Raised & Redeemed – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Today, Kara Mosher shares her journey from the occult to Orthodox Christianity and exposes psychedelic deception. Before encountering Christ, psychedelics were her god, yet never healed her or brought her peace. While she thought they were leading her to truth in the spirit realm, they were only leading her further into darkness and occult training.

In this episode of the Raised & Redeemed podcast, host Michaela Nikolaenko talks with Kara Mosher, author of Here Comes Trouble and host of the Let’s Be Friends Podcast, about her journey from psychedelic “enlightenment," mental illness, and demonic oppression to finding the true Light in Orthodox Christianity.

This week Ashley Emig, @ashleys.testimony and I dive deep into our experiences coming out of the New Age. She tells her story of how she grew up craving connection that was never able to be filled with family, food, or any New Age practice. Jesus left the 99 to meet her where she was at and never judged her for any of the deceptions she found herself under. Listen to the full story on Podcast or YouTube!

Not everyone who preaches love and light is actually leading you to that! If the teachers you’re following aren’t directing all hope back to Jesus, you may want to take a second look at who the real source is behind their teaching.    In this video I explain how Satan tried to destroy my life through the influence of false teachers and how to spot them so he doesn't do the same to you!
