"It was terrifying. The effect was paralysis. I was fully conscious, in pain, but unable to move, speak, or see. I could not even open my eyelids. The only one I could truly communicate with was God."

What if the only thing you could do was feel pain—and hear? That became Robert Koonce’s reality after an autoimmune attack left him completely paralyzed. He couldn’t move, speak, blink, or even clear his throat. All he could do was endure—and pray.

In this episode, Robert, a man of deep faith, working within the Diocese of Cleveland, recounts his yearlong journey through suffering, silence, and supernatural encounters. Unable to interact with the world, his only true conversation was with God—and that dialogue went deeper than ever before. From spiritual consolation to demonic deception, Robert’s story reminds us that even when the body is bound, the soul is free to rise.
