Origins: Growing Up with the Supernatural

Kristine and Nick share one of the most intense testimonies ever told on the show, a complete unraveling of New Age spirituality, mediumship, plant medicine, and spirit guides that led them straight into open spiritual warfare. After years of teaching Reiki, tarot, hypnosis, and mediumship, and relocating to Belize under direct guidance from spirits; they found themselves under violent, supernatural attack involving witches, astral battles, animal manifestations, and demonic oppression that threatened their children’s lives. At the breaking point, Kristine cried out to the one true God, triggering a dramatic encounter with the Father, repentance for breaking the first commandment, and a desperate turning to Jesus Christ as their only authority. What follows is a harrowing but hopeful journey of deliverance, renunciation, miraculous healing, baptism, and the complete destruction of everything they once built in the New Age. This conversation exposes the cost of deception, the reality of spiritual warfare, and the unmatched power of Christ to rescue, heal, and restore, even from the deepest darkness.
