The Counter Culture Mom Show with Tina Griffin

Amanda Scarborough was in a fetal position, weeping on the floor when her husband walked into their bedroom, immediately realizing that something was terribly wrong. Their baby lay crying on the bed, while Amanda had distanced herself so that she wouldn’t harm the baby. It was at that moment that she did something she hadn’t done before: she cried out for help. This is what severe postpartum depression looks like. She needed intervention, guidance, and treatment. Amanda tells her story of wrestling through the difficulties of PPD through a Biblical lens. As a business owner, wife, and mother, she has walked through some of the deepest valleys and emerged with wisdom and experience that has helped many other moms dealing with similar serious postpartum depression themselves.

TAKEAWAYS

The enemy’s tactic with postpartum depression is to keep you isolated and convince you to harm your baby and/or take your own life

When you’re IN the midst of depression, it’s often hard to find the words to describe what you’re feeling

Shame is often a big factor in PPD, which stops women from seeking help and perinatal depression manifests when the baby is still in utero

If you feel depressed, get help by calling 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline

When she was left jobless, homeless, and abandoned nearly overnight, Michal Russo realized that she had been ignoring some serious red flags about her lifestyle. God got her attention in a major way, and she promised to cast off all the stumbling blocks in her life, including her daily practice of yoga. Michal is the marketing director for TCT Network, and shares her powerful testimony - a trial by fire that opened her eyes to the dangers of mysticism, eastern religions, and the insidious influence of bloodthirsty, destructive false gods. She opens up about why she ignored yoga’s red flags and the justification behind it, how God called her out of this false religion, and why it’s so easy to get sucked into yoga practices. If you’re currently practicing yoga, it may be hard to stop, but it’s much more painful to suffer under the thumb of demonic forces.

TAKEAWAYS

Michal’s first book shares about the deception of Yoga: 7 Steps to Realign Body, Soul, Spirit

Christians often communicate incorrectly about yoga; it’s important to know what you’re up against

The mysticism that birthed yoga far predates Hinduism

If you are aligned with the Lord, don’t open yourself up to any other type of spiritual influence

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

The yoga practices of ancient times are the same yoga practices that are used today. Dr. Alana Arguello discusses this dangerous philosophy that produces various forms and practices, not always called yoga, but all of which are sorcery, aka mind magic, word magic, and body magic. Alana is a scholar, author, and podcast host of The Returning Raven. She breaks down the meaning behind yoga hand signals, phrases, and poses. Everything about yoga is designed to push you closer toward accepting yourself as a “god” and to change you into its worldview, which is a panentheistic eastern false view of god, one that is a direct counter against the biblically described true God. The music and repetitious nature of yoga are also designed to halt critical thinking and induce an altered state of consciousness.

TAKEAWAYS

Hitler’s Nazi movement is linked to the practice of yoga and even the infamous ‘swastika’ represents the four paths of yoga

‘Namaste’ is a yoga phrase that means ‘I bow to the god in you’

Modern yoga has infiltrated the Christian church worldwide

The most ancient forms of yoga come from Babylon, Egypt, and the East

Yoga. Is it a simple stretching routine, or is it something far more sinister? Dr. Alana Arguello describes yoga as a “snake in the grass” or a “sniper” waiting to strike. Alana is a highly educated author and apologist who has spent years studying the ancient roots of yoga, which predates the birth of Hinduism. She says the deception about yoga is much bigger than most people realize. It causes many spiritual side effects, like anxiety, depression, and dissociation. It is not a harmless exercise but rather a deceptive spiritual practice rooted in panentheism and idolatrous paganism, Alana argues. She explains how the seemingly harmless practice of yoga has been sold to Americans, particularly women, through the elite Luciferian occult, healing arts, and the entertainment industry.

TAKEAWAYS

The end goal of yoga is to convince people that they are ‘god’

Yoga also affirms a transhumanistic and transgender worldview

The apostate church and many heretical church movements are linked to ancient yoga philosophies

People either dismiss yoga or become defensive about it when confronted with the truth of its pagan roots
