Summary

Michael Gagliardi joins us in the basement to share his harrowing true story of growing up with a demonically possessed mother in a small town in Ontario, Canada. From age three, Michael witnessed his mother's terrifying transformation as demonic forces took complete control over the next twelve years. Broken teeth, black eyes, guttural voices, and inhuman strength became the norm in a household where Michael was isolated and starving while his father worked hours away. He survived by sleeping with a hockey stick and barricading his door each night against a woman who had become unrecognizable. But Michael's story doesn't end in darkness. After escaping to California, meeting his wife just ten days later, and discovering that his mother died the very day he left, Michael encountered Jesus on a bus in a moment that changed everything. Now a student of spiritual warfare with decades of research behind him, Michael shares his insights on the kingdom of darkness, the reality of demonic possession, and why the name of Jesus remains the ultimate litmus test for every supernatural encounter. This is a testimony of survival, redemption, and hard-won wisdom from someone who lived with the enemy. Want to listen to this episode and an entire back catalog of exclusive members-only content?

1:00.0	The Smithsonian that if they found out about a large skeleton somewhere was to go get it.
1:08.0	I'm going to assume at least one person is right, because if one person's right to bust the

1:34.0	And this guy defects from the kingdom.
1:35.7	That's a big deal.
1:43.9	We're just here in the basement and we're ready.
