In Part 6 of our Spiritual Warfare series, I sat down with my friend Katheryn for our very first co-hosted episode - and we will be co-hosting again for a PART 2 of her Story- This one is a "set up" for our next episode into Katheryn's testimony down a dark, twisty road into the New Age Movement! Kathryn is a woman with a radical testimony: raised Catholic, desperate for healing, and slowly drawn into crystals, energy work, tarot, and witchcraft — until one friend's bold obedience to the Holy Spirit changed everything to open her eyes, however, it led to fear, before it led to freedom! We cover a lot of ground in this part 1 episode of her story: Why the enemy doesn't need to force his way in - he works through deception and our unmet legitimate needsHow culturally 'normal' practices (astrology, tarot cards, voodoo, crystals, yoga, manifesting) can be open doors that are not always obvious darknessWhat witchcraft actually is at its rootThe danger of returning to darkness after you've encountered truthThe power of bold, loving confrontation and intercessory prayerWhy the Church's failure to meet real human needs is driving people toward counterfeit community and counterfeit healing This episode is NOT about shame or fear — it is about freedom. We are motivated by love and the call to help set the captives free (Isaiah 61). The challenge of being sober-minded and vigilant with eyes open, and not falling into radicalism, religion, or fear. .it's a fine line, but there IS a line! Part 2 is coming — including more of Katheryn's testimony and a deep dive on yoga and the dark roots and practices that Yoga is steeped in! Stay tuned!
