Heaven & Healing Podcast is a Christian podcast centered on Jesus Christ, biblical truth, and spiritual transformation.
Formerly known as Moon and Back Podcast, this show originally explored astrology, yoga, New Age spirituality, and self-healing practices. In October 2021, the host encountered Jesus Christ and accepted Him as Lord and Savior. By December of that year, the Holy Spirit led a complete rebrand and public renunciation of New Age beliefs, firmly declaring a new identity in Christianity.
On February 22, 2022, Heaven & Healing Podcast was officially born.
Each episode features powerful testimonies of salvation through Christ, including stories from former New Agers, witches, atheists, addicts, and others who experienced radical transformation through Jesus. The podcast also includes conversations with biblical scholars and teachers who unpack the historical context, theology, and meaning of Scripture.
Additional episodes explore personal faith journeys, cultural and political commentary, spiritual warfare, discernment, and how God’s Word applies to modern life.
Whether you are a committed believer, a skeptic, or someone searching for truth, Heaven & Healing Podcast exists to point listeners to Jesus Christ, repentance, freedom, and healing through the Gospel.
This podcast is for anyone seeking truth—in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

Welcome back to Heaven & Healing Podcast — the first episode of 2023! This is my special “One Year with Jesus” anniversary episode where I share the synopsis of my testimony for anyone who hasn’t heard it before and from there reflect on what my first full year walking with the Lord has been like.
The episode starts with the background context of where I’m coming from: New Age spirituality, obsessed with ‘self-healing’ modalities such as tarot, astrology, yoga, reiki, crystal healing and more. I discuss how even though I spent nearly a decade entrenched in those things, there was never true, substantial healing — only bouts of relief that would eventually perpetuate more patterns of bad behavior, anxiety and chronic depression.
I was 27 years old, curled up on my kitchen floor ready to end my life when I called out to Jesus Christ for the first time in September 2021. By late December 2021, after straddling the fence of “New Age Christianity” for several months, I finally laid my life before the Lord’s feet in conviction of the Holy Spirit and, by the grace of God, surrendered faith to Jesus Christ entirely.
Christ healed my relationship anxiety, my ongoing depression, my lustful tendencies and my bondage to demonic deception of NA.
A year later, I continue to be sanctified by God’s peace that surpasses all understanding.
In this episode, I share what it was like with my NA circle after I came to know Jesus, how my mom’s salvation followed my own, give a look into my relationship with my fiancé before and after his experience finally coming-to-Christ, reflect on the difference in how I handle struggles before I knew Jesus vs. now, share some things I am accused of with maintaining my platform, praise God for the opportunities He has given me to glorify Himself, discuss the way God has both humbled my theology and allowed me to embrace my freedom in Christ post-NA where I was afraid of demonic deception.
There’s a special message for unbelievers at the end that I pray God will use to reach ears to listen.
Finally, I conclude with an important announcement regarding future exclusive content.
Thanks for the support this year. All glory to God!

The long awaited Heaven & Healing episode 17: The Truth About Yoga is finally here!
First and foremost, thank you so much for your patience with me as my transition moving from Pennsylvania to Tennessee has presented me with more challenges than anticipated, particularly with the set up of my new studio.
I want to preface this by saying THANK YOU for your donations. Thanks to you, the set up you see here - from desk, to chair, to lighting to background props was made possible due to your generosity. That being said, there is still much work to be done with this space. You can clearly hear the echo in this episode (which made me doubt if I should even post it at this time) and although I purchased and installed many soundproof panels for the walls, they all literally fell off within the first hour — hence, echo. I apologize for that. I am working on it.
If you would like to sow into my mission of exposing deceptions of New Age spirituality and the secular world, and aid me plant seeds for the Kingdom in sharing gospel and the truth of Christ with high quality production that will really help get Heaven & Healing into more people’s eyes and ears, then please consider a financial contribution to this ministry here: https://donorbox.org/heaven-healing-podcast-ministry (link in bio) or my Venmo $angelamarieucci
In this conversation, I dive deep into the history, definitive context, and pagan-dominant roots of yoga. The research I share with you in this episode really goes to show how the yoga practice is intrinsically curated for the purposes of both self-salvation and worship of Hindu gods, and therefore cannot be seen as separate from these objective truths regardless of the yogi’s subjective intent to practice.
Of all New Age/mindfulness/occultist (whatever you want to call it) practices, yoga is the one thing that I get the most push back from from Christians and non-Christians alike, claiming that yoga is totally experiential and simply innocuous stretching — so this episode is to educate Christians especially on this topic, so that moving forward, an informed decision can be made within the context of the yoga practice: does it truly bring glory to God to abide in a pagan vine that can never produce holy fruit?
I discuss the history, definitions, design and spiritual context surrounding the yoga practice, explaining why/how it is a physical divination practice and supplement Scripture as the testament to that truth, breakdown the difference between yoga and stretching, and present some alternative modalities of exercise.

