If you have been on the internet in some compacity you have seen this sociological phenomenon unfold. A resurgence of new-age practices and worship. It's nothing new, but it comes in waves just like everything does. We have seen it resurge in the last 5 years, and have seen it change. It has now been seen in the church and in believers' lives.

Could there be a possible middle ground? Join Blake this week to discuss what exactly is New Age, and how both can impact believers today. Be sure to comment, leave a review, and join Blake on her Instagram to continue this discussion after you listen!
