#17: Catholic to New Age to Christian, spiritual attack, evil pretends to be good, and are all these Christians really Christian? | Kristin Giacopelli


Listen Later

Kristin used to travel the world and be super into New Age spirituality, and after finding God she’s finding herself settling down somewhere in the US and discovering who she is now. We discuss how an experience with a demonic spirit following her around and attacking her led her back to Christianity. She talks about discovering Protestantism, how she feels about astrology and those types of things now, being obedient to God, and sanctification. I share my experience with Christianity and how God has changed me. We talk about how our role is not to judge others, lukewarm Christians, navigating friendships through changing political beliefs, being a woman, HouseInhabit, and listening to God. 

Kristin always had a heart for truth, and a mind full of existential questions revolving around what life is and who are we. This curiosity led to explorations of many kinds including a tour around the world focused on breaking familial/cultural programming while also seeking out ancient healing & spiritual traditions. At 18, she renounced the Catholic Church she grew up in and became steeped in the New Age beliefs, she added studies of shamanism, eastern traditions and varying spiritual/energetic practices over the years. The search felt endless and harrowing. After years of spiritual warfare and spending most of her life as a foreigner to both God and America, she returned to each one over the last few years. God led her to receiving Jesus and after learning the Truth of who He is, she was directed back to the USA. After 13 years abroad in Bali & Australia, she's now on a search for a God centered home, husband, community & church. She can be found on Instagram @where_being_resides and on Substack @KristinGiacopelli (more writing to come).
