Perspectives Into Practice Podcast
January 20, 2026
Finding faith after loss is not always a lightning-bolt moment. Sometimes it is a slow unlearning, a steady yes, and a long road out of spiritual counterfeits. In this episode, Andrea shares how she spent over 30 years immersed in new age practices that looked shiny on the outside, but quietly drained her on the inside. And then in February 2021, everything began to shift.
Andrea takes us back to the early openings, losing her father at 22, seeking answers through astrology, psychics, tarot, crystals, and the whole world of energy, frequency, vibration, and the law of attraction. Later, after her husband died suddenly in his sleep, that searching only intensified. She was carrying deep trauma, depression, unresolved anger, and a constant pressure to fix herself.
Then God interrupted her silent meditation with one clear sentence: "Andrea, this is your year to unlearn." Not long after, she found a Christian room on Clubhouse led by a mindset coach for Christian female entrepreneurs. She stayed quiet for a week, listened, asked questions, and started learning the Bible in a way that surprised her, especially the Old Testament. She discovered The Bible Project videos, watched The Chosen, and had a huge moment of clarity around the Pharisees and why something in her background never fully sat right.
As her spiritual growth deepened, Andrea began recognizing how new age language can echo inside church spaces, and why it is so deceptive. She talks about learning to use her voice, confessing truth out loud, replacing silent affirmations with Scripture, and letting the Holy Spirit convict and prune without condemnation.
This conversation is for anyone who has said "I'm spiritual but not religious" and still felt empty. It is also for the woman who is learning to honor her relationship with the Lord like a covenant, not a trend. Andrea's story is a reminder that decades of darkness cannot stop the light of Jesus from breaking through.
