Ep.1- 17 things learnt before I turnt 50

We test modern claims about witchcraft and occult power against scripture and lived experience, drawing a sharp line between borrowed influence and Christ’s authority.

We press into the tension between fantasy and faith, asking whether modern magic, energy work, and ritual are harmless symbols or real spiritual frameworks that rival obedience to God.

We draw a hard line between cultural calm and the gospel, arguing that peace without repentance and unity without truth cannot save. Scripture anchors the call: deny self, follow Jesus, and wear the armor of God in a loud spiritual war. • why “look within” differs from deny yourself • Jesus as the only way, not one of many • the lure of false peace and soft labels for sin • repentance before heali...
