Yoga and Spiritual Warfare, Why the Roots Matter for Christians

Yoga is often presented as harmless exercise or wellness, but its origins tell a different story. This episode examines the spiritual foundations of yoga and explains why those roots cannot be separated from the practice itself.

Drawing from Scripture, this teaching shows that yoga was designed as a spiritual pathway connected to Hindu deities, not as neutral stretching. The Bible consistently warns that participation in idolatrous practices opens the door to spiritual confusion and warfare. Christians are called to submit to God, resist the devil, and close every spiritual foothold that opposes Christ.

Using passages such as James 4:7, Acts 19:18–20, and 1 Corinthians 10:20–21, this episode calls believers to biblical discernment and wholehearted devotion to Christ alone.
