Karen

I was a little girl carrying sexual abuse, shame, and guilt, hiding behind cheerleading titles so no one would get close enough to see the ugliness. I went to the altar every Sunday hoping one of those times would be good enough to make me clean.

Christa

I was a shamanic healer and love addict cobbling together an identity from tarot, spirit guides, and relationships with men. I was in pain all the time — like an open canker sore — and I was convinced I was working for the light while I was actually an agent of the enemy.

Mike

I was a rock musician who nearly died of an overdose, then dropped out of college to search for God. I became a yoga guru with 300 students, teaching 14 hours a day, running an ashram, totally committed to the idea that all religions lead to the same ultimate reality.

Paul

I was an atheist who mocked my pastor parents, thought church was a money-making fairy tale, and spent my life drinking, partying, and gaming. Later I got into yoga and New Age spirituality, believing I was God and could manifest everything.

Smury

I was a lawyer, very confident, very feminist, very dominating. I went through Hinduism, Sikism, Buddhism, and new age. I was deep into manifestation, chakras, third eye, soul ties — and I was attracting demonic. I thought my third eye was opening but I was demonically spiritual, not godly spiritual.

Andrea

I was a stripper, deep into drugs and alcohol, running from an abusive relationship, feeling cursed — like everything I touched went bad and I had no control of my life. I felt like a no one with no purpose.

Alyssa

I was a broken witch — depressed, anxious, plagued by nightmares and sleep paralysis, using crystals, tarot, manifesting, and every new age practice I could find, convinced I was born this way and that the Christian God didn't love me.

Sequoia

I was a stripper and an escort who hadn't been sober since I was 18. I felt like trash. I was angry, full of shame from childhood violation, and I thought my life had no meaning. I was being trafficked and beaten, and the only way I could do the work was to stay intoxicated.

Chobby

I was a Triad branch leader — Chinese Mafia — recruited at 13, expelled from school, managing recruitment and territory by 15. I believed protection was love, and the gang gave me what my violent father never did. I was a member for life. That was who I was.

Joshua

I was a born-again Christian two and a half years into walking with Jesus, doing street evangelism, casting out demons, seeing miracles — but secretly questioning whether Jesus was really the only way, and curious whether psychedelics could give me deeper spiritual truth.

Ashley

I was a spiritual person who worshiped celebrities, binge drank, was promiscuous, and then traded all that for New Age healing — crystals, Reiki, law of attraction — still running in circles, still empty, still never actually healing anything.

Chris

I was a software engineer and startup guy who rejected Christianity as antiquated, then spent years trying every psychedelic, energy healer, Buddhist retreat, and New Age practice I could find, convinced I could engineer my way to enlightenment and heal my grief on my own terms.
