If I Told You...Would You Believe Me?

If I Told You is the first-ever spiritual true crime podcast, exploring the hidden and often unbelievable stories of abuse, betrayal, and survival. Each episode uncovers the dark realities of covert abuse—within families, communities, and systems—while delving into the spiritual battles that often accompany these struggles.From untold survivor accounts to the failures of the institutions meant to protect them, If I Told You dares to ask the uncomfortable questions: How do you fight a crime that hides in the shadows? What happens when the evidence is spiritual, and the system only sees the physical? And if someone told you their story, would you believe them?Blending raw storytelling with a thought-provoking look at the intersections of faith, intuition, and justice, If I Told You offers a platform for the silenced, the doubted, and the survivors who refuse to be ignored. This is more than true crime—it’s a revelation

    S2E5 | Destiny Swap Part 2

    What if your life didn’t just “go off track” — but was quietly redirected?After returning home, Elle begins noticing patterns she can’t ignore: strange encounters, blocked paths, shifting roles, and moments that feel staged rather than random. In trying to make sense of it, two unsettling ideas surface — destiny swapping and organized harassment.These aren’t everyday terms. They sit in the space between spiritual warfare, psychological pressure, and real-world manipulation — where confusion, isolation, and subtle redirection can slowly reshape a person’s path.This episode explores what it’s like to live through something that sounds unreal… but feels like it changed everything.If you’ve ever felt your life veer in ways you couldn’t explain — this conversation might hit close to home.

    S2E4 | Terror (Tarot) Attack

    Season 2, Episode 4 — Terror (Tarot) AttackStill in South Africa, the terrain continues to shift.What once felt confusing now begins to clarify—and the clarity is unsettling.In this episode, Elle becomes aware that one of the attacks against her is not just psychological, emotional, or relational—but spiritual in a way she had never encountered before. Through her son’s realization, a new layer is revealed: the use of tarot, divination, and unclean spiritual practices as weapons.This is unfamiliar ground. Elle had never engaged with tarot. Never sought it. Never studied it. And yet—it was being used against her.So what do you do when the attack isn’t coming through people alone, but through spiritual doors you didn’t open? What happens when warfare takes the form of divination, mixture, and counterfeit insight?This episode wrestles with hard questions:How does the enemy use “spiritual” tools to distort truth?What does Scripture say about divination and unclean spirits?And how do believers remain clean before the Father when confronted with accursed practices they never consented to?As the layers peel back, it becomes clear that this season is not just about survival—but about discernment, purity, and learning how to contend without becoming contaminated.The battle is no longer hidden. And the cost of not seeing it is becoming undeniable.

    S2E3 | Destiny Swap Part 1

    Season 2, Episode 3 — Destiny Swap — Part I | Spells, Access, and AttachmentBy the end of last episode, the coincidences stopped holding.In this chapter, Elle begins tracing the invisible threads beneath a series of engineered encounters—connections that lingered longer than they should have, attachments that defied logic, and relationships that refused to release even when distance should have broken them.What starts as confusion slowly sharpens into pattern recognition.This episode explores the role of love spells—not as fantasy or romance, but as a form of coercive control. A method of creating emotional attachment without consent. A way to maintain access long after proximity ends. And a tool often used to disguise manipulation as choice.But attachment alone isn’t the whole story.Because before someone can be bound, they must first be reached.As Elle looks back, a harder question emerges: How were these people finding her in the first place? And why did every thread seem to lead back to the same point of access?This is Part I of a two-part arc on destiny swaps—where proximity, information, and spiritual coercion collide—and where what looked like chemistry begins to resemble assignment.If you’ve ever blamed yourself for staying attached to someone you knew was harmful… If you’ve ever wondered why certain connections felt engineered rather than organic… This episode is for you.Listener note: This episode discusses manipulation, coercive control, and assault-adjacent themes. Please listen with care.

