Summary

This week, host Steve Taylor invites you to wade into waters best left untested. In our latest episode, faith and fear run together in dark currents, pulling you toward something ancient beneath the surface. When a forgotten journal resurfaces on the banks of an Ohio river, it whispers of devotion, madness, and the thin line between salvation and surrender. What begins as a story of love and belief soon becomes a chilling meditation on how easily faith can drag us under.
