New Age To Catholic

What can we do to build a better relationship with our Guardian Angel? What is one key thing we can do in order to benefit from his guidance? In this episode of the podcast I talk about the first of Fr. Matthew Hinck's 12 steps to building a better friendship with our guardian angel. The Scripture reference for this episode is drawn from Luke 1 & 2 which talks about St. Gabriel's annunciation to the Blessed Mother and Gabriel's earlier visit to Zacharias to announce the birth of St. John the Baptist. The teaching reference for the episode is Fr. Matthew Hinck's retreat conference The Guardian Angels and Our Spiritual Life which is available as an MP3 download from OpusAngelorum.org here.

This is a single word EVP recording that has not been manipulated or altered in any way. To most people, it sounds like the word 'good' pronounced with a German accent. What is interesting about this EVP, is that the voice (near the end of the recording) seems to commenting on the human conversation that precedes it. I found the quality of the voice telling, too. If I had to guess at how a demon might sound, this would be it.

The Pope's Exorcist with Russell Crowe was a typical Hollywood movie with over the top special effects. But it did get some things about exorcism right, and was not a bad movie over all. In this podcast, I share my views on the movie and on exorcism and Fr. Gabriele Amorth, upon whom the film was loosely based.

In this episode I talk about how and why you should share your testimony about coming (or returning) to the Faith. I also share the four step model St. Paul used when he shared his testimony in Acts 22 and how you can adapt that model to your own story. Learning about St. Paul's method was timely for me because I am writing a short ebook about my experience in the New Age and occult but I believe that everyone has a story and that we should all be sharing it. Whether you share your testimony in a book, a podcast, on YouTube, with your Church or simply with a friend, I encourage you to find your voice and do it. Witnessing about what God has done in our lives is never time wasted!

In this episode I talk about the book The Anti-Mary Exposed by Carrie Gress and the topic of toxic femininity in my own experience. This book does a great job of presenting the dark history of feminism, the impact toxic femininity has had on our culture and the many issues with goddess worship. And I agree with all of it!

On the surface the film Prey for the Devil is about exorcism and the (superior) power of a female exorcist but there are other subtler points made that are worth looking at. To me, there are other anti-Catholic themes in this movie that are almost subliminal in delivery. It's worth considering, in my opinion, why this is For more on spiritual warfare, modern day occultism, and the Catholic faith please follow the show! newagetocatholic.com/e/returning-to-the-church-my-testimony-part-2/BarbaraGraver.com/my-testimony #moviereviews #exorcist #Catholic

In this episode I talk about the concept of a Catholic "Rule of Life" and how that concept is directly opposed by the teachings of occultists like Aleister Crowley and Gerald Gardener. Topics covered include what a Rule of Life is, how have a rule can help us withstand the many influences of popular culture.

Crystals are hugely popular in New Age and occult circles. But while "working with" crystals may seem harmless or even silly, the truth is that crystals have real occult applications. In this video, I talk about the dark side of crystals and why I believe they are dangerous based on my own personal experience. Please note: I don't feel I explained this as well as I should have, but promise to go into more detail in the ebook and possibly on the blog as well.

In this episode I talk about how Catholicism is portrayed on two popular TV shows I've watched and how this helped convince me that Catholics SHOULD be involved in the entertainment industry. I also talk about how Catholic exorcist Monsignor Stephen Rossetti's recent deliverance prayer webinar helped me gain clarity.

Is holistic wellness compatible with the Catholic Faith? Or is it just another type of new age deception? In this video I share my perspective as a Catholic nurse and ex-new ager. I sometimes get a little rattled when I do video episodes (especially when my pup is barking at me through the door) and make mistakes. In this one I said hypotension instead of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) TWICE. I also said "most" toxic medicine is based on herbs which is wrong, wrong, wrong. I meant to say "some" - which I suspect most people already know. Hopefully I will get better with this in time! You can listen to my testimony in two parts in episodes 1 & 2 of the podcast.

I left the New Age and occult in 2017 but I didn't return to my Catholic Faith immediately. Instead like many ex-new agers, I became involved in the Evangelical "New Age To Christianity" movement.

This is part 2 of my testimony, as promised. It's about leaving the New Age and occult and returning to my Catholic faith.

I decided to kick of my new podcast by sharing two podcasts from my old show - part one and two of my testimony. Since I plan to talk about spiritual warfare and the occult in the podcast, I think that makes sense. This is part one. I recorded it when I was hosting my previous podcast in 2018. In it, I talk about my experience in the New Age and occult and my personal journey from modern day occultism to Christianity. In Part 2 I will be talking about how my journey eventually led me back home to the Catholic faith. Part 2 of my testimony is given in episode 4! Please Note: The new name for my podcast is "Angels Beside Us." It focuses on angels, discernment and spiritual warfare - from a Catholic Perspective.
