| Ensnared: Jac Marino Chen Exposes the Lies of Witchcraft | 11 Nov 2026 | 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.

| The Gospel They Don't Want You to Hear: Evangelism in Mormon Utah | 28 Oct 2026 | 00:52:59 | |
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. Be Part of the Mission to Change Lives: HERE SHOP OUR MERCH: HERE Sam’s Socials! | |||
| Inside the Mission Field of Mormonism with Samuel Torres | 21 Oct 2026 | 00:52:50 | |
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.

| Defending Christ Against Islam: Apologetics with Vocab Malone | 16 Oct 2026 | 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. Drawing from recent debates with Muslim apologists, Vocab challenges the claim that Muhammad was prophesied in Scripture and exposes the theological problems with Islamic interpretations of the Bible. 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.

| Did the Watchtower Rewrite the Bible? Examining the Deity of Christ in the NWT | 12 Oct 2026 | 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 | 07 Oct 2026 | 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 | 23 Sep 2026 | 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 | 22 Sep 2026 | 00:29:18 | |
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 | 16 Sep 2026 | 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? | 09 Sep 2026 | 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? 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.

| Inside the Church of the Firstborn: A Former Elder Speaks Out | 02 Sep 2026 | 01:22:09 | |
In this episode of Cultish, we sit down with Ron, a former elder in the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn. For nearly two decades, Ron was deeply involved in a group that taught it was the only true church going to heaven. He eventually became a preacher, church planter, and ordained elder before beginning to question what he had been taught. What happens when your church teaches that salvation exists only within its walls? What happens when faith means rejecting doctors and medicine? And what does it cost to walk away when your entire community is tied to the church? Ron shares how the gospel of grace began to unravel the works-based system he had trusted for years. He opens up about the painful process of leaving, losing relationships, and discovering what it meant to follow Christ outside the Church of the Firstborn. This is Part 1 of Ron’s journey out of a little-known religious group with deep roots and startling beliefs.

| The New Church Exposed: The Strange Theology of Emanuel Swedenborg | 26 Aug 2026 | 01:12:13 | |
In this episode of Cultish, Andrew sits down with Ian Rose, a former member of The New Church, to explore the strange theology of Emanuel Swedenborg and the teachings that shaped Ian’s life. Ian explains how Swedenborg’s alleged revelations became foundational to the New Church, including its “internal sense” of Scripture, rejection of key biblical doctrines, works-based view of salvation, and unusual beliefs about heaven, angels, and the afterlife. Most importantly, Ian shares how encountering the biblical gospel—salvation through Christ alone rather than his own works—ultimately led him out of the New Church and radically changed his understanding of Jesus, Scripture, and salvation.

| Jim Jones Revisited | 19 Aug 2026 | 00:48:44 | |
In this episode of Cultish, Jerry and Andrew revisit the disturbing story of Jim Jones and the tragedy of the Peoples Temple. But rather than simply retelling the events of Jonestown, we dig deeper into the worldview that shaped Jones, including the influence of New Thought and its ideas about God, humanity, and the power of the mind. How did these spiritual ideas intersect with Jones’ increasingly radical political ideology and his demand for absolute loyalty? We also examine Jones’ rhetoric surrounding “revolutionary suicide” and play chilling archival testimony from Peoples Temple members who professed their willingness to die for the cause. What happens when spiritual deception, political revolution, and devotion to a charismatic leader become intertwined? Join us as we revisit Jim Jones and explore the beliefs behind one of the most infamous cult tragedies in modern history. Be Part of the Mission to Change Lives: HERE SHOP OUR MERCH: HERE | |||
| Dismantling Hayden Carroll's Poor Apologetic | 14 Aug 2026 | 01:49:17 | |
In this episode of Cultish, the Super Sleuth sits down with Craig to examine a recent video in which Hayden Carroll critiques Reformed theology. Together, they analyze his arguments, address several misrepresentations of Reformed doctrine, and explain what Reformed theology actually teaches. Rather than responding with emotion, this episode seeks to offer a careful, biblical, and charitable critique while presenting the historic Reformed position in its proper context. As Christians, we have a responsibility to represent the beliefs of those we disagree with accurately before offering criticism. Throughout this discussion, we demonstrate where Hayden's presentation falls short of that standard. Whether those inaccuracies stem from a misunderstanding of Reformed theology or a failure to engage with it carefully, listeners can judge for themselves as we examine the claims one by one.

