In this episode of the Post Christian Podcast, host Dr. Eric Bryant interviews YouTuber, apologist, and author Melissa Dougherty. Melissa delves into her journey from the New Age movement to discovering the profound differences between New Age and New Thought beliefs. She shares her journey finding faith in Jesus. Melissa introduces her new book, Happy Lies, discussing its significance and the impact of New Thought beliefs in modern Christianity. She emphasizes the importance of thoughtful dialogue and understanding in reaching those with diverse spiritual backgrounds and beliefs. 💡 Key Takeaways: 1. Understanding the Difference Between New Age and New Thought The episode explores the distinct differences between New Age and New Thought movements, highlighting how these beliefs can appear similar but differ significantly in their core principles.
