Rebecca LeMoine - Christian, Ex-New Ager, Dog Mom
About this episode

Tara Nantais returns to the podcast for a powerful conversation about the vital role of Christian counseling. As I continue my journey toward becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor, I'm learning just how crucial it is for believers to receive mental health support from fellow Christians. Tara shares her unique experience of seeking therapy—and how both she and her counselor transitioned from New Age spirituality to a relationship with Jesus. Their story highlights how that transformation deeply impacted the counseling process. Together, we explore how traditional therapy can sometimes open the door to New Age practices, the reality of spiritual warfare, and the importance of discerning when deliverance may be needed. We also dive into the sanctification journey and why healing, even with Jesus, is often a process that takes time. #newagetojesus #christiancounseling #newagedeception #jesuschrist
