About this listen

Welcome to The Cul✞ure Cast!

There’s a war on truth, and culture is the battleground.

From the rise of New Age deception to the subtle ways media, politics, and entertainment manipulate belief systems, the enemy is shaping narratives to pull people away from God. The Cul✞ure Cast is here to investigate, expose, and report on how today’s biggest cultural movements are influencing the masses—and what it means for believers who refuse to be deceived.

Through deep dives, real conversations, and uncompromising biblical analysis, we uncover the tactics being used to distort truth, normalize deception, and condition society to accept a counterfeit version of spirituality. This isn’t just another faith-based podcast—it’s a wake-up call.

If you’re ready to challenge the mainstream, question everything, and stand firm in God’s truth, subscribe now. The lies are everywhere. Let’s break them down—one episode at a time.

    #18 - Is Hell Full of Christians Who Never Met Jesus?
    Sep 5 2025
    There’s a demon on the pulpit and in the pews. Too many Christians are partnering with it. In this piercing episode, Leah exposes the spirit of religion—the same spirit that crucified Christ and now masquerades as holiness in churches across every denomination. It hides behind good behavior, memorized scripture, and polished theology. But it kills intimacy with God and keeps people from ever encountering Jesus. This is why the Church is full of people who know Bible verses but have never met the Author. It’s why pastors preach about freedom while resisting deliverance. It’s why some of you still feel stuck even though you left the New Age. The enemy doesn’t care if you go to church, so long as you never actually get free.This episode breaks down how the spirit of religion infiltrates the Church, deceives believers, and keeps Christians from true deliverance and encounter. "The enemy loves it when Christians become the barrier to Christ." – Leah Steele 🔍 Key Takeaways What the spirit of religion actually is and why it’s demonicHow it hides in doctrine, tradition, and even “spirit-filled” churchesThe difference between knowing about God and actually knowing HimHow religious spirits transfer from New Age bondage into church cultureWhy discernment is a survival skill in the last days 📖 Featured Scriptures Matthew 7:21–23“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’” This is the warning to every person performing for God without truly knowing Him. Religious works won’t save you. Proximity to church doesn’t mean intimacy with Christ. If you don’t know Him, He will not claim you. 📣 Resources & Connect 🕊️ Join the Faithful Exiles Messenger CommunityRecently left the New Age or feeling the pull out?

  • #17 - The False Jesus Movement: When Kingdom Influencers Still Serve Satan

    #17 - The False Jesus Movement: When Kingdom Influencers Still Serve Satan
    Aug 24 2025
    Christian in name only? This one’s for the influencers still mixing kingdom and witchcraft. But more than that, it’s for the people following them. In part 3 of the Manifestation Series, Leah exposes how self-worship still parades as biblical truth across content, coaching, and Christian branding. She equips you to spot when a platform is dripping with deception. If you’ve ever felt off but couldn’t explain why, this episode gives you the biblical tools to test the fruit, test the spirit, and stop consuming counterfeit gospel. A direct word for seekers, skimmers, and saved saints alike. 🎧 Listen to the Other Episodes in the Manifestation Series Episode 11 – The Serpent Still Speaks: Manifestation and the Gospel of Selfhttps://pod.link/1797035500/episode/Yjk1YjQyYzYtNjMyOC00MDdlLThiYTEtYjJmMDAxNzA3NDkw Episode 12 – Exposing Manifestation’s Messiah: The Heretic Who Hijacked Jesushttps://pod.link/1797035500/episode/Mjc5NTAyNTEtNTY5Mi00NzkyLWJmN2MtYjJmMTAwYjRjOWZm 💬 Quote “If the bones were built by the enemy, you can’t just paint over them with Christian words and expect them to be holy.” 🔍 Key Takeaways You cannot repackage witchcraft in Christian vocabulary. If the spirit hasn’t changed, the message is still demonic. Not every “Jesus post” is Spirit-led. There are only two kingdoms, and every platform is building for one or the other. If you’re consuming it, you’re coming into agreement with it. What you follow can open spiritual doors. Repentance is not a rebrand. Without renunciation, deliverance, and a tearing down of old frameworks, you’re still yoked to deception. Discernment starts with scripture. You cannot spot the counterfeit if you don’t know the Word. 📖 Featured Scripture James 3:1 – “Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.” 📣 Resources & Connect 🕊️ Join the Faithful Exiles Messenger CommunityRecently left the New Age or feeling the pull out?

    #16 - From Glamour to the Grave: Occult Hollywood & the Demons Behind the Beauty Gospel w/ former Hollywood stylist Alison Levine
    Aug 21 2025
    Behind the Botox, the breathwork, and the beauty gospel lies something far darker—demonic influence designed to numb, seduce, and separate women from the voice of God. In this raw, unfiltered episode of The Cul✞ure Cast, Leah sits down with former Hollywood stylist Alison Levine to expose how the enemy is using glamor, trauma healing, and spiritual counterfeits to hijack an entire generation of women. Ali’s testimony pulls back the veil on what’s really happening in the entertainment industry and how she unknowingly partnered with the occult while working in high fashion, celebrity styling, and the New Age wellness world. From gifting suites with tarot readers to Ouija boards on kitchen tables, what looked like opportunity was actually spiritual infiltration. After a traumatic birth, postpartum collapse, and supernatural intervention, Ali surrendered to Jesus and everything fell apart. In the best way. This episode dismantles the demonic beauty gospel, confronts the false light of breathwork, and reveals the true power of the Holy Spirit to deliver, restore, and heal. If you've ever believed that Botox, trauma tools, or spiritual regulation were harmless, this is your wake-up call. “God said to me, ‘My breath is not work. That’s counterfeit.’” – Alison Levine 🔍 Key Takeaways Botox and fillers are not neutral — they partner with spirits of vanity, rejection, and deathMost breathwork practices are spiritually dangerous and open demonic doors, even when disguised as trauma healingHollywood culture is a modern Babylon that spiritually programs women to idolize status, beauty, and controlDeliverance begins when you renounce the false light and surrender to the authority of JesusThe breath of God restores what the enemy hijacked — without compromise or contamination 📖 Featured Scripture “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” - 2 Corinthians 11:14Timestamps - 00:36 - Introduction: Occult Hollywood and Alison’s Testimony 05:46 - The Bathtub Breakdown and First Surrender 18:00 - Botox, Beauty Culture, and the Spirit of Death 30:51 - “In Jesus’ Name”: Holy Spirit Power and Demonic Backlash 44:58 - “I Love the Rebels”: God’s Calling in the Wilderness 49:24 - From Chaos to Christ: Obedience, Deliverance, and Assignment 📣 Resources & Connect From Chaos to Christ Summit - Ali’s free multi-day summit for women leaving deception and walking in truth. 🔗 Join here: http://speaker.fromchaostochristsummit.com/Leah-Steele-Barnett 📱 Follow Alison Levine on Socials Instagram: @alilevinedesign Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AliLevineDesign/ 🕊️ Join the Faithful Exiles Messenger CommunityRecently left the New Age or feeling the pull out?
