Raised & Redeemed

✨ In this powerful Orthodox Christian testimony, I sit down with my friend Romy Scates to share her journey of faith—from growing up in the Assemblies of God, to falling away into New Age spirituality, to finally finding her way home to the Orthodox Church.Raised in the church, Romy never fully forgot that Jesus Christ is Lord. But as she searched for truth, she found herself entangled in the deception of the New Age. Later, as she returned to Christianity, she discovered that many Protestant churches were teaching not only false doctrines but also exposing believers to spiritually dangerous practices.Her story is one of discernment, repentance, and encountering the fear of the Lord. Ultimately, Romy and her husband found the Orthodox Christian faith, where they experienced the fullness of truth, reverence for God, and the unchanging teachings of the Early Church.🙏 Whether you are:~ A Protestant Christian curious about true Christian teachings~ A seeker leaving the New Age movement~ Or an Orthodox Christian interested in testimonies of converts…This episode will inspire you and help you understand why people are finding their true home in the Orthodox Church.🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share if you find this helpful!#orthodoxchristian #testimony #orthodoxtestimony----------------------------------------------------🌐 Explore More:ALL LINKS → https://beacons.ai/michaelanikolaenkoWebsite → www.michaelanikolaenko.com 🎙️ Listen to the Podcast:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/raisedandredeemed🎥 Subscribe on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn2x_6If3KUo5d9aA_7ALLw📲 Follow Along on Socials:Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/michaelanikolaenko/TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@michaelanikolaenkoFacebook → https://www.facebook.com/michaelanikolaenko----------------------------------------------------📌 Timestamps:00:00–3:13 | Intro3:13–7:13 | Growing up in the church (Assemblies of God)7:13–19:56 | Falling away from the Faith and into New Age spirituality19:56–30:42 | Coming back to Christ30:42–39:37 | Unholy spirits and growing in discernment at church39:37–52:24 | The dangers of charismatic teachings52:24–1:09:26 | Why she left Protestantism1:09:26–1:22:51 | Journey to Orthodoxy

In this conversation, Fr. Ivan Shandra joins Michaela Nikolaenko to unpack one of the most important questions in the Christian life: how do we know what’s truly from God, and what isn’t?Coming from a background in the occult and New Age spirituality, Michaela has witnessed firsthand how easily people mistake emotional or mystical experiences for the Holy Spirit. Even within Christianity, especially in charismatic movements, people often speak of hearing God’s voice, receiving prophetic messages, or having supernatural encounters. But how does Orthodox Christianity understand these experiences—and how can we discern truth from spiritual deception (prelest)?Fr. Ivan, an Orthodox priest serving in Toronto and host of Orthodox Talks, offers profound Orthodox insight into the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the discernment of prophecy, speaking in tongues, casting out demons, and experiencing the true presence of God within the sacramental life of the Church.Together, they contrast the Orthodox approach—rooted in humility, obedience, and community—with the emotional, individualistic spirituality often seen in charismatic settings.If you’ve ever wondered whether your spiritual experiences are from God or from your own mind, this episode will help anchor you in the truth of the Holy Spirit’s work through the Church.📖 Referenced Scriptures:1 Corinthians 12 — The Gifts of the Spirit1 John 4:1 — “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits…”Matthew 7:15–23 — “Beware of false prophets…”John 16:13 — “When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth.”💡 Key Takeaways: - The Holy Spirit is a person, not just an energy or force. - We receive the Holy Spirit through chrismation in the Orthodox Church. - True discernment comes through humility and obedience, not emotional highs. - Prophecy in Orthodoxy is about witnessing truth, not revealing new doctrine. - The charismatic promise of instant transformation differs from the Orthodox path of repentance and theosis. - The true presence of God is found in the liturgical and sacramental life of the Church.#OrthodoxChristianity #CharismaticChristianity #HolySpirit #SpiritualDiscernment #OrthodoxChurch #FrIvanShandra #RaisedandRedeemed #MichaelaNikolaenko #Prelest #FalseProphets #OrthodoxTalks #GiftsOfTheSpirit #OrthodoxFaith----------------------------------------------------Follow Orthodox Talks with Fr.

