Episode 70 - Sweet Dreams

🎙 Sweet Dreams: Paganism, Cults, and the Return of Mysticism

In this episode of Teleios Talk, host Wendell Martens confronts a sobering truth: paganism, cults, and mysticism aren’t just outside the church anymore — they’re being welcomed in. From New Age crystals and “Christian” tarot readings to self-styled prophets and inclusive spirituality, the modern church is blurring the lines between truth and tolerance.

Drawing from Scripture, history, and cultural analysis, Wendell exposes how ancient deceptions are reappearing in modern forms — and how believers are being subtly drawn into syncretism disguised as “self-care” and “spiritual awakening.” Through a deep dive into paganism, cults and mysticism, and the crisis of tolerance within today’s church, this episode calls Christians to return to holiness, discernment, and uncompromising devotion to God’s Word.

Featuring insights from thinkers like Tom Holland, Rodney Stark, and Nancy Pearcey, along with timeless warnings from Scripture, Sweet Dreams challenges listeners to wake up to the spiritual war within the church.

Because not everything labeled “spiritual” is sacred — and not every silence is grace.
