They Wanted Her Soul: From Witchcraft, Sex Work & Demons to Salvation, Michaela Nikolaenko’s Testimony
Welcome back to the Let's be friends podcast. I am here today, new friend Michaela Nikolaenko. Michaela is the host of the Raised and Redeemed Podcast, a Christian author, and an ex-New Ager.
Michaela was radically saved from child abuse trauma, substance abuse, ungodly relationships, and the occult. And now she is an Orthodox Christian, a mom, a wife, and a storyteller, and TODAY she is here to share her story—her testimony—with us!
In this episode we discuss the dangers of occult practices like divination, tarot, sex magic & sex work, addiction, and trauma. What is idolatry, the history of Christianity, Mother Mary and how important she is, the power of relics vs. the danger of unholy things/places, demons and how they manifest, the power of the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, why should we listen to a priest, what is Orthodox Christianity, what's wrong with yoga, the sin of adultery, the power of prayer, and the blessing of our struggling and enduring till the end.
