Send us a textAs a lifelong church-goer, follower of Jesus, and former CCM recording artist with the Dove award-winning group ZOEgirl, Alisa Childers experienced a period of profound doubt about her faith in her mid-thirties. She felt as though she had been tossed into a stormy ocean of uncertainty with no life jacket or lifeboat in sight. She didn't know where to find answers to her questions, or if answers existed at all. Did she have to accept it all on some kind of blind faith? Alisa began to investigate her faith intellectually—she took seminary classes and read everything she could get her hands on. This began her journey from unreasoned doubt into a vibrant, rational, and informed faith.

Hey, look! Two episodes in one year! I'm on a roll...Anyway, in this episode, I give my thoughts about a short clip from Cross Examined where Alisa Childers seemingly puffs up Frank Turek's ego while bemoaning how she felt guilty for not being able to stop her friend from leaving the faith.Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaBc7x77zM8––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––For more thought-provoking content, head over to the Tall Friendly Atheist Dad blog at http://www.tallfriendlyatheistdad.com, check out the tweets at http://www.twitter/com/tfadpod, and check out the book "The Best Religion For The Task At Hand" available on iTunes and Google Play.––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Music courtesy of Victim Of Illusion from the album “Invisible Light”.Website: https://victimofillusion.bandcamp.com/Support independent artists such as Victim Of Illusion by purchase their album direct from https://victimofillusion.bandcamp.com/album/invisible-light––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Should Christians Deconstruct Their Faith?  Do you have a loved one who is deconstructing their faith, and are you struggling to know how to respond? Are you trying to understand the radical spiritual makeover your friend or family member is going through? Maybe your relationship with a loved one has been strained or even cut off because of your “toxic” Christian beliefs and you don't know what to do. Maybe you're experiencing doubt yourself and facing hard questions about truth, God, the Bible, theology and the gospel. In this timely interview Jonathan Morrow talks with popular author and speaker Alisa Childers about these and other important questions.A movement called ‘deconstruction' is sweeping through our churches and it is affecting our loved ones. It has disrupted, dismantled, and destroyed the faith of so many, and this book can help you not only understand what's happening but also stand your ground and respond with clarity and confidence.Some who leave the faith feel wounded by the church. Others feel repressed by some of the moral imperatives found in Scripture. For some, it leads to a custom-made spirituality. For others, deconstructing their faith leads them away from the truth into agnosticism, atheism, the occult, or humanism.Get the new book - The Deconstruction of Christianity: What It Is, Why It's Destructive, and How to Respond by Alisa Childers and Tim BarnettAbout the Book:This book will help you understand what deconstruction is, where it comes from, why it is compelling to some, and how it disorients the lives of so many. You will be able to think through the main issues around faith deconstruction and explore wise and loving ways to respond from a biblical worldview.

Is going through a time of doubting the same as deconstruction? This crucial question has consequential implications.

The deconstruction movement seems to be growing; the tearing down of historic Christian faith, and truth in general. But thankfully, God’s Word is living and lighting the path of those who seek Him.

Send us a textAre we in a uniquely pivotal moment for Christians to shape culture? As interest in the Bible and openness to Christianity seem to be on the rise, believers might have a unique window of opportunity to disciple the nations. But how should we approach this exciting challenge?Today, we sit down with well-known author, speaker, and podcaster, Alisa Childers to go over the three predominant approaches to Christian cultural engagement, as outlined by theologian Owen Strachan in his clarifying article, “One ‘Holy Nation' in Christ: Christian Nationalism in Historical and Theological Perspective.” You'll hear us wrestle with each approach's pitfalls. Could there be another way? Hear Alisa share her perspective on whether a “fourth way” exists—one that remains faithful to Scripture while effectively influencing society as a whole.Join us for a thought-provoking and relevant discussion on faith, culture, and the role of Christians in our exciting contemporary moment.View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!

