Show: New Age to Christ with Doreen Virtue
Episode Theme: Jesus Is the Light of the World
Episode Summary
In this New Age to Christ devotional, Doreen Virtue continues the 52 week study on the attributes of God and focuses on Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Holy Trinity. She explains how the Bible reveals that Jesus is truly God and truly man, not a mere teacher, guide, or ascended master, and why this matters for our salvation and daily walk. Drawing from John 8:12 and related passages, she reflects on Jesus as the Light of the World, the one who shines truth into the darkness and guides believers through His Word.
Doreen also encourages listeners to trust God in trials, to turn quickly to prayer and Scripture, and to share the gospel with those still in spiritual darkness. Through personal testimony and practical examples, she points women coming out of New Age and New Thought to the true Jesus of Scripture, whose light never changes and whose gospel alone saves.

Before her salvation, Doreen frequently appeared on Oprah, CNN, The View, Coast to Coast and other liberal secular media. After the Holy Spirit convicted her of her sins, while she read Deuteronomy 18:10-12, Doreen repented and gave her life to Jesus as her Lord and Savior.
