The Counter Culture Mom Show with Tina Griffin

Michal Russo was a pastor’s daughter and an athletic college swimmer when she discovered yoga. Squeaky clean and hardworking, she wasn’t the rebellious type, but yoga, she says, opened the door to dark and oppressive forces in her life. Today, Michal is the marketing director for TCT Network and the author of How Yoga Harms: A Love Letter for Understanding Yoga From a Christian Perspective. She explains key teachings and practices of yoga, which are deeply rooted in the worship of false gods and divination. Michal also highlights a startling but convicting truth: when you open up your mind to something in spirit and in truth, you’re worshiping it, whether you want to admit it or not! Don’t worship the false gods of yoga, look to Christ as your Savior.

TAKEAWAYS

Foreign cultures see Americans’ version of yoga as a pilfering of their sacred religious beliefs

You cannot compartmentalize yoga as a Christian, and Yoga eventually seeks to control your entire identity

It’s perfectly fine to stretch and exercise - just don’t participate in the idol worship that goes along with yoga

Yoga attempts to manipulate the energy source of life, a practice that falls into the category of divination

Hope Beryl-Green never had a chance to live a normal life. She was born in Kentucky to a mother who was a breeder for the elite and then killed after giving birth. Hope was raised by hired handlers who were teachers and Baptist church attendees, and then trafficked to Jeffrey Epstein at only five years old. Her being alive today to share her story is nothing short of a miracle. Hope is an author, speaker, and survivor of sex trafficking and abuse. She dives into her harrowing experience growing up as a victim of human trafficking, and how her story intersects with the late Epstein’s, whose shadowed network of trafficking has been exposed via millions of documents finally released by the Department of Justice. Hope says the Epstein files have proven her account to be true.

TAKEAWAYS

Hope says she was a victim of brutal MKUltra for decades

She alleges that her handler family was a normal, middle-class family who attended a Baptist church

Hope says that children born in the trafficking network are assigned handlers who often appear normal in society, making it hard to spot

Epstein Island may have been used for trafficking long before Jeffrey Epstein took over

Is Islam really as dangerous as some people claim? Yes! Robert Spencer is an expert on the subject of Islamic Jihad and Sharia. He has worked with the U.S. military and the intelligence community and authored several bestselling books about this religion that aims to destroy America and inflict genocide on non-Muslims. Robert touches on the recent election of Muslim NYC Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani, and what that could mean for the once-greatest city in the world. He also highlights some of the most chilling truths about Islam and the Quran, which sanction and encourage spousal abuse. Robert points out how the U.S. government has redefined the language about fundamentalism, Sharia law, and the Quran and could use its counter-terrorism strategies against law-abiding citizens and, especially, Christians.

TAKEAWAYS

President Trump’s close friendship with Qatar is alarming, given the nation’s history of sponsoring Islam

Islam is supremacist, aggressive, political, and expansionist

Islam leaves no space for coexistence - only domination

Violent Jihad can cause a great deal of damage and destruction, even amid a failed takeover attempt

Israel has long been seen by Christians as God’s chosen people - a belief rooted in Scripture itself and the Lord’s repeated promises to the nation for thousands of years. Yet, a counterargument has emerged among many in the church, sparking both controversy and intense debate: replacement theology. This line of teaching holds that God transferred His covenant promises to the Jews over to the Gentiles or the modern Christian church. Andy Woods, the senior pastor of Sugar Land Bible Church and president of Chafer Theological Seminary, breaks down the origins of replacement theology, tracing it largely back to Augustine just decades after Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. Andy also examines the modern motivations driving the spread of replacement theology and how this idea continues to gain traction and deceive many.

TAKEAWAYS

Some political figures are advocating for a policy similar to isolationism, which could affect US support for Israel

Replacement theology is an attack on the veracity and character of God and may create a climate of spiritual insecurity

RC Sproul and D. James Kennedy were both proponents of replacement theology and led many people astray

Replacement theology may deter people from studying Old Testament passages of Scripture which makes up for 80% of the Bible
