In this episode, Spencer Smith, a pastor and filmmaker, delves into the intricate relationship between modern Christianity and ancient mysticism. He highlights how the 'Third Adam' documentary series exposes the alarming trends of occult practices infiltrating churches.
Smith argues that many charismatic movements are essentially repackaged forms of paganism, leading believers away from foundational biblical teachings.
Through his work, he seeks to inform Christians about these influences and encourage a return to sound doctrine.
The discussion underscores the urgency for the church to reclaim its identity and resist the encroachment of deceptive spiritual practices.
