Episode 53: Doreen Virtue, Deceived No More (New Age)

One80: Testimonies of Transformation

Doreen Virtue grew up in Christian Science, which opened the door to the occult.

She became the top author in New Age. Her angel worship tarot cards were a huge success and people flocked to her Youtube channel for New Age false wisdom. Not only did she have sold out standing-room only events, but stars were coming to her palatial Hawaii ranch to get readings from her.

"So much deception. It was only through God's grace and mercy that my eyes were opened."

But open they did! One fateful day Doreen was listening to Truth for Life from Alistair Begg as he described a false teacher. "It was the first time I remember consciously the Holy Spirit convicting me." She left New Age behind and was deceived no more, the name of her book.

After becoming a believer, Doreen went to seminary, getting a Master's Degree in Biblical and Theological Studies from Western Seminary. Hear her sound advice on spotting the occult. And learn why New Age and Christianity could never blend.
