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
📖 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.

Break agreement with religion. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you where you’ve partnered with pride, performance, or counterfeit holiness. Get in the Word. Ask for Rhema. And share this with someone who needs to be shaken out of spiritual sleep.
