Eve’s Pagan Daughters: Exposing Counterfeits w/ Doreen Virtue

Show: Contending for the Word  •  Date: November 4, 2025  •  Host: Dave Jenkins  •  Guest: Doreen Virtue

Show Summary

Dave Jenkins welcomes Doreen Virtue to discuss her new book Eve’s Pagan Daughters and to expose how counterfeit spiritualities New Age mysticism, mindfulness-as-meditation, contemplative practices, and goddess worship seduce many, especially those wounded by trauma. Together they point to the sufficiency of Christ and Scripture as the only sure path to real peace and protection.

  • Trauma, dissociation, and why “counterfeit peace” feels persuasive.
  • Why mindfulness/contemplative techniques conflict with being sober-minded.
  • How vague theology and partial truths deceive.
  • Practical, Scripture-first Bible intake for wounded hearts.
  • Why churches must preach the gospel clearly and teach spiritual warfare.
