107. From the Occult to Orthodox Christianity | Kara Mosher Exposes Psychedelic Deception29 Oct 202501:06:43

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.

94. How to Overcome Anger as a Christian | Thirty Steps to Heaven | The Ladder of Divine Ascent04 Jun 202500:16:34

How do you overcome anger as a Christian? Or the passions like malice and slander that flow from it? In order to overcome it, we have to get to its root: our hearts.

In this episode, we dive into Steps 8–12 of Thirty Steps to Heaven by Fr. Vassilios Papavassiliou, based on The Ladder of Divine Ascent by St. John Climacus. These steps focus on the spiritual passions that flow from pride and poison our relationships:

🤐 Meekness & Loss of Anger

🤐 Remembrance of Wrongs & Malice

🤐 Slander

🤐 Talkativeness & Silence

🤐 Falsehood

The desert fathers saw these not as minor flaws, but as powerful passions that choke out love and disrupt communion with God and others.

Join us as we uncover the path from inner chaos to spiritual peace, learning how to tame the tongue, purify the heart, and walk more freely in Christ’s love.

105. Responding to YOUR comments about Halloween | Why we DO participate15 Oct 202501:00:32

In this video, I’m responding to your comments from my recent post about Halloween. Many of you shared strong opinions—most against celebrating it—and I wanted to take a moment to address those thoughts with honesty, love, and discernment.


As someone who came from a past of extreme darkness—involved in things that truly glorified evil—I understand the concerns many Christians have. But I also know the difference between the demonic and the innocent, and I don’t believe that dressing up, walking with your family, or sharing candy with your community has to be sinful when done with clear boundaries and a heart that remains in Christ.


Let’s talk about how we, as Christians, can approach days like Halloween with spiritual wisdom rather than fear, and how to shine light—even on a night that’s often associated with darkness.


👇 Share your thoughts in the comments! I’d love to hear how your family approaches this day and how you keep your focus on what’s good and godly.

In this episode, we'll explain what OnlyFans is and why it's dangerous for both those consuming it and those producing it. Ultimately, God wants so much more for your life than for you to be bound to sin and exploited by demonic influences.

Jamey Bennett, teacher/catechist at a Greek Orthodox Church, is here today to share the basics of Orthodox Christianity and his testimony to the faith.

Jamey was born into a Mormon family but grew up evangelical protestant. In continuing to search for the truth, he explored the Presbyterian and Anglican churches before finally embracing the Orthodox Church as the true church.

Today we're discussing Jamey's major hangups in coming to the faith and the resolutions he found about icons, saints, Mother Mary, "solo scriptura," salvation, predestination, the difference between Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity, and more.

78. What Led Me To Orthodoxy: Dispensationalism, Christian Zionism & The Rapture Heresy | Amanda17 Apr 202401:15:58

Amanda was once a New Age conspiracy theorist who encountered the Lord, went through a few non-denominational churches, and is now sharing "what led me to Orthodoxy."

104. What does it mean to live liturgically as an Orthodox Christian? Fr. Christian Siskos explains the life of the Church08 Oct 202501:16:23

What does it mean to live liturgically as an Orthodox Christian? In this episode of the Raised & Redeemed podcast, I sit down with Fr. Christian Siskos, Assistant Priest at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Charlotte, NC, and the voice behind Noetic Spring.


Together, we explore how Orthodox Christians can live out the faith daily through prayer, fasting, the feasts, and the sacraments—passing the beauty of Orthodoxy on to future generations.


We discuss the meaning of the Eucharist, the role of women in the Church, head coverings, beauty standards, and how Orthodox Christians can navigate cultural challenges like Halloween, yoga, and modern media. Fr. Christian also shares about his children’s curriculum Little Ascetics, designed to help families nurture faith in their homes.


If you’ve ever wondered how to live a liturgical life, how to participate in the Orthodox cycle of feasts and fasts, or how Orthodoxy responds to today’s hot-button issues—this conversation is for you.

Today we're speaking with Ana Barajas, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse who later found herself seeking to soothe those pains and love voids with masturbation and other sexual sins.

The Lord spoke to her and convicted her of her choices, where she started an honest journey of learning to walk with and heal with Him instead. We discuss the love void that leads to sexual immorality, how to determine that masturbation is a sin, and 4 pillars to overcoming sexual addictions.

Ana now mentors other sisters in Christ who are striving to break free from their sexual addictions and learn to walk in complete freedom from the things that keep them bound and in shame.

69. Unmasking Ghosts, 'Christian' Yoga, Divination, & Deliverance Ministries | Ex-Psychic Saved15 Nov 202300:52:58

Have you ever wondered if all ghosts were demons? If "Christian" or "Holy" yoga was possible? If Christians could have demons? Join Ex-Psychic Saved and I as we discuss all this and more.

In this episode, Jenn Nizza tells the story of how she became a psychic medium and how the Lord finally revealed to her she wasn't communicating with ghosts, but with demons.

She's now passionate about helping others recognize spiritual deception since she too was once deceived, and so we'll not only be discussing New Age deception, but also the rise of deliverance ministries and how to spot witchcraft in the church.

