About The Culture Cast

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.

   Blessed and Highly Favored Until the Bill Came Due

   The kingdom of darkness favored her with a life of luxury, and then it came to collect. Content warning: a brief account of a suicidal crisis before a deliverance encounter. Handled with care, still heavy. Leah had more money than she knew what to do with, and she was teaching I AM as a manifestation tool while she built all of it. This one is a bonus cross post. Jenny Embrey interviews Leah on the Magdalene Table, and it opens with a single sentence Jesus said to her on a prayer walk, I am the fruit of your life, which turns the rest of the hour into an accounting of what that fruit actually is. Jenny takes I AM back through Exodus 3 and a Hebrew verb that never finishes, then John 8:58 and the Aramaic. Leah takes it the other direction, into what an I AM affirmation is really aimed at and who ends up receiving the worship. Then the evidence, item by item. Voices that never stopped until they did. A body she spent her whole life refusing to be inside. Anxiety running all day, fear removed in an afternoon, money that had owned her since childhood, a marriage nobody was going to fix. Plus why the name of Jesus splits a room when the name of God does not, what a false Jesus entity is, and how to hear it when somebody says the name and it lands dead.

I built a life of luxury and had more money than I knew what to do with, and it all looked and felt really, really amazing for a while, until the payment came due." -Leah Steele Barnett Key Takeaways What Jesus said to Leah on a prayer walk when she asked whether she had an assignment wrong. I AM is taught as a manifestation tool in the New Age, and Leah explains where that principle came from and which direction it gets pointed. The Hebrew behind I AM THAT I AM is a verb tense that never finishes, and Jenny explains what that does to how you read Exodus 3. The first thing that changed when Leah surrendered, and why she found it unsettling rather than peaceful. Fear removed in a single day after a lifetime of it, and the one time it has come back since. One sentence, prayed daily for two months, and what happened to her husband. Why the name of Jesus shifts the atmosphere of a room when the name of God does not, and what Leah says free will has to do with it. How to tell in your own body that somebody talking about Jesus does not actually know Him. What Leah says shifted in the spirit over the last few weeks, and why she is watching parents closely right now. Featured Scripture Matthew 7:16-20 "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." (KJV) Application: Jesus hands out a test that needs no seminary degree and no gift of discernment. Look at what a life is producing and work backwards from there. Leah runs that test on her own life in this episode and comes back with a quiet mind, peace she had never felt, a reconciled marriage and a husband who found Jesus himself, and she is careful to say none of it is hers to take credit for. Run the same test on your own life, and on the voices you let teach you. It works in both directions, and over time it is stubbornly hard to fake.

   Human Trafficking Rescues Made Him a Believer with Jason Sisneros

   He read the Bible locked in his room while his face healed. That was Jason Sisneros as a boy, put there by the adopted father who went to prison for the attempted murder of him and his mother when Jason was seventeen. His grandmother Ruth kept a Bible in that room, so he read it more than most people ever will, as a series of stories with no relationship attached. He delivered drugs at twelve, collected at sixteen, carried the nickname Psycho, and planned to go out in a shootout with police. A knife opened his chest in a parking lot the night he told his boys he was finished, and the verse that surfaced while it went in was the one about the sins of the father visited on the children. His son had just been born. Leah has known Jason for eleven years, since the day she sat in his office and cried for twenty minutes while her business collapsed. This is the first time the two of them have talked about faith on record. He walks through the years of hating church and being furious at God after he lost three businesses and a marriage in the same season, the undercover rescues with Pastor Rudy, the prayer line that sent the team back to a hospital they had already cleared twice, and the girl in a car at a gas station across the street who asked whether all of that was really for her. From there it turns to what he sees now that he is out: influencers paid to keep Americans hating each other, separation as the oldest play in the book, a country that handed off its civic duty, and men waking up quietly all over the place. His definition of a real victim is the line most people will replay. JOIN THE MONTHLY BIBLE STUDY HERE: https://supernaturalbiblesessions.com (https://supernaturalbiblesessions.com) "You take a trafficker off the street and you transform their heart, you've now saved 300 little girls. You've just saved 300 with that one act." -Jason Sisneros Key Takeaways The verse that surfaced in Jason's head the moment a knife went into his chest, and why it ended his career in the drug trade that night. He became a Christian, then lost three businesses, his marriage and his home, and the church that took his checks went quiet. The prayer line called the team back to a hospital they had already cleared twice, and what was parked at the gas station across the street. What Pastor Rudy said to a twelve year old girl through a car window, on behalf of every man who had ever hurt her. Jason gave his life to Christ watching a father pour oil over his son's head in a backyard after a rescue. Who benefits when Americans hate each other by party and by color, and where that play is written down. Why Jason pays almost no attention to Washington, and the one level of government where he says your effort actually lands. A fourth grade teacher taught him one habit that took him from a locked bedroom to two hundred stages a year. His definition of a real victim, and who does not qualify. Featured Scripture Exodus 34:7 "Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation." Application: This is the verse that came back to Jason with a blade in his chest, and it is the hinge of his whole life. He had read it as a boy in a room he was locked in by the man whose iniquity was running straight at his newborn son. Nothing about him got holy that night, and he still walked away from the trade, because he could see the end of that story already written in his own childhood. The verse holds mercy and consequence in the same breath, and the mercy is the part that gets skipped. A line stops when somebody in it decides to stop it. Timestamps 0:00:00 - Eleven years, one phone call, one office 0:06:46 - Locked in a room with a Bible 0:09:02 - The gang, the last deal, and the knife 0:11:12 - Christian, then homeless and furious at God 0:13:29 - Pastor Rudy and the undercover rescues 0:15:53 - The girl in the car across from the hospital 0:18:19 - The oil, the boy, and giving his life to Christ 0:22:44 - Where he stands on America right now 0:36:29 - Influencers paid to keep you hating 0:39:21 - Praying for people you do not want to pray for 0:43:36 - The fourth grade teacher and the dictionary 0:51:47 - The state of men, and what is waking them 0:56:03 - The crown belongs to God 1:06:08 - Where he lands on AI, and what it cannot do Resources and Connect Jason Sisneros: Jason Sisneros is a business strategist, keynote speaker and philanthropist known as The Architect.

