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!

In this episode Pastor Jay Lee explores the growing number of people who identify as "Spiritual but not Religious" and what that means. He interviews Serena Sutterfield, a Life and Wellness Coach who grew up Christian, but then left the faith for almost a decade - identifying as "spiritual but not religious" during that time. Serena shares why she left the faith, what brought her back, her current feelings on the church, and what she thinks are the reasons why many others also identify as Spiritual but not Religious.

Guest Bio:

My name is Serena Sutterfield and I am the founder of the life coaching business, Vertical First. It is my goal to open the 4th quadrant of knowledge to others- we don't know what we don't know. Maintaining a certain level of curiosity and questioning of the world around us is essential to not only our survival but to our peace and contentment as well. I have helped women to come out of darkness and into the light, opening their minds to the possibilities that their worlds too can be beautiful and curated. I've helped women to create routines based on their overall life goals, giving them hope, confidence, and self appreciation to carry them through. I believe that my neuro divergence is a gift that allows me to see beyond the construct of societal norms, and I am devoted to bringing others into their own realities too!

Amanda Schaefer is an author, speaker, publisher, and podcast host. No matter what vehicle she uses to share, Amanda is always telling stories. Amanda attended New York University, majoring in Dramatic Writing but was not a believer at the time. She would never have imagined using all of the things she learned there to create a Christian podcast. This endeavor, the “A Cup of Gratitude” podcast, is being listened to worldwide! It has far surpassed any of her expectations. Amanda’s goal was to provide a platform for people to share their stories and, as a result, to share God’s story. With no agenda other than finding the way to view lives through the lens of gratitude, she has chosen to keep this podcast as a ministry with no monetization of any kind. With new books on the horizon and some collective efforts around the bend, Amanda is ready for each opportunity she receives to share the gospel in every way that she can.