What does it look like to be biblical and counter-cultural when it comes to walking in unity today? Conversations around race, tolerance, social justice, racial reconciliation, and critical theory can be challenging and confusing, but what does a biblical approach look like? In this podcast, Jonathan Morrow had a conversation with Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager, about their new book Walking in Unity: Biblical Answers to Questions on Race and Racism.Get a copy of Walking in Unity: Biblical Answers to Questions on Race and Racism Monique Duson is the President at the Center for Biblical Unity. She has a background in social service and children's ministry. She has worked with a diverse array of under-served communities. She worked as a Missionary to South Africa for over four years, serving children and teachers impacted by drugs, violence, and trauma. She spent two decades advocating for Critical Race Theory (CRT), but through a series of events, she began to clearly see the contradictions of CRT with the historic Christian worldview. Monique is now convinced that CRT is not the best way to achieve racial unity and actively speaks out against the use of CRT within the church. Monique has appeared on shows such as Relatable (with Allie Beth Stuckey), the Alisa Childers podcast, and Breakpoint (with John Stonestreet). Monique has a BA in Sociology from Biola University, and is pursuing an MA in Public Theology at Birmingham Theological Seminary.Krista Bontrager is a fourth-generation Bible teacher. She is an author, podcaster, former university professor and homeschool mom.

[Original airdate: 1/16/24) We chat with author, blogger and speaker Alisa Childers on the topic of "deconstructing" Christianity; what it is, why it's destructive and how to respond. With terms like "ex-vangelical" and "toxic" faith/Christianity/church being tossed around, it would appear we have a postmodern exit demographic to deal with. Is it anti-authority, the desire to not be "hemmed in" by moral imperatives, or is it something different? Counselors are standing by, not because they care about the person's salvation, but rather getting them what they want - to be free of the Christianity they have been exposed to or raised in. In a way, it's not surprising but at the same time, the bible tells us there is only ONE way to heaven, and that's through Jesus Christ and what His death and resurrection mean and require of us. A thought provoking discussion designed to help those who might know and love someone in this process.

