Peace-Driven Leader Lounge

Episode 3: Is Yoga ‘Off-Limits’ for Christians?


Listen Later

If you’ve ever wondered, “Can I love Jesus and still explore practices like yoga or mindfulness?”… this conversation may be the one that ruffles feathers — and frees you. 🤍

In this episode of the Peace-Driven Leader™ Lounge, I’m joined by Shervon Laurice for an honest, whole-person conversation at the intersection of faith, therapy, and peace-driven leadership. We talk yoga + Christianity, authenticity, inner guidance, and why so many high-performing leaders are walking away from hustle culture and coming home to themselves.

We also explore sensitive but necessary conversations around depression, cannabis, and the growing interest in psychedelic therapy — not from hype, but from discernment, nuance, and compassion.

In this episode, we unpack:

  • The controversy + discernment around yoga and Christianity
  • Mindfulness as a tool for reconnecting to inner guidance
  • Why authenticity is a leadership discipline
  • Depression beyond the “chemical imbalance only” narrative
  • The role of cannabis and emerging conversations on psychedelic therapy

Content note: This episode discusses mental health, cannabis, and psychedelics.
