I sat down again with Brandon Kroll, my returning guest who always brings fire, wisdom, and just enough controversy to keep us all questioning. If you’ve caught our previous episodes together (like the Rogue Thinkers series), you know Brandon doesn’t pull punches—and this time was no different.

In this second part of our Lukewarm Christianity series, we explored how the occult and pop culture influence modern faith and how believers can stay spiritually vigilant. From Nephilim symbiosis to the counterfeit promises of the enemy, we didn’t just scratch the surface—we dove deep. And as always, we connected everything back to Scripture, because without that anchor, we’re just drifting in the chaos.

1️⃣ Make sure to catch up with part 1 : Being Set Apart, Not Blending In.
