Summary
Ayahuasca is being sold as healing. That’s not what she lived. This episode is a real warning from someone who went in. On Wake Up with Miya, I sit down with Christa Black-Gifford, a singer, songwriter, and host of the Head to Heart podcast, to share her journey from growing up as a preacher’s kid and touring in the Christian music world to getting pulled into plant medicine and spiritual deception—and how she found her way back to Jesus. We talk about ayahuasca and wachuma, what she encountered in ceremonies, how deception often starts small, and how to build real spiritual discernment when something feels powerful but isn’t from God. If you’ve ever been curious about psychedelics, New Age spirituality, or “plant medicine” healing, this conversation gives you clarity and warning signs you can actually use.Subscribe to Wake Up with Miya for more truth-seeking conversations.
