You tried the crystals, the ceremonies, the “manifesting”… and you’re still not healed.
You love the idea of “light,” but something in you feels more fragmented, not free.
In this episode, Taylor shares how New Age nearly broke her – and how Jesus, the true Light, met her as a Father when everyone else failed her.

Taylor grew up in a deeply dysfunctional home, with an emotionally absent mother and father, and learned to survive by striving and performing for love. That pain and father wound led her into New Age spirituality, astrology, plant medicine, and shamanism, chasing an experience of “light” that ultimately opened doors to real darkness – including demonic encounters attached to spiritual objects in her home. She shares how Jesus called her out of that deception, revealed Himself as both God and Father, and began to heal her identity and trust. Taylor walks through what it looked like to throw out New Age objects, break agreement with counterfeit spirits, and learn to rest in grace instead of striving. She also talks about what humility actually looks like after spiritual pride, and why we must stop trying to be our own “source” and submit to the real Source.

Episode Takeaways:

– How New Age, “light,” and plant medicine left Taylor more broken – and what finally exposed the deception.

– Why father wounds and performance often push us toward New Age and self-worship instead of surrender to God.

– What it means to recognize spiritual objects and agreements that don’t point to Jesus – and let them go.

– How to move from striving and control to humility, dependence, and real faith in God as Father.

– Practical encouragement if you’ve judged Christians or been hurt by religion but still feel Jesus tugging on your heart.

We don’t glamorize New Age, witchcraft, or sin in this conversation. Taylor is honest about what she did, but the focus is on what Jesus did: exposing deception, bringing deliverance, healing deep wounds, and inviting her into obedience and holiness. Everything is anchored in Jesus as God in the flesh, Scripture as truth, and the need for repentance, not vibes.

If you’ve been in New Age, manifesting, or plant medicine spaces and feel God pulling you out, this testimony is for you. Watch to the end for Taylor’s powerful prayer over listeners and a clear invitation to walk with Jesus.
