From shadow figures and whispered voices to a warlock in his family line, David shares how generational darkness targeted him from childhood. But it was a hotel room prayer at age 11 that shattered the grip of fear and introduced him to the overwhelming presence of Jesus. What followed was a journey through spiritual deserts, battles with striving, and the discovery that the Holy Spirit isn’t earned—He abides.Tony and David dive into the layers of deliverance, the deception of performance-based faith, and why Gen Z is being pulled between witchcraft and revival. This conversation cuts to the heart of spiritual warfare and reveals how true freedom comes not from formulas, but from surrender.David Diga HernandezWebsite | YouTube | New BookBecome a member for ad-free listening, extra shows, and exclusive access to our social media app: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinThe Confessionals Social Network App:Apple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrhGoogle Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZMy New YouTube ChannelMerkel IRL: @merkelIRLMy First Sermon: Unseen BattlesSasquatch and The Missing Man: merkelfilms.comMerkel Media Apparel: merkmerch.comSPONSORSSIMPLISAFE TODAY: simplisafe.com/confessionalsGHOSTBED: GhostBed.com/tonyCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: contact@theconfessionalspodcast.comMAILING ADDRESS:Merkel Media257 N.
