From New Age to Catholic Faith: A Shocking Conversion Story

In this gripping episode of the Jesse Romero Show, host Jesse Romero uncovers the deceptive allure of the New Age movement with guest Chris Z, a young man of Maltese descent. Chris shares his deeply personal journey of getting entangled in New Age spirituality during his early 20s, influenced by self-help culture, books like 'The Secret,' and a charismatic mentor. Unaware of the movement’s occult roots, Chris was drawn in by promises of secret knowledge and personal transformation. Jesse provides a historical breakdown of the New Age movement, tracing its origins to ancient paganism, Gnosticism, and modern figures like Oprah Winfrey. The turning point comes when Chris’s fiancé, guided by her devout Catholic mother, sees through the deception, prompting Chris to question the inconsistencies in his beliefs. This powerful story of redemption reveals how Chris found his way back to the Catholic Church, offering hope and warning to those tempted by spiritual counterfeits. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion on faith, deception, and the triumph of Christ’s light over darkness.
