Ex-Psychic Saved: Exposing Divination, New Age, and the Occult

What happens when teachings that sound “Christian” open the door to demonic influence?

In this compelling episode, Jenn Nizza welcomes back apologist and author Melissa Dougherty to uncover the hidden spiritual dangers of the Word of Faith and New Thought movements. From declarations and “manifesting” to the idolization of healing, Melissa breaks down how these popular teachings—often found in churches—are rooted in metaphysical beliefs, not biblical truth.

Together, they examine:
  • The real definitions of New Thought and Word of Faith
  • The blurred lines between self-help and spiritual deception
  • How affirmations, “Christ consciousness,” and the prosperity gospel distort the gospel
  • The emotional pain that often drives people to these teachings
  • How bad theology leads to bondage—and what true healing and faith look like
and so much more!

If you've ever heard “just believe and you'll be healed,” or wondered how affirmations and visualizations might conflict with Scripture, this episode is for you.

What is Ex-Psychic Saved: Exposing Divination, New Age, and the Occult?

Jennifer Nizza knows what it means to discern — and confront — evil. Once trapped on the hampster wheel of the New Age for 25 years, she was radically saved out of the occult and bondage by Jesus Christ. Nizza was a psychic medium and a teacher of the occult, and, as a result, was demonically oppressed. She taught topics such as: the law of attraction, past life regression, automatic writing, tarot, and mediumship. Despite being deeply rooted in the occult, at the age of 36, she cried out to Jesus for the first time and became a Christian. Suddenly, the darkness she was embroiled in was illuminated. She quit her job as a psychic, picked up her cross to follow Jesus — and hasn't looked back. Nizza, author of the books "From Psychic to Saved" and "Out of the New Age and Into the Truth," is now exposing the New Age, occultism, and paranormal deceptions through "The Ex-Psychic Saved Podcast." This podcast is dedicated to warning all about the dangers of the occult. She will talk about many New Age topics, expose where psychics get their information, interact with compelling guests, and much more!
