Can New Age Practices Coexist with Christian Worship?
As New Age spirituality continues to seep into mainstream culture, many believers are left asking difficult questions: Can practices rooted in other religions truly be separated from their spiritual origins—and should they have a place in Christian worship at all?
In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I’m joined by returning guest David Libby for a serious and Scripture-centered discussion on the growing overlap between New Age practices and modern Christianity. Together, we examine whether activities often framed as neutral—such as yoga or contemplative prayer—can genuinely be reconciled with biblical faith.
This conversation challenges the assumption that spiritual practices can be stripped of their original intent. David unpacks the deeper spiritual foundations behind certain traditions and invites listeners to consider how easily worship can drift when discernment gives way to cultural acceptance.
Rather than promoting fear, this episode calls believers to awareness, biblical literacy, and spiritual vigilance. We reflect on historical examples, examine modern parallels, and discuss why maintaining purity in worship still matters deeply today.
Throughout the episode, we wrestle with questions many Christians are facing:
• Can spiritual practices rooted in other religions be redeemed for Christian use?
• How do we discern between what feels beneficial and what is biblically faithful?
• Why does Scripture consistently warn against blending worship with foreign practices?
This episode invites listeners to slow down, examine their assumptions, and return to God’s Word as the foundation for spiritual discernment—seeking faithfulness over convenience and truth over trend.

Ana is the host of the Honest Christian Conversations podcast and a prodigal saved by God’s unending grace.
She grew up in a legalistic Christian home where asking questions often felt wrong. In her early twenties, overwhelmed by confusion and hurt, she walked away from her faith. Yet even then, God’s love never stopped pursuing her. At thirty years old—and after a painful second divorce—He brought her back to himself, and she has never looked back.
As Ana returned to Christ, she began rebuilding her faith from the ground up and asked the questions she once feared to ask. Along that journey, she discovered inconsistencies, misplaced teachings, and even lies woven into the Christianity she grew up with. Instead of destroying her faith, this only deepened it. Out of that discovery, she founded Honest Christian Conversations. Ana's heart is to help others navigate the same tension she once lived with: wanting to know the real Jesus while sorting through the noise of deceptive teachings, spiritual manipulation, and “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”
Everything she creates flows from gratitude for the God who rescued her, restored her, and continues to shape her into who He intended her to be.
