    S2 Ep. 7 | From Manifestation to Biblical Stewardship: Rebuilding After Surrendering My New Age Business to Jesus (w/ Sophia DiMuccio)

    Have you ever felt the Holy Spirit ask you to lay something down before you could see what He would rebuild? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I sit down with Sophia DiMuccio to talk about navigating the in-between after closing down a new age coaching business and surrendering every part of it to Christ. Sophia shares how she was raised in the law of attraction teachings and built a successful online brand rooted in manifestation and mindset. After encountering Jesus and giving her life fully to Him, she tried to simply add God into what she had already built, but the Lord began to reveal that the foundation itself was not aligned with His Word, and obedience meant letting it all go. She opens up about delayed obedience, financial pressure, stepping away from social media, and walking through a humbling season of decrease. Instead of chasing high ticket launches, God began teaching her biblical financial stewardship, renewing her mind through Proverbs, and rebuilding her character from the ground up. We talk honestly about overpricing, hype culture in the coaching industry, and what it means to use honest scales before the Lord. Most of all, this episode is a reminder that Jesus redeems what we surrender. There is no wasted time in His hands. If you are in the in between after obedience, trust that God is not finished. He is rebuilding on rock, and He will restore what was laid down for His name. About Sophia: Sophia is a follower of Jesus, podcaster, and public speaker with a background as a six-figure business coach. After encountering the living God, her work shifted from building personal success to serving the Kingdom. Today, she shares her testimony, exposes New Age counterfeits, and points people back to the truth, authority, and freedom found in Christ. She co-hosts Meet Me At The Altar and creates faith-centered content to help others walk fully in the light.

    S2 Ep. 6 | What Changed in My Business After I Left the New Age and Followed Jesus w/ Victoria Washington

    What happens when Jesus asks you to lay down everything you built without Him and trust Him to rebuild it?   In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I sit down with Victoria Washington for an honest conversation about leaving the New Age, confronting mixture in business, and surrendering success fully to Jesus. Victoria shares her journey from yoga, manifestation, and ancestral practices into a real encounter with Christ that transformed her identity, her finances, and the way she now leads and builds.   She opens up about bankruptcy, addiction, and spiritual emptiness, and how Jesus delivered her during a 40-day consecration that marked the beginning of true repentance and sanctification. As her faith deepened, God began dismantling the business models, beliefs, and platforms she built apart from Him, inviting her to start again on new soil.   Together, we talk honestly about the unraveling of the coaching industry, the cost of obedience, and the fear and freedom that come with letting God redefine success. Victoria also shares how surrender led to She Shall Speak, a Spirit-led movement where women are encountering Jesus, finding their voice, and stepping into God's design for their lives.   If you are navigating faith, business, or the painful process of letting go, this episode is a reminder that Jesus restores what we surrender and brings resurrection where we least expect it.   Resources: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmqOWOdX07e4ybHJFOZKnjUUBTe68VxP-&si=6_aRadw4yOz-IVoE

    S2 Ep. 5 | The Truth Behind Shadow Work, Gene Keys, and Joe Dispenza - The Deception of Self-Help Spirituality Revealed w/ Jenn Mann

    What happens when you've tried every self-help framework, spiritual practice, and healing modality and still feel empty, confused, or bound? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I sit down in the studio with my dear friend Jenn Mann for a powerful, honest conversation about her journey out of New Age spirituality and into a life fully surrendered to Jesus. Jenn shares how practices like Gene Keys, shadow work, energy healing, psychedelics, and Joe Dispenza retreats promised clarity and transformation, but ultimately led her deeper into striving, confusion, and spiritual darkness. Together, we talk about how our friendship was strained when I came to faith first, how God asked us to trust Him with the separation, and how Jesus later met Jenn in a deeply personal moment of surrender that changed everything. Jenn explains the subtle deception of self-help spirituality, the absence of repentance in New Age frameworks, and the freedom she found when she stopped trying to become her own god and let Jesus take His rightful place. This episode is a compassionate but clear invitation to anyone caught between Christianity and New Age practices, wondering why peace still feels out of reach. Jenn's testimony reminds us that repentance is not shameful, surrender is not weakness, and true transformation only comes through the power of the Holy Spirit. If you feel stuck, tired of striving, or unsure which voice to trust, this conversation is a reminder that Jesus is still pursuing hearts, restoring friendships, and calling His children home.   About Jenn: Jenn Mann is a former engineer and ex–New Age practitioner who spent years teaching spiritual frameworks like astrology and Gene Keys before a life-altering encounter with Jesus transformed everything. Today, her life and work are fully centered on Him. Today, she is the Founder and CEO of Meet at the Mirror, Austin's fastest-growing community of intentional singles, built through word-of-mouth and in-person experiences that foster real, healthy relationships. A motivational speaker and people-centered problem-solver by calling, Jenn is passionate about transforming modern dating by bringing more Jesus into it: more grace, integrity, and love, the way He taught.

