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.

Join us as we explore the origins of Kabbalah, its place in Jewish history, and its connection to the rise of modern anti-Semitism. What exactly is Kabbalah, and how is it connected to both Judaism and mysticism? Can a deeper understanding of anti-Semitism throughout Christian history help explain why so many individuals are drawn to the practice of Kabbalah? Tune in to find out!

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. Steve brings clarity and discernment to the conversation—and you can check out more of his work at ⁨@ExposingtheCults⁩.

What happens when a fringe religious group claims to be the fulfillment of every major religious prophecy—from Islam and Christianity to Buddhism and Zoroastrianism? In this episode, we’re joined by James Rayment of the Al-Ma’idah Initiative to explore the strange and rapidly growing movement known as the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light. What draws people into a belief system that reinterprets ancient scriptures to point to a modern-day messiah? How do we discern between genuine religious conviction and dangerous deception? Join us as we uncover the theology, tactics, and troubling trends behind the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light—and why its influence may be more widespread than you think.

In this episode, I speak with John Collins of the William Branham Historical Research Society to explore the dark legacy of the Golden Dawn Tabernacle—a secretive cult rooted in Tucson with ties to Branham’s teachings. What draws people into groups like this—and what keeps them there? How do these movements continue to thrive in plain sight? Tune in to find out!

In this episode of Cultish, I’m joined by Aaron Shafovaloff of Mormon Research Ministry and Skyler Hamilton of Distinctive Christianity and the three of us take a closer look at Blake Ostler, a fringe Mormon philosopher whose theological speculations are causing waves—even within the LDS community. Ostler’s views on the nature of God, eternal progression, and the atonement don’t just stretch the boundaries of Mormonism—they outright reject foundational teachings of mainstream Mormonism. What happens when a philosopher tries to rebuild Mormon theology from the ground up? Join us as we expose the deeper issues behind Ostler’s reimagined LDS framework. We break down why his ideas are gaining traction with Neo-Mormons and how they reveal a growing fracture within Mormon thought. Could Ostler’s theology be paving the way for an entirely new form of Neo-Mormon spirituality? Tune in to find out!

In this episode of Cultish, we’re joined by R.L. Solberg — theologian, apologist, and author of The Law, the Christ, the Promise — to dive into the growing influence of Progressive Christianity, the Hebrew Roots Movement, and modern Fundamentalism. What happens when movements either add to or subtract from the finished work of Christ? How can we recognize when the Gospel is being distorted? We explore how these movements twist the true message of salvation and how Paul’s letter to the Galatians offers a powerful defense against both legalism and lawlessness. R.L. also shares insights from his new verse-by-verse apologetics study through Galatians, equipping believers to stand firm in the freedom of Christ.

Join us for the first part of our long-awaited series on The Masonic Lodge. Our guest, Chris, is a former Third Degree Master Mason from the Blue Lodge in Alabama.

Join us for the final part of our conversation with Myles from Answering Adventism as we take an extended look at 'The Investigative Judgment.'

Join us for this much-needed follow-up on Seventh-day Adventism. While our initial series focused on the history of Ellen G. White and the late Dr. Walter Martin’s interactions with SDA leadership when he wrote Kingdom of the Cults, this will be a theological examination of Seventh-day Adventism and its claims. Is Seventh-day Adventism a non-Christian cult or just a misunderstood denomination? Our guest, Myles, is a former third-generation Adventist who runs the popular channel Answering Adventism and will be examining its theological claims by way of its primary sources to see if it passes the sniff test of orthodoxy. In Part 1, we chat with Myles about what it was like growing up in the SDA church, what caused him to eventually leave, and the complexities of navigating the language barrier when it comes to Adventism.

Join us for this fascinating and in-depth conversation with Melissa Dougherty on a spiritual element of the transgender movement many have overlooked. We never expected to have an episode on this topic, but after reading Chapter 5 of Melissa’s new book, Happy Lies, we realized that her perspective on this controversial issue was long overdue. Although discussions surrounding this topic have been divisive and polarizing, most have remained at a surface level, failing to examine the underlying worldview fueling this movement—namely, New Thought. What exactly is New Thought, and how is it related to modern transgender ideology? Why is there such an insistence on affirming its truth and validating new gender identities among those who adhere to this worldview? Tune in to find out!

In Part 6, we welcome back our guest, James Rayment, as we bring the series full circle—connecting everything we've learned for effective evangelism. We wrap up by tackling pressing issues such as Hamas, the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the impact of mass Muslim migration to America. This powerful conclusion is one you won’t want to miss!
