The Devil in Disguise: Steven Bancarz on How the New Age Masquerades as Light in a 'Spiritual' Culture

Jenn Nizza sits down with Steven Bancarz—once the creator of one of the internet’s biggest New Age platforms—to uncover the dark deception behind popular “spiritual” practices like yoga, meditation, and manifestation.

Together, they expose how the enemy disguises darkness as light, weaving demonic philosophies into everyday culture through wellness trends, entertainment, and self-help spirituality. Steven shares surprising research, biblical insight, and his personal story of deliverance from the New Age movement—showing why Christians must discern what’s truly behind these “harmless” practices.

Whether you’ve dabbled in the New Age or simply want to understand how to protect your faith in an increasingly spiritualized culture, this episode will challenge and equip you to see light and darkness clearly through the lens of Scripture.