    What does it look like when God takes a broken love story and writes something entirely new?   In this episode of Kingdom Builders, Elaina sits down with Michelle Lee Haynes for a powerful testimony of redemption, surrender, and obedience. Michelle shares her journey from striving, performance, and New Age spirituality into a fully surrendered life with Jesus. She opens up about walking through deep loss, including divorce, grief, addiction, and identity struggles, and how God used those painful seasons to strip away false foundations and rebuild her life on truth.   Michelle talks honestly about divorce, shame, and healing, and how Jesus met her in the wilderness and became her first love. She shares how fasting, repentance, and obedience transformed her heart, broke off striving, healed generational patterns, and prepared her to become a wife. Through prayer and a 50 day fast rooted in seeking Jesus rather than chasing outcomes, God redeemed her love story in a way only He could.   This episode is a testimony of how God restores what the enemy meant for harm, how singleness can be sacred, and how Jesus prepares His daughters for the promises He has for them. If you have ever felt behind, disqualified, or unsure if God could redeem your story, this conversation is an invitation to believe again and trust that nothing surrendered to Jesus is ever wasted.   About Michelle: Michelle Lee Haynes is a Christ-led Life Coach, Speaker, and Creative Visionary helping women experience heaven on earth through Spirit-led transformation.

    S2 Ep. 3 | Freed From a Multi-7-Figure New Age Empire w/ Kamila Surma

    Have you ever surrendered your life to Jesus only to find your business, your identity, and everything you built start unraveling in the process?   In this episode of Kingdom Builders, Elaina sits down with Kamila Surma to share her powerful testimony of coming out of ten years in new age, meeting Jesus at the height of her multi–seven-figure career, and learning to rebuild her business on a completely new foundation. Kamila opens up about God exposing deception, purifying her income, releasing clients, surrendering products, and letting go of the identity she once built around success.   Together they explore what happens when the Holy Spirit confronts our attachment to money, performance, and self-made achievement, and how Jesus replaces striving with peace, simplicity, and true stewardship. Kamila's story is a reminder that when God tears down what was never rooted in Him, He always rebuilds something better.   May this conversation encourage you to trust Jesus with your business, your finances, and your identity, and to follow Him wherever He leads.   About Kamila: Kamila Surma — a faith-led business mentor and leadership coach.

