Ex-Witch to Jesus Lover: Halloween, Holiness, and Raising Set-Apart Kids with Angela

Episode summary

Angela grew up around church culture but was discipled more by late-night TV than the Bible. A movie-inspired blood ritual opened a door to the demonic, pulling her into years of witchcraft, addiction, promiscuity, and spiritual deception. Jesus broke in with both tenderness and holy power, leading her out of the occult and into a consecrated life as a mom who now warns the Church about Halloween and calls parents to biblical boldness. This is an unflinching conversation on testing spirits, closing doors, breaking generational curses, and choosing holiness when culture calls it “harmless fun.”

Scriptures highlighted

• 1 John 4:1 – Test the spirits
  
  
• Ephesians 5:11 – Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness
  
  
• Hosea 4:6 – My people perish for lack of knowledge
  
  
• Romans 12:2 – Do not be conformed to this world
  
  
• Matthew 18:6 – Do not cause these little ones to stumble
  
  
• Psalm 91 – God’s protection under His wings
  
  

Key takeaways

• Innocent-seeming media can be an entry point to witchcraft. Test everything by Scripture.
  
  
• The enemy often exploits trauma and vulnerability. Doors open where discernment is absent.
  
  
• “Good witch” is not good. Darkness cannot be redeemed by relabeling it.
  
  
• Halloween is not neutral. Participation is agreement. Parents must lead with the Word.
  
  
• Set-apart families are formed by daily Scripture, worship, and consistent boundaries.
  
  
• Generational curses are broken by repentance, renunciation, and obedience to Jesus.
  
  
• Holiness is costly, but Jesus is better than any counterfeit power or platform.
