Can I tell you something? When Andrea first said yes to coming on the podcast, I felt that familiar mix of curiosity and relief. Her story landed with me like a hand to heart because it echoes so many lives I've seen where bright, shiny spiritual practices slowly leave a person dry instead of full. I remember the part she told me about growing up with music, being curious, and how trauma nudged her toward answers that felt immediate but weren't life giving. She lost her father young and later her husband unexpectedly. Those losses became doorways to psychic readings, tarot, crystals, the law of attraction, and all the new age language that promises control and peace. You hear the longing in her voice. You see how easy it is to be seduced by practices that make sense to the mind but don't actually bring wholeness. Here's the thing that stopped me in our conversation. Andrea described a morning in February of 2021 when she came out of her silent practice and felt God speak one sentence to her. He told her this is her year to unlearn. That phrase is a gift and a challenge. It reminded me of Hosea 4:6 where God warns that people perish for lack of knowledge. Andrea's lack was not ignorance of facts alone, it was not yet knowing the deeper life available in Christ. We talked about what it looks like to have faith that is real and practical. She told stories about Clubhouse rooms and finding Christians who spoke Scripture into the cracks of her life. She told of waking up to worship without alarms and how scripture sung can get under your skin in a new way. That small moment of being invited into community helped her move from seeking to belonging. If you are listening and you feel pulled between spiritual systems and a hunger for God, I want you to know I see you. You can practice trusting God in small, tangible ways that change your inner landscape. Andrea's turn toward faith wasn't a single dramatic event so much as a series of gentle course corrections rooted in truth and companionship. Practical steps we pulled from Andrea's story - Slow down the shiny searches and notice what you are longing for. Name the need. - Create a simple rhythm of scripture and short prayers. Start with Psalms or gospel verses that sit well in your mouth. - Find a safe community that will speak biblical truth and pray with you aloud. - Give God permission to unlearn habits. Expect replacement with something better, not emptiness. - Practice small acts of obedience that teach your heart to trust, like thanksgiving each morning or a five minute prayer break. You see, faith grows in ordinary practice not in clever techniques. Andrea's transformation involved grief work, honest confession of what she had embraced, and steady surrender into relationship with Jesus. That is the wholeness we long for. That is real faith in practice. I share this episode because I want you to leave with hope and a few doable next steps. If you feel unsure where to start, try Psalm readings sung or spoken, tell one trusted friend about what you're doubting, and let God guide the unlearning process. Growth in faith is often quieter than we expect but it is no less real. Thank you for listening to this conversation with Andrea on Perspectives Into Practice. Please listen to the full episode, share it with friends who might need encouragement, and leave feedback so we can keep bringing honest, practical stories of walking with God. I'd love to hear what you learned and what steps you're taking next. ## 📝 Related Blogs 4 blog articles inspired by this episode [ ![Featured image for Surrendering Daily to Jesus After New Age: Embracing a Christ-Centered](https://res.cloudinary.com/guidedsteps/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1784922311/perspectivesintopractice/blog/surrendering-daily-to-jesus-after-new-age-embracing-a-christ-centered-1784922310714.jpg) Blog article ## Surrendering Daily to Jesus After New Age: Embracing a Christ-Centered Surrendering daily to Jesus is a fresh start after leaving new age practices.