    S2E2 | They Were Sent

    Season 2, Episode 2 — They Were SentAfter leaving the apartment with nothing but obedience and instinct, Elle enters a new phase of the battle—one she didn’t yet have language for.In the aftermath of the custody ruling and the sudden departure from a place that no longer felt safe, the terrain shifts again. What began as grief over her children is now compounded by a growing awareness that she may not be alone in her suffering—or her movement.As Elle resettles, patterns begin to emerge. Certain men. Certain conversations. Subtle pressures that feel coordinated rather than coincidental. And a haunting question starts to take shape: Were these encounters random… or were they sent?They Were Sent explores what happens when spiritual warfare no longer looks like open opposition—but like proximity. When danger doesn’t announce itself as danger. When discernment must operate without confirmation, clarity, or time.This episode is about recognizing a shifting battlefield. A new arena. And the cost of waking up to it.As the grief of separation collides with a deeper, more unsettling awareness, Elle begins to understand that the fight she thought she was in is no longer the fight she’s facing.And the clock is still turning.

    S2E1 | Eat. Pray. Run.

    What happens after the ruling—when the dust settles, the courtroom goes quiet, and your children are suddenly gone?Season 2 opens in the aftermath.In this episode, Elle takes listeners into the disorienting weeks following the custody decision—the moment when survival replaces certainty, and faith no longer feels familiar. As the appeal process stalls and daily life loses its shape, Elle begins to sense that something deeper is happening: not just grief, not just injustice—but a shift in terrain.Through fasting, prayer, fractured family dynamics, and a haunting metaphor drawn from The Hunger Games, this episode introduces the central framework for Season 2: the clock arena. The ground looks familiar, but the threat has changed. And if you don’t recognize the shift, you don’t survive it.As legal options narrow and emotional exhaustion sets in, a decision emerges—one that sounds reasonable, even wise. A trip to South Africa. Space to breathe. Time to wait.But looking back, Elle names it for what it was: a diversion point.Eat. Pray. Run. is not the story of a woman escaping her life. It’s the story of how battles reconfigure. How detours are engineered. And how sometimes the most dangerous moment isn’t when the fight begins— but when the clock turns, and you don’t realize it yet.This episode sets the stage for everything that follows.

    Weapon 3: Bloodlines | Weapons + Warnings | S2 Pre-Series

    Title: Weapon #3: Bloodlines | Sons and Daughters of the Occult | Weapons + Warnings | S2 Pre-SeriesDescription: This episode is one many won’t touch—pastors avoid it, families deny it, and entire bloodlines go silent when it’s mentioned. Elle delivers a prophetic, urgent message for sons and daughters of occultists and secret-order members.You may have been born into battles you never chose, bound by covenants you never signed. Protection, privilege, and opportunities you thought were “grace” may actually be the covering of the gods your parents served.In this episode, we explore:How ancestral covenants and secret oaths impact children of occultists.Ways the enemy positions sons and daughters as weapons—even without their consent.How family traditions, meals, gifts, and trips can function as hidden initiations.Scriptural examples of renouncing inherited covenants, from Gideon to Paul.The urgent call to renounce, break alignment, and step into freedom before judgment falls.This is not condemnation. This is mercy. This is a warning. This is your invitation to walk free from what you were born into.Come out. Renounce. Walk free.

    Weapon 2: Cowards | Weapons + Warnings | S2 Pre-Series

    Weapon 2: Cowardice — When Silence Becomes a CurseIn this explosive second episode of Weapons & Warnings, Elle exposes one of the enemy’s most subtle weapons: cowardice. Not the Hollywood version— but the generational, spiritual, occult-enabled cowardice that destroys homes from the inside out.This episode unveils the true story of Micah—a man who never joined the occult, but whose silence became its greatest ally. A man who built an entire life on avoidance while darkness moved freely through his family bloodline. A man who remarried late in life, hiding a trail of tragedy behind him…and believing God would bless what he refused to confront.But Heaven has a verdict. And silence has a cost.Elle unpacks: • How cowardly men and women become gateways for generational destruction • Why silence in the face of evil equals agreement • How occultic families weaponize intimidation to keep the truth buried • The prophetic consequences for those who protect altars instead of their families • Why God always moves on behalf of the oppressed—especially the ones whose stories were buriedThis episode is raw, direct, and spiritually confrontational. A warning. A wake-up call. And a prophetic declaration that Heaven does not ignore the cries of the innocent.

