The Bible is stranger, darker, and more glorious than you were taught. Let's talk about it.

Faith on the Fringe Podcast is where Leah Steele Barnett and Malaine Lea Butler explore the supernatural biblical worldview that most modern churches have quietly shelved. Spirit-Filled. Bible-Obsessed. Slightly Unhinged.

The Divine Council. Fallen Watchers. The Nephilim. Pre-flood history. Spiritual warfare with real teeth. We bring the scholarship, the Spirit, and zero religious performance.

We are not doom-scrolling through Revelation or building bunkers. This is a Kingdom-forward conversation rooted in the belief that God's story is bigger, wilder, and more victorious than mainstream theology has made room for.

For the believers who never stopped asking questions. For the Christ-followers who want the whole Bible, not just the comfortable parts.

  • Is Christian Celebrity Culture Idolatry? Two Ex-New Agers on Pedestals and Pitchforks

    Is Christian Celebrity Culture Idolatry? Two Ex-New Agers on Pedestals and Pitchforks
    Oct 21 2026
    Your biggest cheerleaders will be the people holding the pitchforks. Leah and Malaine both spent years being platformed in the New Age, and both say what they're seeing in Christian celebrity culture right now goes further than anything they saw there. Nobody who ends up exposed online set out to start a cult. Good people with a heart for God get platformed and pedestaled, the work of maintaining the platform starts eating the time they used to spend with Him, pride finds an open door, and the same crowd that worshipped them shows up with pitchforks. Leah goes back to the affiliates she paid tens of thousands of dollars who turned on her hardest, and Malaine talks about the leaders who stop hearing the truth once everyone around them turns into a yes person. The second half turns to the whiplash of leaving the New Age for Jesus. Some swing into legalism and cessationism out of fear of being deceived again. Others land in hyper charismatic circles where the pedestals are even higher. Malaine tells the story of the nanny whose kindness led her to Jesus while she was still running New Age retreats, and Leah explains why it took her a full year to say yes to Him. So if Jesus stood next to you in church this Sunday, would He be thrilled with what He saw? JOIN THE FRINGE COMMUNITY ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/Faithonthefringe JOIN OUR MONTHLY BIBLE STUDY HERE: https://supernaturalbiblesessions.com "Throwing a pitchfork at somebody is not the kingdom of heaven. I'm pretty sure that's a different kingdom." -Leah Steele Barnett Key Takeaways Why nobody who gets exposed online starts out planning to manipulate the body of Christ.The warning Malaine got in the New Age about the woman idolizing her, and how it came true that same year.Why the people who platform you are usually the first to turn on you.How the work of maintaining a platform quietly replaces time with Jesus.What happens to a leader once the people around them become yes people.Why attacking someone online opens a door for you and activates a spirit of offense in them.The two directions ex-New Agers tend to swing: legalism and cessationism, or hyper charismatic circles.What fear of being deceived again looked like in Malaine's first season with Jesus.The nanny who never judged Malaine and ended up leading her to Jesus.Why staying curious and sitting in judgment can't happen at the same time.The one thing Leah was delivered of the moment she said yes to Jesus. Featured Scripture "Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them." Psalm 115:8 (ESV) Application: Malaine's point is that whatever we idolize, we start to resemble, deaf and blind to what's in front of us. That goes for a celebrity pastor as much as a carved image. Before you defend or attack anyone in the public eye this week, ask Jesus whether you've handed that person your discernment. Then take it to your prayer closet and let Him show you where your worship has drifted.

  • Podcast Pimps, The Judas Spirit & Celebrity Christian Culture - The Fringe Files