    S2 Ep. 2 | Delivered From a Money and Success Driven Identity w/ Holly Loxton

    Have you ever tried to follow Jesus while still holding on to old tools of manifestation, money rituals, or New Age identity, only to find everything falling apart? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, Elaina sits down with Holly Loxton to share her powerful story of coming out of witchcraft, breaking agreement with mammon, and learning to rebuild her entire life and business with Jesus at the center. Holly opens up about losing her ability to manifest, watching her business collapse, and hitting the end of herself before encountering the real Jesus. She explains how God stripped away counterfeit safety, taught her true stewardship, and delivered her from the money-driven identity that once defined her. Together they explore why vision boards, "soft sorcery," and self-led abundance work cannot mix with the gospel, how God lovingly disrupts what's built on the wrong foundation, and what freedom feels like on the other side of surrender. May this conversation point you back to the voice of Jesus, the truth of Scripture, and the peace that comes when we let Him break every counterfeit source of identity and provision in our lives.   About Holly: Once deeply immersed in the New Age and self-development world, Holly spent years chasing light without ever finding peace. She built a name for herself as a trauma therapist and coach, but beneath the achievements was a soul still searching for truth. Everything changed when she encountered the living God. What she used to call "universe" revealed Himself as Jesus—the only true Source of healing, power, and peace. She burned every false altar, surrendered her life, and now walks fully submitted to the Holy Spirit. Today, Holly helps others come out of deception and into divine healing and alignment through the modality that God gave her called The Soteria Method —a Spirit-led approach that restores the body, renews the mind, and heals the heart through the presence of God. Her work is rooted in Scripture, guided by the Holy Spirit, and she is devoted to seeing people free from survival patterns, counterfeit spirituality, and emotional bondage—so they can rebuild from identity in Christ.  Her Instagram: @hollyloxton__ Holly's website: www.hollyloxton.com

    S2 Ep. 1 | Clearing Up the Mary Magdalene & Gnostic Gospel Myths w/ Nina Ickes

    Have you ever wondered why so many women feel drawn to Mary Magdalene, yet end up wrestling with confusion, mixture, or even counterfeit teachings about who she really was?   In this episode of Kingdom Builders, Elaina welcomes back guest Nina Ickes to unpack the truth of who Mary Magdalene actually was according to Scripture. Nina shares her journey of leaving mixture and New Age teachings, learning to trust the Bible, and discovering the beauty of how Jesus honored and commissioned women. Together they address why gnostic texts are untruthful, how confusion around the feminine keeps women bound, and why the true gospel honors women and brings freedom instead of striving. This conversation will strengthen your confidence in God's Word and equip you to lovingly walk with women who are wrestling. May it lead you back to the simplicity of Jesus, the power of Scripture, and the freedom found in truth.   About Nina: Nina is a faith based & feminine embodiment mentor for women who are devoted to bringing love where it hasn't gone before.

I talk about moving away from performance and striving—especially in spiritual spaces—and coming back to the finished work of the cross.

In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I'm talking with Jillian Anderson about what it looked like to walk away from her old beliefs, lose pretty much everything in her business, and start over with Jesus at the center. We got into what ascension theory actually teaches, why she started questioning it, and how reading the Bible with the intent to disprove it ended up completely changing her life. Jillian shared about the fallout she faced, including clients leaving and friends cutting her off, and the slow, real process of learning how to hear God and rebuild her business without the New Age fluff. This conversation is honest, deep, and full of encouragement for anyone in the thick of laying it all down for the truth.   About Jillian: Jillian Anderson is a Positioning Expert + Lead Copywriter who has an extensive background in women's holistic health.   She's worked with over 250 clients from across 55 countries and now specializes in Market Positioning, Messaging Strategy, and High Performance Sales Copy — the kind that sounds like you and sells way better.    Originally from northern New Jersey, Jillian now lives in South Carolina with her husband and children.

    Could purity be the most powerful choice you make? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I sat down with Holly to talk about what happens when we try to seek healing, empowerment, and identity outside of God's design, and how the Lord brings us home. We talked about the truth behind the feminine "liberation" movement, why purity isn't about shame but about reverence, and how God's design for union and intimacy is so much better than anything the world offers. Holly also shared what it's looked like to rebuild her business from the ground up to serve the Kingdom and walk in truth. If you've felt confused about sex, purity, or what real freedom in Jesus looks like, this episode is going to bring some serious clarity and peace.   About Holly: Holly Wheeler is a Faith-Based Intimacy Mentor, guiding women in their maturation from lover maiden into mother bride, and preparing them for God-led Union.

