Faith on the Fringe

Called Up, Lied To, Cut Off: The Witch of Endor, Necromancy & Talking to the Dead

God does not waste commandments on things that are not real. He forbids necromancy, mediumship, divination, and every form of spirit communication because it actually works, and because what responds when you try to contact the dead is almost never who you think it is. In this episode, Leah and Malaine go into the Hebrew of Deuteronomy 18 and pull apart the nine practices God named as an abomination, word by word. What they find hiding inside the original language, connections to the serpent in Genesis, the true meaning of "familiar spirit," and a link between channeling and biblical meditation that uses the exact same Hebrew word, will change how you read these passages permanently. The centerpiece is 1 Samuel 28 and King Saul's encounter with the witch of Endor. A desperate king, a medium who screamed when something showed up that was above her pay grade, and a word of judgment that came true the next day. Both hosts also share personal testimony from their own time in the New Age and the occult, including Malaine seeking a medium after her son's death and Leah unknowingly naming herself after the exact Hebrew word for what a medium is. This is spiritual warfare, spiritual deception, and biblical truth taught by two women who walked the new age to Christianity road and came out the other side with receipts. If you or someone you love has been involved in channeling spirits, consulting mediums, séances, or any form of contact with the dead, this episode covers what was actually operating behind it, what it costs, and what deliverance and freedom look like on the other side.

The Bible says God forbids it. And those are two entirely different things. One says it's impossible. The other says it's real enough to be dangerous, real enough to defile you, real enough for God to call it an abomination, and real enough that a king of Israel lost his life over it." > — Leah Steele Barnett Featured Scripture > "Should not a people seek unto their God?

The Hebrew title given to the Witch of Endor in 1 Samuel 28. Ba'alat means "mistress" (feminine form of master). Ove means "wineskin" or "hollow vessel," referring to the medium as a container that a spirit fills and speaks through. The Septuagint translators rendered ove as angastrimythos, meaning "ventriloquist" or "one who speaks from the belly," connecting the practice to subterranean spirit communication. Menakesh (Enchanter). The Hebrew word for enchanter in Deuteronomy 18. Its root word Nakesh is the same word used for the serpent in Genesis 3. It means to hiss, to whisper, and to enchant through a low sound. All enchantment linguistically traces back to the serpent in the garden. The Tememteo Cave. An archaeological site in the Jerusalem hills identified as a necromancy site from the late Roman period. Researchers found a 21-meter shaft believed to function as a ritual pit for summoning subterranean spirits, corresponding to the Hebrew concept of the ove as a portal to the underworld. Scriptures for Further Study Deuteronomy 18:10-12. God names nine forbidden practices including divination, enchantment, witchcraft, charming, consulting familiar spirits, wizardry, and necromancy. All are called to'eba (abomination), the same word used for the practices that caused God to drive out entire nations. Leviticus 20:27. Prescribes the death penalty for anyone who has a familiar spirit or is a wizard. Capital punishment by stoning as a community-wide act of purging. Leviticus 19:31. Engaging with familiar spirits defiles a person. The Hebrew word tame means to become ritually and spiritually unclean, unfit for the presence of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 11:14. Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. The counterfeit feels like warmth, love, and light because the enemy knows how to replicate proximity to the divine. Acts 16:16. The girl at Philippi had a Pneuma Pythona (spirit of Python), named after the serpent spirit that guarded the Oracle at Delphi. Luke names the entity behind divination as a serpent spirit, connecting to the Nakesh of Genesis 3. 1 Samuel 28:7-20. King Saul consults the Witch of Endor to call up the prophet Samuel. The medium sees Elohim (plural spiritual beings) ascending from the earth and screams because what appeared exceeded her familiar spirit's authority. 1 Chronicles 10:13. Names necromancy as the direct cause of Saul's death. He died for his transgression against the Lord, specifically for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit. Isaiah 8:19. The call to seek God rather than mediums who "peep and mutter." The word for seek (Daraash) is the same verb used for seeking the Lord throughout the Old Testament. Isaiah 29:4. Describes the voice of familiar spirits as whispering out of the dust, out of the ground, connecting to the ove concept of subterranean spirit communication. Luke 16:26. Jesus confirms a great gulf fixed between the living and the dead, a boundary that God established. What crosses that boundary in a seance is not what it claims to be. Ecclesiastes 9:5. The dead do not know anything. Solomon writes from the perspective of life under the sun, meaning the participation of the dead in the earthly realm has been terminated by God's design. Hosea 4:6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. The warning that ignorance among believers serves the enemy's agenda. 2 Corinthians 5:17. Old things are passed away, all things become new. The promise for anyone who has been the ove: when you invite Jesus in, you are no longer that old wineskin. You are a temple of the Holy Spirit and no familiar spirit has jurisdiction over a house that belongs to the living God. Jeremiah 29:11. God's plans to prosper and not to harm. The gifts and calling the enemy perverted in the new age were always meant for the kingdom of heaven. God restores what was stolen.   If you have been the hollow vessel, if you opened yourself up to channeling or mediumship or sat across from someone who claimed to have a message from your dead, hear this: you are one act of repentance away from being clean. The same God who killed a king over this practice is also the God who sent His Son so that you could be washed from it. Confess it. Name it. Renounce every invitation and every agreement. Plead the blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth over yourself and over your bloodline. And then go read 2 Corinthians 5:17 until it lands in your bones. You are not the old wineskin anymore.

