In Part 2 of this deep-dive investigation, Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew “Super Sleuth” Soncrant continue their examination of La Luz del Mundo (“Light of the World”) by moving beyond history into the movement’s theology and Christology. Joined again by researcher and author Luis Carlos Reyes  @Mopar440HP  team unpacks the doctrinal framework that sustains one of the largest and most controversial apostle-centered movements in the world. This episode carefully analyzes La Luz del Mundo’s rejection of historic Trinitarianism, its Oneness-influenced understanding of God, and its redefinition of the person and work of Jesus Christ.  What does LLDM actually teach about the incarnation? How do they interpret the Son of God?  And how does their theology position the “living apostle” as the necessary mediator of salvation in the present age?  The discussion exposes how LLDM’s doctrine of “election” reshapes the Gospel itself—placing apostolic authority functionally above Scripture and reframing salvation as loyalty to a man rather than faith in Christ alone. Jeremiah, Andrew, and Luis contrast these teachings with historic Christian orthodoxy, highlighting the theological fault lines that separate LLDM from biblical Christianity.

In this episode, Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew “Super Sleuth” Soncrant kick off a two-part investigation into La Luz del Mundo (“Light of the World”)—one of the largest, most influential high-control religious movements most English audiences have barely heard of. Joined by researcher and author Luis Carlos Reyes, the team traces La Luz del Mundo’s roots through early Oneness Pentecostal streams, prophetic offshoots, and the formation of its apostle-centered system—where loyalty to a “living apostle” becomes the gate to salvation. Luis shares firsthand experiences from inside the movement’s stronghold, explains how authority is enforced through control and intimidation, and unpacks the doctrine of “election” that elevates the apostle above Scripture and beyond accountability. Along the way, they explore the movement’s communal structure, alleged corruption, and the chilling psychological grip that keeps members trapped—often even in the face of abuse.

In this episode of Cultish, Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant respond to Netflix’s The Evil Influencer: The Jodi Hildebrandt Story. They examine how Mormonism’s emphasis of personal revelation can become a breeding ground for cult leaders who claim to “hear from God,” and how institutional trust plays a role—highlighting the fact that Jodi Hildebrandt was listed as an approved therapist by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This episode explores the dangerous mix of spiritual authority, therapeutic language, and unchecked influence—and why discernment matters. What happens when personal “revelation” overrides accountability?

In the final installment of our series on Korean cults, we expose the mind control tactics woven through groups like Shincheonji, the Olive Tree Movement, and the Unification Church. Building on the theological patterns we uncovered in episodes 1 and 2, we break down how these movements use reinterpreted Scripture, deceptive “Bible studies,” and authoritarian teaching structures designed to make you question the Bible—and trust their leaders as the only true source of revelation. We talk with our returning guests to uncover how these groups systematically dismantle a person’s confidence in God’s Word, isolate them from outside voices, and replace biblical authority with hidden doctrines, secret meanings, and messianic claims. This episode exposes how Korean messianic movements manipulate Scripture, control information, and infiltrate churches—and how Christians can recognize, resist, and refute their strategies with sound theology and the true Gospel. We’re joined by Pastor Yang, Adjunct Professor of New Testament at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary in Seoul, who holds a Doctor of Theology in New Testament and served as a Visiting Scholar at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (2023–2024). Also joining us is Chris, a former member of Shincheonji and returning Cultish guest, who shares his firsthand experience and ongoing efforts to raise awareness about the growing global influence of Korean cults.  Partner With Us & Be Part of the Mission to Change Lives: HERE SHOP OUR MERCH: HERE Please consider subscribing to our YouTube Channel: CultishTV.com Cultish is a 100% crowdfunded ministry.  -- Email Chris & Pastor Yang:  [email protected]  [email protected]  Chris's Website: HERE Chris's YouTube: HERE Pastor Yang's YouTube: HERE

In this second episode of our series on Korean Cults, we trace the tangled roots of Korea’s modern messianic movements—shaped by Jeong Deuk-eun (“The Great Holy Mother”) and Kim Baek-moon—gave birth to a new religion that blended Confucianism, Taoism, and Christian language into a syncretic gospel of bloodline purification and “True Bloodline Lineage.  We then follow how this ideology influenced later leaders like Jung Myung-seok (JMS) and Park Tae-seon of the Olive Tree Movement, revealing the disturbing legacy of Korean messiahship and political infiltration that continues today through groups like the Moonies, Shincheonji, and WMSCOG.  We’re joined by Pastor Yang, Adjunct Professor of New Testament at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary in Seoul, who holds a Doctor of Theology in New Testament and served as a Visiting Scholar at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (2023–2024).

We are joined again this week by Steve Matthews from Exposing the Cults to take another look into the world of Burning Man and Transformational Festivals. Our guest has attended Burning Man and has studied, written on, and has spoken about this growing phenomenon for several years now, and brings us years of his thinking and analysis on this subject in this episode. Matthews likes to point out that, "Young people today are not rushing out and joing groups like the Jehovah's Witnesses these days. Instead, they are pursuing other spiritual paths like Burning Man and other similar Transformational Festivals. Everything is changing now to new forms of spirituality in our culture." In this episode we delve into the hard to explain nature of these festivals and describes what goes on at them, as well as uncover the true history of Burning Man and then give a critical response to the emerging Pagan worldview behind Transformational Festival culture.

We conclude our three week deep dive into the International Christian Church with Part 2 of a two part examination and response to the ICC with Steve Matthews from ExposingTheCults. The ICC is an aggressive group which claims to be "the very Movement of God" and can be found on college and university campuses across the country and operating in dozens of nations around the world. In this series we have traced the origins of the ICC from the establishment of the mainline Church of Christ in the Restoration Movement, through the movements established by Kip McKean which include the very controversial Boston Church of Christ, the International Churches of Christ (the ICOC), and the International Christian Church. We have also taken a look at the Restored Church Worldwide which has recently split off from the ICC, and have responded to the movements' teachings about discipling relationships and central leadership. In this episode we respond to the verses used by the ICC and the mainline Church of Christ to try to erroneously prove that baptism is necessary for salvation, and demonstrate how salvation comes through faith in Christ alone.

This week, we kick off a three-week deep dive into the International Christian Church (ICC) with a look at the current split within the movement. Many ICC members are choosing to leave and join the Restored Church Worldwide (RCW), forcing a tough decision: remain in the ICC to preserve its unity, which they’ve believed to be “the very Movement of God,” or follow other disciples into a new movement that’s excited to restore the Book of Acts in this generation. In this episode, countercult apologist Steve Matthews and former longtime ICC member Coltin Rohn examine the growing divide between the ICC and RCW, offering a third alternative grounded in Scripture for struggling ICC disciples. Don't miss this powerful episode, and be sure to tune in next week as we continue our deep dive into the roots of the ICC, the International Churches of Christ, and the Campbell-Stone Restoration Movement that laid the foundation for the creation of the Boston Church of Christ in 1979.   Please consider partnering with Cultish to continue this ministry: HERE The ExposingTheCults website is coming soon!
