In this episode of the Alisa Childers Podcast, Alisa tackles the swirling controversy surrounding Candace Owens’ claims about the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the alleged cover-up by TPUSA and others. Rather than chasing every rumor, Alisa walks through how Christians can biblically and rationally discern claims like these—especially when they implicate real people, by name, with no publicly available evidence.Drawing from Scripture (2 Corinthians 10, Ephesians 6, 2 Timothy 3, 2 Thessalonians 2), she explores why truth is not relative, why discernment is central to spiritual warfare, and how conspiracy thinking can slide into slander, character assassination, and even cult-like dynamics. Alisa also examines some of Candace’s rhetoric and tactics—insinuation, speculation, appeals to secret knowledge, and ad hominem attacks—and contrasts this with a truly Christian approach to seeking truth, guarding our hearts, and being transformed into the image of Christ.This episode is especially aimed at Christian women who find themselves glued to every new “bombshell” update. Alisa offers a sober call to repentance from gossip and titillation, and an invitation back to Scripture, prayer, family, and a life ordered around Jesus, who is the Truth.Link to Israel trip: https://www.eo.travelwithus.com/tours/hl26060126n58473#eotoursLink to full episode of J.

Gender isn’t something we “become,” it’s a good gift from God. In this episode, Alisa talks with Dr. Jeff Meyer (Summit Ministries) and Dr. Kathy Cook (Celebrate Kids) about helping kids understand male and female as part of God’s design, without reducing them to stereotypes. We tackle what today’s teens are really asking (“Is God good?”), how social media fuels confusion, practical ways parents and grandparents can talk with kids at every age, and why saying “no” to social transition can be a life-giving act of love. Jeff and Kathy share conversation starters, red-flag behaviors to watch for, and a hopeful vision of how men and women harmonize for the good of the family and the world.In this episode:Gender as design vs. stereotypeSocial media, rapid-onset confusion, and wise boundariesAge-appropriate scripts for tough questionsWhen boys want dresses & girls want buzz cuts—how to respondGenesis 1–2, identity, and human flourishingBuilding homes where God’s voice is the loudestResources & links:Get the book Raising Gender-Confident Kids free: genderconfidentkids.comUpdates: Alisa shares sabbatical plans, Unshaken Faith Christmas livestream, studio move, and a preview of upcoming episodes on critical thinking and cultural discernment.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:RANGE LEATHERAmerican-Made Craftsmanship from WyomingGo to www.rangeleather.com for more informationUse my code: ALISASUMMITGive your kids a stronger foundation to embrace a biblical worldview.Go to www.summit.org for more informationUse my code: ALISA26BRAVE BOOKSEntertainment that Engages the Imagination for Good. Go to www.bravebooks.com/childers for more informationUse my code: CHILDERS--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/musicThere you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/alisachildersTo order “Another Gospel”: www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/To order “Live Your Truth": www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/To order “The Deconstruction of Christianity”: https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.comTo see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachildersPotential Sponsors: https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.

What does Scripture really say about being male and female, and how did the “Nashville Statement” become a line in the sand? Today I’m joined by Dr. Denny Burk (Boyce College/SBTS; President of CBMW; author of What Is the Meaning of Sex?) for a clear and candid conversation on complementarianism, feminism, the church’s drift on sex and gender, and why Scripture is our standard. We trace how reactions to the Nashville Statement helped catalyze Side B/Revoice, talk through what the Bible means by manhood and womanhood (and why that’s good news), and offer hope to parents with deconstructed kids.In this episodeComplementarianism vs. egalitarianism...why it matters for the home and the churchThe Nashville Statement: what it is, why it exploded, and what came next“Side B,” identity labels, and building your identity on Christ rather than fallen desiresHow progressive readings reinterpret Scripture—and how to respondThe beauty of sexual difference and the goodness of God’s designReal encouragement and testimonies for parents of prodigals/deconstructed kidsResources & links:The Nashville Statement (CBMW) – cbmw.orgDenny’s writing – dennyburk.comDallas area friends: our final Unshaken Conference is Nov 8 at Stonebriar Church—register at unshakenconference.com or get tickets at the door.

Today I’m joined by philosopher and veteran apologist Dr. Douglas Groothuis to tackle the biggest misconceptions about Christian apologetics—what it is (and isn’t), why it matters for evangelism and discipleship, and how to respond when critics dismiss apologetics as mere talking points. We unpack methods (classical/evidential vs. presuppositional), the role of evidence and story, why humility and love are non-negotiable, and how everyday Christians can give reasons for the hope within them with both gentleness and respect.Along the way, I share updates: a new Unshaken Faith episode where Natasha and I review Jen Hatmaker’s Awake, the release of my Another Gospel?—Student Edition (with new discussion questions and side notes), and details on our final Unshaken Conference of the year in the Dallas area on November 8.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:BRAVE BOOKSEntertainment that Engages the Imagination for Good.  Go to www.bravebooks.com/childers (http://www.bravebooks.com/childers) for more informationUse my code: CHILDERSSEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Go to www.sevenweekscoffee.com (http://www.sevenweekscoffee.com/) for more information.Use my code: ALISA--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/music (http://www.alisachilders.com/music)There you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon:  www.patreon.com/alisachilders (http://www.patreon.com/alisachilders)To order “Another Gospel”:  www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/ (http://www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/)To order “Live Your Truth":  www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/ (http://www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/)To order “The Deconstruction of Christianity”: https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/ (https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/)For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.com (https://alisachilders.creator-spring.com/)To see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachilders (https://kit.co/alisachilders)Potential Sponsors: https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/ (https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/)Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.