We live in an era dominated by subjective morality and individualized spirituality. How do we provide biblical, God-honoring responses? Stephanie sits down with Christian apologist and popular YouTuber Melissa Dougherty, who utilizes theological insights alongside her deeply personal experiences to dismantle the seductive façade of the New Thought movement. She describes this philosophy as “a stealthy message of encouragement to live your truth, seek happiness, find your identity through sexual freedom, and think your desires into existence. Often with the name of Jesus attached as an endorsement.” GIWEAWAY COMING UP! In our February newsletter, we will give away THREE copies of "Happy Lies" in partnership with Melissa and her publisher, Zondervan. We will also give 3 copies of our next January book interview (airing January 28, episode 376). So make sure to be signed up to our newsletter for a chance to win. Sign up here: https://www.gospelspice.com/signup In her groundbreaking debut, Happy Lies: How a Movement You (Probably) Never Heard Of Shaped Our Self-Obsessed World, Melissa Dougherty, an ex-New Thought follower herself, deconstructs the myths propagated by secular self-empowerment and affirmation movements. She explains how New Thought concepts like toxic affirmation and the “Law of Attraction” intersect with the prosperity gospel. She highlights how New Thought influences are subtly embedded in progressive Christianity and the gender identity crisis, and even how this movement is foundational to the weakened theology used in “Seeker-friendly” churches. Dougherty urges her audience to reflect deeply on these beliefs, encouraging them to discern contemporary culture's pervasive lies and to seek a more authentic understanding of the gospel. With clarity and a touch of compassionate snark, Melissa examines New Thought's appealing yet distorted spirituality. She warns of its pervasive impact on modern theology, emphasizing how the movement's focus on self-authority and personal experience often overshadows the biblical narrative. New Thought ideology subtly infiltrates contemporary Christian thought, presenting a false gospel that masquerades as a more open-minded, tolerant, and loving interpretation of Jesus and the Bible. Melissa recounts her epiphany during a hiatus from seminary, where her extensive readings unveiled a distinction between "New Thought" and "New Age." Despite their overlaps, these movements stand alone in intent and belief structures. Her desire to educate and spark dialogue about New Thought arose from the absence of evangelical discourse on the topic, with only a handful of scholars like Craig Hazen touching on it. Determined to spotlight this under-discussed issue, she writes a book laden with historical contexts, practical definitions, and a respectful yet critical analysis of New Thought within a Christian framework. Melissa describes New Thought as a metaphysical reinterpretation of Christianity, where the Scriptures are sometimes twisted into allegorical tales akin to self-help doctrines. Melissa coined the term "metamistagorical," combining metaphysical, mystical, and allegorical elements, to describe New Thought. She reflects on how figures like Oprah Winfrey and Joel Osteen intermingle Christian identification with mystical attributes to create a semblance of spiritual alignment. Melissa stresses that while New Thought is frequently confused with New Age philosophies, it poses a unique threat to believers: “New Thought ideas will deceive Christians before New Age ideas ever will. […] You've probably adopted some of its teachings, and you don't even realize it.” Unlike New Age's openly mystical practices, New Thought often acts as a metaphysical Christianity, making its influence sneakier and more deceptive. Dougherty concludes with a heartfelt prayer for her readers: “I hope you can't unsee [New Thought]. I hope it stirs something within you, something refusing to be ignored. Now, go tell others. Tell them the Joyful Truth so they don't fall for Happy Lies. ” In Happy Lies, highly regarded Christian apologist and ex-New Ager Melissa Dougherty . . . Tackles the frustrations surrounding the rise of pop spirituality and “self-actualization,” even within Christianity Exposes the deceptions of New Thought—a movement centered on positive thinking, mental healing, self-worship, and spiritual empowerment Counters subjective, “me”-focused platitudes with objective truths that dispel spiritual confusion and bring peace to anxious minds Provides practical methods to uproot the subtle, mystical, and insidious spiritual beliefs that dilute the core message of Christianity Clarifies how to recognize the misleading spiritual practices infiltrating modern Christianity and reject them to embrace the beauty of an authentic Christian life MORE ABOUT “HAPPY LIES” In this groundbreaking book, popular apologist Melissa Dougherty helps us understand how our society got to be so toxically subjective, why endless positivity is inherently destructive, and how we can live with faithful truth and genuine love in these self-obsessed times. Have you ever wondered how we ended up in a world where personal feelings could become the authority for reality? Or why so many of us are on a relentless pursuit for happiness yet somehow feel more exhausted and sadder than ever? You're not alone. Melissa deftly traces the roots of today's social chaos back to a little-known (but very influential) 1800s philosophy known as New Thought. A former follower of its teachings, Melissa provides clarity and compassion mixed with a dash of loving snark as she exposes New Thought's deceptions and its many concerning tendrils within the church and our "self-help" culture. You'll be shocked, grieved, and encouraged as you learn: How you can experience true freedom, hope, and peace instead of the world's counterfeits How an anti-God ideology so easily hijacked Christian-sounding ideas Why thinking positively is entirely different from the unbiblical and burdensome "positive thought" movement Why fake "authenticity" short-circuits real redemption How understanding the New Thought mindset can help us share our faith more effectively Uncover a dangerous ideology that nearly everyone has met, yet few of us can name, in order to better understand our culture and joyfully live faithful to the gospel that is so much better than our world's Happy Lies. MEET MELISSA DOUGHERTY Melissa Dougherty is a Christian apologist best known for her YouTube channel with over 285,000 subscribers and counting.

Alisa Childers and Tim Barnett, authors of “Deconstruction-Christianity” The Deconstruction of Christianity: What It Is, Why It's Destructive, and How to Respond The post The Deconstruction of Christianity Movement – Alisa Childers & Tim Barnett, 11/8/24 (3133) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

A movement called ‘deconstruction' is sweeping through our churches, and it's affecting our loved ones. It has disrupted, dismantled and destroyed the faith of so many. Former member of the early 2000s Christian ‘girl band' ZOEgirl, Alisa Childers had her own faith deconstructed through the influence of a minister she trusted who was teaching her to believe that which is not orthodox Christian truth.  Co-authored with Tim Barnett, The Deconstruction of Christianity: What It Is, Why It's Destructive and How to Respond was written to tell Alisa's story and help you not only understand what's happening, but also to stand your ground and respond with clarity and confidence.

Alisa has a conversation with Sara Olson, Jill Grant and Paul about the difficulties of training up our children in today's culture and how to point them to Jesus.

