Is Splankna Biblical? A Conversation About Faith, Healing, and Discernment with Sarah Thiessen
Is Splankna a biblically grounded healing modality, or is it simply New Age practice presented with Christian language? In this candid conversation, Justina sits down with Sarah Thiessen, founder of Splankna, licensed marriage and family therapist, and the woman whose work has helped train more than 6,000 practitioners across nine countries. Sarah shares how her dissatisfaction with traditional approaches to emotional healing led her into a seven-year process of prayer, study, and discernment. Together, Sarah and Justina explore the difference between God’s created mechanisms and the false worldviews that can become attached to them. They address some of the most common questions and criticisms surrounding Splankna, including its relationship to energy psychology, EFT tapping, Reiki, New Age beliefs, witchcraft, muscle testing, and the subconscious mind. They also examine the heart posture behind spiritual practices and discuss why an action alone does not always reveal its spiritual source. Most importantly, they explore the dynamic tension between developing skill as a practitioner and remembering that no protocol, technique, or person is the source of healing. God is the ultimate healer. This episode invites believers to move beyond fear, assumptions, and misinformation and toward prayerful discernment, biblical truth, and an honest examination of the fruit.
