#16 Unmasking New Age Spirituality

from Carry Your Cross · host Pedro Espinoza

Send us a textIn this conversation, I delve into the deceptive nature of New Age spirituality and its philosophical counterpart, New Thought. I discuss how these belief systems infiltrate culture and even the church, promoting self-empowerment and denying the need for redemption. I emphasize the importance of biblical truth in countering these teachings and highlight the dangers of replacing God with self. I conclude by affirming the true gospel of Jesus Christ as the only source of real hope and redemption.TakeawaysNew Age spirituality promotes self-worship and denies the need for a savior.New Thought teaches that thoughts can control reality and heal the body.These movements offer false hope and burden individuals with unrealistic expectations.Scripture directly confronts New Age and New Thought teachings.The heart is not the ultimate authority; God is.We are not divine; we are dependent on God.Suffering is not a sign of spiritual failure but can deepen faith.Redemption requires repentance, not manifestation.New Age teachings infiltrate the church, masquerading as motivational talks.The true gospel is about receiving new life through Jesus, not self-empowerment.Happy Lies by Melissa Dougherty: https://www.amazon.com/Happy-Lies-Movement-Probably-Self-Obsessed/dp/0310368863/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.-osfcqb5o5jXRXFIBrqm1JHPwCk8dsk2K1PmeEn5kX3-icnNbMs6vZeTfXwBgu2_6A9hOfzXnNPQvAE6FS0jImUQgeW_gmjz7apCMHLCyearG9xF2nF3-VQbILJEw6bdujgoIawCW_7-rNu0WvX56WbnXP01G1_AwQAqhyNS0ZguRvG1V4dPko2njujuKtdf90tI9L238V-moDJMlY5T2h9kxG_CWQsS_MJ77dX9Vg0.F75434r1Cfv7TH5iCwzNO05kEHvaRfZL7SBsTXAwwuY&dib_tag=se&keywords=Happy+Lies&qid=1746985417&sr=8-1 Podcast YouTube: www.youtube.com/@CarryYourCrossStudios Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pespinoza.cyc?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Podcast Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pespinoza.cyc?_t=ZT-90h92JzOlS3&_r=1 Podcast X: https://x.com/pespinoza_cyc?s=21&t=vzzEhA-487cZL4Idn_YHAQ
