Why Self Help Doesn't Heal (New Age to Jesus) | Ep 23

New Age to New Heart

NOTE

Avoid the Traps of Deceptive Self-Help

Be vigilant against self-help movements that disguise themselves as beneficial, particularly those involving mindfulness, breathwork, and certain meditation practices, as they can lead to spiritual trances and dangerous influences. It's crucial to recognize that claims of connecting with a 'higher self' or 'higher power' may often deviate from Biblical principles and instead promote ideas that contradict Scripture. Specifically, caution is advised regarding 12-step programs, which may lean on channeled material and encourage reliance on arbitrary higher powers that lack true divine authority. Instead, consider Christian alternatives that align with faith-based values, such as The Addiction Connection, which provides supportive resources without compromising spiritual integrity. Lastly, be skeptical of seemingly Christian meditation apps, as many may harbor non-Christian influences and practices that can mislead users.
