Should Christians play Dungeons & Dragons? 🎲 For decades, believers have debated whether D&D is harmless storytelling or a doorway to the demonic. In this episode of Living Free in Truth, we take a clear, biblical look at the game’s fruit, origins, worldview, and spiritual dangers.
Through testimonies, Scripture, and comparisons with Narnia and Lord of the Rings, we’ll ask:
What is the “fruit” of D&D in people’s lives?
Does the game draw from pagan gods and occult practices?
How do Christians defend playing it — and what does the Bible actually say?
Why do stories like Narnia point to Christ, while D&D normalizes sorcery?
👉 Whether you’ve played D&D, know someone who does, or are curious about the cultural debate, this episode will help you discern truthfully and guard your imagination for God’s glory.

Many are searching for healing through energy work, New Age practices, or even AI companions.
But do these methods actually bring freedom or deeper bondage?
In this episode of Living Free in Truth, I share what the Bible says about pain, sorrow, healing, and hope. We’ll look at God’s path to true restoration, the dangers of counterfeit practices, and how Jesus meets us in our deepest wounds.
Trauma leaves deep wounds that no quick fix or spiritual shortcut can heal. In this episode, I share biblical tools for processing pain honestly, bringing it to Jesus, and walking toward true freedom.
We’ll explore lament as worship, the cross as the place of exchange, and how our identity is made new in Christ. Healing is not about pretending or bypassing pain. It’s about meeting God in truth, community, and restoration.
If you’ve tried “shortcuts” to healing and ended up empty, this episode is for you.

Welcome back to Living Free in Truth!
I’m Connie, and today we’re diving into one of the most controversial and personal topics in the modern church: tattoos. Are they harmless self-expression or could they carry deeper spiritual implications?
This episode isn’t about legalism, shame, or surface-level debate. It’s about discernment, clarity, and freedom in Christ. We’ll explore what Scripture actually says about tattoos and body modification, where these practices come from, and how to think biblically without falling into fear or naivety.
Whether you’re inked or considering it, I invite you to listen with an open heart. This isn’t a call-out, it’s a call to think deeply.
Let’s get into it.
In this episode, Connie takes a clear, sober look at tattoos and body modifications through a biblical worldview: examining their origins, cultural evolution, spiritual risks, and health implications. We move beyond legalism or fear to seek biblical clarity and freedom grounded in Scripture.
Starting with the ancient history of tattooing, we trace its ritualistic and pagan roots, how it evolved through culture and technology, and why it remains deeply tied to spiritual symbolism in many contexts. We explore key biblical passages, such as 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 and Leviticus 19:28, unpacking their original context and modern application.
Connie shares testimonies about tattoos as spiritual doorways, discusses how tattoo ink interacts with the immune system, and highlights the toxic heavy metals often hidden in inks. We reflect on the spiritual realities of addiction, idolatry, and soul ties linked to body marking, contrasting them with the biblical concept of being sealed by the Holy Spirit - God’s eternal spiritual mark.
Finally, we confront the cultural narrative of “my body, my choice,” asking what stories our bodies tell and whose image they reflect. This episode challenges believers to pursue discernment, honor God in their bodies, and thoughtfully weigh their motives and witness in a culture saturated with competing values.

In this episode of Living Free in Truth, we examine the growing popularity of muscle testing (also known as applied kinesiology, energy testing, or nutrition response testing) and ask the foundational question: Does this align with the Word of God?
Many Christians are unknowingly engaging in practices with roots in New Age, occult, and Eastern mysticism, often repackaged with scientific or “Christian-friendly” language. But muscle testing goes deeper than just health, it touches on divination, spiritual deception, and misplaced trust.
We explore:
- The origins of muscle testing
- Why it seems to “work”
- How it compares to biblical healing- Modern Christian adoption of it
- And how to discern the subtle traps of spiritual compromise
✝️ Whether you’ve used this practice or are simply curious, this episode is a deep dive on muscle testing, its occult roots, how it is divination and equips you with biblical insight and practical questions to bring before the Lord.