| The Odyssey: Did Christopher Nolan Get Homer Wrong? | 12 Aug 2026 | 01:14:13 | |
With Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey bringing Homer’s ancient epic back into the spotlight, Cultish sits down with Professor Owen Anderson to explore what lies beneath the gods, monsters, and legendary hero’s journey. From the polytheistic world of Homer to the deeper spiritual ideas that have shaped Western storytelling, the conversation asks whether Nolan is simply adapting a pagan classic—or transforming it into something very different. What if Odysseus’ greatest enemy isn’t Poseidon, the Cyclops, or the journey home—but his own sin? And what if this ancient pagan story ultimately points toward something the Greek gods could never provide: redemption? The conversation explores the striking contrast between the traditional pagan hero’s journey and what Professor Anderson describes as a distinctly Christian arc of sin, confession, sacrifice, and redemption. Along the way, the episode examines Greek mythology, the biblical worldview, the spiritual reality behind pagan gods, and the enduring influence Christianity has had on the way the Western world understands stories like The Odyssey.

In this episode of Cultish, Andrew Soncrant is joined once again by former Mormon and Reformed Baptist pastor Braden Patterson to respond to a popular LDS video challenging Protestant Christianity. Together they tackle four foundational questions often raised by Mormon apologists: • Who has the authority to interpret Scripture? Drawing from Scripture, church history, and Braden's firsthand experience growing up in Mormonism, this conversation examines the differences between historic Christianity and the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Along the way, Andrew and Braden discuss the sufficiency of Scripture, assurance of salvation, the Gospel of grace, the nature of true authority, and the Mormon claim of a "restoration" of the church. If you've ever wondered how Christians should respond to common Mormon objections—or if you're a Latter-day Saint honestly exploring these questions for yourself—this episode is for you.

Along the way, he discusses Mormon culture, the burden of works-based righteousness, the search for truth, and the grace of God that ultimately opened his eyes to the biblical Gospel.

| Part 2 | La Luz Del Mundo: Investigating the Apostles of Darkness | 25 Feb 2026 | 00:59:01 | |
In Part 2 of this deep-dive investigation, Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew “Super Sleuth” Soncrant continue their examination of La Luz del Mundo (“Light of the World”) by moving beyond history into the movement’s theology and Christology. Joined again by researcher and author Luis Carlos Reyes @Mopar440HP team unpacks the doctrinal framework that sustains one of the largest and most controversial apostle-centered movements in the world. This episode carefully analyzes La Luz del Mundo’s rejection of historic Trinitarianism, its Oneness-influenced understanding of God, and its redefinition of the person and work of Jesus Christ. What does LLDM actually teach about the incarnation? How do they interpret the Son of God? And how does their theology position the “living apostle” as the necessary mediator of salvation in the present age? The discussion exposes how LLDM’s doctrine of “election” reshapes the Gospel itself—placing apostolic authority functionally above Scripture and reframing salvation as loyalty to a man rather than faith in Christ alone. Jeremiah, Andrew, and Luis contrast these teachings with historic Christian orthodoxy, highlighting the theological fault lines that separate LLDM from biblical Christianity.

| La Luz Del Mundo: Investigating the Apostles of Darkness | 18 Feb 2026 | 01:06:55 | |
In this episode, Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew “Super Sleuth” Soncrant kick off a two-part investigation into La Luz del Mundo (“Light of the World”)—one of the largest, most influential high-control religious movements most English audiences have barely heard of. Joined by researcher and author Luis Carlos Reyes, the team traces La Luz del Mundo’s roots through early Oneness Pentecostal streams, prophetic offshoots, and the formation of its apostle-centered system—where loyalty to a “living apostle” becomes the gate to salvation. Luis shares firsthand experiences from inside the movement’s stronghold, explains how authority is enforced through control and intimidation, and unpacks the doctrine of “election” that elevates the apostle above Scripture and beyond accountability. Along the way, they explore the movement’s communal structure, alleged corruption, and the chilling psychological grip that keeps members trapped—often even in the face of abuse.

| The Evil Influencer: The Jodi Hildebrandt Story - Cultish Response | 06 Jan 2026 | 01:15:12 | |
In this episode of Cultish, Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant respond to Netflix’s The Evil Influencer: The Jodi Hildebrandt Story. They examine how Mormonism’s emphasis of personal revelation can become a breeding ground for cult leaders who claim to “hear from God,” and how institutional trust plays a role—highlighting the fact that Jodi Hildebrandt was listed as an approved therapist by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This episode explores the dangerous mix of spiritual authority, therapeutic language, and unchecked influence—and why discernment matters. What happens when personal “revelation” overrides accountability? How should Christians evaluate spiritual authority claims made by therapists, influencers, or church-approved leaders?Partner With Us & Be Part of the Mission to Change Lives: HERE SHOP OUR MERCH: HERE Please consider subscribing to our YouTube Channel: CultishTV.com Cultish is a 100% crowdfunded ministry. | |||
