| Ep 282 - Mark Gober | Ibogaine: A Brutal and Evolutionary Experience | 15 Feb 2026 | 02:12:48 | |
In this return conversation, Mark Gober opens up about one of the most intense and transformative experiences of his life: a guided ibogaine journey that forced him into direct confrontation with the roots of identity, self-judgment, and inherited fear. What unfolds is not psychedelic glamour or mystical escapism, but a brutal, compassionate reckoning with the architecture of the psyche — from parts work and suppressed rage to ancestral trauma and the meaning of real self-love. Mark describes communing with an intelligence that seemed to know him better than he knew himself, dismantling old narratives while demanding embodiment, responsibility, and integration. This is a raw exploration of what happens when insight becomes unavoidable, when healing moves through the body, and when love arrives in the form of truth.

| Ep 281 - Andrew Genovese | The Real AF Guide to Spirituality | 08 Feb 2026 | 01:40:22 | |
In this episode, we’re joined by Andrew Genovese, dimensional breathwork guide, inner child + shadow work teacher, and a fierce advocate for inner sovereignty and soul reclamation — for a grounded, no-BS conversation about what spirituality actually is (and what it definitely isn’t). Andrew shares his personal hero’s journey…from years of nomadic travel and existential dread, to a full-blown awakening catalyzed by loss, collapse, and deep surrender. He walks us through the real mechanics of transformation: nervous system capacity, embodiment, and the willingness to face your own darkness instead of hiding behind slogans. We go straight at the modern “spiritual scene” — the robes, the persona, the Love & Light bypassing and why real awakening doesn’t look like anything…except becoming radically, unapologetically yourself. If you’ve ever felt allergic to the performance of spirituality and hungry for something with substance, this episode is your compass.

| Ep 181 - David Whitehead | The Kingdom of Heaven Within | 16 May 2024 | 02:17:18 | |
In this thought-provoking episode, we welcome David Whitehead to explore the intriguing trend of modern individuals reverting to fundamental Christianity.

Some of the topics discussed include: The Allure of Fundamentalism:
Esoteric Christianity and Astrotheology:
Historical Context and Biblical Edits:
Psychology of the Religious Mind:
This discussion leads to the potential pathways for individuals entrenched in fundamentalist beliefs to embrace a more nuanced understanding of spirituality. By revisiting and reinterpreting ancient wisdom, there might be a way to infuse life with greater creativity and inspiration.

Dale is an Australian speaker and co-host of the Sky to Earth Conference that has been driven to make his voice public after years of studying the global cult and their agenda.

Dale has focused on understanding evil and wanting to know the core genesis of this evil. The pursuit of understanding evil has led Dale to the polarity of love through asking the big questions. Who are we? What are we doing here? What is this reality? Where are we going? Topics Discussed in this podcast include: Synthetic vs Organic Reality, AI, Behaviour Predictability and the Transhumanist Agenda, Energy Harvesting, Simulation Theory, Dark and Light Energy, Human Potential and more.

In this special episode we are joined by two legendary truth warriors and two of our most frequented and popular guests who meet for the first time during the recording of this episode. We discuss the nature of what it means to be a Truth Warrior and what qualities we should seek to embody as we pay homage to the giants of the past who paved the way and whose shoulders we now stand upon.
In the second half of the episode we have a balanced debate about whether Donald Trump is a friend or foe, whether his actions and words should be taken at face value or if there is more to consider than what may first appear to be the case.

| Ep 164 - Ian Spellman | A New Paradigm for Science Education | 28 Jan 2024 | 01:28:04 | |
Ian Spellman is a professional educator currently building on 8 years of full time experience to bring what he has learned in traditional classrooms to the growing multitudes of folks who are in the process of decoupling themselves from formal educational institutions. Many freedom-oriented parents have begun questioning the benefits of enrolling their kids in public and even private schools in the wake of scamdemic lockdowns along with the wholesale takeover of academia by radical ideologies hell-bent on warping the minds of children and young adults into as anti-natural a state as possible. In a society where most schools now seem to have a net-negative psychological impact on developing minds, how do we as parents and teachers respond? Please enjoy this episode.

| Ep 270 - Peta Kelly | The Beauty of God’s Design | 23 Nov 2025 | 01:50:30 | |
In this episode, we sit down with Peta Kelly for a raw, deeply human exploration of what it truly means to live in alignment with God’s design. Peta opens up about her upbringing as an eldest daughter in a tough environment, her meteoric rise in the holistic health world, and the long road of shedding the “boss babe” identity to reclaim her femininity, her faith, and her integrity. We explore motherhood without perfectionism, raising resilient children in a fragile culture, letting go of wellness neurosis, and trusting the innate intelligence of the body. With her trademark honesty, humor, and self-awareness, Peta speaks to the beauty, the messiness, and the liberation found in radical self-honesty. This is a conversation about faith, resilience, womanhood, and rediscovering the simplicity and brilliance of God’s design.

| Ep 269 - Dr. Melissa Sell | The First Betrayal of the Child | 16 Nov 2025 | 02:02:50 | |
In this powerful and confronting conversation, Dr. Melissa Sell returns to Here for the Truth for her eighth appearance to explore how modern medical and cultural rituals have severed us from our primal instincts, our intuition, and our innate trust in life. Through the lens of German New Medicine and the Five Biological Laws, we examine how the earliest experiences of infants—from wellness checks to ear piercings to “cry it out” sleep training—can imprint deep patterns of fear, separation, and obedience. This episode is a wake-up call to reclaim our natural intelligence, to see through the conditioning that normalizes harm, and to remember that true health begins with awareness and self-responsibility.

| Ep 141 - Paul Levy | Undreaming Wetiko | 01 Oct 2023 | 01:04:03 | |
Paul Levy is a pioneer in the field of spiritual emergence and a wounded healer in private practice assisting others who are also awakening to the dreamlike nature of reality. He is best known for bringing forth the knowledge of the Native American “mind-virus” known as Wetiko to a wider audience through his 3 books currently published on the subject. In this episode we discuss how this phenomena covertly operates both out in the world and within our minds, how it underlies every form of self-destruction, both individual and collective and how through awareness we can heal it and alchemize it in service of a deeper awakening.
