Join me, your host Ruth Hovsepian, as I welcome the remarkable Athena Dean Holtz in a compelling conversation about the often-unseen New Age influences sneaking into Christian circles. Athena, with her rich background in publishing and as a spiritual abuse survivor, brings to light the concerning aspects of the popular show "The Chosen," including its Mormon funding and how it might blur the lines of theological understanding. Listen in as we unpack the potential risks of these influences and the importance of scriptural knowledge to discern the truth in our faith communities.
In our heartfelt discussion, we tackle the pitfalls of superficial engagement with the Bible and the dangers of the prosperity gospel and other false teachings. With an emphasis on deep scriptural understanding and reflection, I share personal experiences of spiritual abuse and highlight the need for a true, humble approach to faith that mirrors the life of Jesus. This chapter is a clarion call for believers to arm themselves with wisdom and discernment to combat misleading ideologies that can ensnare even the most devout followers.
The episode wraps up with a critical look at the phenomenon of celebrity worship within the church and the paramount importance of discernment in spiritual leadership. I underscore the responsibility each believer holds as a gatekeeper of their faith to ensure teachings and leadership align with the fear and holiness of God. Our conversation also addresses the aftermath of publicized scandals and the caution necessary when selecting spiritual resources. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Athena for her insights and invite you, our listeners, to engage with these pressing issues for a faith that is vigilant and informed.