The Pentagon Released 162 UFO Files - Here's What the Church Still Isn't Saying (Part 2 of UFO Disclosure Series)

The Pentagon just dropped 162 declassified UAP files, and the site logged 340 million hits in the first 12 hours. Disclosure is not coming. It is already here. And the real subject of this episode is psychological warfare. In Part 2 of our alien disclosure series, Leah & Malaine are joined again by Apostle Jenny Embrey to break down five major developments since Part 1: the Pentagon's PURSUE portal, Congressman Burleson's investigation into defense contractors, 11 scientists with classified UAP access who have gone missing or died, Trump's confirmed investigation into those deaths, and a Spielberg disclosure film dropping the same month as the next Pentagon file release. They introduce the 90/10 model, walk through Project Blue Beam's four stages, and land in 2 Timothy 1:7, 1 Corinthians 12, and Matthew 16:18 to make the case that the discerning of spirits is the only framework that holds right now. The closer you look, the more Matthew 24 looks like a checklist. This is Part 2 of a larger conversation. Part 3 will continue with the Vatican, marine spirits, and the deeper UAP timeline.

And the enemy is scheming and coming after your mind." > > -Malaine Lea Butler   Key Takeaways * Why the Pentagon's 162 declassified UAP files created 340 million hits but still contained almost nothing the public can actually use. * How Congressman Eric Burleson's investigation into private defense contractors could expose what David Grusch testified about under oath in 2023. * What the cluster of 11 missing or dead scientists with classified UAP access tells us about what someone is trying to keep hidden. * Why the 90-10 model matters: 90% of what is in the sky may be reverse-engineered human technology, and the other 10% is where Genesis 6 becomes relevant. * How Project Blue Beam's four stages moved from conspiracy theory to technological capability, including voice-to-skull tech the US Air Force tested over Baghdad in 1991. * Why fear is the primary weapon of psychological warfare and why 2 Timothy 1:7 is the anchor believers need before disclosure goes mainstream. * What the ecclesia actually means in Matthew 16:18 and why Jenny says the gates of Hades will not prevail if the called-out ones stay grounded in the gifts of the Spirit. * Why Steven Spielberg is releasing a film called Disclosure Day the same month the Pentagon drops its next batch of files. Featured Scripture > "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." > > -2 Timothy 1:7 Application: Every piece of information in this episode, the missing scientists, the reverse-engineered craft, the holographic projection, the voice-to-skull technology, could easily drive a person into fear, paranoia, or despair. That is the point. The enemy's primary weapon in this season is psychological warfare aimed at the mind. Paul's word to Timothy is the anchor: God did not give you this fear. He gave you power, love, and a sound mind. The believer who stays submitted to Jesus Christ has access to the mind of Christ, the gifts of the Spirit, and the discernment to distinguish what is real from what is staged. The sound mind is not optional. It is your inheritance.

The Church Can't Handle Her: Apostle Jenny Embrey on Deliverance, Heaven, and Spiritual Warfare

