In episode 677: Real-Life Upside Down, Patti shares her remarkable journey from being deeply involved in New Age occult practices, including tarot card reading, astrology, and shamanism, to experiencing intense and terrifying paranormal phenomena such as sleep paralysis and demonic attacks. Raised in a family that embraced these practices, Patti recounts vivid experiences of alien abductions and spiritual warfare. Her story takes a dramatic turn when her father, a former shaman, converts to Christianity, leading her to question and eventually abandon her occult beliefs. She describes her struggle with demonic oppression, culminating in a life-altering encounter that drives her to seek refuge in Christianity. Through her life story, Pattie highlights the dangers of occult practices and emphasizes the importance of spiritual protection, especially for children. Her life is a powerful testament to the transformative power of faith and the reality of spiritual warfare.