    Ep. 34 | The Spiritual Battle Behind Body Image for Women w/Lina Cardozo

    Why do so many women struggle with body image, wrestle with their femininity, and seek constant male validation? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I sit down with Lina Cardozo, a women's fitness coach, to talk about what it really means to reclaim your God-given identity. We cover everything from the spiritual battle behind body image issues to how Lina helps women work with their cycle and build true confidence rooted in Christ. We also dig into the deeper layers of identity attacks, especially how the enemy targets women, and how God's restoration transforms every part of our lives, even when our prayers seem unanswered. If you've ever been stuck in cycles of not loving your body, feeling great when you're in a relationship and like a failure when you're single, or feeling chronically misunderstood or criticized by others, this is for you.   About Lina:  I'm Lina, former bodybuilding athlete, certified coach and founder of the Fit & Magnetic Formula. For years, I chased the perfect body through extreme diets, bad decisions in the world of bodybuilding, and a mindset rooted in constant doing. I ignored my cycle, disconnected from my body, and found myself trapped in years of yo-yo dieting, gaining and losing 12 to 14 kilos over and over again. Everything began to shift when I realized that true transformation isn't just physical, it starts in the mind. Through healing my habits, my identity, and ultimately surrendering my life to Jesus, I discovered the freedom and lightness I had searched for all along. Today, I help women in their 20s to 40s build strong cores, sculpted glutes, and a feminine silhouette. Without restriction, without hustle, and without idolizing their bodies. My coaching is rooted in smart strategy, structure, and spiritual alignment.

    Ep. 33 | Called, Consecrated & Commissioned: God's Reformation of the Coaching Industry w/ Debbie Buckland

    What if your biggest business breakthrough isn't scaling, but surrender? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I'm talking with Debbie Buckland, a bold daughter of God walking in obedience through the coaching industry, about the moment God interrupted her success and began building her business on His terms. We talk about the season we're in where the Lord is purifying the coaching space and inviting women to trade flashy gifting for the authority that comes from consecration. We discuss the prophetic words God is releasing for women in business right now, and how to discern between a gifting that's God-anointed versus one that's just flashy and flesh-driven. Debbie and I also walk through the seasons of being called, consecrated, and commissioned, and how to recognize which one you're in. This one's for the coaches who are ready to be refined, repositioned, and sent out for Kingdom impact.   About Debbie:  Debbie Buckland is a Kingdom mentor, speaker, and prophetic voice—called to awaken and mobilize women into their God-ordained assignments, anchored in purity, immersed in His presence, and walking in the power of God.   After building a multi-six-figure international coaching business rooted in self-teachings and personal growth, she encountered the mercy of God through a divine dismantling that exposed the counterfeit success she had built in her own strength. It was in the hidden years—off the stage, off social media, and in her home—that the Lord rewrote her assignment and what emerged was not a brand, but a mantle. She now equips women to surrender self-sufficiency, choose holiness over hustle, and rise in their true identity as set-apart daughters—clothed in purity, anchored in purpose, and walking boldly in their Kingdom calling. These women are being raised to build marketplace ministries that carry eternal weight and steward wealth for the glory of God.   Her invitation is clear: be purified, positioned, and prepared for your Kingdom assignment.

    Ep. 32 | From New Age Design Agency to Kingdom Creative w/ Ria Johnston

    How do you know if you're actually hearing from the Holy Spirit, or just your own desires? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, Ria and I talk about how she walked away from New Age practices, deleted her entire online presence, and rebuilt her business with Jesus at the center. Ria shares the truth behind her six-figure design agency, how she used to attract clients through manifestation and spiritual coaching networks, and why she knew she had to surrender it all. We talk about the moment she encountered the Holy Spirit, the 21-day fast God called her into before confirming her husband, and what it looks like to serve clients and intercede for them in the secret place. This conversation is such a beautiful picture of obedience, conviction, and God's redemptive power.   About Ria: Today, we're speaking with Ria Johnston. Ria is a follower of Jesus, a wife, the daughter of two entrepreneurs and the founder of Studio Kind—a branding agency that helps visionary leaders elevate their online presence through strategic branding and web design.

