My Story
Coming Out of The Fog
Welcome. I’m glad you’re here. I’m Natalie Witcher and I’m writing this publication in order to help people come out of their own fog of bad and false theology.
I began my journey out of the fog of “me-ology” and into a life of clarity in 2021. My self-absorbed take on Christianity left me feeling less-than, alone and broken.
Since 2000 all I wanted was to experience God and to feel His presence. I wanted to know that He was mine and I was His and that I was going to live this glorious life of intense relationship with Jesus. It was coming. I knew it was. I was journaling, reading the Scripture, and learning from many women by reading their books and watching their DVDs. I was copying their disciplines and even trying to speak like they did. New authors and new teachings would come my way and I would grab hold and ride the wave of seeking Jesus again and again.
In 2015-2016 I was introduced to two new views and ideologies that led me to some of the most dangerous spiritual ideas and beliefs. The first was John Eldridge and his teachings on how to hear from Jesus. The second was the Enneagram. Throughout this newsletter, you will learn more about my journey through this.
By 2020, I began to feel as though I would never be enough.
I couldn’t be spiritual enough.
I couldn’t be “seven” enough.
I couldn’t hear from Jesus enough and I couldn’t fix enough of my issues.
Looking back I can see what it all was, but it wasn’t until 2021 when a friend of mine asked, “Have you read Alisa Childers’ new book, Another Gospel?” that I began to realize the bad and even false theology I had picked up over the years. I went to her podcast wanting to know more about deception in the church. There, I found a two-part series on the Enneagram Alisa had with Marcia Montenegro. As I listened, I felt as though I had been hit by a truck. It was as though my eyes were opened and I realized all the ways I had been deceived, not just by the Enneagram, but by so many other peoples’ teachings.
I have a deep desire to help be a part of the solution to the problem that caused me confusion and spiritual exhaustion. I know I’m not the only one. It’s time we work together to understand how easy it is to be deceived and to encourage one another in biblical discernment so that we are blessed and God is glorified.
For Him,
Natalie
