From New Age to New Life: One Woman's Amazing Story | Kara Seymour
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Kara Seymour was deeply entrenched in the New Age movement as a Kundalini yogi. She was also thoroughly convinced that Christians were judgmental, boring, and brainwashed. So she was as surprised as anyone when she met a group of Christian women who became her new best friends.
I can't wait for you to hear her amazing story of transformation, the judgment she felt outside and inside the Church, and how her relationship with Jesus has changed her life.
We're kicking off our Judgy series, where we're looking at stories of judgment and mercy from the Bible and how to live like it's true that our God is a merciful Judge. I'm weaving in some thoughts about several Bible stories of mercy into my conversation with Kara.
Also, I shared several stories from this conversation with Kara in my new book, Kinda Judgy!
If you're tired of being judged—or even more tired of being so judgy, grab a copy of my new book with Moody Publishers: Kinda Judgy: Finding Mercy for Myself and Others in Six Stories of the Bible. As we step into the stories of Noah, Rahab, Jonah and others, we'll not only get biblical clarity on judgment and mercy, we'll encounter the One who melts our judgy hearts with His lavish mercy. Ready to lay down your gavel? Come find mercy for yourself and others in this six week study.

Guest: Kara Seymour
Kara Seymour's life was radically transformed by the power of the gospel. After spending over 20 years deeply immersed in New Age spirituality—both personally and professionally—she encountered Jesus in January 2024 in a way that completely upended her worldview. Within weeks, she surrendered her life to Him, walked away from deception, and stepped into the freedom only Christ can offer. Today, Kara leads Pasta + Prayers, an online community of over 200 women around the world, where she helps others discover the truth of God’s Word through faith, fellowship, and homemade pasta.