Jenny (Goncher) Embrey has been kicked out of tent revivals, blocked from churches, and flooded with messages from men telling her women cannot minister. She keeps going anyway, because Jesus told her to. In this episode, Leah and Malaine sit down with Apostle Jenny (Goncher) Embrey, founder of Women of Armor, to talk about what the modern church refuses to make room for: women in deliverance ministry, the reality of touching heaven, and what obedience actually costs when you walk in the supernatural. Jenny shares three encounters with heaven, including a near-death experience verified in the spirit, and makes the case that revival cannot take full footing without two things the Standard American Church keeps sidelining: women preaching and the deliverance ministry of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. JOIN LEAH MALAINE AND JENNY IN THE OFFICIAL FOTF FACEBOOK GROUP HERE:  Together they walk through what it looks like to operate in spiritual warfare daily, how generational curses and soul ties open doors to demonic oppression, and why obedience to the Holy Spirit is itself a form of deliverance. Jenny's ministry has performed over 3,000 hours of deliverance, healing, and discipleship in four years, and that number keeps growing because set-free women keep telling other women where to find freedom. > "Revival will not take full footing unless two critical elements are fully engaged: women preaching and the deliverance ministry of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Because those are the two things that were in the Holy Fire of the Spirit of the early church." > > -Apostle Jenny (Goncher) Embrey Key Takeaways * Jenny's most fringe belief is that you can touch heaven, and she has experienced it: a mother's love transferred through an open vision, a message from a woman who had passed decades ago, and a near-death encounter verified by the young woman who lived it. * Revival will not come in fullness without two things the modern church keeps resisting: women operating in ministry and the deliverance ministry of Jesus Christ. * The Standard American Church is dead, meaning it is not walking in the Spirit of God but operating from religious structure, fear of man, and institutional control. * Deliverance is not a one-time event. It is a daily posture of surrender, obedience, and deeper levels of freedom in Christ. * The enemy's legal rights often come through soul ties and generational curses that believers think they have already broken but have not fully renounced. * Obedience is the safest place a believer can be, and it is itself a form of deliverance. When you obey what makes no sense to your flesh, strongholds break. * Women of Armor operates from Ephesians 6 and Romans 13:12, putting on both the full armor of God and the armor of light, and walking in a constant state of deliverance as ministers. * The Spirit of Wisdom is available to every believer. Call on her. She belongs to you and the deliverance that comes by her is some of the most powerful there is. Featured Scripture > 1 Corinthians 2:13 > > "And we speak about these things, not with words taught us by human wisdom, but with words taught us by the Spirit, explaining spiritual truths to spiritual people." > > Application: This verse is the operating system of everything Jenny describes. Touching heaven, open visions, the transfer of a mother's love from beyond the veil, deliverance from demonic oppression, none of it makes sense to human wisdom. It was never supposed to. The Spirit teaches spiritual things to spiritual people, and the moment we demand that every encounter pass through the grid of religious logic before we accept it, we have placed human wisdom above the Holy Spirit. The supernatural ministry of Jesus Christ did not operate by committee approval. It operated by the Spirit. And that is what Women of Armor, and this entire episode, calls the body of Christ back into.

Referenced from Proverbs and the Wisdom of Solomon (a book removed from the Protestant canon). Jenny describes calling on the Spirit of Wisdom in prayer as a powerful component of deliverance ministry. The Wisdom of Solomon. One of the deuterocanonical books removed during the Protestant Reformation. Discussed in this episode as a beautiful text that reveals the person and function of Wisdom as a spirit believers can call upon. Scriptures for Further Study 1 Corinthians 2:13.

If you have been told that deliverance is not for today, that women can't minister, that the supernatural ended with the apostles, or that your experiences with the Holy Spirit are too much, too wild, or too fringe, take it to the Lord. Open the Word. Ask Him directly. The Spirit of God is not threatened by your hunger, your questions, or your willingness to go where the religious system refuses to follow. Jesus was the first liberator of women. He was the first full deliverer. And His ministry did not end at the cross. It was finished at the cross so that you could walk in it.

UFO Disclosure Already Has a Foothold in the Church - and What's Hidden Underneath the Meetings Is Much Darker

Disclosure is coming, and the church is not ready. But it's not for the reason they want you to think. In this episode, Leah and Malaine, are joined by Jenny Embrey to respond to the recent wave of private UAP disclosure meetings involving pastors, Christian influencers, deliverance leaders, and government-connected sources. What started as a warning to prepare the church quickly became a public mess of viral claims, retractions, conflicting interpretations, and spiritual confusion. PARTICIPATE IN THE BINGE THE FRINGE CHALLENGE: https://faithonthefringepodcast.com/binge-the-fringe [https://faithonthefringepodcast.com/binge-the-fringe] This episode follows the fallout from the backwoods Tennessee meeting, the viral claims that followed, and the deeper question underneath all of it: why is the church so unprepared to discern what is already unfolding? Leah, Malaine, and Jenny examine the spiritual, biblical, and cultural layers behind the chaos without reducing the conversation to fear, speculation, or conspiracy. From UAP disclosure and non-human intelligence to Genesis 6, strong delusion, and the unseen forces shaping public narratives, this conversation asks whether the body of Christ has the framework it needs before disclosure becomes mainstream. The Bible is not silent on the unseen realm. The problem is that many believers were never taught how to read those passages seriously. This is Part 1 of a larger conversation. Part 2 will continue with the Vatican meeting, Project Blue Beam, reverse-engineered technology, government disclosure, trafficking concerns, and the deeper UAP timeline.

