Head to Heart

Can something that feels spiritual lead us away from Jesus? In this episode of Head to Heart, I sit down with Paul Risse, author of The Psychedelic Christian, to explore the spiritual dangers of psychedelics for believers. Drawing on his extensive personal experience with psychedelics and his journey to faith in Christ, Paul brings a firsthand perspective to the search for healing, truth, and connection with God. Together, we discuss why discernment matters when pursuing spiritual experiences and the importance of grounding our faith in Jesus.

What if the battles you're facing aren't just emotional, physical, or psychological—but spiritual? In this powerful conversation, Christa sits down with author and speaker Beatty Carmichael to explore the biblical case for hidden spiritual roots behind suffering, recurring struggles, and unanswered prayer. Together they discuss difficult topics including unrepentant sin, unforgiveness, occult involvement, sexual sin, generational patterns, and whether these can create spiritual strongholds that hinder healing and freedom. Beatty shares the biblical principles behind The Prayer of Freedom, explaining why he believes true breakthrough often comes by addressing the root rather than simply managing the symptoms. Whether you're skeptical, curious, or searching for answers, this conversation will challenge you to examine Scripture and consider whether there are unseen spiritual obstacles standing in the way of the freedom Christ offers.

Moses was betrayed by the very people he was called back to liberate.

David was betrayed by the very king he had fought for.

Joseph was betrayed by the very brothers he was called to save.

And Jesus was betrayed right before the cross.

What if we've looked at betrayal incorrectly? What if we've seen it as something to avoid instead of seeing it as an initiation into our destiny? Maybe God uses betrayal to prepare us, expose our hearts, and squeeze every ounce of bitterness and offense into the light where it has to heal?

Betrayal is a gate Jesus had to walk through -- that we all have to walk through. Let's find out it's purposes where we use it to become the version of ourselves God always intended.
