In this month's episode of Outside the Bubble, I dive deep into the popular concept of manifesting and explore its implications through a Christian lens with my special guest, Rachel Tenney of The Voca Society. Manifesting, often described as the practice of bringing something tangible into your life through attraction and belief, has become a mainstream trend. But is it compatible with Christian beliefs?

Rachel Tenney shares her insights on why manifesting can be problematic for Christians, discussing the spiritual, theological, and practical issues associated with this practice. We'll examine how manifesting contrasts with biblical teachings, and Rachel will offer alternative approaches that align with Christian values and how we can better focus on faith and trust in God’s plans rather than our own desires.

Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the intersection between contemporary spiritual practices and traditional Christian doctrines. Whether you're a believer questioning the concept of manifesting or someone curious about its popularity, this episode provides a clear, informed perspective that's not to be missed.
