Here She Stands

Yoga is a popular practice today, especially among women. But what exactly is it? Is it simply a relaxing form of exercise or is there a deeper spiritual meaning to it?

Today we are joined by former yoga instructor and meditation coach, Tatiana Overduin from Adelaide, South Australia. Tatiana will explore the origins, beliefs, and potential consequences of yoga from a Christian perspective. She will also discuss its spiritual aspects, the use of Sanskrit words, and the subtle influence that this practice can have on Christians. This thought-provoking conversation challenges Christians to reflect on what practices they choose to participate in and why the “empowerment” message found in today’s culture is contradictory to the Christian life of repentance and humility.

SHOW NOTES

This is Tatiana’s second appearance on the Here She Stands Podcast. Here is her first episode on the topic of the Christian’s identity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRnq5Nz3nyI&t=1270s

Happy Reformation Day! On this day 506 years ago, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses onto the Castle Church door in Wittenberg.  His intention was to challenge the Roman Catholic church to debate their practice of selling indulgences as a form of penance.  This simple act started the Lutheran Reformation and brought much needed attention to the true gospel.

To celebrate such a monumental day for Lutherans, we are chatting with Kim Pfeiffer.  She will be talking about what it means to be Lutheran and the importance of our Lutheran Confessions.

Kim is married to Pastor Joshua Pfeiffer, and together they have 4 children. Originally from Adelaide, they are currently living in St Louis Missouri, where Pastor Joshua is studying his PhD and where Kim is now also studying a Masters of Arts in Theology.

Lexy may be the host of a Lutheran podcast, but she hasn’t always been Lutheran.

Before coming into the Lutheran church, she spent years in the Word of Faith/NAR movement. Her daily spiritual life included forms of gnosticism, mysticism, and “soft” occultism, which eventually resulted in spiritual oppression and confusion. In today’s episode we hear how Jesus Christ pulled her out of this darkness, gave her a love of Scripture, and brought her into the Lutheran church.
