Ensnared: Jac Marino Chen Exposes the Lies of Witchcraft

Episode 378

Wednesday, November 11, 2026 • Duration 01:04:08

Witchcraft is no longer hiding in the shadows. From Disney movies and social media to manifestation, astrology, and New Age spirituality, occult practices are becoming increasingly normalized in mainstream culture. In this episode of Cultish, Jeremiah Roberts sits down with former occultist and author Jac Marino to explore the rise of modern witchcraft, its growing influence on popular culture, and the spiritual deception lurking behind its promises of empowerment, healing, and enlightenment.

Why is witchcraft becoming so appealing in today's culture?

What happens when the pursuit of spiritual power leads deeper into darkness?

Drawing from her experiences with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, ritual magic, spirit guides, and ceremonial invocations, Jac exposes the lies that once held her captive. Together, they unpack the ancient deception behind modern occultism, the dangerous allure of forbidden knowledge, and the false promise of self-salvation. Ultimately, Jac shares how the truth of the gospel shattered the darkness and revealed that genuine freedom and redemption are found in Jesus Christ alone.

Episode 377

Wednesday, October 28, 2026 • Duration 52:59

In this episode of Cultish, evangelist Samuel Torres returns to share his experiences ministering in Mormon Utah. From being detained and handcuffed by LDS security to being barred from speaking with members of the Tabernacle Choir, Samuel recounts the opposition he has encountered. We also examine the fundamental differences between Mormonism and biblical Christianity.

What happens when the biblical gospel confronts Mormonism at Temple Square?

Why would a church claiming to follow Christ seek to silence those proclaiming Him?

Samuel shares how his relationships with Latter-day Saints have opened doors for meaningful conversations despite increasing opposition. We discuss the spiritual realities of evangelism in Utah, the dangers of false doctrine, and the importance of discerning the true Christ from a counterfeit. Ultimately, this conversation points to the sufficiency of Christ and salvation through faith in Him alone.

Inside the Mission Field of Mormonism with Samuel Torres

Episode 376

Wednesday, October 21, 2026 • Duration 52:50

In this episode of Cultish, Andrew sits down with Samuel Torres to discuss his journey from serving in the Air Force to becoming a full-time missionary in Mormon country. Samuel shares how his passion for apologetics and studying Mormonism led his family to Utah. Together, they explore the challenges of evangelizing Latter-day Saints and the importance of grounding apologetics in Scripture.

Why would someone leave behind a military career to evangelize Mormons?

Is atheism itself a form of counterfeit worship?

Andrew and Samuel examine the biblical foundations of evangelism, the dangers of idolatry, and humanity's suppression of the truth. They discuss why philosophical arguments alone cannot replace the proclamation of the gospel. Through Samuel's testimony, this conversation challenges Christians to boldly proclaim Christ in a world of competing beliefs.

Friday, October 16, 2026 • Duration 01:10:47

In this episode of Cultish, Andrew Soncrant and Vocab Malone examine the claims of Islamic apologetics and their contradictions with biblical Christianity.

Was Muhammad really prophesied in the Bible?

Can the Quran withstand scrutiny when compared to the Scriptures it claims to affirm?

The conversation also examines Muhammad's moral character, the authority of the Quran, and controversial Islamic teachings on marriage and adoption. Join us as we dismantle the arguments of Islamic apologetics and defend the truth of Jesus Christ and His Gospel.

Episode 374

Monday, October 12, 2026 • Duration 01:22:38

In this episode of Cultish, we’re joined by Jason Contino to examine controversial passages in the New World Translation and how the Watchtower’s translation choices affect key biblical texts concerning the deity of Jesus Christ.

Did the Watchtower rewrite the Bible to fit its theology?

What happens when we compare the NWT with the original biblical languages?

Jason walks us through passages such as John 1:1 and Colossians 1 to uncover what the text actually says about the identity and deity of Christ.

Neo-Mormon Apologetics with Vocab Malone

Episode 373

Wednesday, October 7, 2026 • Duration 01:04:09

In this episode of Cultish, Andrew sits down with Vocab Malone to examine the rise of “Neo-Mormon” apologetics through Vocab’s recent debates with Jacob Hansen and Hayden Carroll. They discuss how modern LDS apologists approach Joseph Smith, the King Follett Discourse, the Lectures on Faith, the nature of God, and whether these newer arguments are consistent with historic Mormonism.