In today's conversation, Alisa Childers is joined by Anna Kitko—a researcher and clinical expert on spiritual abuse—to unpack the historical, biblical, and psychological roots of deliverance ministry. Together they explore how many of today’s practices trace back not to Scripture, but to ancient pagan rituals, and how that can lead to deep spiritual and emotional harm for sincere Christians seeking help.Drawing from her research into ancient Akkadian medicine, Second Temple Judaism, and modern charismatic movements, Anna explains that Jesus’ exorcisms were unique precisely because only Yahweh Himself could command evil spirits. Alisa and Anna also discuss:The four ancient categories of “demons” and what they reveal about how we understand possessionWhy much of deliverance ministry functions like spiritualized mental-health care—without accountability or clinical ethicsThe concept of iatrogenic harm (when “healing” practices actually wound people)How Bethlehem’s “SOZO” prayer model parallels ancient pagan rituals and can lead to spiritual abuseWhat true, biblical deliverance and spiritual warfare look like—prayer, truth, and faithfulness under Christ’s authority aloneThis episode is a sober but deeply encouraging reminder: Christians are delivered when they trust in Christ and are delivered from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of God. ------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:RANGE LEATHERAmerican-Made Craftsmanship from WyomingGo to www.rangeleather.com for more informationUse my code: ALISAA'DEL NATURAL COSMETICSElevate your skincare routine with A'del's toxin-free cosmetics. Experience the difference in quality and purity. Go to www.adelnaturalcosmetics.com for more information. Use my code: ALISA FOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to thinkBiblically in a deceptive world. Go to www.foundationworldview.com for more information! Use my code: ALISA--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/musicThere you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/alisachildersTo order “Another Gospel”: www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/To order “Live Your Truth": www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/To order “The Deconstruction of Christianity”: https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.comTo see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachildersPotential Sponsors: https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.

When journalist and author Megan Basham released her book Shepherds for Sale, the evidence she uncovered should have sparked healthy reform and accountability within evangelical institutions. Instead, she watched the entire “Big Evangelical” infrastructure mobilize—using back-room tactics, social pressure, and selective outrage—to discredit her and convince pastors not to read her work.In this deeply revealing conversation, Alisa Childers and Megan expose the six manipulative tactics that often appear when someone dares to speak truth that challenges powerful networks within the church:    1.    Prediscreditation – discrediting before you speak.    2.    Moralizing dismissal ("Not our thing, Dear!")    3.    Shunning and platform pressure.    4.    Seizing on minor errors to discredit the whole.    5.    Emotional outrage and tone policing.    6.    Misusing Matthew 18 to silence public critique.Megan also shares a personal update on her battle with stage 3 colon cancer, how God sustained her through the storm, and why she continues to stand firm for truth despite enormous backlash.Whether you’ve faced rejection for speaking biblical truth in your own church or just want to understand how the “discreditation machine” operates, this episode will equip you to stand firm with courage and biblical clarity. ------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:BRAVE BOOKSEntertainment that Engages the Imagination for Good.  Go to www.bravebooks.com/childers (http://www.bravebooks.com/childers) for more informationUse my code: CHILDERSGOOD RANCHERSAmerican Meat DeliveredGo to www.goodranchers.com/alisa (http://www.goodranchers.com/alisa) for more information.Back to the Table: https://pitch.com/v/back-to-the-table-for-partners-t346uj  (https://pitch.com/v/back-to-the-table-for-partners-t346uj)Use my code: ALISASEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Go to www.sevenweekscoffee.com (http://www.sevenweekscoffee.com/) for more information.Use my code: ALISA--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/music (http://www.alisachilders.com/music)There you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon:  www.patreon.com/alisachilders (http://www.patreon.com/alisachilders)To order “Another Gospel”:  www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/ (http://www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/)To order “Live Your Truth":  www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/ (http://www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/)To order “The Deconstruction of Christianity”: https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/ (https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/)For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.com (https://alisachilders.creator-spring.com/)To see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.

