Warding off pagan and occult influences,

and guidance for youth gone astray

As the adage goes: "Parents of teenagers ALL live in glass houses."

Temptation beckons from every direction. Media overwhelm their senses. Our kids see a kaleidoscope of values. We need to know what they're seeing if we want to show them a better alternative.

These powerful DVDs reveal the frightening truth about spiritual dangers facing today's kids - but also what you can do to guide them to safety.

PopCulture Paganism: Wicca, Neovampirism, and the Occult - (DVD)

This documentary explores an ever-growing hysteria focusing on the supernatural. The 21st century is undoubtedly marked by such blockbuster hits as the "Harry Potter" series and "Twilight" saga, not to mention HBO's wildly popular vampire series "True Blood." What are the ties, if any, between our current infatuation with these otherworldly beings and the ancient beliefs of paganism? Have we fallen victim to the masquerade of pagan ideals?

The film investigates recent changes in society and a revival of ancient beliefs manifesting every year in the Nevada desert. With footage from the Burning Man to the celebration of the occultic festival of Saween, also known as Halloween, this film draws a comprehensive image of the impact of paganism on our culture.

Recorded in Britain, India, and the United States, "Popculture Paganism" brings together over 30 years of research and interviews with occultic experts, high-ranking witches, druids, and a former vampire. It gives viewers an understanding of the roots and dangers of this newly branded strain of paganism

Former occultists share their testimonies, responding to the lure of Wicca by describing the devastating bondage in their own lives. They conclude with deliverance through the life-changing authority of the one True God. They compare the deceptive experiences in the occult with the Peace and Joy now found in Jesus the Messiah, a showcase of His mercy and incomparable power.

Harry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged (DVD)

The final installment of the megahit "Harry Potter" series premiered last month, but do you really understand how these books and movies have affected children's understanding of spiritual things? Produced in the early years of the phenomenon, this program is an excellent primer on the dark side of "Harry Potter."

Each year, thousands of teens are turning their backs on Christianity, and joining witches' covens, in order to learn spells, so as to pass school exams, attract boyfriends or girlfriends, and get rich. The secretary of the Magic Circle Young Magicians' club, credits the Harry Potter books, as the latest rage, which he says has rekindled the childlike approach to the fact that the impossible may be possible. He gives thanks to Harry, who he says has sparked an interest in pure magic, real magic, strong magic.

As you will learn in this video:

"Many argue that Harry Potter is just merely children's fantasy, and therefore it's harmless. The lie about this is that witchcraft is reality. J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, has gone through an awful lot of research. She is very accurate, otherwise we would have witches all over the country and the world saying 'This is not a true representation of our religion.' This is a true representation of witchcraft, and the black arts and black magic, and yet we have people that say this is merely fantasy and harmless reading for our children. Actually what makes this more dangerous is that it is couched in fantasy language, and children's literature, and made to be humorous, and beautifully written, and extremely provocative reading, and it just opens up children to want to have the next one. This is what is so harmful."

"Those who say that Harry Potter's books do not teach witchcraft don't understand that one of the essentials of witchcraft is that there is no good or evil. There is no right or wrong. It is as you perceive it. So there's a sort of relativism, that in your situation if you do one thing or in my situation if I do a different thing, we're both doing the right thing even if it's wrong. There are no absolutes...In fact, throughout the books, Harry is rewarded when he deliberately lies, or deliberately does something wrong, instead of the teachers expelling him, which Harry thinks he's going to be expelled for something he did wrong, he is rewarded...It doesn't matter what this little boy does is wrong, he's rewarded for it...

Lost Boy: The Next Chapter - (DVD)

Pastor Greg Laurie’s biographical film won the Audience Favorite Best Documentary award at the 2009 Riverside International Film Festival and continues to be instrumental in bringing people into a relationship with Christ.

There are a lot of spiritual memories out there, but you've never seen one like this. Like many who came of age in the 1960s, Greg Laurie was on a search for the meaning of life. Born out of wedlock to an alcoholic mother who married seven times, Greg started drinking, partying, and taking drugs to escape the dysfunction of his family. But his life was suddenly changed when he encountered a group of young Christians on his high school campus in Newport Beach, California.

Greg has since authored more than 35 books, started what became one of the first mega-churches in the United States (Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California) as well as a far-reaching ministry (Harvest Crusades) that today touches many who are searching for meaning, just as he once was. In this film, Greg opens a window on his life and shares about his uncertainty and disappointments, his healing and growth. He remembers the beginnings of a ministry that has touched millions of people and relives the ups, downs, sudden drops, and blind corners.
