About this listen
What happens when teachings that sound “Christian” open the door to demonic influence?
In this compelling episode, Jenn Nizza welcomes back apologist and author Melissa Dougherty to uncover the hidden spiritual dangers of the Word of Faith and New Thought movements. From declarations and “manifesting” to the idolization of healing, Melissa breaks down how these popular teachings—often found in churches—are rooted in metaphysical beliefs, not biblical truth.
Together, they examine:
- The real definitions of New Thought and Word of Faith
- The blurred lines between self-help and spiritual deception
- How affirmations, “Christ consciousness,” and the prosperity gospel distort the gospel
- The emotional pain that often drives people to these teachings
- How bad theology leads to bondage—and what true healing and faith look like
and so much more!
If you've ever heard “just believe and you'll be healed,” or wondered how affirmations and visualizations might conflict with Scripture, this episode is for you.
