    Seeing into the Spirit Realm Nearly Destroyed Me | Jai Roza | 067 - When You Look

    What happens when curiosity about the spirit realm turns into something terrifying? In this episode of When You Look, Jai Roza shares his unbelievable journey from childhood trauma, New Age spirituality, and hearing demonic voices to a supernatural encounter that changed everything. After years of experimenting with meditation, the “third eye,” spirit communication, and dark spiritual practices, Jai became trapped in a world he could no longer control. Battling depression, suicidal thoughts, and terrifying spiritual experiences, he reached a breaking point the night he planned to end his life. But then the phone rang. What followed was an encounter Jai says silenced the voices, revealed a light unlike anything he had ever seen, and sent him on a years-long search for truth, freedom, and faith in Jesus Christ. In this conversation, we discuss: • Hearing voices and spiritual oppression • New Age spirituality and the “third eye” • Demonic encounters and spiritual warfare • Depression, trauma, and suicidal thoughts • The prayer meeting that changed everything • Faith, scripture, and transformation • The inspiration behind Eden’s Conflict Whether you’re skeptical, curious, struggling spiritually, or searching for hope, this episode will challenge the way you think about the unseen world.
