Cultish

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

In the final installment of our series on Kabbalah, we shift from exposing its occultic origins to offering a robust Christian apologetic response. 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

Join us as we uncover the hidden roots of Kabbalah, tracing its development from Greek gnostic paganism to its entanglement with hermetic occult thought and how Kaballah truly is a resurfacing of syncretistic ancient mystery religions.What is Kabbalah really—and how did it evolve from mystical Judaism into a system embraced by both spiritual seekers and conspiracy theorists?Our guests are Brian Crawford, author of The Scandal of a Divine Messiah, and returning guest Will Spencer help us unravel the Occultic Origins of the Kaballah.Partner With Us: HERE Purchase: The Scandal of a Divine Messiah Brian's Website: HEREWill Spencer's Website and Podcast: HERE

Join us as we respond to a recent episode of the Soul Boom podcast, featuring The Office star and devoted Baha’i, Rainn Wilson, alongside YouTube icons Rhett & Link who've been very candid about their deconstruction journey away from historic Christianity. So how does a committed Baha’i like Rainn Wilson interpret their spiritual unraveling? And is there a faithful, thoughtful way to respond from a biblical worldview? Tune in as we explore these questions with our good friend Steve Matthews.
