#422 Set the Captives Free: Tom Snow on Miraculous Healing and Spiritual Sovereignty

Are you feeling spiritually confused, disconnected from God, or questioning the religious traditions you've been taught? In this profound episode of the Sovereign Man Podcast, we welcome Tom Snow, a man whose mission is to help sincere believers navigate the complex spiritual landscape of modern Christianity. Tom shares his incredible journey from a terminal cancer diagnosis at age 15 to a miraculous healing that sparked a 55-year walk with the Lord. We dive deep into the original Greek and Hebrew texts to explore how certain teachings may have led well-intentioned Christians away from biblical truth. Tom discusses the difference between "religiosity" and a genuine relationship with God, the power of yielding to the Holy Spirit, and how to find true freedom from spiritual deception. Whether you're searching for authentic Christianity or looking to deepen your spiritual sovereignty, this conversation will challenge and inspire you.

#421 Is the Government Legally Killing Us? Scott Schara on the Medical-Industrial Complex

Welcome back to the Awakening Podcast. Today, we are joined by a man whose personal tragedy has become a catalyst for a global movement. Scott Schara, the father of Grace Schara, returns to share the profound insights from his new book, Is the Government Legally Killing Us?. Following the landmark jury trial surrounding Grace's death, Scott has dedicated over 4,000 hours to researching the "medical-industrial complex" and the systemic ways our health and freedom are being compromised. In this episode, we discuss the "standard of care" trap, the shocking statistics behind chemotherapy and statins, and the broader agenda of population control. Scott doesn't just point out the darkness; he offers a roadmap for "escaping Babylon" and reclaiming our spiritual and physical sovereignty. This is a must-listen for anyone ready to deprogram from the narratives and protect their loved ones.

#420 Hunting the Invisible Man: Roy Daya on AI, Fraud, and the Truth Hidden in Data

What if the biggest threat to your business—or even your personal sovereignty—wasn't a hacker breaking in from the outside, but a problem hiding in plain sight within your own data? In this eye-opening episode of the Awakening Podcast, we sit down with Roy Daya, a cybersecurity veteran known as "Mr. Wolf" for his ability to solve the most complex data problems. With over 20 years of experience hunting fraud for governments, corporations, and private equity firms, Roy has seen it all. He shares how his AI tool, Prova.ai, uses "Point of View Analytics" to find the subtle patterns and "invisible men" that traditional dashboards miss. From IT insiders siphoning millions to the dangers of AI trained on fake medical data, Roy reveals why data is the ultimate truth-teller and how we can use it to protect ourselves in an increasingly digital world.

#417 Ireland Rises: Farmers, Truckers & How to Protect Yourself with Peter Wilson

Peter Wilson is back and this month we're standing with the Irish farmers, truckers and taxi drivers out on the roads.
 
This week Peter breaks down what's really happening with the Irish protests, why RTE and mainstream media are blacking out the story, and what it means when Guards from the North show up in balaclavas to pepper spray a 14-year-old. We also cover how the Irish Guards themselves called in sick rather than confront their own people  and what that tells you about where this is heading.
 
But this episode is full of solutions. Peter shares exactly what protesters should do if approached by police (say absolutely nothing), how a PMA member just won thousands in compensation from a debt collector using GDPR, and how you can start cutting your energy bills today from as little as £25.

#416 Awakening to the Plastics Truth: Dr. Chris DeArmitt on Science vs. Mythology

The awakening often starts with a single moment of betrayal. For Dr. Chris De Armitt, it was his daughters coming home from school parroting a lie: "All plastic is bad and doesn't degrade." As a materials scientist, he knew this was scientifically false—and he was paying premium taxes for this "education." That anger launched a crusade that would lead him to review over 6,000 studies, write The Plastics Paradox, and found the Plastics Research Council. In this awakening conversation, we explore how we've been systematically misled about everything from microplastics to "biodegradable" bags, why your anxiety about plastic water bottles is literally more dangerous than the bottles themselves, and how to spot the difference between genuine science and billionaire-funded propaganda. If you're ready to question what you've been told about "saving the planet," this is your moment of clarity.
 
Guest: Dr. Chris De ArmittAll Episodes: https://www.awakeningpodcast.orgRoy / Brain Gym & Virtual Assistants: https://roycoughlan.com/
Bio of Dr. Chris De Armitt
Dr. Chris De Armitt (PhD, FRSC, FIMMM, CChem) is one of the world's leading independent experts on plastics, microplastics, and the environment. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, he has worked at the forefront of polymer science with companies including BASF, HP, Apple, and Disney.
He is the founder of Phantom Plastics and the Plastics Research Council, a network of professors and toxicologists dedicated to sharing scientific truth. After reviewing over 6,000 peer-reviewed studies, he authored The Plastics Paradox and Shattering the Plastics Illusion, both available for free.
His work has been featured on CBS 60 Minutes, BBC, Sky News, and The Washington Post. He has advised governments and policymakers worldwide and has never been funded by the plastics industry.

#413 The Secret Rules Courts Don't Want You to Know with Peter Wilson

"What if everything you thought you knew about court judgments was wrong? This week, Peter Wilson returns to expose how debt collectors file claims for just £25 while charging YOU over £300 to respond, why your 'default CCJ' might be completely invalid, and the one document they can NEVER produce that destroys their case entirely. We're diving deep into the 'green book' rules judges actually read, why parking companies admit they 'win by numbers not merit,' and how a simple set of notices can remove a County Court Judgment without stepping into a courtroom. If you've ever received a debt letter, parking ticket, or mysterious CCJ on your credit file—this episode could save you thousands and restore your commercial standing. The system relies on your ignorance. Today, we change that."
