Charlotte spent 20 years deep in the New Age world. Manifesting, meditation, tarot, spirit guides and spiritual practices she believed were bringing light, healing and truth. But behind it all, something dark was waiting.

In this powerful episode of the Jesus Studio Podcast, Charlotte shares how terrifying night terrors, sleep paralysis and demonic encounters shattered her worldview and led her to one life-changing revelation: the name of Jesus has power.

This is a gripping testimony of deception, spiritual warfare, freedom and rescue. Charlotte opens up about her journey from atheism to New Age spirituality, and from there into a real encounter with the living God. If you’ve ever wondered what’s really behind manifestation, tarot, channeling or spirit guides, this conversation is not one to miss.

Jesus is not just a spiritual figure. He is Lord, and His name still sets people free.

Samuel grew up around church, but faith never felt real. By his late teens, he was battling depression, chasing identity through boxing, money, fitness, and partying… yet nothing filled the void.

Then lockdown hit.

Alone, broke, and at rock bottom, everything changed when he read a letter his mum had written years earlier. That moment led him to ask one question:

“Jesus… what’s the deal?”

Days later, on a beach with strangers, Samuel encountered God—and his life flipped overnight.

From depression to purpose.
From confusion to calling.
From a nightclub floor… to preaching the gospel within a year.

In this episode, Samuel shares:

• How Jesus pulled him out of his lowest moment
• The moment everything “clicked” on a beach
• His journey into global missions with YWAM
• Preaching in South America and trekking Bibles into the Amazon
• The reality check of returning home and living out faith in everyday life
• Why we are all missionaries—no matter where we are

This is a story of radical transformation, surrender, and discovering that your purpose isn’t found in what you do… but in who you’re living for.

“Love God. Love people. That’s the mission.”

Key Highlights

• [00:01:54] The "Xbox Christian" childhood and losing interest in faith.
• [00:05:40] Finding identity in boxing and the trap of "arrogance."