    Podcast Pimps, The Judas Spirit & Celebrity Christian Culture - The Fringe Files
    Oct 13 2026
    Leah had decided a pastor was blasphemous before she had watched a minute of his sermon. A guest cancelled, so this one is off the cuff, and it opens with Leah admitting she did the exact thing this show tells people not to do. She saw clips of Otha Turnbow's sermon on Jesus going to hell, felt the emotional charge, went looking for other people's reactions, and sealed his fate in her mind without going to the source. In this conversation she walks through the rebuke she got in her spirit, what she found when she finally watched the sermons, and why she says the short clip exists to deny you context and sell you a reaction instead. The second half turns toward the economy around all of it. Leah and Malaine cover celebrity Christian culture and who is monetizing what, the Judas spirit running through exposure ministry, how to tell a watchman from an accuser, the man who publicly gave Jenny Weaver seventy two hours to live, and why loyalty to a ministry turns into idolatry faster than anybody expects. They close on holding every ministry loosely, the spiritual covering language nobody can find in scripture, and Jesus inviting the question at the foot of Mount Hermon. JOIN THE FRINGE COMMUNITY ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/Faithonthefringe JOIN OUR MONTHLY BIBLE STUDY HERE: https://supernaturalbiblesessions.com "The truth doesn't need to hide from questioning. The only thing that needs to hide from questioning is deception." -Leah Steele Barnett Key Takeaways Leah walks through her own week of judging a sermon off a clip, and the rebuke that stopped her.Why the kingdom of darkness has an interest in keeping you off long form content, and what the three second hit is actually doing.What Otha Turnbow's sermon on Jesus and hell actually says once you sit through all three of them in full.Both hosts are monetizing, and they explain how an assignment from God and a Patreon can sit in the same hand.The Judas spirit in exposure ministry, and the test Leah uses on how she feels after watching one.How to tell a watchman from an accuser, including the one thing a watchman always does that an accuser never bothers with.The man who publicly gave Jenny Weaver seventy two hours to live, and what she was doing when the deadline passed.Why loyalty to a pastor or a platform turns into idolatry, and what Malaine says happens to your prophetic hearing once it does.The spiritual covering and spiritual father language that neither of them can find anywhere in scripture. Featured Scripture Proverbs 18:17 "He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him." (KJV) Application: The first version of a story always sounds airtight, which is exactly why God put a second step in the verse. Somebody has to come and search it. A forty second clip is the first voice, and so is the reaction video stacked on top of it, and neither one has been searched by anybody. Leah ran into this in her own week and names it plainly in the episode. Before you form a verdict on a brother or sister, go be the neighbour who searches it, which usually means watching the whole thing and reading the whole chapter.

  • Church NDAs, Masonic Oaths and Silenced Survivors With Dr. Robin Perry Braun

    Church NDAs, Masonic Oaths and Silenced Survivors With Dr. Robin Perry Braun
    Oct 6 2026
    A missionary came in for early stage Alzheimer's and turned out to be still attending rituals. Content warning: satanic ritual abuse, ritual abuse inside churches and at the hands of ministers, dissociative identity disorder, parts and programming, child abuse, trafficking and suicide. Nothing graphic is described. Handled with care, still heavy. Headphones if there are little ears nearby. Dr. Robin Perry Braun has spent 13 years in private practice working with survivors most people are not equipped to help, and this is her second time on Faith on the Fringe. In this conversation she explains why survivors go silent at the moment their memories surface, why almost none of them ever escaped a coven because dissociative identity disorder meant they never knew, and what it sounds like when a woman describes a friend killed in front of her at five years old and still says she had the best childhood. The second half turns toward the people doing the helping. Dr. Robin walks through the open doors ministers carry into this work, the SRA minister she was told was still reprogramming the people who came to him, and why an NDA inside a ministry functions as the Babylonian version of Matthew 18. She closes with the practical side: muscle response testing, voice to skull work with targeted individuals, and why healing in small bites keeps a survivor from breaking. JOIN THE FRINGE COMMUNITY ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/Faithonthefringe JOIN OUR MONTHLY BIBLE STUDY HERE: https://supernaturalbiblesessions.com "The most important thing we can be is safe. Way over gifting, way over whatever, because people's nervous systems will not let them heal. They won't let the wall down until they start to feel safe." -Dr. Robin Perry Braun Key Takeaways The three reasons survivors of satanic ritual abuse stay silent, and the one that has nothing to do with fear.Why almost none of Dr. Robin's clients ever escaped a coven, and what that means for how SRA actually operates.What a screen memory sounds like, told through a client who kept insisting she had the best childhood.How to tell whether a deliverance minister or a therapist is safe, and why the people most drawn to this work often carry the most open doors.The SRA minister she was told was still reprogramming the people who came to him for help.Why an NDA in a ministry is the same instrument as a Masonic oath, and the verse it is standing in for.What Malaine says is hiding behind the boards and the published accountability statements.Why Dr. Robin says healing has to come in small bites, and what happens to people who get it all at once.The one test she gives anybody wondering whether something is ringing true about their own life. Featured Scripture Matthew 18:15-17 "Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: and if he neglect to hear the church, let him be as an heathen man and a publican." (KJV) Application: Jesus lays out a path with an ending, and the ending is public. Go alone, then with witnesses, then to the whole assembly. Dr. Robin's argument in this episode is that a non disclosure agreement takes that process and removes its final step, which is exactly what a Masonic oath does when it tells a man to say nothing about his brother. The instruction was given to stop gossip while still protecting the vulnerable, so anything that silences the third step is doing the opposite of what the text asks. Read it before you sign anything, and before you accept somebody's assurance that a board exists.