In this episode of Heaven & Healing Podcast, I speak with an ex-psychic medium, Jenn Nizza Hofacker. Jenn had a very successful career in psychic mediumship before crying out to Jesus Christ in a moment of desperation. After that moment, everything changed for her — she went to church, felt the conviction of the Holy Spirit and are home to read what the Bible says about psychic mediumship only to find that it is an abominable sin worthy of death in the sight of the Lord and that there is absolutely nothing in Scripture to support connection or communion with deceased loved ones.
Jenn has since dedicated her life’s work to Christ and the integrity of Scripture, exposing the demonic deception of psychic mediumship and other occultist practices. She has published two books, From Psychic to Saved & Out of the New Age and Into the Truth and has an online ministry where she shares the very real dangers of psychic consultation.
In this conversation, Jenn shares her testimony of how she came to know Christ and from there we unpack the truth about psychic mediums — how it is not our departed friends and family they receive their esoteric knowledge from, but rather demons in disguise.
We talk about how the devil is a liar, how he and his demonic minions want to destroy us, and how cunningly crafty they are at posing as grandma or uncle Joe or your childhood friend when you visit a psychic medium, deceiving both you AND psychic with the grave consequence of leading you away from Jesus, God and the Holy Bible — thus, guiding you toward eternal condemnation.

In this episode, I interview Samuel Perez, “a former gay stripper turned whole hearted follower of Jesus. After being involved In the homosexual lifestyle and experiencing severe depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts; Samuel turned to God.
With open and extended arms, God's saving and transformational grace allowed for a complete change in his identity and purpose. Samuel's mission is to preach his testimony and experiences of his life in the LGBTQ community, to believers and non-believers. Hoping to inspire others that the love of God is transformational and correcting. His vision includes educating the church on those who struggle with same-sex attraction, and proper biblical interpretation and helping those whom struggle with SSA find comfort and encouragement towards an all encompassing and consuming love in Jesus Christ.” (Excerpt from Samuel’s website)
I ask some of the questions all of us have as believers (and even as non-believers) when it comes to homosexuality as it relates to Scripture, and Samuel does an excellent job breaking down some heretical issues within the church surrounding this culturally inflamed topic, and offers approachable solutions to how we, as the body of Christ, can share God’s Word in truth and love with members of the LGBTQ community.
While Scripture teaches that homosexual acts are sinful, these Bible verses aren't about condemning homosexuals, gays, lesbians, or transgender people. Rather, they are God's loving warning and offering of grace for those who have strayed from His will for sex.
We live in a fallen world with a fallen nature, but in Christ, we can be new creations.

In this episode, I talk about how when New Agers specifically begin our walk with Christ, we tend to approach the world with kid-gloves because we have PTSD from the horrific deception we were spellbound by in NA and are terrified of the devil tricking us again, especially because we have finally received the true fulfillment we had been in a futile search for before surrendering to Jesus. Because of that, we tend to over-credit Satan and give him way too much clout that he does not deserve. As believers in Christ — as children of God — we should not overestimate the devil in this way.
By the same token, I discuss how Scripture says that Satan does indeed blind the minds of unbelievers. Therefore, while believers should not underestimate the devil… un-believers should certainly not underestimate him. Un-believers need to be made consciously aware of Satan’s wickedness, snares, deceit and malignancy. More importantly, they need to be made aware of the Good News — Jesus loves them unconditionally and can redeem them from the Evil ONe.
Additionally, I speak on how when we constantly shift the blame for all haphazards, wrongdoings and negativity in life, we lack taking responsibility for our own infallible nature. The Bible tells us that our fleshly desires wage war against our soul and that the wages of sin are death. This speaks volumes to the powerful nature of sin and temptation. More often than not, it’s not the devil messing us up — it’s us submitting to the flesh. While Satan certainly cheers on your destructions, he is not always the inherent cause of them.
The punchline of this episode is this: GOD IS SOVEREIGN OVER SATAN. The devil DOES NOT have unlimited power as God does. He cannot do anything outside of the boundaries God has set in place for him; he cannot wreak havoc on anything without God’s providence. Ultimately, Satan is God's subordinate, not His opposite equal.

