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.

In this episode we cover:

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...

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 are the dangers of the New Apostolic Reformation?

Tonight we look at methods of mind control and hypnosis used in cults. There are many unhealthy groups and movements (such as Bethel Music, Hillsong, Elevation, Jesus Culture, Jesus image) in our day, and its vital to know the signs to look for.

During the episode we discuss:

- The tactics of mind control and its effects

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...

What are the similarities?

Doreen has experience of both movements in her past and takes us through both concepts of dominion and the similarities that link both philosophies and how to differentiate what is healthy.

In this episode we cover:

- What is a healthy vs unhealthy view of...

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.

Tonight we speak with Adira Polite (Then God Moved), after her raw and inspiring life testimony was published on Christianity Today, in an article entitled "Coming Out Christian".

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...

Tonight we are joined by Rusty Thomas.

The life of the Thomas family radically changed when their son Jeremiah Thomas, 16, discovered he was suffering from an aggressive form of bone cancer, with only a 10% survival rate.

What followed was an incredible journey of trials, Christian faith and suffering, that impacted the lives of millions of people.

People from all over the world began to follow Jeremiah’s story live on social media as it unfolded, and many earnestly prayed for Jeremiah to be healed.

Disclosure Day Movie Propaganda in 2026. But what does it mean?

Tonight we speak to Dr Anthony Harper, who is a journalist and writer for InterMountain Christian News in Idaho. Dr Harper sometimes appears at the White House press conferences to ask questions from a Biblical perspective.

In this episode I ask him what his thoughts are on the recent comments made by President Donald Trump, which stated that the “Alien files” or disclosure of what the US Department of War knows about extraterrestrials, UAPS or UFOS, should be released to the public.

Tonight we are joined by Doreen Virtue, who spent 20 years working as a 'New Age Guru' and appeared on TV shows such as Oprah, CNN and The View. After writing 50 books on new thought and spiritualism, Doreen became a household name and mentor to many.

Tonight we speak to Steve Montgomery, author of popular book, The Converging Apostasy.

In this discussion we talk about the New Apostolic Reformation and its heavy focus on what it terms ‘deliverance’.

The movement, popularised by figures like Derek Prince and William Branham, teaches that Christian’s can have a “dual spirit” and need to be exorcised of demonic spirits to find freedom.

Listen to this episode for an insight into the history of these ideas, where they came from, and whether they are Biblical.

Tonight we speak to Cameron from Edinburgh, Scotland, who joins us to discuss the polarisation of society.

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.
