Summary

As a popular New Age teacher, Doreen Virtue became the top-selling New Age author at the top New Age Publishing company. She practiced Tarot cards and necromancy, even offering free readings to parents who had recently lost their children. She believed she was doing God’s work until God saved her and she trusted in Christ. In 2017, she renounced her former New Age works, and now helps Christians spot New Age teachings that are coming into the church. She joins the podcast today to share concerns she has about necromancy (communicating with the dead) being practiced by Evangelical Christians and leaders.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:ONLINE CHRISTIAN COURSESwww.onlinechristiancourses.com (http://www.onlinechristiancourses.com/)Train Your Brain: An Introduction to LogicGet 10% off using my code: ALISA10SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Use the code, ALISA, to get 10% off, plus Subscribe and save and extra 15% off for a total of 25% off!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Alisa Childers Podcast, where we equip Christians to identify the core beliefs of
0:13.4	historic Christianity, discern its counterfeits, and proclaim the gospel with
0:17.3	clarity, kindness, and with truth, and I've got an important episode today on
0:21.1	the practice of necromancy and how that is
0:24.2	creeping into the church. Now before you say necromancy there's no way there
0:28.8	that that's in the church I want to encourage you to give a careful listen to today's podcast because I think what you're going to discover
0:36.7	is that there are ways where it's more overt, but there are a lot of ways where it's really quite subtle.
0:42.4	And I was even's really quite subtle.
0:42.5	And I was even surprised by how subtle it can come into the church at times.
0:47.0	And I invited my friend Doreen Virtue, who God saved out of the New Age movement.
0:51.7	She was a very, very popular New Age guru before she became a
0:56.0	Christian and she actually practiced necromancy herself. So she's on the podcast today to share her story and then share where she's concerned seeing
1:06.2	necromancy creep its way into the church.
1:08.7	So we're going to get to that in a moment, but I have a couple of things I want to let you
1:11.6	know about first. The first thing is that we are coming back with all new episodes of the Unshaken Faith podcast this week.
1:19.0	So my buddy Natasha Crane and I are so excited to bring you 15 to 20 minute
1:24.2	episodes where we talk about how Christianity intersects things like culture and
1:29.6	politics. It's really fun. It's a little different than my podcast and Natasha's
1:34.2	podcast where we kind of do deeper dives into topics like historic
1:37.8	Christianity and progressive Christianity and deconstruction. The Unshaken Faith
1:42.0	Podcast are shorter episodes.
1:44.1	So if you have a short commute, or you got some laundry to fold
	...
