Yesterday at 7:00 PM

Are new “psychedelic” treatments safe?


Recently Podcaster Joe Rogan advocated for Ibogain, a psychoactive substance, to be used in the medical field to treat PTSD, trauma and addiction.


But when you delve into the history of mind alteration, spiritual practises and research / experiments by the CIA, you soon discover a concerning reality.


We spoke to Naomi from the UK who was drawn into this so-called medical treatment and came out with a strong warning about its spiritual effects.

Tonight we are joined by author and speaker Joseph Jordan, who has spent 30 years researching the UFO / UAP phenomenon.

During his years of ministry, Joseph Jordan has helped countless victims of “abduction” and found a trend among those who have been affected.

Abductees who call upon the name of Jesus Christ, sing a hymn or quote scripture from the Bible, are able to make the experience stop.

This factor, among many others discussed in this podcast episode, have proven time and again to Joseph and the CE4 Research team, that we are dealing with...

06/10/2026

Tonight we are talking about the dangers of critical theory and its religious counterpart “Liberation Theology” (which was first coined by a Jesuit priest).


This popular belief system takes highly complex issues and paints them as black & white, removing all nuance.


In this ideology there’s always a perpetual “oppressor”, who can never do anything right. And a perpetually “oppressed”, who can never do anything wrong.


Often the result is that even more oppression is created. And, at worst, it leads to a much worse outcome than it sought to resolve.

What is the connection between Vatican II and the New Age Movement?


Tonights guest is Christian J. Pinto, director and producer of American Jesuits: A History of Jesuitism in the United States.

We draw on his expertise in research about the Jesuit order to determine why Jesuit author Teilhard de Chardin was known as the “Father of the New Age”.

How did his alleged involvement with the “missing link” hoax in 1912 (known as The Piltdown Man) relate to the overarching agenda to connect science with spirituality and push the gnostic belief in Spiritua...

05/08/2026

Tonight we are talking about the doctrines of demons behind agendas which are being pushed forward by the New Age Movement and the inter-dimensional Alien narrative.


We see ancient deceptions infiltrating peoples minds and worldview as they become convinced that humanity wasn’t created by the God of the Bible, but instead we were 'seeded on the earth' by an advanced group of highly evolved beings.


However, as we dig into where these ideas originate, and its influences in the modern new age movement, we discover something very disturbing.

Adira was heavily involved in Woke Activism at her University Campus, but her life turned around when she was gradually drawn towards God. She'd heard some Bible stories growing up, but felt that she would not be able to become a Christian due to her own personal struggles.

But after years of pursuing an alternate lifestyle and campaigning for liberal causes, Adira began to question her lifestyle...

Cameron was once involved with the online truth movement, but began to grow concerned when he realised the solutions that were being offered to world problems, was Gnostic / Theosophy.

This made him feel disillusioned after years of listening to David Icke and others.

When Cameron found Jesus Christ of the Bible, he began to see through this deception, and now warns us today of the current trajectory of our increasingly polarised world.