   Is Freemasonry in Your Bloodline Making You Sick? | Dr. Robin Perry Braun

   The oath your great grandfather swore is still showing up in your bloodwork. Dr. Robin Perry Braun holds a PhD in integrative medicine and a master's in psychology, she is an ordained minister, and she spent thirteen years in private practice with survivors of ritual abuse and trauma-based mind control, plus thirty five years inside the charismatic church. A few weeks ago she posted that a real power runs down Masonic and Illuminati bloodlines, that it counterfeits the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and that it is operating in pulpits and boardrooms right now. Leah has Freemasonry in her own bloodline, so she reached out. Dr. Robin on Faith on the Fringe, the mind control deep dive referenced on-mic: https://plinkhq.com/i/1894554711/e/1000783702683 (https://plinkhq.com/i/1894554711/e/1000783702683) This one goes two directions at once. Dr. Robin traces what the oaths do spiritually, through courts of heaven legal ground, contracts passed to descendants, and the favor networks that put certain people in front of crowds they never earned. Then it turns to the body, where she found MTHFR, thyroid disease, autoimmune conditions, addiction and depression showing up in client after client with the same thing sitting in the family line. Leah walks through her own case, from her grandfather's Masonic ring to three years of trying to get her health back. JOIN THE MONTHLY BIBLE STUDY HERE: https://supernaturalbiblesessions.com (https://supernaturalbiblesessions.com) "The enemy knows he cannot go toe to toe with Jesus. So he deceives men into making these oaths and vows." -Dr. Robin Perry Braun Key Takeaways Why some gifted pastors stay at two hundred people while others draw thirteen thousand, and what Dr. Robin kept finding in the bloodline. Nearly every client she tested since 2013 had Freemasonry in the family line. She explains what she does with that correlation. What the Illuminati did to the stonemasons in the 1700s, and why the lodge became the vehicle. Courts of heaven legal ground, and why "God forgive my ancestors" does not break the contract. The five categories of iniquity she sees repeat from Freemasonry, and why she separates the physical ones from the spiritual ones. MTHFR, thyroid disease and detox pathways that will not open, mapped against oaths taken generations ago. The counterfeit anointing, and the story of an African pastor and a mermaid that Dr. Robin still cannot forget. William Morgan vanished in 1826 after promising to publish the lodge secrets, and America built a whole political party over it. What a three year old in Oklahoma said to his mother the moment she finished a Shriner renunciation. Featured Scripture Matthew 5:34-37 "But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil." Application: Dr. Robin builds the entire spiritual half of this episode on the fact that Jesus took oaths seriously enough to forbid them outright. Samson and Jephthah are the Old Testament evidence that a vow binds whether or not the person making it understood the cost. The lodge asks men to swear by their throat, their heart and their bowels, in the presence of a being most of them could not name, and to say it over their descendants as well. Jesus does not soften that, He removes the practice completely and says anything beyond a plain yes comes from evil. The remedy in this episode starts exactly where the problem started, in the mouth.