Welcome back to Living Free in Truth, where we pursue clarity in a culture of confusion and hold fast to God's Word in every area of life.
Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s become increasingly popular, even among believers, yet remains spiritually dangerous: crystal healing.
Maybe you’ve seen friends wearing crystal jewelry “for peace,” heard Christians talk about “cleansing energy,” or been offered a jade roller or rose quartz gift.
These things may seem harmless or even helpful, but what’s at the root?
Where did these practices come from, what do they actually mean spiritually, and most importantly, what does the Bible say? This isn’t about legalism, fear, or judgment. It’s about discernment, freedom, and loyalty to Jesus as our only true healer. If you’ve ever wondered, “What’s the harm?” or “Can’t I just use it for decoration?”, this episode is for you.
What is shamanic healing, and why are so many Christians unknowingly opening spiritual doors?
In this episode of Living Free in Truth, I share my personal experience at a Wilderness Fusion healing clinic and expose the spiritual roots behind energy healing, touch therapy, shamanic healing, shamanism, chakras, auras, muscle testing, and practices like shadow work and shape-shifting.
In this episode, we’re tackling a growing and often confusing topic: energy healing, subtle energy work, and related New Age practices that are showing up with a deep dive into Wilderness Fusion, a shamanic healing school.
I will also look at another energy healing school to unpack the specific language that is being articulated and weigh it against the gospel.
Many of these methods promise healing, balance, and wholeness, but at what cost?
We’ll explore the spiritual roots behind these popular practices, why they’re often repackaged with scientific or Christian language, and why, as followers of Jesus, we must be alert and discerning. You’ll hear how these teachings often mix bits of truth with dangerous occult ideas that can subtly lead believers away from Christ.Most importantly, we’ll highlight the biblical way forward: true healing and wholeness only come through faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, renewing the mind with Scripture, and walking in community with other believers, not through shortcuts or manipulating energy.
👉 If you’ve encountered energy healing, touch therapy, muscle testing, or anything that claims to balance your spirit or aura, this episode will equip you with a biblical lens to test those things and stay rooted in the truth.

Welcome to Living Free in Truth, the Christian podcast where we expose the counterfeits and walk boldly in biblical truth.
I’m your host, Connie, and today we’re tackling one of the most deceptive movements infiltrating both culture and the church: the blending of New Age mysticism with quantum science, emotionalism, and pseudo-Christian language.
In an age where people are seeking “alignment,” “energy,” and “enlightenment,” a dangerous message is rising: one that sounds spiritual, but denies the authority of Scripture and the sufficiency of the cross.
You’ve probably heard it: “Jesus was just a part of the puzzle,” “truth is whatever you feel,” “AI might tap into consciousness,” or “healing can come from a frequency.”
But here’s the truth:Jesus and Buddha are not the same. All paths do NOT lead to God. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
In this episode, we’ll examine the subtle lies wrapped in scientific language, emotional manipulation, and so-called “divine intuition.”
We’ll contrast it all with the eternal Word of God and call believers back to the narrow path that leads to life.
We will also unpack 9 claims, common in the New Age and measure that against the rubric which is the Word of God.

You’ve probably heard it before, "just do what feels good", "all truth is relative", or "yoga is just stretching."
But what if behind these feel-good trends is something far more sinister?
I'm Connie, and this is Living Free in Truth, a Christian podcast for believers who want clarity, not compromise.
Each episode, we expose cultural lies, unpack biblical truth, and walk out discernment in a world that calls deception enlightenment. Because Jesus didn’t come to affirm us, He came to free us.
So if you’ve ever felt unsettled by what’s being called Christian today... you’re not alone. It’s time to live free.
In this episode, I share my experience with yoga, my research into the origins, the meaning of yoga and its poses, the kundalini (serpent) spirit, chakras, and the Biblical perspective and questions for discernment.
It's not about legalism or fear. It's not about what's permissible or what's allowed, but what is the heart and intent behind our choices and decisions and why.

Episode 1: New Age Spirituality or Biblical Truth?
You’ve heard the words vibes, manifest, and good energy. Maybe even tried burning sage or dabbling in crystals. But what if what feels spiritual... is actually a counterfeit?
Welcome to the first episode of Living Free in Truth, a Christian podcast helping believers walk in biblical truth and spiritual discernment.
I’m your host, Connie, and today we’re exposing one of the most influential deceptions in both our culture and the Church: New Age spirituality. From energy healing to manifestation, these practices promise peace but lead away from the gospel.
This episode isn’t about fear. It’s about clarity, courage, and the truth of Scripture. Because real freedom doesn’t come from energy… it comes from Christ.
In this episode, we cover:
What is the New Age and how has it entered the Church?
Why spiritual discernment is essential for Christians today
How to spot counterfeit spirituality and return to biblical truth
