How Jesus Saved Me After 10 Years in New Age- my testimony
2025-09-11 14:28:01
Welcome to the very first episode of Lead with God! In this one, I’m sharing my full testimony — from spending over 10 years in New Age spirituality, working with different healing modalities, psychedelics, and constantly searching for my path… to finally being saved by Jesus. For those of you who followed my previous podcast, this might come as a surprise, since that was the space where I used to share all of these practices. But my heart for this new podcast is to bring you into my journey of how everything shifted, how God started moving in my life, and even how He began influencing the way I see business and leadership. My prayer is that by opening up about my story, you’ll find encouragement for your own walk and see what’s possible when we truly let God lead.
