The Story

obe unknown mixed Significant Transformation 7/10 Intensity

Chad McDonald experienced a near-death experience triggered by a supernatural attack while he was asleep. He saw a black entity, which he identified as a demon, trying to suffocate his wife. This event made him realize the spiritual warfare happening in the unseen realm. After this experience, he felt convicted about his life choices and began to pursue a relationship with God. He transitioned from a military career to preaching the gospel. Chad now travels and shares his message about spiritual warfare, emphasizing the importance of understanding the supernatural realm and its impact on people's lives.
