In this episode of When Heaven Calls, Jonas shares his journey from atheism and “higher self” spirituality to Jesus — and how discernment helped him escape New Age false authority, deceptive spiritual leadership, and unhealthy intentional communities.

Jonas never set out to follow a guru. Like many people today, he was sincerely seeking truth, healing, and a connection to God through intuition, inner guidance, and New Age spirituality. Along the way, he encountered environments that claimed spiritual authority, healing power, and even the voice of Jesus — but something didn’t sit right.

In this honest testimony, Jonas reflects on:

• Growing up atheist and searching for meaning
• “Higher self” spirituality and intuitive guidance
• New Age healing sessions and channeled authority
• Recognizing deception and false spiritual leadership
• How discernment exposed what wasn’t from God
• Finding clarity, truth, and grounding in Jesus

This conversation is for anyone who has felt spiritually confused, misled by charismatic leaders, or caught between faith, intuition, and truth — and is learning to discern the difference.

I encourage you to listen all the way through. The clarity at the end is worth the journey.
