After becoming deeply
involved in New Age practices, Karla Callan hit rock bottom and resolved to
leave that life behind. Overwhelmed by despair and living in fear, she called
on God.
After eighteen years
of involvement in witchcraft and four years in New Age practices, Karla Callan
found freedom. She has since written seven books and now hosts two podcasts.
“I’ve faced two moments of deep hopelessness. The first came when I hit rock bottom after becoming deeply involved in New Age practices and wanted to leave that life entirely. The second came when I awoke under severe spiritual warfare that felt inescapable. I experienced utter despair and felt completely separated from God; it was one of the scariest moments of my life. Even then, I knew all I had to do was call on Jesus.”
This interview is worth hearing more than once—and sharing with friends.
Karla was motivated to change her life after reaching a breaking point in the New Age world.
She had pursued one “next level” after another, yet none led to a
truly satisfying life. Her story offers a cautionary
perspective on what is
happening in the church today and how easily New Age practices can enter Christian settings.
