Friends, do not miss this episode. In its entirety. ---Michele Gower was raised in a loving, middle-class family in Sydney, Australia. Though baptized in the Church of England, religion played little role in her early life. Her parents were kind, community-oriented people but had no strong religious beliefs. As a teenager, she chased popularity, partied on weekends, dabbled in light drugs, and barely got by in school. Yet she remained active in sports, volunteered, and was known as a loyal friend. At 17, she met Rohan—a respectful, calm young man whose peaceful nature stood out. The following year, her life shattered when her father died suddenly of a heart attack the morning after her graduation. From that moment, she rejected the idea of a loving God, asking bitterly, “What kind of God would take a father from his daughter on her graduation day?”As adulthood unfolded, she and Rohan got married, had four children, and settled into a life on the Central Coast. Though she had no faith, she supported the decision to send their children to Catholic school. Her husband had been raised Catholic, and she assumed he could guide them spiritually. Over time, she began to feel strangely moved during school Masses. Often, she would sit in church and cry without understanding why. While she appreciated the values of kindness and service taught in the Catholic school, she was simultaneously diving deeper into New Age spirituality—tarot, clairvoyants, energy healing, and a fascination with the supernatural. The more she pursued these practices, the more her connection to reality began to fray.Eventually, she experienced a complete breakdown. Voices, paranoia, terrifying visions, and a crushing emptiness took over her mind. Admitted to a mental health facility, she was heavily medicated and nearly unrecognizable to her loved ones. But one day, sitting alone by a locked glass door, she felt an overwhelming warmth fill her chest—a powerful, soul-filling explosion of light. In that moment, she heard a message in her heart: “Convert to the Catholic Faith, and you and your family will be saved.” Though she didn’t fully understand it, that moment marked a turning point. She began to believe that God was real—and that He was reaching out to her in mercy.The weeks leading up to her reception into the Church were filled with intense spiritual battles. Demonic attacks, confusion, and despair tried to derail her. But friends who understood the dangers of the occult prayed with her, taught her to say the Rosary, and reminded her that God never lets go of His children. Through Confession and the Eucharist, she began to heal. The torment in her mind lifted, layer by layer. She experienced true peace for the first time in her life—peace that surpassed all understanding. Slowly, the angry, obsessive, controlling version of herself faded, replaced by someone more joyful, grounded, and free...#CatholicConversion #ExNewAge #JesusSavedMe #SpiritualWarfare #DeliveredFromDarkness #FromNewAgeToJesus #CatholicTestimony #OccultToChrist #EucharisticHealing #LeavingTheOccult #ChristianTestimony #FreedomInChrist #Catholic #CatholicFaithJourney #AmazingGrace▶To support this channel, visit eddietrask.com/sponsorship🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONVERSION STORIES: @CatholicReCon Conversion stories are shared weekly.
