Summary
Mary welcomes new guest Alana Arguello, author of “Unearthing Yoga’s Ancient Roots”. She serves on the board of The International Society of Christian Apologetics. Her book, “Unearthing Yoga’s Ancient Roots” take us on an in-depth tour of its dark history. Yoga is considered by many in the church as a grey area. When it comes to practices like this, which is Hinduism no matter how Christians justify or sanitize it, we must be extra careful to guard our hearts and minds – and choose wisely when bringing these things into the church. Is it a philosophy? Idolatry? Stretching exercises to keep our temple limber? A question of balance, as the pop tune goes? Alana has carefully parsed out the dangers to the church regarding the roots, the branches and the fruit of this practice. She has done the church a great service in connecting the dots between the lie in the garden and what churches think is just “exercise”. We will discuss, define and prescribe the solutions as given us in the Scriptures.
