To go a little deeper on this topic, Dr. White recently wrote a blog titled “Alexa, Do Not Hypnotize Me.” The conversation also touched on the world of the occult. Dr. White delivered a message series at Mecklenburg Community Church called “Paranormal,” a four-week series to address culture's ever-increasing obsession with the occult. Also popping up in the conversation was a discussion about yoga. You can get the .mp3 of an installment from a series called, “Is it Okay for a Christian to… do yoga?” For those of you who are new to Church & Culture, we'd love to invite you to subscribe (for free of course) to the twice-weekly Church & Culture blog and check out the Daily Headline News - a collection of headlines from around the globe each weekday.
