Managing Anxiety Through Faith, Finding Peace Through Christian Yoga Anxiety is a common struggle in today’s fast-paced world, leaving many feeling overwhelmed and disconnected. As Christians, we are reminded in Philippians 4:6-7, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Christian yoga offers a unique way to embody this scripture, combining physical movement, breathwork, and prayer to help manage anxiety and draw closer to God.

The Giants Are Falling It is Finished by Nate Johnston

2024-10-02T20:56:51+00:00

The Giants Are Falling—It Is Finished! A few nights ago, I had a powerful dream. In the dream, I was laying on the ground, feeling completely exhausted and battered, as if I had been in a battle for years with no victory in sight. Suddenly, I saw a sword coming down over the head of a giant that had been standing in my way—and with one swift move, it took off the giant’s head. As this happened, I heard the words, “IT IS FINISHED!” In that moment, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief. The battle that I had been fighting for [...]

Mystical Hope

2024-01-01T21:37:19+00:00

People get excited about the new year. I get it. Who of us does not look forward with expectation and hope. Maybe last year wasn’t great. Even if it was wonderful, the human spirit is drawn to what a new year promises.  I have never been one to make new year resolutions. I want the zero to sixty-five race to longer days and warmer weather. January through March is a hard time for me. The bleakness of days, and cold snaps mixed with warm weather fronts, at least on the East Coast, is annoying. So, this [...]

My Journey with God and Yoga

2023-02-17T21:40:17+00:00

My Journey with God and Yoga, Part I On a cold January morning with the snow on the ground, I woke up in the hotel close to where I’m working this week. I work all over the UK and Eire so this is just another hotel room wake-up. I stretched my toes to the end of the bed, tensed my legs, hips, stomach, arms and gritted my teeth for about five seconds before relaxing back on my bed.  I focused upon my body touching the surface beneath me and performed a body scan, top of my head to the bottom of [...]
