What if psychic abilities aren’t just fake… but something far more dangerous?
In this episode of The Berean Files, we sit down with Seth Kicklighter to break down his wild, unfiltered new book “Spirit Realm Shenanigans!”—a brutally honest (and hilarious) deep dive into the world of psychic phenomena, astral projection, past-life regression, and spiritual deception.
From “spirit guides” to near-death experiences, Seth argues that what many call enlightenment may actually be something far more calculated—and far more biblical—than people realize.
Are these experiences just imagination? Are they psychological? Or are they something… spiritual? We examine:
• The rise of psychic culture (tarot, channeling, manifestation, etc.) • Claims about astral travel, lucid dreaming, and remote viewing • Whether “spirit guides” can actually be trusted • A biblical framework for understanding supernatural experiences • Why some encounters feel more real than reality itself
If you’ve ever wondered what’s really behind the curtain of the “spirit realm,” this conversation will challenge everything.

The headlines feel heavy, and questions about the end times are everywhere. But Jesus didn't call us to panic. He called us to be faithful: to love God with everything we have, to love our neighbor, and to make disciples, teaching others all that He commanded. In this episode, Zack and Jason ask a simple question: if we really are living in the last days, what should change about who we are and how we live today? Growing your own food, raising animals, being ready for hard times? That's great, but it's not the point. The real preparation is walking with God every single day, getting right with the people around us, and letting Him lead our lives. We also talk about the cross that recently fell on a priest and what we should (and shouldn't) read into moments like that. Guest views are their own; Scripture is our final authority.
Do some people really remember past lives, with birthmarks that match how they "died"? Seth Kicklighter, author of Spirit Realm Shenanigans!, is back for part 3 of his series, and he takes on what he calls the best evidence for reincarnation.
