Is manifestation harmless motivation, or is there more happening beneath the surface? Former hypnotist Anthony Sereno built an audience of over a million people teaching hypnosis, manifestation, and subconscious reprogramming. But behind the success, he began encountering things he couldn't explain. In this episode of The Deep End, Anthony joins Lecrae to share what led him to walk away from his former practice and take his faith in Jesus seriously. They unpack manifestation, vision boards, the pursuit of money and fame, and how New Age ideas have made their way into Christian spaces. Anthony shares his perspective on spiritual warfare and deliverance, while Lecrae opens up about his own experience visiting a hypnotist during a season of struggling with his faith and mental health. It's an honest conversation about discernment, desperation, and what happens when surrendering to God costs you the life you built.

Life is hard and things are going to fall apart at some point or another –especially when you've experienced trauma in your life. But the problem is that most Christians can't be seen to have moments when they lose control or even struggle.

By being honest with the challenges he's faced, Lecrae is going to dive into the hard things no one else will face and talk about what life looks like when you go off the deep end. This show is not for perfect people or people who've never made mistakes. This show is for the rest of us who are just trying to pick up the pieces and find a way forward with vulnerability and honesty.