In episode 13 of Heaven & Healing Podcast “Neutrality is a Myth” I have a great talk with my dear brothers in Christ, Jeremiah Andrews and Andrew Soncrant — the brilliant minds behind the The Cultish Show @thecultishshow !
Most of the time Jeremiah and Andrew are are hosting a conversation — this time, they are being hosted, and it will definitely make you wish they were more often! Hearing these two speak never fails to blow my mind. Praise God for how He is using Jeremiah and Andrew as the true hands and feet of Christ.
We start this conversation off by sharing both Jeremiah and Andrew’s individual testimonies of how they each came to know Jesus, and then dive into the birth-story of their podcast Cultish. From there, we get into a lengthy discussion all about how neutrality is a myth, covering different apologetic subjects all ultimately within the realm of relativism. We talk abut agnostics, new age-ism, secularism, and other religions — how these varied worldviews, as the antithesis of Christianity, are all either entirely self-refuting in their beliefs/claims or simply borrow from the Christian worldview to make their case.
For Christians, this is a helpful episode to take note of those questions/ideologies that the unbelievers, apostates, spiritualists or “indifferent” people in your life may challenge you with regarding your faith.
FOR those unbelievers, apostates, spiritualists and “indifferent” folk, this would be a great episode for you to listen to with a willingness to be wrong and to learn new things.
The truth is, everyone looks at life from a religious bias, in terms of what or who has the ultimate authority (God, man, reason, nature, etc). Even atheists are not neutral because their policy is determined on the presupposition that there is no God.
There IS no neutrality in anything. Especially with Christ.

In episode 12 of Heaven & Healing Podcast, I have a conversation with my new friend in Christ Matt Reynolds. Matt is a trans man born a biological female who transitioned as a young adult, and came to know Jesus in a moment of desperation when calling on the Lord’s help, after realizing how the whole of the LGBTQ movement itself (not necessarily the whole community) is quite evidently on a mission to indoctrinate the youth.
This episode is not about transgenderism as a sin — though it is a sin that nevertheless can be washed clean by the blood of Jesus, as it did for Matt — but rather, it is about the sin of harming children. The goal is to shine light on a dark, controversial topic that everyone, especially Christians, need to stop tip-toeing around because what is happening to our kids is dangerous and children are God’s most precious commodity.
Matt is the best candidate to discuss this topic with, being a member OF the LGBTQ community who now sees through the lens of Christianity. The discussion is fiery, informative, raw, sometimes disturbing, and thought-provoking.
We talk about how Matt came to know Christ, the horrific truth about the transition process that no one warns gender-dysphoric folk about, the realities OF gender dysphoria as a mental illness or a potential result of childhood v*c****s based on data, the de-population agenda 2030 plan as it correlates to LGBTQ movement, and of course about how this movement has been heavily indoctrinating children as young as 3 in schools (and in public: IE “Drag Your Kids to Pride” show) with this agenda, which leads us into revealing the most awful component of all: how this is all a gateway of normalizing p3d0philia and eventual transhumanism.
Matt is articulate, educated and well-versed — with real science, evidence, studies and experience on this topic — and what’s more is Matt’s desire to glorify God in exposing the treacherous reality of this subject: ultimately all of this has the dark, sinister agenda to bring disorder and chaos to God’s design for men, women and children.
You don’t want to miss this conversation, Christian or not, especially if you have kids in public school.

