I believe in manifesting. I believe in putting something out there. I believe in seeing the possibility of something before it happens. I believe in asking for what you want, praying about it, doing what you can to move toward it, and believing that it can happen. But here's where I seem to be different from a lot of what I hear about manifestation: I can't keep manifesting it every day. And I'm not sure we're supposed to. If I want something in my life, I can be very clear about it. I can pray about it. I can put the intention out there. I can believe that it's possible. But then I have to let it go. I can't wake up every morning thinking, Okay, I need to manifest this again today. To me, that almost feels like the opposite of believing. If I've prayed about something and truly believe I've been heard, why do I have to keep reminding God—or the universe, or myself—of what I want? At some point, doesn't belief require trust? Maybe I'm Manifesting Differently I hear people talk about visualization, affirmations, vision boards, repeating what they want every day, and living as though they've already received it. There's nothing wrong with any of that if it works for you. But it has never felt natural to me. My approach is much simpler. I know what I want. I pray about it. I believe it's possible. I do my part. And then I try to get out of the way. That last part may be the hardest. Because letting go doesn't mean I suddenly don't care about the outcome. It doesn't mean I don't have doubts. And it certainly doesn't mean that I never think about it again. It means I'm trying not to control every detail of how it's supposed to happen. And that's where manifestation and faith come together for me. Prayer Is Part of My Manifestation I'm a Christian. Prayer is important to me. So when I'm asking for something significant in my life, I'm not simply throwing a wish out into the universe and waiting for something magical to happen. I'm talking to God. Sometimes I'm asking for something very specific. Other times I'm asking for direction because I don't know what the answer should be.

Throughout my career as a professional intuitive — yes, a psychic — I have intentionally distanced myself from tarot cards and psychic phone lines. That doesn't mean I believe every tarot reader is bad or that nobody has ever had a meaningful experience with one. I can only tell you why I chose a very different path. Why I Don't Use Tarot Cards When I first began my professional practice more than 20 years ago, I looked into tarot. I wanted to understand it, but I quickly realized it wasn't for me. I've never needed cards to receive information. My intuitive ability came naturally to me, and I believe that gift comes from God. There was also something about tarot that made me think. Tarot is built around established cards, imagery, symbols and interpretations. People can take classes to learn what those cards traditionally represent. Someone once posed a question to me that has stuck with me ever since: If 10, 20 or 100 people are sitting in a class learning how to interpret the same cards and symbols, what makes one person's reading different from everyone else's? That's an interesting question. And it leads to an even bigger one: Where does intuition end and the interpretation of the card begin? For me, I don't want anything between the client, Spirit and the information I'm receiving. I don't want to look down at cards and explain what a symbol might mean. I want to listen to you, hear your questions, receive what comes to me and have a real conversation about it. I'm also not an entertainment psychic. My clients are active participants in their readings. Ask me the question. Tell me what you need clarity about. Let's get to it. And Then There Are Psychic Phone Lines... Oh, don't get me started. I'll try to keep this short. Over my career, I tried working with a few psychic phone services. I didn't last. One of the biggest problems for me was the pay-per-minute business model. Think about it. You're paying by the minute and the reader says:

My Faith Has Always Come First By Christian Psychic Medium Troy Griffin Helping People Find Clarity Through God-Given Intuition For me, faith has never been something I added to my work. My faith has always come first. I am a Christian. I pray. I believe in God. And I believe the intuitive ability I have been given comes from God. I also understand that putting the words Christian and Psychic Medium together may make some people uncomfortable. I understand the questions. I understand the skepticism. I've wrestled with some of those questions myself. I never set out to become a psychic. When this ability first became apparent to me, I didn't immediately understand what was happening or where it would lead. I prayed about it. I questioned it. I asked God for direction. Eventually, I had to stop worrying about what other people might call it and pay attention to what I believed God was asking me to do with it. For more than 20 years, I've used this ability to help people looking for clarity, direction, reassurance, and sometimes simply an answer during a difficult moment in their lives. Faith Before a Reading Prayer is part of my life, including my work. I don't use tarot cards. I don't use crystal balls, runes, or other divination tools. I don't perform rituals. When someone sits down with me, what they get is simply me. I listen. I pray. I trust what comes naturally, and I share the information I receive as clearly and honestly as I can. I don't claim to have every answer. I am not 100% accurate, and I've never claimed to be. The messages and words are for you. I'm simply the messenger. My responsibility is to use what I believe God has given me with integrity and compassion. Can Someone Be Christian and Psychic? This is probably one of the biggest questions surrounding what I do. My answer is simple: I am. I'm not asking anyone else to change their beliefs. I'm not asking Christians to agree with me. And I'm certainly not trying to replace anyone's relationship with God.

Please let me know your thoughts, or ask a question.

One of the questions I've been thinking about lately is this: If tarot readers around the world use many different decks, why do their cards usually have similar meanings? And if that's true, why don't psychics always receive the same information? It's a fair question—and an important one. Tarot Has a Shared Language If you've ever looked at tarot decks, you've probably noticed there are thousands of different designs. Some are modern, some are vintage, some are fantasy-themed, and others reflect different cultures and artistic styles. Yet, if you ask a trained tarot reader about the Ten of Cups, chances are they'll describe it as representing emotional fulfillment, relationships, harmony, or happiness. Why? Because most tarot readers are learning from the same symbolic foundation. The artwork may change, but the underlying meanings are rooted in long-established traditions. In many ways, tarot is like learning a language. The symbols are shared, and readers learn how to interpret them. Every reader brings their own experience and intuition to the reading, but they begin with the same symbolic framework. My Approach Is Different Many people are surprised to learn that I don't use tarot cards, oracle cards, crystals, pendulums, or other divination tools in my readings. Instead, I work directly with the impressions I receive. Sometimes those impressions come as words. Sometimes they come as images. Sometimes they're simply a strong sense of knowing. Other times, they're subtle feelings that begin to make sense as the conversation unfolds. Because of that, there isn't a deck of cards or a guidebook I'm interpreting. I'm listening. So Why Don't All Psychics Say the Same Thing? This is where the conversation becomes interesting. If you gave 100 tarot readers the same card, most would begin with a similar interpretation because they're speaking the same symbolic language. If you asked 100 intuitives to tune into the same person or situation, the responses might be very different.