    Weapon 1: Betrayal | Weapons + Warnings | S2 Pre-Series

    If I Told You Podcast returns with a prelude to Season 2 in a powerful micro-series, Weapons & Warnings—a prophetic exposé on the strategies the enemy uses to infiltrate and destroy families, faith, and entire bloodlines from within.Weapon #1: Betrayal pulls back the veil on one of the most devastating tactics of spiritual warfare: when the enemy uses you as the weapon against the very people you were assigned to love, cover, or protect.With raw honesty and prophetic clarity, Elle unpacks:How betrayal becomes a spiritual weaponWhy the enemy targets relationships, loyalty, and trustHow occultic influence, generational patterns, and spiritual blindness make betrayal possibleHer story continues, and this episode is both a warning for the spiritually unaware and a weapon for the spiritually awakened.Elle issues a clear call to repentance—confronting the cowardice, silence, and complicity that Scripture says God detests. If you’ve ever ignored abuse, shielded the guilty, believed lies about the innocent, or stayed silent when God required you to stand—this message is for you.Prepare your heart. Open your eyes. This is not entertainment— this is a caution, a correction, and a spiritual alarm.

    Episode 6: Kidnapped in Plain Sight

    What happens when the battle for your children isn't just legal—it's spiritual? In this season finale of If I Told You, Elle pulls back the veil on her personal war with a system that looks ordinary on the surface—but is deeply rooted in darkness beneath.From strange symptoms in her children, to dreams, court rulings, and the eerie fingerprints of Freemasonry and ritual abuse—this is more than a custody case. This is a story of spiritual entanglement, diabolical pacts, and how silence in the face of evil becomes complicity.She shares how the backlash wasn't just emotional—it was spiritual warfare that left her fighting to hold on to her children and her sanity. And then, a word of knowledge during a global prayer service connected the dots she never could’ve seen on her own.If you’ve ever wondered how abuse hides in plain sight—or how spiritual manipulation works through family, courts, and even churches—this episode will shake you.⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains sensitive content related to child abuse, spiritual warfare, and ritual trauma.

    Episode 5: Lavender Marriages

    Named as Episode 4 Extended in the episode.What happens when a marriage is just a cover? In this episode of If I Told You, we dive into the hidden world of lavender marriages—unions designed to mask identity, protect status, and uphold reputations at the cost of truth and intimacy. These aren’t just stories from Hollywood’s golden age or whispered rumors in religious circles—they’re real, modern-day agreements that often leave one partner confused, spiritually wounded, and emotionally abandoned. We explore how secrecy, sexual grooming, and spiritual manipulation collide in relationships where the truth was never part of the vows. This is not just about sexuality—it’s about deception, control, and the deep psychological toll of living inside a lie. You won’t hear this in church.

    Episode 4: Unmasking Evil

    In this raw and revealing episode of If I Told You, Elle takes you back to the moment the mask began to crack. What started as confusion in a once-loving relationship spiraled into something far more sinister—covert narcissism, deep spiritual manipulation, and an encounter with the occult that would shatter everything she thought she knew. But it wasn’t just emotional or spiritual—it was physical. A car crash marked the beginning of her awakening. Was it an accident… or something more? This episode is the start of uncovering how dark the truth really goes.URL: https://ifitoldyou.studio/podcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@IfIToldYouPodcastDonate: https://givebutter.com/wVcPgrHave a Question? wisio.com/IfIToldYouShow

    Episode 3: Cover-Up, Part 2

    They say there is a method to madness—but what if that method is deliberately designed to erase truth, silence victims, and protect abusers?In third episode of If I Told You, "Coverup, Continued" we continue the harrowing story of a mother uncovering the hidden machinery of injustice that operates in cases of child abuse. What began as a custody battle fueled by an angry ex soon revealed something far more sinister: a system designed not just to suppress allegations of abuse but to erase them entirely.Through counterfeit court hearings, coercive hypnosis, and manipulated home visits, we expose the chilling tactics used to discredit protective parents, gaslight survivors, and keep abuse hidden in plain sight. These aren’t just isolated incidents—they’re calculated methods employed to ensure victims are forgotten, even by themselves.But how do you fight a battle when the very system meant to protect your child is working against you? How do you get both the public and the legal system to believe the unbelievable? This episode pulls back the curtain on the dark network of enablers protecting abusers and asks the urgent question: What happens when those who should protect, conspire instead?URL: https://ifitoldyou.studio/podcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@IfIToldYouPodcastDonate: https://givebutter.com/wVcPgrHave a Question? wisio.com/IfIToldYouShow
