Summary
The veil between the natural and the spiritual is thinner than ever. In this live broadcast, we explore the terrifying and glorious reality of worlds colliding. Is the "Upside Down" manifesting in our world actually the beginning of the Great Tribulation? We are diving deep into the Apocalypse, the rise of darkness from beneath the earth, and the ultimate hope found in the Return of Christ. Join us as we discuss how spiritual warfare is manifesting into physical reality and what you need to do to be ready for the final clash.
Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
