  • In this episode of the Redeem podcast, host Lauren Burns sits down with Carey Cohill to explore her transformative journey from a spiritually unfulfilling life rooted in religious ritualism to one of profound faith in Jesus Christ.

After moving to Florida and experiencing personal hardships, Carey describes how she ultimately found genuine peace and purpose by surrendering to Jesus and building a personal relationship with Him. The episode delves into the dangers of New Age beliefs, the significance of having a relationship with Jesus rather than following religious rituals, and the importance of focusing on eternal life rather than worldly comforts.
