Welcome to this bonus episode: "George Gurdjieff: The Occult Roots of the New Age Movement," 

Today I look into the intriguing and often controversial life and teachings of George Gurdjieff. All three parts of the this short 'between the main podcast' series of 3 podcasts were edited from a much longer single episode made available to my Patrons first on the 14th of October 2024. My goal is to examine his influence on the New Age movement from a Christian perspective, exploring the occult elements embedded within his philosophy and comparing them with the truths found in Scripture. Join me as I try to uncover the hidden aspects of Gurdjieff's teachings and their implications for contemporary Christianity.
