Teresa Yanaros

Teresa Yanaros, a degreed journalist and devout Catholic, is dedicated to addressing the growing trend of disaffiliation with religion, where many turn to 'spiritual but not religious' ideologies, leading to New Age and occult practices. Earlier in her career, Yanaros was a successful author and speaker, exploring modern American spiritualism and attempting to reconcile it with Christianity before experiencing a radical deliverance from occult deception. Now, she coaches ex-New Agers returning to Christ and provides Catholics with the tools to resist cultural traps. Through her growing ministry of online resources, classes, YouTube, and her blog Spirit Sanctified, Yanaros helps Christians stand firm against deception. In her book Freedom from Darkness, she offers a practical roadmap that explains how people become ensnared in the occult and provides a path to freedom through repentance, conversion, and the sacraments.
