{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Members Preview | 904: Testing a Lying Spirit | Larry Ragland","description":"How do you know the spirit speaking to you is telling the truth? In this episode, Tony sits down with Larry Ragland to examine spiritual discernment and the danger of entities that mix truth with deception. They discuss false voices, NHI, testing supernatural claims through Scripture, and why discernment requires more than simply trusting an experience because it feels good or sounds convincing. The conversation ultimately turns to salvation, evangelism, and the responsibility Christians have to recognize deception and point people toward the truth of Jesus Christ.\n\nIf you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890📕 Order Tony's Book: https://a.co/d/0bJS3SaV\n🎥 Tony Merkel YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@tony.merkel\n🌐 Visit: tonymerkel.com\n (https://www.tonymerkel.com/)\n📰 Subscribe to Our Newsletter: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/newsletter\nBecome a member for ad-free listening, extra shows, and exclusive access to our social media app: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/join\nThe Confessionals Social Network App:\nApple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrh (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-confessionals/id1666683243)\nGoogle Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZ\n (https://play.google.com/store/search?q=the+confessionals&c=apps&pli=1)\nThe Counter\nS2 EP1 (Witchcraft): WATCH HERE (https://youtu.be/wQ0nsTkBwQ8?si=eSp1C-t3FiP_5xNw)\nTony's Recommended Reads: slingshotlibrary.com\n (https://shop.recomsale.com/merkel/)\nIf you want to learn about Jesus and what it means to be saved: Click Here (https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/gospel)\n\nMerkel Media Apparel: merkmerch.com (https://merkmerch.com/)\n\nSPONSORS\nGHOSTBED: GhostBed.com/tony\n (https://www.ghostbed.com/pages/tony?utm_medium=influencer&utm_source=podcast&utm_campaign=tony) QUINCE: quince.com/tony (https://www.quince.com/our-core-collection?utm_source=veritone&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=tony)\nRUMBLE WALLET: https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/Confessionals\nCONNECT WITH US\nWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.com (http://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/)\nEmail: contact@theconfessionalspodcast.com\n\nMAILING ADDRESS:\nMerkel Media\n6726 Morganton Rd\nP.O.
