In this episode of Contending for the Word, Dave Jenkins is joined by Doreen Virtue to expose a sobering truth: the New Age is not new at all. It is ancient rebellion against God, repeatedly repackaged with modern language, spiritual branding, and even borrowed Christian vocabulary. Drawing from Scripture and Doreen's personal testimony, this conversation shows how old spiritual errors—from Genesis 3 onward—continue to reappear today through practices such as manifestation, crystals, Reiki, channeling, "Jesus consciousness," and self-authority spirituality. What is often marketed as enlightenment is, in reality, spirituality without repentance and deception without submission to Christ. This episode calls Christians back to the sufficiency of Scripture, the authority of God's revealed Word, and the necessity of testing all things (1 Thessalonians 5:21). Discernment is not unloving—it is an act of love for God, His truth, and His people. Key themes include: • Why the New Age is ancient deception in modern packaging. • How Christian language is used to make spiritual counterfeits feel safe. • Truth revealed by Scripture versus truth "discovered" within the self. • The danger of syncretism and spiritual compromise. • Why believers must remain rooted in Christ, His Word, and the local church. This episode is part of the ongoing series Discerning Truth in a Deceptive Age. 📘 New Age Is Old Age by Doreen Virtue: https://amzn.to/3LDN9UX 🎧 More from Contending for the Word: https://servantsofgrace.org/contending-for-the-word/
