I Used to Read Birth Charts and Horoscopes Until I Learned... | Occult to Orthodoxy Series (Part 16) | Ep. 130
I used to read birth charts and deeply identify with my zodiac sign — until I found my true identity in Christ. In this post, I share my honest journey from astrology into Orthodox Christianity, including the history of astrology, what Scripture and the Church Fathers say about it, and why even the Magi's encounter with a star points us away from the zodiac and toward Jesus.
How Psychics Know Things... And Their SOURCE of Info | Occult to Orthodoxy Series (Part 15) | Ep. 129
What if the voice on the other side of a psychic reading isn't who the medium says it is?

The Spiritual Dangers of SHADOW WORK No One Tells You | Occult to Orthodoxy Series (Part 13) | Ep. 127
Shadow work promises to make you whole by integrating your darkness — but the Orthodox Church has a 2,000-year-old answer to that same longing, and it looks completely different. As someone who spent years in New Age spirituality, did the retreats, embraced the shadow, and ended up in some of the darkest moments of my life, I can tell you firsthand that integration is not the same as healing. In this episode, I break down where shadow work came from, what Carl Jung actually taught, and why Orthodox Christianity doesn't offer integration — it offers something far greater. Not a seat at the table for your darkness, but the transformation of it. Not integration. Resurrection.

Is the search for your "other half" leading you closer to God or into a spiritual trap?
