What Every Christian Should Know About New Age Practices | A Former Witch's Story
Shownotes
Manifesting. Crystals. Astrology. Tarot cards. Burning sage. Angel numbers.
These practices have become increasingly common in today's culture, but what does the Bible actually say about them?
In this episode, I'm joined by a former practicing witch who shares her powerful testimony of how Jesus Christ rescued her from the New Age movement and transformed her life.
Rather than approaching this conversation from theory, she speaks from personal experience, offering biblical wisdom for Christians navigating a culture where spiritual deception is often packaged as harmless self-help or wellness.
We discuss:
• What the Bible says about witchcraft and the occult
• Manifesting and why Christians should NOT be doing it
• Astrology and horoscopes
• Crystals for healing or protection
• Tarot cards
• Burning sage to "clear energy"
• Angel numbers
• Mediums and psychics
• Spiritual deception in today's culture
• How to lovingly respond when friends or family embrace New Age practices
• The hope and freedom found in Jesus Christ
Whether you've encountered these practices personally, have children growing up in today's culture, or simply want to understand what Scripture teaches, this conversation will help you discern truth from deception with both conviction and compassion.

At Raising Rock, we thoughtfully and prayerfully vet the guests we invite onto our podcast. While we are unlikely to feature guests whose beliefs or values stand in direct opposition to the mission and principles of Raising Rock, we also recognize that no two individuals or ministries align perfectly on every issue.
Some of our guests may hold differing opinions, have varying approaches to certain topics, or share content on their personal platforms that does not fully reflect all of Raising Rock's views and convictions. Featuring a guest on our podcast should not be interpreted as a full endorsement of every belief, opinion, product, or piece of content they have shared.
Our desire is to engage in meaningful conversations that encourage families, promote wisdom, and point parents toward raising children with strong character and faith. As always, we encourage our audience to thoughtfully consider all content through the lens of Scripture and with discernment.
