Raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, she grew up carrying spiritual questions that only deepened after childhood encounters with demonic attacks, an alien abduction, a Bigfoot sighting, and the lingering effects of Santeria in her family line. Her search for truth eventually pulled her into New Age spirituality and Reiki, where what first appeared healing and light-filled slowly became dark, oppressive, and destructive. At her breaking point, Chrissy cried out to God and was met by Jesus in a way that shattered the deception and began her journey into repentance, deliverance, and restoration. This conversation explores spiritual warfare, deception, discernment, and the power of Christ to rescue someone from darkness. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.
