In this powerful episode of The Cul✞ure Cast, Leah welcomes renowned entrepreneur-turned-Kingdom leader Katrina Ruth for a soul-stirring conversation about supernatural encounters, radical surrender, and the unseen spiritual war raging in the personal development industry. Both Leah and Katrina spent years building wildly successful businesses rooted in New Age spirituality—until God’s relentless pursuit interrupted everything. They each experienced divine encounters, supernatural deliverance, and the humbling collapse of the worlds they built for themselves.

Katrina openly shares how God shattered her illusions, stripped away her reliance on self, and led her into a life of full dependence on the Holy Spirit—where the supernatural isn’t just a concept, but a daily reality. If you’ve ever felt drawn to the supernatural, if you’re exhausted from the endless cycle of self-help and spiritual seeking, or if you’re curious what it actually means to walk in supernatural power under God’s authority, this episode is for you.

Subscribe to The Cul✞ure Cast for bold, transparent conversations at the intersection of faith, culture, and supernatural reality.

Share this episode with the spiritual seeker in your life—the one who’s hungry for truth but hasn’t yet found the real source.

Why This Episode Matters:
This isn’t just another personal development story—it’s a wake-up call for every seeker, every coach, and every spiritual leader who’s been drawn to the supernatural but hasn’t yet encountered the true living God. If you’ve dabbled in manifestation, energy healing, plant medicine, or spiritual gifts outside of Christ, you need to hear the truth: the supernatural is real—but outside of Jesus, it always comes at a cost. This episode will challenge the lies, call out the counterfeit, and invite you into the authentic supernatural power of God’s Kingdom.

#3 - Take What Needs Taking Katrina Ruth on Deliverance, Surrender & Spiritual

The enemy is crafty, and one of his most deceptive strategies is the two-sided coin of self-idolatry and self-righteousness. In this episode, Leah unpacks how these two traps—whether through self-worship in the New Age or spiritual superiority in religious circles—both pull people away from God’s Kingdom.


This episode explores how Satan counterfeits spiritual gifts, lures people into pride, and distorts God's truth, keeping them in bondage to deception. Leah shares her personal experiences in both New Age self-worship and the subtle trap of self-righteousness in Christianity, revealing how true freedom comes only through radical humility and supernatural surrender.


If you’ve ever felt the tension between spiritual seeking and self-sufficiency, or if you’ve been caught in cycles of judgment, striving, and spiritual superiority, this episode will challenge you to ask God for His eyes, His ears, and His truth.

In This Episode:

The Two-Sided Coin of Deception – How Satan uses both self-worship and self-righteousness to keep us out of God’s will.
The Counterfeit vs. The Real – How clairvoyance, energy healing, and New Age “gifts” are just distorted versions of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
The Lie of Supernatural Specialness – Why the New Age crowns gurus and how the Kingdom of God works in reverse.
Why Many Seekers Leave the Church – How the Cessationist movement stripped the supernatural from Christianity, driving people toward spiritual deception.
Fear as the Enemy’s Tool – Why fear-mongering and judgment won’t bring people to Christ—and why love and supernatural encounters will.
The Power of Deliverance & Kingdom Authority – What it means to walk in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit rather than seeking signs and wonders outside of Christ.
The Importance of Humility in the Kingdom – Why Matthew 23:12 (“Those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted”) is foundational to breaking free.

#5 - The Devil’s Coin How Self-idolatry & Self-righteousness Keep You from God

What happens when a multi–seven–figure New Age “dark consciousness” leader gets ambushed by the Holy Spirit? In this explosive first part of Leah Steele’s interview with Lorna Vaughn, founder of Tongue of Fire and the Warrior Wife Movement, nothing is off-limits.

From channeling demonic revelation and writing an 800-page “Bible of Darkness”... to a six-hour demonic possession that nearly killed her… to the moment she heard God’s undeniable command to “Get baptized”...

This is spiritual warfare in real life - raw, unfiltered, and soaked in the power of Jesus to redeem even the most entangled in the occult.

If you’ve ever wondered how deep the deception runs in the New Age and how complete God’s deliverance can be - you need to hear this.



🔍 You’ll Learn:

How the enemy hijacks God-given gifts for counterfeit influence in the occult
The hidden costs of operating in demonic power - and the price the devil always demands
Why the voice of the Holy Spirit is radically different from New Age spirit guides
The wilderness stripping process God uses to dismantle everything built on the enemy’s ground
The Ezer Kenegdo anointing - the biblical role of a warrior wife called to fight for her husband’s deliverance
