Or
I Was a Wizard… Until Jesus Showed Up | Ep. 27
From occult wizard to preaching the gospel. Brother Matthew’s story is one of the wildest journeys from darkness to light you’ll ever hear.
Raised in a Christian home, Matthew grew up knowing about God, Scripture, and church life. But he later discovered the hard way that believing in God is very different from truly believing on Christ. Drawn into martial arts, chi, and Eastern mysticism, he slowly slipped into New Age practices, white magic, and eventually full-blown black magic and spirit conjuring — all while living a double life and still showing up at church.
In this episode, Matthew shares:
• How he went from Bible memory verses and Baptist church to occultism and wizardry
• Why the idea of white magic vs. black magic is a dangerous deception
• What it was like to conjure spirits, do divination, and live a secret double life
• The terrifying night a familiar spirit tried to kill him and he cried out to Jesus
• How the Lord radically saved him in a parking lot and led him to burn his occult items
• The powerful, grace-filled reaction of his wife when he confessed everything
• The difference between oppression and possession and why Christians need to learn spiritual warfare, prayer, and fasting
• How God is now using his testimony to reach witches, Satanists, and other occultists for Christ
