Seven Years in the New Age

For seven years, I was deep in New Age spirituality. I followed a Shaman. I practiced manifestation, energy work, crystals, tarot—all of it.

I thought I was finding myself. I thought I was becoming more spiritual, more enlightened. But looking back, I was lost in a wilderness of deception.

The New Age promises you power, promises you control over your destiny. But it leaves you empty. It left me empty.

Something Was Missing

Despite all my spiritual practices, something was always missing. There was a void that no amount of meditation or energy work could fill.

I had built my entire identity around these beliefs. My social media, my friendships, my sense of purpose—it all revolved around this lifestyle.

But deep down, I knew something wasn't right.

Finding Jesus

Then I found Jesus. And everything changed.

It wasn't a gradual shift—it was a revelation. I realized that all those years I spent seeking enlightenment, seeking power, seeking truth in all the wrong places... Jesus was the answer all along.

He wasn't just another spiritual path. He was THE way, THE truth, THE life.

Now All I Want Is for People to Know Jesus

I walked away from everything. The practices, the beliefs, the community I had built around New Age spirituality.

Now, all I want is for people to know Jesus. That's why I speak about Him. That's why I share my story.

Through my faith-based business, Sunday Mornings, and through my TikTok videos detailing how I built a relationship with God, I've helped others find faith by being open and personable about my journey.

I was a New Age spiritual follower of a Shaman for 7 years before I found Jesus. If He can reach me, He can reach anyone.
