Members Preview | 749: The Night The Sky Split Open

<div>In episode 749: The Night The Sky Split Open, Tony is joined by Shlomo, whose life has been a relentless collision between light and darkness. It began when, at just five years old, he prayed, and the <em>sky split open</em>. A glowing vertical slit, like a scroll unraveling above him, lit up the town until sunrise. That moment marked the start of a life encountered by the supernatural. Raised Catholic but surrounded by generational witchcraft, Shlomo fell deep into occultism: Ouija boards, summoning rituals, and shadow entities followed him from the Philippines to Australia. He faced poltergeists, witch doctors, and demonic figures that targeted his family for years. By the time he hit American soil, the darkness had a grip, and prison seemed like the final stop.<br /><br />But God wasn’t done. A glowing woman appeared on a stormy night. A voice asked him what he’d done with his life. A radiant being hovered in the sky. These divine encounters weren’t dreams, they were rescue missions. And each one pulled him closer to a radical transformation. Because sometimes, when the veil is ripped wide open… it’s not just to show you what’s out there. It’s to pull you out of it.<br /><br />Become a member for <strong>ad-free</strong> <strong>listening</strong>, <strong>extra shows</strong>, and <strong>exclusive</strong> access to our <strong>social media app</strong>: <a href="https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/join">theconfessionalspodcast.com/join</a><br /><br /><strong>The Confessionals Social Network App:</strong><br /><strong>Apple Store:</strong> <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-confessionals/id1666683243">https://apple.co/3UxhPrh</a><br /><strong>Google Play:</strong> <a href="https://play.google.com/store/search?q=the+confessionals&amp;c=apps&amp;pli=1">https://bit.ly/43mk8kZ</a><br /><br /><strong>My New YouTube Channel</strong><br /><strong>Merkel IRL:</strong> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@merkelIRL">@merkelIRL</a><br /><strong>My First Sermon: </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r6jDWvlyuw&amp;t=1160s">Unseen Battles</a><br /><br /><strong>Sasquatch and The Missing Man:</strong> <a href="https://merkelfilms.com/">merkelfilms.com</a><br /><strong>Merkel Media Apparel:</strong> <a href="https://merkmerch.com/">merkmerch.com</a><em><br /><br /></em><strong>SPONSORS</strong><br /><strong>SIMPLISAFE TODAY:</strong> <a href="https://simplisafe.com/confessionals">simplisafe.com/confessionals</a><br /><br /><strong>CONNECT WITH US</strong><br /><strong>Website</strong>: <a href="http://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/">www.theconfessionalspodcast.com</a><br /><strong>Email</strong>: contact@theconfessionalspodcast.com<br /><br /><strong>MAILING ADDRESS:</strong><br />Merkel Media<br />257 N.