    Ep. 31 | From Millions to Bankruptcy and Back with Jesus w/ Seth Kniep

    What does it look like to go from street evangelism to global influence…and from millions to bankruptcy and then back again? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I sit down with Seth to talk about what it really looks like to build a kingdom business after a worldly business falls apart. Seth shares how his $50 million coaching company collapsed after the COVID boom, why he filed for bankruptcy, and how God used that season to strip away pride and rebuild him on a stronger foundation as a kingdom business owner. We talk about biblical stewardship, why tithing and financial discipleship matter, and how to evangelize boldly as a business owner without watering down the truth. This conversation will challenge and encourage anyone seeking to honor Jesus in the marketplace.   About Seth:  My name is Seth Kniep, kniep'n it real. I'm a former professional tap dancer, talk radio host, and terrible sinner saved by a merciful God.    I married KK so I could date her the rest of my life and we have four adult children. Fifteen years ago we almost blew up our marriage, but by God's grace, we learned how to start taking ownership for our own crap and found healing.    I used to work for Apple, out-selling 800 sales agents. But I found my freedom from the corporate world by doubling a dime 20 times to over $100,000, then scaled that to an 8 figure coaching company.   I founded three physical product companies, trained over 10,000 entrepreneurs from 150+ countries, and have consulted for brands like BMW, Forever 21, and Amazon.    I lost it all during the pandemic, filing corporate and personal bankruptcy, and at one point had to sell furniture from my house so we had money to buy groceries.    God used this tragedy to reprioritize my heart and remind me that my worth comes from God's love for me. Jesus' blood was the price of my soul.    Today, I teach men who love Jesus how to build wealth, turning their area of expertise into a course while discipling others. This is my life mission.  Connect with Seth: https://sethkniep.com/

    Ep. 30 | How Reiki Led Me Into Spiritual Oppression w/Elena Smale

    What happens when the "light" of the New Age starts to feel more like darkness? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I sit down with Elena Smale to unpack her journey from being a Reiki practitioner and energy healer to fully surrendering her business and life to Christ. She shares how her sessions often felt powerful and transformative at first, but over time, she struggled with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and spiritual oppression. After encountering Jesus, Elena renounced Reiki, tarot, crystals, and other occult practices, experiencing true deliverance and the lasting peace she had been searching for. We unpack the deception behind energy healing, the demonic exchanges happening beneath the surface, and how Jesus alone brings real healing and freedom.  About Elena: Elena Smale is a servant leader for the kingdom of God. After coming out of the all different kinds of darkness (binge drinking / party culture, idolizing partners / many heartbreaks, New Age spirituality) and into the true Light of Christ, Elena's calling was revealed through her testimony -- which is to expose darkness and help others become free in Jesus. This includes guiding others through deep transformation of inner healing, deliverance, and really understanding their identity, gifts and purpose here on this earth. She is excited to expand on the vision that God gave her for Fruitful Experiences which is a movement that embraces sharing testimonies, building community, and curating events / retreats with God at the center of it all.  You can connect with Elena @elevatebyelena on Instagram or on her Youtube channel.

In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I'm joined by Jenny Joy, a full-time deliverance minister who knows firsthand what it's like to be set free from deep spiritual bondage.

    Ep. 27 | Why Healing Without Jesus Never Works w/Adeline

    What happens when you let go of every healing technique and trust Jesus alone to restore you? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I'm talking with Adeline, a former New Ager who found true freedom in Christ. We dive into deliverance, self-deliverance, and why healing without Jesus isn't just ineffective—it's straight-up dangerous. Adeline shares how New Age practices pulled her further from the truth and opened doors to spiritual warfare, chronic insomnia, and a deep sense of disconnection. She gets real about breaking soul ties, renouncing the spirit of lust, and how God completely restored her understanding of womanhood, relationships, and identity.

Since then, she has built a multiple 6-figure per year consulting and online education business, impacting over 1,000 leaders across 20+ countries.   In 2024, after years of exploring various spiritual paths—including plant medicine, shamanic practices, feminine arts, and tantra/conscious kink—Adeline made a life-altering decision to follow Christ, grounding her work in biblical Truth at the forefront of business strategy.

    Ep. 26 | How God Changed My Heart on Sex Before Marriage

    Is sex before marriage truly freeing, or is it actually keeping us in cycles of heartbreak and confusion? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I share my journey from dismissing purity as outdated to being fully convicted by the Holy Spirit. I open up about how my past in the "feminine liberated" and New Age worlds shaped my views on sex, how meeting a godly man after my baptism challenged me, and how I came to see God's design for sex as a blessing, not a restriction. I'm also discussing the clarity of dating without sex, the heartbreak of casual relationships, and how embracing God's way transformed my desires for marriage and family. If you've wrestled with this topic, I pray this episode brings a fresh perspective and a deeper understanding of God's love and protection.

