On this YouTube channel, we will be exposing the New Age movement while reinforcing the truth of the Gospel. This channel will consist of refutations of New Age ideas and themes, while simultaneously establishing a rational case for the truth of Christianity.
As a former New Ager and former author of the Spirit Science website, I began a Christian after a spiritual experience of the presence of Jesus for the first time. My eyes, since then, have been opened to the deception and lies propagated under the guise of "New Age spirituality" and the truth of the person of Jesus, the Son of God. I hope that the material on this channel is helpful to you, and that you are blessed and strengthened in your faith in Christ from the content of this channel.
"Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them". - Ephesians 5:11

There is somebody pretending to be me in comment sections on YouTube asking for donations and using broken English attempting to scam people. This is not me and don’t give this person your personal information or donations. Comments that are actually from me will have the ‘verified’ checkmark beside them, unlike this fake profile named after me.

Hey guys! I just want to apologize for something that’s been grieving my heart lately touching some ministry I have done in the past. The hardest lesson for me to learn in ministry is that the Lord doesn’t always give us permission to share everything we think that’s true, He requires us to share things a certain way that honors Him and bears good fruit, and that God’s will outside of God’s timing isn’t God’s will.
I feel like there’s been too many times where I've produced written, video, or audio content that was unnecessarily divisive, abrasive, sarcastic, and unprofitable in what was shared or the way it was shared. I don't disagree with anything I have said, but am not happy with everything I have chosen to say, or the way I have said certain things. There are things I said where I should have been more constructive, more encouraging, and less abrasive with my language. I have also dropped names the Lord was not calling me to drop which I feel contrition over, though I am not always against that in practice in the right context and in reference to an appropriate person/ministry.
There is a lot of corruption in the Church doctrinally, morally, and spiritually, and politically, and it’s frustrating to see, and I believe in some instances where I have spoken on these topics I have gotten in my flesh and my motivation hasn’t been pure, whether I was discussing New Age in the church, false teaching in the church, politics, issues in society, etc. I just want to repent for the way I have come across abrasively, divisively, and proudly, and strive to be more encouraging and more gracious when handling these topics. I regret some things I have said, and I regret the way I have said some things. I agree with everything I have said (to my knowledge), but God expects more from me and every believer than to merely say things we agree with.
I appreciate your patience with me as I continue to mature, learn how to follow the Lord in this, and operate in humility. I appreciate your support, and hope to offer more and more value to you guys with upcoming content. :)

Hey guys! My next video (which is filmed and being edited currently) will be on the Law of Attraction. I want to take it upon myself to begin a new research-based video addressing a New Age topic, and am undecided between three options. Which topic would you like to see addressed next?