Tune in for a thought provoking conversation with two sisters in Christ who have been redeemed from the dark side!

103. From Charismatic Christian to Orthodox Christian TESTIMONY24 Sep 202501:22:51

✨ In this powerful Orthodox Christian testimony, I sit down with my friend Romy Scates to share her journey of faith—from growing up in the Assemblies of God, to falling away into New Age spirituality, to finally finding her way home to the Orthodox Church.


Raised in the church, Romy never fully forgot that Jesus Christ is Lord. But as she searched for truth, she found herself entangled in the deception of the New Age. Later, as she returned to Christianity, she discovered that many Protestant churches were teaching not only false doctrines but also exposing believers to spiritually dangerous practices.


Her story is one of discernment, repentance, and encountering the fear of the Lord. Ultimately, Romy and her husband found the Orthodox Christian faith, where they experienced the fullness of truth, reverence for God, and the unchanging teachings of the Early Church.


🙏 Whether you are:

~ A Protestant Christian curious about true Christian teachings

~ A seeker leaving the New Age movement

~ Or an Orthodox Christian interested in testimonies of converts…


This episode will inspire you and help you understand why people are finding their true home in the Orthodox Church.

66. The Spiritual Dangers of Yoga, Alcohol, and New Age Practices | Jess Meets Travel25 Oct 202301:32:08

Though Jess always considered herself to be a believer in Jesus, moving to California and getting exposed to a world of yoga, meditation, avocado toast and open mindedness about spirituality quickly led her into New Age spirituality.

Her identity became one in the same with yoga, branding herself on socials as Yoga Meets Travel. After God told her to give up alcohol, the demons she had been playing with became manifest and she began to make the connections of alcohol and yoga being spiritual doors of darkness. God restored her identity and reminded her of her real name, Jess, and she changed her brand name to Jess Meets Travel.

In this episode we talk about yoga from a Christian perspective, Jess's demonic attacks, how God showed up in miraculous ways through prayer and before she even knew to pray, religion, christ consciousness, and the dark spiritual ties to New Age stuff.

64. I Saw Hell on Acid: From New Age Deception To The Prince of Peace | Gabriella Stinson11 Oct 202301:13:33

Gabriella's testimony takes us through a battle with demons, PTSD, and a life-changing vision of hell while on psychedelic drugs. Her quest for peace led to an encounter with Jesus, but seeking answers on Google rather than in Scripture led her through a misguided detour into New Age spirituality.

While at an Orange County revivalist event, she reluctantly brought home a Bible. It was then that God exposed her false beliefs and idolatry, and called her to abandon her at time network marketing business and follow him wholeheartedly.

We also discuss the dangers of seeking validation through popularity, cultish leadership in network marketing, and overcoming the consequences of past sexual sin in a new, God-honoring marriage.

63. Saved From Demons, An Abusive Boyfriend & Stripper Life | Elizabeth Ortega04 Oct 202300:52:43

Elizabeth grew up in a Christian home, but rebelled into the wrong groups of friends, drug and alcohol abuse, and eventually exotic dancing.

It was in the night clubs that she came into astrology and other New Age spiritual practices, and began opening even more portals to demons. One of which came in the form of her abusive ex-boyfriend, whom she finally escaped in the ultimate climax of her coming home to Jesus testimony.

After grabbing the clip of his gun and making a run for it with only some of her things and no money for gas, the Lord met her in her car and bathed her in his presence of peace. Not only that, but she found the money to make it home on the way, and began to take steps at repairing her life and her relationships once she got there.

Elizabeth shares how God transformed her desires from being attracted to violent criminals, party life, and divination, to her now sweet and compassionate husband, evangelism, and wholesome things of the Lord.

62. Childhood Sexual Abuse, Strip Club Demons & Chicago Street Fights | Amanda Toro 27 Sep 202301:04:24

Today we're talking with Amanda Toro, host of the Daughters of Zion Podcast.

Amanda has a heart-wrenching coming to Jesus story, starting with childhood sexual abuse from her biological father. This led to desires being awoken that she didn't ask for, over-sexualization from a young age, and all kinds of teenage rebellion.

Wanting God, but unable to forgive her father, Amanda ran from the church and into the strip club. It was in this lifestyle that she nearly lost her life in Chicago street fights and saw demons manifest in her regular at the strip club.

Finally with the fear of God and willingness to forgive, Amanda came running home to Jesus, ready to give him her all. She now serves other young women like her old self with Daughters of Zion ministries and the Daughters of Zion Podcast.

60. Sexual Assault Led to Depression & PTSD... Only God Could Heal Me | Daniella A.13 Sep 202300:44:12

Daniella grew up in a Christian home and was never interested in parties, boys, or any kind of sexual sin... but then she went off to college and began hearing fellow believers say, "You know you can have sex and not go to hell, right?"

Rather than turning to the Word of God, she listened to her peers who clearly weren't reading their Bibles either. Before she knew it, her environment led to sexual assault, depression, PTSD, and the feeling that all hope was lost.

As a psychiatric nurse, she turned to therapy, exercise, and all other worldly modalities to find healing... But it wasn't until she confessed her sins, repented, and returned home to the Lord that she finally found rest.