    Ep. 24 | My Wilderness & Pruning Season: Navigating Lost Relationships, Loneliness, and Name Changes

    Could an old name, relationship, or identity be holding you back from God's true calling? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I'm sharing what it's really like to walk through the wilderness season, when God strips away everything that can't go with you into the next chapter. Over the past few months, I've experienced deep pruning: letting go of relationships, experiencing big business shifts, and even reclaiming my real name after realizing how the enemy uses name changes to alter our destiny. God convicted me about renouncing Elaina Ray–a name I took on in the New Age–and stepping back into the identity He gave me through my family, Elaina Giolando. If you're feeling the weight of isolation, loss, or loneliness during your own wilderness season, hear this: God is preparing you for something greater. Stay faithful, because He is making a way.

Taylor shares her story of growing up as the daughter of a Lutheran pastor who built a thriving church from the ground up, until her father's double life came to light.

    Ep. 20 | Embracing the Secret Place with Katharina Grace

    How do you tell your New Age following you've found Jesus? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I'm chatting with my friend Katharina Grace about her journey from being a New Age coach in Bali to finding Jesus after a life-changing motorcycle accident. Kat opens up about how hard it was to let go of her identity as a "spiritual teacher" and all the new age practices she used to teach—everything from Kundalini to Tantra to deity worship. Kat shares how she completely transformed her coaching business to serve Christian women instead, including taking a full year offline to be in "the secret place" with God, rebuilding with a Biblical foundation, and learning to trust God's timing. If you're trying to figure out how to transition your business to Christianity without burning everything down, you're going to love hearing how God walked with Kat through every step of her transformation.   About Katharina: Katharina Grace is a mentor who is firmly rooted in Christ and supports women in restoring and deepening their relationships to God. After almost a decade in new-age spirituality, a serious accident brought her home to Christ. A renewal began taking place in all areas of her life that also included her coaching practice. She is devoted to supporting women from living in a state of seeking to a life in peace through coming into beloved identity and restoring femininity through the lens of biology and God's laws. A foundational part of Katharina's work is about cultivating safety in our own bodies, growing in our ability to self-source and establishing a healthy inner frame to meet the masculine in life from a place of self-responsibility, maturity and a woman's posture from knowing God's love, first. Katharina is also supporting women in business and ministry as they follow their God-given assignments from a place of deep listening and obedience to His call.

    Ep. 18 | Discussing Christianity's Revival in Bali w/ Christine Lee

    What happens when God meets you right where you are, even in the heart of the New Age capital of the world? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I chat with Christine Lee, a life purpose coach from Bali, who reveals how her upbringing in Buddhist and Taoist traditions, combined with the allure of New Age practices, left her searching for identity, love, and purpose. It wasn't until she fully surrendered her life to Jesus that she experienced true freedom and transformation. Now, Christine dedicates her life to helping women heal through Christ-centered coaching while actively serving in a thriving church in Bali, where God's love is drawing spiritual seekers from all backgrounds back to Him.   About Christine: Christine is a faith-based life & relationship coach with a remarkable story of transformation, moving from New Age practices to a Christ-centered life. Raised in a single-parent home and navigating childhood wounds of abandonment and rejection, Christine found herself searching for healing and fulfillment in New Age spirituality and personal development. However, after years of seeking, her path led her to a profound relationship with God that transformed her life and purpose. Now based in Bali, Christine guides others, especially women, on their journeys of healing attachment wounds and restoring faith through practical steps and Christ as the foundation. Her approach blends mindset work, spiritual renewal, and actionable tools that empower her clients to step confidently into their divine identity and purpose.   You can DM her at www.instagram.com/christinelee.co   Tune in to her Podcast "Wisdom of The Word: Faith, Healing & Business" https://open.spotify.com/show/0jmPvZKOCFPM6wRnMEDL6X?si=0af77387882647f8 and wherever podcasts play.    Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@christinelee.co1

    Ep. 16 | Dismantling a Multi-8 Figure Empire to Glorify God w/ Katrina Ruth

    What happens when a top-tier business coach known for her boldness and success trades worldly ambition for radical obedience to Christ? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I sit down with Katrina Ruth, a former mentor of mine and a powerhouse in the coaching industry, to share her incredible journey from worldly success to finding her true purpose in Christ.

