In this transformative episode, we dive into the profound intersection of faith, spirituality, and self-discovery, peeling back layers of cultural practices like the Law of Attraction and manifestation. We explore how these ideas stand in contrast to Christian theology and the call to seek God’s truth over the promises of mankind.

I share my journey from the lures of New Age spirituality—rooted in religious trauma—toward finding true freedom in God’s love and Word. Together, we unpack what it means to be made in His image, the true essence of free will, and why our unconscious search for meaning is a longing for God.

This episode is a call to build a personal relationship with God, beyond the confines of religiosity. We discuss the importance of praying for discernment, releasing control into God’s hands, and aligning with His will rather than our own desires.

Key topics include:

• The theological roots of the Law of Attraction and why it opposes Christian beliefs.
• Understanding angel numbers, divination, and the dangers of worshipping creation over the Creator.
• How confessing God’s name transformed my life and brought peace through full surrender.
• Why seeking acceptance and worth in God provides lasting fulfillment over worldly pursuits.

If you’ve ever wondered how to navigate the fine line between spirituality and faith, or how to let go and let God, this episode will challenge, inspire, and encourage you to deepen your walk with Christ. Tune in to experience the relief and joy of trusting fully in God’s mighty will.

In this episode, I dive into my personal journey from New Age practices to the unwavering truth I’ve found in my Christian faith.

In this Part 2 of Practices I No Longer Do As A Reborn Christina, I discuss Mediumship, Tarot readings, Reiki healing, Shadow work, and how I initially believed these paths could bring me healing, clarity, and self-growth.

We unpack the origins, definitions, and step-by-step processes behind each practice—offering a unique, insider perspective on what lures so many people in.

In addition to how these practices never fulfill the deeper spiritual needs they claim to address. Instead, they personally led me to a relentless cycle of “self-improvement,” comparison, and dissatisfaction. Praise be to God because he opened my eyes and convicted my heart, helping me realize that these methods were counterfeits of the true peace and purpose God offers.

We also take a hard look at the difference between subjective truth—each person’s “truth” being unique to them—and the objective, unchanging truth of the Bible. I discuss how this belief in “my truth” can keep us stuck in cycles of spiritual confusion and constant searching.

I also explore the insidious nature of the spirit of comparison that arises from these practices and philosophies, constantly leaving me questioning, “Why not me?” This endless chase for “alignment” or “manifestation” trapped me in a self-focused loop, always trying to achieve the next level of spiritual growth or enlightenment that never landed.

This journey also taught me that seeking the best version of myself is only possible when I seek it through God’s guidance, not through spiritual fads or trends that lack real substance.

This episode is both a personal reflection and a warning for those who may be dabbling in or deeply involved in New Age practices. If you’re questioning the beliefs and philosophies of New Age healing or curious about how they compare to Christian values, this episode is for you. Tune in as I share how God rescued me from these false promises, replacing them with the true hope, freedom, and purpose that only He can provide.

In this episode, I’m sharing the practices and beliefs I’ve left behind as I stepped into my journey as a new Christian.

From yoga and astrology to manifestations and the law of attraction, I’ll discuss how each of these drew me into self-centered spirituality rather than a relationship with God.

We’ll dive into New Ageism as a pantheistic belief system, where the “Universe” is often seen as a replacement for God, and why I came to realize that these practices were keeping me distant from the true peace I now find in Christ.

I’ll also explain the struggle of discerning between personal “truth” and God’s eternal truth, and how I stopped making excuses for these practices once I began to study the Bible.

For anyone who’s felt torn or confused about their spiritual path, I’ll provide insights on the importance of seeking Godly wisdom over self-made beliefs, and why building a relationship with God is more meaningful than following trends in spirituality.

Together, we’ll reflect on the power of God’s Word, the meaning of sin as separation from God, and the role of caution in protecting our hearts from self-righteous practices. I’ll close with a prayer for guidance, asking God to help us draw closer to Him as we discern His truth.
