From New Age to Christ

In the final episode of the 52-week Trust in the Lord series, Doreen Virtue considers God's attribute of trustworthiness from Proverbs 3:5–6. After spending decades in New Thought and New Age spirituality, Doreen had to learn from Scripture who God truly is and why He can be trusted. Rather than trusting our own understanding, attempting to control the future, or expecting God to conform to our timing, Christians are called to trust the Lord with all their hearts. Doreen explains how studying God's attributes strengthens our confidence in Him, why His character remains trustworthy even when prayers seem unanswered, and how believers can bring their fears, worries, and uncertainties to their sovereign and faithful God. Even when we cannot understand what God is doing, we can trust who He is. For more from Doreen, please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/doreen-virtue/

God is eternal, uncreated, and self-existent. He existed before creation and depends on nothing outside Himself. In this episode of New Age to Christ, Doreen Virtue examines the self-existence of God and contrasts the biblical Creator with the impersonal concepts of God found in New Age and New Thought spirituality. Doreen explains how beliefs such as non-duality blur the biblical distinction between God and His creation. Scripture instead reveals the eternal God, whose wisdom, knowledge, power, and existence are entirely His own. Because God is self-existent and sovereign, Christians can trust Him when life feels uncertain. We do not need to tell God how to answer our prayers or carry every burden ourselves. His thoughts and ways are higher than ours, and His wisdom and timing are perfect. Drawing from Isaiah 44:6, Psalm 90:2, Isaiah 55:8–9, and Proverbs 3:5, Doreen encourages Christian women to know God through His Word, bring every concern to Him in prayer, and trust the Lord rather than leaning on their own understanding.

New Age spirituality frequently teaches that human beings are "co-creators" with God or that God needs our experiences in order to learn and grow. Scripture teaches the opposite. God possesses everything He needs within Himself. He is eternal, sovereign, independent, and completely self-sufficient. In Week 50 of New Age to Christ, Doreen Virtue explains how this attribute of God frees Christians from the exhausting burden of trying to control everything, rescue everyone, or earn God's favor through good works. Because God lacks nothing, His grace, wisdom, love, and strength will never be exhausted. We obey God because we love Him and have been saved through faith in Jesus Christ, not because God needs something from us. Every believer can lay down the burden of self-reliance and rest in the complete sufficiency of God. For more from Doreen please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/doreen-virtue/

In this episode of New Age to Christ, Doreen Virtue continues the 52-week study of God's attributes by considering the biblical truth that God is slow to anger. Drawing from Exodus 34:6, Romans 3:23, Nahum 1:3, and Proverbs 14:29, Doreen explains that God's anger is not impulsive or sinful like human anger. His anger is righteous because He is holy, and His patience toward sinners displays His mercy and long-suffering. Doreen also contrasts the biblical view of God with the one-dimensional view of God often found in New Thought and New Age spirituality, where God's love is affirmed while His holiness, wrath, justice, and the gospel are denied. This episode encourages believers to praise God for His patience, repent of sin, pray for unsaved loved ones, and bring anger, frustration, and spiritual warfare to the Lord.

In this episode of New Age to Christ, Doreen Virtue reflects on the truthfulness of God and the comfort believers have in knowing that God cannot lie. In a world marked by deception, betrayal, false teaching, and broken promises, Christians can rest in the God of truth. Doreen explains how God's character is perfectly trustworthy, how Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, and how the Holy Spirit guides believers in truth. This episode especially encourages women who have been hurt by spiritual deception, New Age teaching, Word of Faith promises, betrayal, or unanswered prayer. God is not a genie or a vending machine. He is the Creator, Lord, and faithful Father who invites His people to pour out their hearts before Him and trust His wisdom, timing, and care.

God is our Deliverer. In this episode, Doreen Virtue examines the biblical theme of God's deliverance and explains why Christians are called to trust in Christ rather than rely on self-deliverance or self-reliance. Looking at God's rescue of Israel, David, and ultimately believers through the finished work of Christ, Doreen encourages listeners to rest in the Lord's faithfulness, trust His care, and stand firm in spiritual warfare through submission to God and obedience to His Word.

Many people have been taught that strength comes from self-reliance, determination, and personal effort. Scripture teaches something very different. Drawing from Psalm 27:1 and other key passages, this episode of New Age to Christ explores the biblical truth that God is our strength. Rather than carrying life's burdens alone, Christians are called to depend upon the Lord, trusting His power, wisdom, and faithfulness in every circumstance. Doreen Virtue explains why self-reliance often leads to discouragement and exhaustion, while dependence on God produces endurance, peace, and spiritual strength. If you are facing trials, temptation, anxiety, or uncertainty, this episode will encourage you to rest in the strength that God provides.
