    Episode 167 - Leaving Witchcraft, Facing Christians: Jessica Murray, Part 2

    In Part Two of our chat with Jessica Murphy from Craft to Christ, we focus on the Christian backlash she faced after leaving witchcraft and choosing to follow Jesus. Jess opens up about the judgement and suspicion she experienced from other believers, and how painful it can be when the very community meant to offer love and support becomes a source of hurt. We talk about how this impacts new converts, and what it really looks like to walk in love with those who are new to faith. This episode is a gentle but honest invitation for the Church to reflect on how we respond to radical testimonies - and to leave room for discipleship and the work of the Holy Spirit.

    Episode 165 - "Successful" Witch Leaves it all for Jesus: Jessica Murray, Part 1

    In this two-part episode of Outside of Sunday, I sit down with Jessica Murray from Craft to Christ, who shares her powerful testimony of encountering Jesus and leaving witchcraft (including her successful witchcraft business). Jess opens up about her journey from growing up around limited Christianity to becoming deeply involved in modern witchcraft. We talk about spirit guides, familiar spirits, initiation, and the spiritual deception she was caught in, as well as the opposition she faced along the way. She also shares how a real encounter with Jesus completely transformed her life. Jessica started sharing about Jesus on her platforms, lost thousands of followers - and then watched God use her testimony to lead over 1,000 people to Jesus. Next week, we’ll hear how her children have reacted to the change in their Mum, learn more about the Christian response to her booming social media page Craft to Christ, and hear how Jess is living her faith outside of Sunday.

    Episode 164 - Todd White, Discernment & Moving Forward

    In this episode of Outside of Sunday, Christa and Laura unpack further exposures within the charismatic Christian world. Drawing on their own background in faith healing spaces, they reflect honestly on figures like Todd White, discuss why these patterns have persisted for so long, and explore how gifting, charisma, and powerful testimonies can sometimes be elevated above faithfulness, character, and quiet obedience to Christ. This conversation isn’t about “charismatic vs conservative”, but about a higher calling for Christian leaders - and for all of us - to fix our eyes on Jesus, practice righteousness without performance, and grow spiritually outside of Sunday. With listener comments, links to previous episodes, and practical reflections on how we move forward, this episode is an invitation to become more discerning, more grounded, and more anchored in truth, with hope for the future of the Church.