This episode is packed with testimony, encouragement, and a call to trust God's plan, no matter the cost!   About Katrina: Over the past nearly 2 decades I've been blessed to have brought through me a multiple 8-figure coaching brand online. I have a new ministry Katrina Ruth Ministries, and God has taken over the 'show' at the coaching business The Katrina Ruth Show.   I write, speak, create and share whatever He leads me to each day. Always Spirit-led.   I run programs and courses for faith-led entrepreneurs who desire to walk their true path of destiny in Him. And to see all that SHOULD come to fruition in their business, wealth, relationships, stewardship of their spiritual and supernatural gifts and anointings - all of it.   I am a prolific creator and have created over 300 successful courses, workshops, and the like in my nearly 20 years online … and hundreds more which I would not term as so successful. These span all sorts of topics from traditional business, to all elements of online sales and marketing, to money mindset, fitness, and most of all / my favourite … the things which just come through and remind you of how to be YOU.   I learned a long time ago not to question whether it meant I am not 'doing something right' to keep creating. I was born to let things through. It is like BREATH to me to do so. Praise the Lord I get to now do it only in what is TRUE!

    Ep. 15 | The Joy of Obeying God - 3 Examples From My Life Lately

    Are you willing to let go of old pleasures to fully step into the life God designed for you? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I open up about the intense challenges and profound rewards of obedience to God after leaving New Age spirituality for a true relationship with Christ. I share how God called me to turn away from familiar yet spiritually compromising experiences during my travels this past summer, like skipping Berlin's famous techno scene and opting out of a New Age yacht trip with old friends in Croatia. While these were hard decisions that left me feeling a loss of connection and familiarity, through obedience I was rewarded with an overwhelming closeness to God, filled with peace and light that I'd never felt before. My biggest takeaway? Obedience isn't about rigid rule-following, but letting God guide our hearts to a higher purpose that replaces temporary highs with deep, fulfilling joy.

    Ep. 14 | Functional Nutrition and Faith: Aligning a Wellness Business with God's Plan w/Summer

    How does an entrepreneur navigate the tension between new-age wellness practices and a Christ-centered approach to health? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I welcome my dear friend, Summer, to share her powerful testimony of leaving the new age and finding true freedom in Jesus. Summer opens up about her experiences with health struggles, spiritual confusion, and her career in holistic wellness, which ultimately led her to discover the truth and freedom found in Jesus. This episode is full of inspiration for business owners seeking to honor God through their work and calling.   About Summer: Summer's journey to faith has been a rollercoaster. After years of personal struggles, including an autoimmune diagnosis in 2015, she was desperate to find the health and happiness she felt she had lost. In 2014, a therapist introduced her to the Law of Attraction, sparking a deep dive into spirituality and holistic health as she sought remission from her autoimmune condition. However, this pursuit led her deeper into spiritual confusion. She explored everything from psychic readings and reiki to psychedelics, chasing answers and fulfillment. But instead of peace, she encountered spiritual warfare—worsened health, toxic relationships, and a deep sense of hopelessness and burnout. Though she was familiar with the Gospel, she rejected it, believing she could be her own savior and that true fulfillment was just beyond the next ritual, psychic session, or psychedelic experience. She had multiple encounters with Jesus during this time but found herself repeatedly drawn back into New Age practices. In April 2023, after a powerful encounter with Jesus, Summer renounced her New Age beliefs and embraced her identity as a daughter of Christ. "There's sugar in the poison," she says of mixing New Age practices with faith. Although her walk with Christ has had its challenges, she is passionate about helping others on their journey, sharing the lessons she's learned, and pointing to the true fulfillment that can only be found in Christ.