And we’ve had that category in the text for thousands of years. It’s just that the Western church stopped reading those chapters.” > > -Leah Steele Barnett Key Takeaways * Why the church needs a stronger biblical framework before UAP disclosure becomes mainstream. * How one private meeting in Tennessee exposed deeper confusion around UFOs, non-human intelligence, and spiritual discernment. * Why the fallout from Pastor Larry Ragland’s viral claim matters beyond one misstatement. * What Genesis 6, the Nephilim, and the sons of God have to do with the conversation Christians are now being forced to face. * Why Colossians 1 matters when talking about visible and invisible beings, principalities, powers, and the authority of Christ. * How strong delusion, lying signs and wonders, and end-times deception should shape the way believers process disclosure narratives. * Why charismatic platform culture can become dangerous when urgency outruns humility, verification, and the fear of the Lord. * The three discernment questions every believer should ask before repeating a claim, sharing a clip, or trusting a public voice. Featured Scripture > Colossians 1:15-16 > > “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through him and for him.” Application: Colossians 1 gives believers the anchor for this entire conversation. The world may call it UFO disclosure, UAP disclosure, extraterrestrial life, interdimensional beings, or non-human intelligence, but Scripture already tells us that all things visible and invisible were created by Christ and for Christ. Nothing in heaven, on earth, or in any unseen realm exists outside His authority. Christians do not need to panic when strange things are revealed, but they do need to interpret every claim through Scripture, discernment, and submission to the Lord Jesus Christ.

UAP is commonly used in current government and public conversations about unidentified anomalous phenomena or unidentified aerial phenomena. In this episode, the concern is how Christians should respond to claims about UAP disclosure without falling into panic, mockery, gullibility, or denial. Lilith. Lilith is discussed in this episode as a principality connected to division, humiliation, rebellion, emasculation, and the distortion of male and female order. Malaine and Jenny connect this spiritual warfare framework to the public unraveling, disunity, and absence of women from major discernment conversations. Cape Girardeau Crash. Jenny references the alleged Cape Girardeau UFO crash connected to Reverend William Huffman. She discusses its regional significance and relationship to broader conversations about supernatural phenomena, spiritual geography, and discernment.   Scriptures for Further Study Genesis 6:1-4.

If You Teach or Preach It, You'd Better Have Researched It

The church has a biblical research problem. James 3:1 puts leaders under a stricter standard of judgment, and that standard has no exemption for “I was taught this way.” Biblical research is not optional for anyone handing theology to other people. It is an obligation. In this episode, Leah and Malaine lay out the case for Christian education as an act of obedience. They trace the political history of Bible canonization, examine what Papyrus 66 reveals about textual changes in Scripture, and investigate what the Ethiopian Bible, including the Book of Jubilees and the Book of Enoch, contains that Western Christianity quietly set aside. They also walk through the Gospel of Mary Magdalene and broader biblical apocrypha, examining early theology and eschatology that shaped the church long before modern denominations decided what counted as canon. Christian discernment and spiritual discernment both require source material. False doctrine spreads when leaders skip the research. This episode is the case for doing the work and handing people something you have actually investigated. > “Historical context does not weaken Scripture. It helps us understand what was actually being said.” -Malaine Lea Butler Key Takeaways * James 3:1 places Bible teachers, pastors, and spiritual leaders under a stricter standard of judgment, making biblical research an obligation for anyone teaching doctrine. * Many Christians defend inherited theology, Bible translations, and end-times positions without knowing where those beliefs came from or who shaped them. * Bible canonization, the Ethiopian Bible, the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubilees, and biblical apocrypha raise serious questions about what Western Christianity quietly set aside. * Papyrus 66 raises important questions about textual transmission, including the Mary and Martha issue in the Lazarus narrative and why manuscript history matters. * Healthy Christian discernment requires Scripture, prayer, source material, humility, historical context, and direct dependence on the Lord Jesus Christ. Featured Scripture > James 3:1 > > “Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.” Application: James 3:1 should sober every believer who teaches, preaches, pastors, mentors, or interprets Scripture for others. Leadership in the body of Christ is not a platform for borrowed theology or inherited certainty. Teachers carry responsibility before the Lord for what they hand to His people. That means doctrine should be researched, tested, prayed through, and handled with fear of the Lord rather than confidence in tradition alone.

If you teach it, preach it, prophesy it, build doctrine around it, or hand it to the body of Christ, you need to have researched it. Take your theology to the Lord. Open the Word. Look at the source material. Study the history. Ask where the doctrine came from, who shaped it, what was removed, what was preserved, and what assumptions you may have inherited without ever testing. The Holy Spirit is not threatened by honest research. Jesus is not offended by sincere questions. And truth does not need fear, offense, or religious control to defend it.
