Broken Cisterns-Episode 3-Chapter 2-Broken Cisterns

  Welcome to the Broken Cisterns Podcast on Senetru Radio — a chapter-by-chapter journey through Broken Cisterns: From New Age to New Covenant, the newest book from Senetru, written by Susannah LaPoint. Episode 3 | Chapter 2 — Broken Cisterns When the institution fails you, the world offers no shortage of replacements. Self-help. Personal growth. Healing modalities. New Age spirituality. Each one promising what the last one couldn't deliver. Each one carved a little deeper and came back a little more empty. In this episode we go deep into the chapter that gives the book its name. Susannah walks through the years she spent trying to fix herself by herself — the journals filled with the same sentence on different pages, the coaching programs, the oracle cards, the Reiki certifications, the breathwork ceremonies — and the moment she realized the entire toolkit she had spent years building was completely useless against what had walked in through the door she had left open. This episode also pulls in both Kenny and Susannah's stories — from New Age thinking to working inside homeless services, watching a broken system try to fix broken people with broken tools, and what it looks like when Yahweh begins to make His calling impossible to ignore. And then there is the spirit realm. This episode does not treat it lightly — and it does not let either world off the hook. The institutional church and the New Age world operate differently on the surface, but the enemy works through both. He does not announce himself. He works through thoughts that feel like your own, feelings that feel like confirmation, and coordinated signals that feel like the universe speaking — or like the Spirit moving. The New Age world has built an entire architecture around these mechanisms and called it awakening. The institutional church has done the same thing and called it anointing. This episode names what both actually are — and what it took to get free. "For My people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn themselves cisterns — broken cisterns that can hold no water." — Jeremiah 2:13 You cannot fill what was never meant to hold you. And you cannot get free by yourself from something that got in while you were trying to. 📘 Broken Cisterns: From New Age to New Covenant, Return to Me: Restoring the Hearts of the Children to the Father, A Brood of Vipers: The History of Corruption in the Institutional Church, Carry the Light: The End of Self-Rule, The False Door, and Unmasking the Beast, along with the Senetru Answers research tool, are available at www.senetru.com
