#3 - Take What Needs Taking: Katrina Ruth on Deliverance, Surrender & Spiritual Authority

In this powerful episode of The Cul✞ure Cast, Leah welcomes renowned entrepreneur-turned-Kingdom leader Katrina Ruth for a soul-stirring conversation about supernatural encounters, radical surrender, and the unseen spiritual war raging in the personal development industry. Both Leah and Katrina spent years building wildly successful businesses rooted in New Age spirituality—until God’s relentless pursuit interrupted everything. They each experienced divine encounters, supernatural deliverance, and the humbling collapse of the worlds they built for themselves.

Katrina openly shares how God shattered her illusions, stripped away her reliance on self, and led her into a life of full dependence on the Holy Spirit—where the supernatural isn’t just a concept, but a daily reality. If you’ve ever felt drawn to the supernatural, if you’re exhausted from the endless cycle of self-help and spiritual seeking, or if you’re curious what it actually means to walk in supernatural power under God’s authority, this episode is for you.

In This Episode:

• How the supernatural realm was always calling—but the enemy offered a counterfeit first.
• Why radical surrender to Jesus is the only way to experience authentic supernatural power without cost or bondage..
• The deception of New Age spirituality—how it keeps you in a cycle of healing, upgrading, and seeking.
• What supernatural deliverance really looks like—and how both Leah and Katrina experienced freedom from spiritual oppression.
• The Holy Spirit vs. counterfeit spirits—why nothing in the New Age comes close to the power, peace, and purity of the Holy Spirit.
• Katrina’s personal prayers of surrender: Take what needs taking. Break what needs breaking. Shake what needs shaking.—and how that prayer changed everything.
• How the desire for supernatural power is part of how we’re wired—but only when sourced from God’s Kingdom.
• Why God often allows business, finances, and plans to collapse to break us free from self-reliance—and into divine provision and supernatural partnership.

Why This Episode Matters:

This isn’t just another personal development story—it’s a wake-up call for every seeker, every coach, and every spiritual leader who’s been drawn to the supernatural but hasn’t yet encountered the true living God. If you’ve dabbled in manifestation, energy healing, plant medicine, or spiritual gifts outside of Christ, you need to hear the truth: the supernatural is real—but outside of Jesus, it always comes at a cost. This episode will challenge the lies, call out the counterfeit, and invite you into the authentic supernatural power of God’s Kingdom.
