Part 1: Hermetic Mormonism with Skyler Hamilton

In this episode of Cultish, Andrew Soncrant and Bradley Campbell (of ‪@GLM‬) sit down with Skyler Hamilton from Distinctive Christianity to explore the hidden world of Hermetic Mormonism.

What happens when esoteric traditions, alchemy, and mysticism creep into a religion that already claims divine revelation? Skyler unpacks his story of coming to faith in Christ by unpacking the surprising roots and modern expressions of this strange blend of Hermeticism and Latter-day Saint theology. 

How deep does the rabbit hole go? 

And why should Christians be concerned about this growing trend in fringe Mormon circles?

Is This the Antichrist? A Closer Look at the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light

What happens when a fringe religious group claims to be the fulfillment of every major religious prophecy—from Islam and Christianity to Buddhism and Zoroastrianism? In this episode, we’re joined by James Rayment of the Al-Ma’idah Initiative to explore the strange and rapidly growing movement known as the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light.

What draws people into a belief system that reinterprets ancient scriptures to point to a modern-day messiah?

How do we discern between genuine religious conviction and dangerous deception?

Join us as we uncover the theology, tactics, and troubling trends behind the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light—and why its influence may be more widespread than you think.

Ostlerian Mormonism: Mormon Philosopher vs. Mormon Prophets

In this episode of Cultish, I’m joined by Aaron Shafovaloff of Mormon Research Ministry and Skyler Hamilton of Distinctive Christianity and the three of us take a closer look at Blake Ostler, a fringe Mormon philosopher whose theological speculations are causing waves—even within the LDS community. Ostler’s views on the nature of God, eternal progression, and the atonement don’t just stretch the boundaries of Mormonism—they outright reject foundational teachings of mainstream Mormonism.

What happens when a philosopher tries to rebuild Mormon theology from the ground up?

Join us as we expose the deeper issues behind Ostler’s reimagined LDS framework. We break down why his ideas are gaining traction with Neo-Mormons and how they reveal a growing fracture within Mormon thought.

Could Ostler’s theology be paving the way for an entirely new form of Neo-Mormon spirituality?

R.L. Solberg: Untangling the Lies of Progressive Christianity, Hebrew Roots, & Legalism

In this episode of Cultish, we’re joined by R.L. Solberg — theologian, apologist, and author of The Law, the Christ, the Promise — to dive into the growing influence of Progressive Christianity, the Hebrew Roots Movement, and modern Fundamentalism.

What happens when movements either add to or subtract from the finished work of Christ?

How can we recognize when the Gospel is being distorted?

We explore how these movements twist the true message of salvation and how Paul’s letter to the Galatians offers a powerful defense against both legalism and lawlessness. R.L. also shares insights from his new verse-by-verse apologetics study through Galatians, equipping believers to stand firm in the freedom of Christ.