Today, Kara Mosher shares her journey from the occult to Orthodox Christianity and exposes psychedelic deception. Before encountering Christ, psychedelics were her god, yet never healed her or brought her peace. While she thought they were leading her to truth in the spirit realm, they were only leading her further into darkness and occult training.In this episode of the Raised & Redeemed podcast, host Michaela Nikolaenko talks with Kara Mosher, author of Here Comes Trouble and host of the Let’s Be Friends Podcast, about her journey from psychedelic “enlightenment," mental illness, and demonic oppression to finding the true Light in Orthodox Christianity.#orthodoxchristian #testimony #psychedelics #theoccult----------------------------------------------------📚 Guest Info:Follow Kara Mosher!📖 Book: Here Comes Trouble https://www.karamosher.com/author/here-comes-trouble🎙️ Podcast: Let’s Be Friends https://www.letsbefriendspodcast.com📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herecomestroublexo/----------------------------------------------------🌐 Explore MoreALL LINKS → https://beacons.ai/michaelanikolaenkoWebsite → www.michaelanikolaenko.com 🎙️ Listen to the Podcast:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/raisedandredeemed🎥 Subscribe on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn2x_6If3KUo5d9aA_7ALLw📲 Follow Along on Socials:Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/michaelanikolaenko/TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@michaelanikolaenkoFacebook → https://www.facebook.com/michaelanikolaenko----------------------------------------------------⏳ TIMESTAMPS:00:00–01:02 Intro01:02–12:43 Psychedelic Phronema12:43–22:55 A Pharmaceutical Slumber22:55–29:54 Demonic Visitations29:54–40:54 The Portal of Eyegazing40:54–43:01 Fear No Evil – Halloween41:44–50:46 Jesus Interrupted Psychic Channeling50:46–54:59 Akashic Records54:59–55:53 My Baby Joins!!55:53–1:05:08 Coming to Orthodoxy1:05:08–1:06:43 Closing

In this video, I’m responding to your comments from my recent post about Halloween. Many of you shared strong opinions—most against celebrating it—and I wanted to take a moment to address those thoughts with honesty, love, and discernment.As someone who came from a past of extreme darkness—involved in things that truly glorified evil—I understand the concerns many Christians have. But I also know the difference between the demonic and the innocent, and I don’t believe that dressing up, walking with your family, or sharing candy with your community has to be sinful when done with clear boundaries and a heart that remains in Christ.Let’s talk about how we, as Christians, can approach days like Halloween with spiritual wisdom rather than fear, and how to shine light—even on a night that’s often associated with darkness.👇 Share your thoughts in the comments! I’d love to hear how your family approaches this day and how you keep your focus on what’s good and godly.#ChristianHalloween #OrthodoxChristianity #RaisedAndRedeemed #FaithOverFear #MichaelaNikolaenko----------------------------------------------------🌐 Explore More:ALL LINKS → https://beacons.ai/michaelanikolaenkoWebsite → www.michaelanikolaenko.com 🎙️ Listen to the Podcast:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/raisedandredeemed🎥 Subscribe on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn2x_6If3KUo5d9aA_7ALLw📲 Follow Along on Socials:Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/michaelanikolaenko/TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@michaelanikolaenkoFacebook → https://www.facebook.com/michaelanikolaenko----------------------------------------------------⏳ TIMESTAMPS:00:00-4:12 Intro4:12-6:04 Why I view Halloween as okay6:04-11:32 An Orthodox Approach to Halloween11:32-30:04 Instagram comments about Halloween30:04-36:32 Halloween's roots in All Saint's Day?36:32-37:13 TikTok comments about Halloween37:13-1:00:32 YouTube comments about Halloween
