In this captivating episode of the Addiction Connection Podcast, host Mark Shaw welcomes Doreen Virtue to share her remarkable journey from New Age beliefs to embracing Christianity. Doreen, once a prominent figure in New Thought circles, recounts her personal transformation and the profound impact of disciplined Bible reading on her life. Raised in a New Thought environment, Doreen was deeply entrenched in teachings that distorted traditional Christian beliefs.
Her involvement in various New Age practices, including divination and signs, was rooted in the belief that God was merely an energy or force, rather than a personal entity. It wasn't until later in her life that Doreen realized the deception she was under, and she has since dedicated herself to warning others about the dangers of New Age influences. A significant part of Doreen's testimony involves the moment she recognized the sinful nature of her past practices.
Her understanding of scripture led her to see the truth, and she now passionately advocates for the biblical worldview as a path to recovery from addictions. Doreen emphasizes the importance of diligently studying God's Word, warning against the allure of secret wisdom and the spiritual dangers lurking in seemingly benign practices like yoga. Doreen's insights are not only informative but also deeply encouraging.
Her story serves as a powerful reminder of the hope and redemption found in Jesus Christ, urging listeners to surrender their lives to Him as their Lord and Savior. As she discusses the spiritual implications of New Age practices and the importance of fellowship within a solid local church, Doreen inspires us all to seek truth and spiritual growth.
Through her ministry and personal experiences, Doreen Virtue stands as a testament to the transformative power of faith, offering both warnings and hope to those navigating the complexities of modern spirituality.
