you step into an abandoned hospital. The whispers of the past seem to linger in every corner, making even the bravest souls question what might be watching from the shadows. In this deeply personal episode, we gather in the old Chillicothe Hospital to share the supernatural encounters that have shaken our understanding of reality.

    Eric takes us through his bone-chilling experience working alone on New Year's Eve, when unexplained noises and mysteriously opening doors made it clear he wasn't truly alone. The hair-raising details of objects falling repeatedly from shelves with no explanation will make you think twice about dismissing those strange sounds in your own home.

    From the whistling ghost that follows a high school football game to a Ouija board session that left participants stranded in a cemetery with their car mysteriously locked, each story builds upon a shared understanding that some things simply defy logical explanation. We explore the fine line between benevolent spiritual encounters—like the patient who reached out from beyond to offer comfort during a medical crisis—and malevolent forces that seem determined to cause harm.

    The conversation takes unexpected turns, including the tale of a mysterious carpenter who created an architectural marvel before vanishing without a trace, and a cursed wooden gargoyle that refused to be destroyed even by fire. Each story serves as both entertainment and warning about the unseen forces that might be operating just beyond our perception.

    Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, these firsthand accounts from ordinary people in small-town Texas will make you question what exists beyond our understanding. Listen with the lights on—and maybe check that your doors are locked.

  • E-9-Grief, God, and Guitar: Navigating Loss with Friends
    2025/05/20

    Raw, unfiltered, and straight from an abandoned hospital in Chillicothe, Texas comes one of our most emotionally charged conversations yet. This episode strips away pretense as we navigate the complex terrain of grief, faith, and finding meaning after devastating loss.

    Fresh from attending a funeral, we dive into the uncomfortable realities of how we process death differently. Zach courageously shares his ongoing journey through grief after losing his children, exposing the anger, spiritual questioning, and daily battles that persist long after others expect healing to have occurred. His candid admission—"I get angry at God"—despite being what he calls "a 100 percenter" in his faith, creates space for listeners wrestling with similar contradictions.

    The conversation takes a turn toward the isolating aspects of profound grief, particularly how social interactions become complicated when well-meaning people don't know what to say. "Don't ask me how I've been," Zach suggests, highlighting the impossible choice between honesty that makes others uncomfortable or platitudes that feel dishonest to one's experience.

    What truly sets this episode apart is the music. Throughout our discussion, Zach performs several soul-stirring songs including "Peace in the Valley" and "Amazing Grace," each triggering palpable shifts in the emotional atmosphere. These musical interludes demonstrate what words alone cannot express—the therapeutic power of artistic expression amid overwhelming pain.

    Throughout it all runs a thread of genuine friendship and the understanding that healing isn't about returning to who we were before loss, but finding ways to carry our grief while still creating moments of meaning. As one poignant exchange reveals: "We don't want to be remembered, we just don't want to be forgotten." Listen, reflect, and perhaps find some comfort in knowing you're not alone in your darkest moments.

  • E-8-Small Town Stories: JT's Deportation & His Return to Texas

    Some friendships transcend time and distance. In this nostalgia-soaked reunion episode, we connect with JT Thompson, who joined us from Scotland to recount his journey from British schoolboy in 1980s rural Texas to his current life as a deep-sea diving technician in the North Sea.

    The conversation flows like the bottles of vodka we reminisce about—with pour tops removed for maximum effect—as we travel back to our teenage years in Chillicothe. JT takes us through his arrival in fifth grade, his struggles to be understood through his British accent, and the gradual way he became part of our small-town tapestry. Through stories of campouts gone wrong, cars with mysteriously failing axles, and late-night escapades that somehow never ended in serious trouble, we recreate a world before cell phones documented every misstep.

    The narrative takes unexpected turns as JT reveals how the aftermath of 9/11 changed his American trajectory forever. After losing his job at a travel agency, encountering legal troubles from a DUI, and watching his car mysteriously burn "to a husk," he found himself returning to the UK—only to discover he couldn't easily come back due to outstanding warrants. What followed was years of legal limbo before statutes of limitations finally cleared his path.

    Today, JT leads an extraordinary life maintaining pressure chambers on deep-sea diving vessels, working month-long shifts across the world's oceans and encountering adventures in places like Norway, Vietnam, and the Congo that are somehow even wilder than our teenage exploits. His global perspective brings new color to our shared childhood memories and reminds us how differently life can unfold from the same starting point.

    Whether you grew up in a small town, navigated life between two cultures, or just appreciate authentic conversation between old friends, this episode captures the special magic that happens when paths diverge but stories still intertwine. Subscribe now to hear more unfiltered conversations that bridge the gap between who we were and who we've become.

  • E-7-When the Devil Whispers, God Speaks Louder

    Three friends meet in an abandoned hospital to have the conversation most men never have. Raw, unfiltered, and at times deeply spiritual, this episode dives into territories often considered off-limits in male friendships.

    What begins as a casual chat quickly transforms into something profound as the hosts share their experiences with grief, addiction, and spiritual warfare. One recounts waking at 3 AM questioning whether to continue living after unimaginable loss. Another describes his battles with substance abuse and the path toward healing. Throughout it all runs a current of faith – tested, questioned, but ultimately providing a lifeline when nothing else remains.

    The conversation explores masculinity's double-bind: society expects men to be stoic yet vulnerable, strong yet sensitive. This contradiction creates pressure that manifests in addiction, depression, and alarming suicide rates. As one host observes, "they say rub dirt on it... be tough and rugged," while simultaneously demanding emotional intelligence that many men were never taught to develop.

    Most powerful are the moments of raw honesty about spiritual struggles. After losing his daughters in an accident, one host confesses his anger toward God while still maintaining his faith – a complex position rarely acknowledged in religious discussions. "The only time I'm not mad about those situations is when I'm talking about God," he reveals, illuminating how healing often happens in paradox.

    What makes this episode special isn't expertise or polished advice, but authenticity. These are friends creating space for conversations most men never have, proving that sometimes the most powerful thing we can offer each other is simply listening without judgment.

    Join us for this journey into the heart of male friendship, faith, and finding reasons to keep breathing when the darkness feels overwhelming.

  • E- 5-When Your Mind Plays Tricks: Friendship Through Life's Darkest Moments

    From the abandoned hospital in Chillicothe, Texas comes a powerful conversation about healing, vulnerability, and the human condition. Three friends(Bucky-Earl-Zack) sit down to share stories that have shaped them, struggles they've faced, and lessons they've learned along the way.

    The raw authenticity hits you immediately. There's no script, no polished narratives—just real people talking about real life. They dive into how technology has transformed our social connections, remembering Walkmans, jam boxes, and a time when going to town on Saturday was the week's big event. These nostalgic reflections serve as a gateway to deeper discussions about mental health and personal struggles. Zack shares a gutting account of loss and grief so profound that his mind began creating alternative realities to shield him from pain. "I don't care how strong you think you are," he reflects, "the mind is a fragile thing." This vulnerability creates space for honest conversation about the masks men wear and why asking for help remains so difficult, especially when society expects stoic strength.

    The friends explore the delicate balance between body, mind, and soul, acknowledging how each affects the others. "One can lead the other out," they observe, discussing how physical symptoms often manifest from emotional struggles. There's wisdom in their words, but no pretense of having everything figured out—they openly admit they're learning as they go.

    What makes this podcast extraordinary is its unflinching commitment to authenticity. These are conversations we rarely hear but desperately need—reminders that we're not alone in our struggles, that healing happens in community, and that sometimes the most important step is simply showing up and being honest about where we are.

    Listen, reflect, and perhaps find the courage to have your own healing conversations.