Has Mormon apologetics fundamentally changed?

Can modern LDS defenders distance themselves from Joseph Smith’s teachings while still claiming his prophetic authority?

Andrew and Vocab also break down the debate over biblical authority, the canon of Scripture, and the LDS demand for an “adjudicating body” to determine what counts as Scripture. Along the way, they contrast a controlled religious text with the transmission of the biblical text and ask whether Mormonism can consistently challenge the Christian canon without first defending its own claims to authority.

Jehovah’s Witnesses: A History of False Prophecies

Episode 372

Wednesday, September 23, 2026 • Duration 01:12:21

In this episode of Cultish, Andrew is joined once again by former Jehovah’s Witness and current pastor Jason Cantino to examine the Watchtower Society’s history of end-times predictions and failed prophecies. From the movement’s roots in the aftermath of the Great Disappointment to the expectations surrounding 1914, 1925, and 1975, they trace how prophetic claims were made, how Jehovah’s Witnesses responded to them, and how those claims were later reinterpreted when the expected events failed to occur. Along the way, they compare these claims with the biblical tests for prophecy found in Deuteronomy and ask what standard should be used when an organization claims to speak on God’s behalf.

What happens when an organization claiming to represent God makes predictions that fail to come true?

Should our ultimate authority rest in a religious organization—or in the Word of God itself?

This conversation is about more than constructing a historical timeline or winning an argument with a Jehovah’s Witness. Andrew and Jason challenge listeners to examine the authority of the Governing Body, consider the real-life consequences these teachings can have, and ultimately turn their attention to Jesus Christ and the biblical gospel. Their stated goal is not to attack Jehovah’s Witnesses personally, but to encourage listeners to test what they have been taught against Scripture and place their faith in Christ rather than an organization.

Jehovah's Witnesses Blood Transfusion Update

Episode 371

Tuesday, September 22, 2026 • Duration 29:18

In this special Cultish news report, we examine the major September 2026 change to the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ blood transfusion policy, which now treats receiving red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma as a matter of personal conscience while continuing to prohibit transfusions of whole blood. Jason joins us to trace the history of the Watch Tower Society’s blood doctrine from its 1945 prohibition through decades of revisions, including the distinction between major blood components and smaller fractions. We also revisit the haunting May 22, 1994 Awake! issue, “Youths Who Put God First,” which featured children who died after refusing blood transfusions and were presented by the organization as examples of faithfulness.

Finally, we ask what this latest change means for Jehovah’s Witnesses today and contrast the organization’s evolving policies with the Christian hope of forgiveness, eternal life, and the finished sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Infiltrating Eastern Lightning Cult with Mitch Cunico

Episode 370

Wednesday, September 16, 2026 • Duration 01:09:47

What happens when a former cult member goes undercover inside another cult? In this episode of Cultish, Mitch from Cult Audit takes us inside his infiltration of Eastern Lightning, also known as the Church of Almighty God—a secretive movement that claims Jesus Christ has returned in the flesh as a Chinese woman.

How does Eastern Lightning recruit unsuspecting Christians through social media and online Bible studies? And what happens when you work your way deep enough into the organization to gain their trust?

Mitch shares how he moved through their training, became a host, attended their house churches, and eventually traveled to New York to visit their church and obtain internal materials. He also exposes their teachings about “Almighty God,” their rejection of the Bible as the final authority, and the intense emphasis they place on duties, obedience, and salvation through the words of their supposed female Christ.

Join us as we go inside one of the most secretive cult movements we’ve ever covered on Cultish.

Ep 2 | Church of the Firstborn: What Do They Really Believe?

Episode 369

Wednesday, September 9, 2026 • Duration 01:32:30

In part two of our conversation on the Church of the Firstborn, we examine the doctrines and beliefs that shape this controversial religious movement. From salvation through obedience to claims of being the true church, we compare their teachings with the biblical gospel.

What does the Church of the Firstborn really believe?
And how do their teachings compare to biblical Christianity?

We also explore the fear surrounding medical treatment, the influence of church authority, and the belief that suffering can become evidence of faithfulness. Former elder Ron explains how these teachings affected members and why he ultimately came to see the finished work of Christ and salvation by grace so differently.
