Show Notes
In this episode, we open up about a season where we were searching for healing, truth, and spiritual fulfillment everywhere except God. From New Age practices to witchcraft and counterfeit spirituality, we share how deception can look like light when you don’t yet know the truth.
We talk honestly about why these paths felt appealing, what drew us in, and how they ultimately left us more confused, anxious, and spiritually empty. This episode isn’t about condemnation—it’s about exposure, discernment, and how God lovingly pulled us out of places we didn’t even realize were harming us.
This is part of our full testimony series leading up to the moment everything changed.
