Imposter - Acts 1:23-26

In this episode of the Daily Sabbath Podcast, host Pastor Jay Lee sits down with Elle Angel, a former New Ager turned Christian, for an eye-opening conversation about her spiritual journey from crystals, The Secret, law of attraction, tarot, mediumship, spells, and spirit guides, to Jesus, prayer, and Scripture. If you've ever dabbled in New Age practices or felt torn between different spiritual teachings, this is an episode you can't miss. Elle opens up about why New Age beliefs initially captivated her, offering a seeming shortcut to healing and a sense of control over her life. Yet, beneath the allure, she realized a disconnect from truth and confronted the ways these practices veered from her deep longing for genuine connection with God. Elle recounts the vision that redefined her path and how her renewed faith meant not just a shift in mindset but a profound life transformation, guiding her to be baptized and even to rename herself. And they also have a conversation about parental guidance in a world where children are exposed to an array of spiritual influences, from yoga to ghost-themed TV shows. Elle stresses the importance of protecting our young ones' impressionable spirits and ensuring that we're not unwittingly inviting negative energies into our homes. Guest Bio: As a Trauma-Informed Life Coach, Elle Angel specializes in empowering Christian women to break free from the shackles of emotional trauma. Through her faith-based coaching practices, Elle guides her clients towards a renewed sense of safety and a deep, trusting relationship with God so they can experience emotional freedom and rebuild their life after being lost for so many years.

In this episode, Pastor Jay Lee interviews Christine Osbrink (@the.fourfour) who actively practices the miraculous gifts of the Spirit, such as: of tongues, word of knowledge, and prophecy. Pastor Jay, who does not have any of these "miraculous" gifts of the spirit, explores both the Biblical teaching as well as Christine's personal experiences, asking very specific and personal questions of Christine to try and dig for truth on this very mysterious and debated issue. Christine closes the interview by praying in tongues. Some of the questions explored in the interview: Where does the Bible teach us about spiritual gifts? Is there any solid Biblical argument that some of the gifts have ceased? What if you are wrong about a "word of knowledge" or "prophecy"? Can Christine understand what she is praying in tongues? What if tongues or other manifestations are demonic? Why don't people with the gift of healing just go walk around hospitals everyday? Guest Bio: CJ has always enjoyed discipling, writing, singing and doing visual art,  as a creative soul at heart, but her calling to minister in that  capacity on Instagram began 4-4-21, as a spoken word poet/preacher, and  to champion unity among believers, hence Ephesians 4:4 was the verse  that birthed the IG account name.  God clearly spoke to her to step in  and He gets all glory for the platform and content, as He is the giver!   CJ also loves to teach the word and speak about the Gospel and has had  opportunities to do that as a podcast guest.  She and her highschool  sweetheart husband @word.in.season have four homeschooled children and their oldest, teen daughter @creativleighinspired , does original art for the sermon series posts. The mission @the.fourfour is to usher in renaissance and revival in these last days, bridging  culture with Christ, through the inspiration and passionate realm of  arts/creativity, which are the least common denominator, that appeal to  every human heart.  Additionally, CJ is passionate to Kingdom build, by  encouraging and equipping other believers, so they can walk fully in  their calling and giftedness, for such a time! **** The closing song for this episode is "Shadow of Your Wings" by Aryn Michelle (@arynmichelle) - ffm.to/pariah2022 **** If you would like to leave Pastor Jay a message or support the podcast, visit: dailysabbath.com
