We are joined again this week by Steve Matthews from Exposing the Cults to take another look into the world of Burning Man and Transformational Festivals.
Our guest has attended Burning Man and has studied, written on, and has spoken about this growing phenomenon for several years now, and brings us years of his thinking and analysis on this subject in this episode.
Matthews likes to point out that, "Young people today are not rushing out and joing groups like the Jehovah's Witnesses these days. Instead, they are pursuing other spiritual paths like Burning Man and other similar Transformational Festivals.
Everything is changing now to new forms of spirituality in our culture."
In this episode we delve into the hard to explain nature of these festivals and describes what goes on at them, as well as uncover the true history of Burning Man and then give a critical response to the emerging Pagan worldview behind Transformational Festival culture.

In this episode of Cultish, Andrew Soncrant sits down with Colin Samul to discuss Joe Rogan's most recent episode with Representative Anna Paulina Luna on Alien Revelations & the UFO Phenomena. We discuss Remote Viewing, its connection to alien entities, and the occult roots behind these practices. From military programs to New Age spirituality, we explore how these experiences lure people with promises of hidden knowledge. Are alien encounters and psychic abilities just harmless curiosities—or are they spiritual deceptions rooted in the occult? How should Christians discern and respond to these claims? Colin helps unpack the counterfeit nature of these practices and points us back to the true source of wisdom and freedom found in Christ.Partner With Us: HERE Wess Huff on Ethiopian Bible and Book of Enoch: HEREColin Samul Cultish Alien Revelations Series: HERE

In this episode of Cultish, we sit down with researcher and author Carl Teichrib to explore the spiritual revolution unfolding in the heart of the psychedelic renaissance. From the stages of Psychedelic Science 2025 to the language of “entheogens,” we unpack how science and mysticism are merging to create a new global belief system—one that aims to replace traditional religion with a chemically-induced inner divinity. Are psychedelics truly neutral tools for healing, or are they sacraments of a rising, gnostic worldview? What are the global implications of this spiritual transformation, and why should Christians pay attention? Tune in as we expose the psychedelic agenda of the world—and what it means for the future of faith and truth.Partner With Us: HERE Buy Carl's book Game of Gods HERECarl's Substack HERE

After tracing Kabbalah’s evolution from ancient mystery religions, Greek paganism, and gnostic mysticism, we now ask: how should Christians respond?Is Kabbalah simply another spiritual path—or a dangerous distortion of biblical truth? What does the gospel of Jesus Christ offer that Kabbalah never can?Brian Crawford and Will Spencer return to help us confront the theological errors of Kabbalah and equip believers to stand firm in the truth of Scripture.Partner With Us: HERE Purchase: The Scandal of a Divine Messiah Brian's Website: HEREWill Spencer's Website and Podcast: HERE

There needs to be more discussion about the rhetoric and ideology that leads to this degree of radicalization. A movement that equates words with violence, distorts mere disagreement into pure evil, & dehumanizes anyone outside of their movement has laid the foundation for violence, totalitarianism, & injustice. under no other circumstances would so many justify and encourage evil in the name of virtue.
This episode is a disgrace. You are supposedly theonomists but you let these men trash the bride of Christ for 2 hours, literally saying it is CHRISTIAN'S FAULT unbelieveing Jews are radical leftists that want to destroy the West. ya'll said nothing. Shameful.
I adamantly disagree with the major outlet if antisemitism is coming from the right. it comes from the left . The protest and attack are coming from the left. Communism killed more bees than anyone else
I don't trust anyone wearing those goofy hats. hard pass.

this whole episode was very dishonest and not helpful. I know many king James only people, they aren't stupid or cult-like. they never make it an issue of salvation. this condescending response won't win them over to your pov. I recommend inviting the best most rational loving pro king James only expert on to your podcast to make their case. David w. Daniels perhaps? do better please.
I thought Mormonism and masonry shared many connotations also.
when someone tried to push Mormonism I immediately thought of free masonry also
what about Hunter Biden ?
...what are you going on about? weird.
so cringe. mostly ranting about nonsense irrelevant to the recent tour.
man the level of repetition and commercials... turning into its own cult after all
I can't take this guy talking about MLMs seriously. It's a bad witness! To b3 successful you have to prey on countless people and convince them to spend money you know they're not going to earn back.
no clue who the people in the cover pic are...
Who is this dude? He didn't even know Vladimir Putins age. I don't even like Orthodoxy but this dude mischaracterized alot and lumped all of them in with the worst radicals in the groups. He made this issue sound completely one sided even though it's most certainly not. Easily the worst guest I've ever seen, even the way he said "they were filled with hate" screamed uncritical thinking leftist.
this is a sadly narrow minded and historically inaccurate representation of the Orthodox Church. incredibly disappointing to hear this guest after having so many reputable guests. i may unsubscribe because im so surprised you'd have a guest with such little credibility.
Andrew, love ya both, but you should be the main host of this show. I greatly appreciate how well spoken you are and how you always ground your points and questions in a clear Gospel presentation and Scripture.
a grief... "ritual" lol how ironic.
I would love to hear more on the vibration therapy and the singing bowls and frequency therapy used in these practices. I recently learned about the frequency that linen or organic cotton gives off and the health benefits they have but how they counteract one another if blended. Then, I read God's instructions in Deuteronomy not to mix the two fabrics. I wondered if this was God revealing this benefit to us but then the new age actually did take that over. Would love to hear more thoughts on this. Thank you for such a great podcast, it's one of my faves.
