What if a hidden meadow in the wilderness held more than just trees and grass? In this episode, Tony, Joel, and Ward recount their expedition into a place where cubes of light appeared on thermal cameras, radios crackled with unexplainable interference, and perceptions bent in ways that felt supernatural. From bizarre spiritual attacks to face-melting visions, the crew wrestles with forces that seem intent on deceiving and dividing. Their story reveals a battle between the counterfeit and the true, where even a cube might point to the cross.

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