Raised and Redeemed

Welcome back for Season 4! To kick us off, I'm sharing an episode about why we crave to get high, the solutions I've found, and whether or not (in my experience) the cravings ever go away...

Stay tuned for this season's upcoming episodes including New Age to Jesus testimonies, overcoming adultery in marriage, Jewish to Jesus, evil in the music industry, studies on church history, and more!

Today we're speaking with Ana Barajas, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse who later found herself seeking to soothe those pains and love voids with masturbation and other sexual sins.

The Lord spoke to her and convicted her of her choices, where she started an honest journey of learning to walk with and heal with Him instead. We discuss the love void that leads to sexual immorality, how to determine that masturbation is a sin, and 4 pillars to overcoming sexual addictions.

Ana now mentors other sisters in Christ who are striving to break free from their sexual addictions and learn to walk in complete freedom from the things that keep them bound and in shame.

Have you ever wondered if all ghosts were demons? If "Christian" or "Holy" yoga was possible? If Christians could have demons? Join Ex-Psychic Saved and I as we discuss all this and more.

In this episode, Jenn Nizza tells the story of how she became a psychic medium and how the Lord finally revealed to her she wasn't communicating with ghosts, but with demons.

She's now passionate about helping others recognize spiritual deception since she too was once deceived, and so we'll not only be discussing New Age deception, but also the rise of deliverance ministries and how to spot witchcraft in the church.

Tune in for a thought provoking conversation with two sisters in Christ who have been redeemed from the dark side!

Angela Williams is a survivor-turned-advocate who shares a powerful message of triumph over tragedy by sharing her vulnerable and candid voice about her abuse trauma, her pain, her struggles, and her journey to healing, in hopes that it may help other survivors expedite their healing journey.

In this conversation, Angela discusses the steps to take when a child discloses abuse, her personal journey towards recovery following experiences of sexual abuse and a suicide attempt, signs that may indicate someone has been a victim of sexual abuse, and recommended books for parents, children, and individuals on a path to healing from such trauma.

Though Jess always considered herself to be a believer in Jesus, moving to California and getting exposed to a world of yoga, meditation, avocado toast and open mindedness about spirituality quickly led her into New Age spirituality.

Her identity became one in the same with yoga, branding herself on socials as Yoga Meets Travel. After God told her to give up alcohol, the demons she had been playing with became manifest and she began to make the connections of alcohol and yoga being spiritual doors of darkness. God restored her identity and reminded her of her real name, Jess, and she changed her brand name to Jess Meets Travel.

In this episode we talk about yoga from a Christian perspective, Jess's demonic attacks, how God showed up in miraculous ways through prayer and before she even knew to pray, religion, christ consciousness, and the dark spiritual ties to New Age stuff.

Gabriella's testimony takes us through a battle with demons, PTSD, and a life-changing vision of hell while on psychedelic drugs. Her quest for peace led to an encounter with Jesus, but seeking answers on Google rather than in Scripture led her through a misguided detour into New Age spirituality.

While at an Orange County revivalist event, she reluctantly brought home a Bible. It was then that God exposed her false beliefs and idolatry, and called her to abandon her at time network marketing business and follow him wholeheartedly.

We also discuss the dangers of seeking validation through popularity, cultish leadership in network marketing, and overcoming the consequences of past sexual sin in a new, God-honoring marriage.

Elizabeth grew up in a Christian home, but rebelled into the wrong groups of friends, drug and alcohol abuse, and eventually exotic dancing.

It was in the night clubs that she came into astrology and other New Age spiritual practices, and began opening even more portals to demons. One of which came in the form of her abusive ex-boyfriend, whom she finally escaped in the ultimate climax of her coming home to Jesus testimony.

After grabbing the clip of his gun and making a run for it with only some of her things and no money for gas, the Lord met her in her car and bathed her in his presence of peace. Not only that, but she found the money to make it home on the way, and began to take steps at repairing her life and her relationships once she got there.

Elizabeth shares how God transformed her desires from being attracted to violent criminals, party life, and divination, to her now sweet and compassionate husband, evangelism, and wholesome things of the Lord.
