Summary

If you have been on the internet in some compacity you have seen this sociological phenomenon unfold. A resurgence of new-age practices and worship. It's nothing new, but it comes in waves just like everything does. We have seen it resurge in the last 5 years, and have seen it change. It has now been seen in the church and in believers' lives.

Could there be a possible middle ground? Join Blake this week to discuss what exactly is New Age, and how both can impact believers today. Be sure to comment, leave a review, and join Blake on her Instagram to continue this discussion after you listen!

1:09.5	it so fascinating is in an attempt to shift away from new age and new age practices.
1:18.0	We've also seen, in my opinion, Christians concede some ground to new ageism that was
1:26.8	theirs first.
1:29.2	If that makes sense, we're seeing some Christian circles, all things new age, and I'm looking
