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.
