Summary

What happens when rescuing women from human trafficking becomes a direct confrontation with the powers of darkness? Tony and Kenny Sacht take you to the frontlines, where spiritual warfare erupts in brothels, prayers break through demonic resistance, and the unseen realm pushes back against every act of freedom. From lightning-split nights to moments when entire rescue missions were supernaturally threatened, this episode reveals the cost of fighting evil face to face, and the power that comes when heaven joins the battle.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!

If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890
