Is sex before marriage truly freeing, or is it actually keeping us in cycles of heartbreak and confusion? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I share my journey from dismissing purity as outdated to being fully convicted by the Holy Spirit. I open up about how my past in the “feminine liberated” and New Age worlds shaped my views on sex, how meeting a godly man after my baptism challenged me, and how I came to see God’s design for sex as a blessing, not a restriction. I’m also discussing the clarity of dating without sex, the heartbreak of casual relationships, and how embracing God’s way transformed my desires for marriage and family. If you’ve wrestled with this topic, I pray this episode brings a fresh perspective and a deeper understanding of God’s love and protection.

Can faith in Christ in your darkest moments break the chains of addiction? In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Keilani to hear her incredible testimony about leaving the New Age and finding Jesus. She opens up about her journey as a Reiki healer and spiritual entrepreneur, battling addiction, anxiety, and depression before hitting rock bottom and crying out to God. We also dive into how God led Keilani to start her virtual assistant business, which has given her the flexibility to focus on her walk with Him and minister to others. Keilani shares how obedience, resting in his presence, and being bold in her faith have transformed her life. This is such a powerful conversation, and I know you’re going to feel so encouraged by Keilani’s testimony!

Have you ever wondered if the healing methods you’ve been using are actually keeping you trapped? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, Haley and I talk about how she left New Age trauma therapy after realizing it was built on half-truths that kept people stuck instead of truly healed. As a therapist, she once relied on methods like meditation, sound baths, and self-love practices, but after encountering Jesus, Hayley saw how these approaches lacked real transformation and left the door open to deception. Haley talks about how God completely shifted her understanding of trauma therapy, leading her to rebuild her business and life on His truth. Hayley now helps others break free from worldly healing methods and find real freedom in Christ.

Could an old name, relationship, or identity be holding you back from God’s true calling? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I’m sharing what it’s really like to walk through the wilderness season, when God strips away everything that can’t go with you into the next chapter. Over the past few months, I’ve experienced deep pruning: letting go of relationships, experiencing big business shifts, and even reclaiming my real name after realizing how the enemy uses name changes to alter our destiny. God convicted me about renouncing Elaina Ray–a name I took on in the New Age–and stepping back into the identity He gave me through my family, Elaina Giolando. If you’re feeling the weight of isolation, loss, or loneliness during your own wilderness season, hear this: God is preparing you for something greater. Stay faithful, because He is making a way.

How does God use discomfort and conviction to lead us back to Him? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I sit down with Brittany to hear her incredible journey from living in the New Age community in Bali to finding true freedom in Jesus. Brittany opens up about the discomfort she began to feel in spaces filled with New Age practices, which led her to leave Bali and return to her hometown of Detroit. There, she had an overwhelming encounter with the Holy Spirit that completely transformed her life. We also explore how her baptism delivered her from old habits and ushered her into a year-long wilderness season in Georgia, where she embraced solitude, deepened her faith, and experienced profound spiritual renewal. Brittany’s testimony is a moving reminder of God’s power to redeem and restore, no matter how far we’ve wandered.

About Brittany:

Brittany Bennett went from Bali to the Bible belt and is devoted to sharing her powerful New Age to Christianity story.

What happens when the church, meant to be a place of refuge, becomes a source of pain? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I talk with Taylor Simpson, founder of Untamed University, to explore her journey from church hurt and family heartbreak to discovering a true faith in Christ. Taylor shares her story of growing up as the daughter of a Lutheran pastor who built a thriving church from the ground up, until her father’s double life came to light. His affairs with parishioners shattered their family, leading Taylor to walk away from God completely, turning to drugs, alcohol, and hollow New Thought practices. Taylor shares how, through God’s relentless grace, she found healing and rebuilt her faith, proving that God can restore what feels broken beyond repair.

How do you tell your New Age following you’ve found Jesus? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I’m chatting with my friend Katharina Grace about her journey from being a New Age coach in Bali to finding Jesus after a life-changing motorcycle accident. Kat opens up about how hard it was to let go of her identity as a “spiritual teacher” and all the new age practices she used to teach—everything from Kundalini to Tantra to deity worship. Kat shares how she completely transformed her coaching business to serve Christian women instead, including taking a full year offline to be in “the secret place” with God, rebuilding with a Biblical foundation, and learning to trust God’s timing. If you’re trying to figure out how to transition your business to Christianity without burning everything down, you’re going to love hearing how God walked with Kat through every step of her transformation.

About Katharina:

Katharina Grace is a mentor who is firmly rooted in Christ and supports women in restoring and deepening their relationships to God. After almost a decade in new-age spirituality, a serious accident brought her home to Christ. A renewal began taking place in all areas of her life that also included her coaching practice.

She is devoted to supporting women from living in a state of seeking to a life in peace through coming into beloved identity and restoring femininity through the lens of biology and God’s laws.

A foundational part of Katharina’s work is about cultivating safety in our own bodies, growing in our ability to self-source and establishing a healthy inner frame to meet the masculine in life from a place of self-responsibility, maturity and a woman’s posture from knowing God’s love, first.

Katharina is also supporting women in business and ministry as they follow their God-given assignments from a place of deep listening and obedience to His call.

What happens when God meets you right where you are, even in the heart of the New Age capital of the world? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I chat with Christine Lee, a life purpose coach from Bali, who reveals how her upbringing in Buddhist and Taoist traditions, combined with the allure of New Age practices, left her searching for identity, love, and purpose. It wasn’t until she fully surrendered her life to Jesus that she experienced true freedom and transformation. Now, Christine dedicates her life to helping women heal through Christ-centered coaching while actively serving in a thriving church in Bali, where God’s love is drawing spiritual seekers from all backgrounds back to Him.

About Christine:

Christine is a faith-based life & relationship coach with a remarkable story of transformation, moving from New Age practices to a Christ-centered life.

However, after years of seeking, her path led her to a profound relationship with God that transformed her life and purpose. Now based in Bali, Christine guides others, especially women, on their journeys of healing attachment wounds and restoring faith through practical steps and Christ as the foundation. Her approach blends mindset work, spiritual renewal, and actionable tools that empower her clients to step confidently into their divine identity and purpose.