Episode 11 of Heaven & Healing Podcast, “From a Life of Psychedelics, Heavy Drugs, Over-dose and Depravity to a New Life in Christ | with Joshua Zatkoff” is OUT NOW on Youtube, Apple and Spotify, where Josh shares the compelling two-part testimony of how he came to know Jesus.
Before knowing God, Joshua was a heavy drug user which landed him in unfortunate situations such as incarceration, rehabilitation centers, and even instances of overdose that left him on the brink of death. Though he considered himself well-versed across the drug spectrum, a lot of his use did include a variety of psychedelics.
In this conversation, Josh tells the story of how his degenerate lifestyle led him to repentance and genuine faith in Jesus’ saving grace. But it doesn’t end there. Josh talks abut something that isn’t necessarily considered a popular topic amongst believers: back-sliding. He speaks on how his discouragement of others rejecting Jesus sort of took him back to drugs he swore away from, and shares a supernatural encounter he had with God after compromising himself by taking mushrooms again where he finally understood the magnitude of his sin, his foolishness of faith in self, the simultaneous loving wrath of our Lord, the dangers of psychedelics and the undeserved mercy of Christ that left him running back into the Fathers’ arms once and for all.
Josh’s story is an inspiring example in so many facets. It shows how you are truly never too far gone to accept Jesus. It shows how incredibly patient Jesus is. It shows how very real the threat of spiritual warfare is at all times. It shows how important it is for Christians to remain diligent in Christ rather than of the world. It shows the essence of sin. It shows how God truly is both eternally loving and fiercely wrathful all at once.
We talk about psychedelics, back-sliding, New Ageism what it means to be a new creation in Christ and so much more.

In the tenth episode of Heaven & Healing Podcast, I take on a huge topic: the evil of the music industry.
Throughout my teenage years and most of my twenties, I accredited music to saving my life. I idolized musicians, their lyrics and artistry to the point where I genuinely felt as though music was the solitary thing keeping me from suicide. I was depressed, broken and traumatized — and the one thing I found my salvation in was music. Of course, in hindsight, I recognize that the healing I was searching for in music could only ever be found in Jesus Christ, but back then I didn’t know better. That’s why this episode is such a huge deal for me: I am crushing my own idols.
In this episode, I explain the actual science of music — how the frequencies disrupt our natural bioelectrical currents, sending us into an alpha state where we lose our necessity to critically reason, thus literally having the capacity to change our character, sense of morality and spirituality. From there, I talk about what the Bible says God’s design is for music and how the devil has infiltrated that purpose as I go through the history of music and why 1953 is where everything changed for the worse. Of course, the history of the music industry cannot be discussed without the person responsible for inspiring it all: Aleister Crowley, a wicked man who rejected his parents’ devout Christianity by creating his own religion Thelema, a gnostic philosophy founded on libertinism. I break down how all famous secular music, from classic rock to modern hip-hop/rap/pop, stands on the pillars of Crowleian & Satanic structures — from the lyrics, to the symbolism, to the shows, to to the videos and how they use that alpha state to brainwash the masses.
We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
1 John 5:19
The devil rules the world and the world controls the music.
It’s quite simple. Control the music = control the masses.
I close on a hopeful note, reminding you that God is sovereign and the Bible tells us that this music, the devil, and his followers, will be destroyed.

On the longest recorded episode of Heaven & Healing Podcast to date, I bring on my very best friend Alyssa Linker. Alyssa has been praying for my salvation for two+ decades and we have walked through every season of life together since we were 3. She is a born and raised Christian of a nuclear family unit, whereas I am just now coming to Christ as I approach my thirties and was raised by a single mother.
In this episode, we talk about the stark contrast of our upbringings and highlight the important advantage Alyssa had growing up in a nuclear, biblical family over me whose mom gave more love than I knew what to do with, but unfortunately did not know how crucial Christ was as the foundation of that love.
Alyssa spent her twenties walking within the guidelines of Scripture and because of her choice to maintain the obedience to the Lord she was taught in adolescence, she is now a happily, newly married homemaker with a God-fearing husband who provides for their household. She is flourishing as a woman as she prepares to expand their family. I, on the other hand, spent most of my twenties “following my truth,” living as a feminist, and going down one occultist hole after the other — and am still underway a heavy sanctification process as the Lord cleans house.
The difference lies in what she had over what I didn’t: a mom AND dad — two Christian parents who live as God calls us to, and as a result, raised extremely capable, functional, poised, virtuous children that are servants of Christ.
With this conversation, Alyssa and I get into how NECESSARY it is in this world to build a nuclear family on biblical principles to eradicate the sicknesses of fatherlessness, divorce, violence, sexual promiscuity and abortion that feminism has infected society with.
Feminism ultimately seeks to dismantle traditional family paradigms as they are deemed “patriarchal” and “oppressive” in modern culture. Alyssa and I debunk those myths with data, facts, history, and Scripture. We encourage women to submit to Christ and thus embrace the true integrity of womanhood rather than cheap thrills of feminism.
REAL empowerment lives in the truth God’s Word provides.