Deconstruction seems to be the trend these days, but how can faithful Christians respond to those deonstructing from the faith? Tim Barnett, co-author of The Deconstruction of Christianity with Alisa Childers, discusses what it is and what it isn't. It's likely you know someone who is deconstructing, or you've seen the trendy videos on social media on how to begin your own journey of deconstrution. What do you do? How do you respond if you're the toxic Christian oppressing your friend or family member with your beliefs? This episode will help you understand the person behind the deconstruction and equip you to respond with love and truth.

We are taking a small break this July to gear up for season five of the Strong Women podcast. But during this break, we decided to re-air some episodes that we thought you would enjoy. Our guests today are Linda Noble and Linda Stewart, affectionately called “The Lindas.” I love how these two ladies in different seasons of life looked at the world around them and asked, “What is missing that we can add?” They tell us how they joined together to learn and then create something that offers a window into God's design for sex, which fits into the larger story that He wants to be known by us, and He uses His creation—including our own bodies—to pursue a relationship with us. I am excited for you to learn about how God has designed our bodies and our sexuality to invite us into a deeper relationship with Him. We must learn these big truths about God's design in order to invite the young people in our lives to grasp the significance of the gift of sex within marriage. Without the big picture, this seems like just a rule to follow instead of an invitation to flourish.   Registration is now open for the Great Lakes Symposium on Christian Worldview, on Thursday, July 25 at 7pm Eastern. John Stonestreet will be joined by author and apologist Alisa Childers, and Ryan Bomberger of the Radiance Foundation. Our topic is “Truth and Its Counterfeits: Discerning the Lies that Take People Captive.”  Have you ever felt pressure to affirm unbiblical ideas in the name of “love” or “social justice?” Truly loving our neighbors means refusing to compromise God's Word. To help us do that, Alisa Childers and Ryan Bomberger will join me for an important discussion on how Christians can pursue truth and love, even when it's challenging. This event is free, and you can attend in-person in Bay Harbor, Michigan, or online via livestream. Register today at greatlakessymposium.org.  You can leave a voicemail for us at 719-838-6700. Tell us what you love about the podcast and how it's encouraged you and impacted you in your daily life.

Today we are  making sense of progressive Christianity through a parable Jesus taught plus learn something you can do to  hold the line of truth in your homes.Enjoying SPF? Consider supporting at $5 a month: patreon.com/sheprovesfaithfulWant More SPF? Sign up for the SPF Newsletter! sheprovesfaithful.com/newsletter Progress? Progressive Christianity is a popular movement that seeks to  progress Christianity forward rather than reforming Christianity back to Scripture. The most dangerous thing about progressive Christianity is that there is no gospel. St. Augustine said, "you out to say plainly that you do not believe the gospel of christ. For to believe what you please, and not to believe what you please, is to believe yourselves and not the Gospel. Ultimately that is what the issue is. It is a belief in self and the ability for humanity to transform themselves and their community by their own power and ideals of love and justice.So how do we make sense of progressive Christianity? Matthew 21 The Parable of the Tenants The issue with progressive Christianity and every other belief system is that it is at war with the authority of God. It is at war with His ways. For the chief priests and elders there was a pride in them and a love for their own authority that prohibited them from admitting that Jesus was from God and that Jesus was God. Hold the Line in Your HomeStudy the Christian creeds and confessions.Creeds and confessions are actually wonderful tools to use and understand the Scriptures to help build up our faith with the truth that is found in the Word of God. "Throughout church history it has been necessary for the church to adopt and embrace creedal statements to clarify the Christian faith and to distinguish true content from error and false representations of the faith. Such creeds are distinguished from Scripture in that Scripture is norma normans (“the rule that rules”), while the creeds are norma normata (“a rule that is ruled”)."

Many assume prison is the last place to encounter God. But He is powerfully at work there through His people, both inside and out, fulfilling the promise to “proclaim liberty to the captives” and “set at liberty those who are oppressed” (Luke 4:18). Heather Rice-Minus, CEO of Prison Fellowship, has witnessed this firsthand in her work for prison reform and restorative justice. She joins Sarah to share the remarkable ways God is working today to redeem and restore people in the prison system.          Prison Fellowship https://www.prisonfellowship.org/  My Final Word: Holding Tight to the Issues that Matter Most by Charles Colson   Registration is now open for the Great Lakes Symposium on Christian Worldview, on Thursday, July 25 at 7pm Eastern.
