Show Notes
In this episode, we tackle the misunderstood world of Christian witchcraft—but not in the way you think. Dr. Robin Braun is back and shares wild but sobering stories from her work with survivors of spiritual abuse, cult infiltration in churches, and how manipulation often masquerades as ministry. We also explore spiritual gifts, quantum healing, resonance, and the fine line between authentic supernatural experiences and counterfeit. It's eye-opening, challenging, and full of hope.