Is deeper political engagement faithfulness—or a fast track to compromise? In this candid conversation, Alisa and Jesse Westwood (Faith Reframed) wrestle with Christian political involvement in the wake of recent events, the rise of Christian nationalism, and the stealthy influence of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR).From Jesse’s Anabaptist “two-kingdom” convictions to Alisa’s case for principled engagement, you’ll hear vigorous disagreement—and real agreement—on essentials: the sufficiency of Scripture, the danger of dominionism (NAR’s “Seven Mountain Mandate”), and why bad theology hurts people. They also distinguish classic postmillennialism from dominionist projects, talk early-church witness, co-belligerence, and why placing political victory over biblical doctrine is a dead end.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:FOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to thinkBiblically in a deceptive world.  Go to www.foundationworldview.com for more information! Use my code: ALISAGOOD RANCHERSAmerican Meat DeliveredGo to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.Back to the Table: https://pitch.com/v/back-to-the-table-for-partners-t346uj Use my code: ALISA--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/musicThere you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/alisachildersTo order “Another Gospel”: www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/To order “Live Your Truth": www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/To order “The Deconstruction of Christianity”: https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.comTo see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachildersPotential Sponsors: https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.

After the attempted assassination of Charlie Kirk, a lot of masks slipped. In this no-fluff conversation, Alisa sits down with John Cooper (Skillet) to unpack why so many Christian leaders waffle, what “third-wayism” really is, and how subtle, academic-sounding concepts like standpoint epistemology are eroding biblical authority and Western civilization itself.They trace the ideas, test them against Scripture, and tackle hard questions: Is “neutrality” real? Why does third-wayism always drift left on abortion and justice? How should pastors lead without playing “footsy-cakes” with the culture? Plus: a practical framework for discernment (fear of God over fear of man), why many “normies” are done outsourcing their thinking to evangelical elites, and a hopeful look at what God is doing in this cultural moment. ------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Go to www.sevenweekscoffee.com for more information.Use my code: ALISAFOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to thinkBiblically in a deceptive world. Go to www.foundationworldview.com for more information! Use my code: ALISA--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/musicThere you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/alisachildersTo order “Another Gospel”: www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/To order “Live Your Truth": www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/To order “The Deconstruction of Christianity”: https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.comTo see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachildersPotential Sponsors: https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.

Are Christian colleges quietly leading the church into deconstruction? In this hard-hitting episode, Alisa sits down with Dr. Everett Piper, former president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University and host of The Rebellion, to unpack how small compromises in the academy become cultural contagions in the church. Piper traces the pipeline from CCCU “deconstruct your faith” freshman rhetoric to campus policies that smuggle in progressive ideology on sexuality, identity, and “tolerance.”Alisa also answers a question she’s been getting a lot: Why she can no longer recommend Biola University to Christian parents. She walks through language in Biola’s public statements on sex and gender, concerns about chapel speakers and student life, and why “mission drift” accelerates unless leaders act decisively.Alisa's Facebook post: https://www.facebook.com/alisachilders/posts/pfbid02BffVppz8p5eXRtanzh14eapDQwHrSpzyjcM2fzdhWDs6V4jT5d6qHLmKArksZsE1l (https://www.facebook.com/alisachilders/posts/pfbid02BffVppz8p5eXRtanzh14eapDQwHrSpzyjcM2fzdhWDs6V4jT5d6qHLmKArksZsE1l)Biola's statement: https://t.co/l622vbxWLi (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2Fl622vbxWLi%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExTzljTDNxbW4zdnJUbXRBTwEe6xW4WrHZXyKb9fOpNyXsC6b6tA8CuDYNvPT2usOvyNYQkgDHNOGJ0C12Ixk_aem_bLcPr4j68d1xxmQLD85JrA&h=AT33eKo5kzsZR9m5CI2kf-pxrg20Lev_91m0cJoDly7kLS_2V3LvGEOa4yKDu7Vq8mjp_CtLNV4bcND_Skde3dfbHZNJPL73jksm4o1ldOtTCr-L1o7rG_1SnTEWYqqaXVRQ8X2Ox7hpuUAy67E&__tn__=R%5D-R&c%5B0%5D=AT3u8lDKTrkQs855v2M78vNkEE7JC3hzFtC7om7p3disW-h0RCsCeJG6QhbWJHKcdeoizmdr14Vbd-zg3SclST1_vFLL8AkuNpBwYRDqSbQcoG-jWNHtYqi1b-Ql2wwYg8wNzDBXk_wlKb5yYz-n-Pp4GlVfjBlwwdqhimoanLlQWKoDkudr9Z9EJg)Rich Villodas statement: A Pastoral Word to New Life Fellowship Church re: Charlie Kirk - By Rich Villodas (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack.com%2Finbox%2Fpost%2F173608474%3Futm_campaign%3Dposts-open-in-app%26triedRedirect%3Dtrue%26fbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExTzljTDNxbW4zdnJUbXRBTwEefG92mYszNhKLqd9D6NPn0vsQGCOxdq0A2Fg9F7Rcj9asNXVS1j4cMqSlaV0_aem_SjpAqzj8a9DTHkGYPVKtaQ&h=AT0v7sP7-iH9AqlxmTboC_l_BaJfBI-iNdsLLgIz0jj_MyPZfi950Yt0lyRtLSBRKkMmSRHGLbvC4pJ7TRXuWL15zgJIty8CvBeGkXx8kVrNntQTTIRwtUFAxLn59AuMxrApXZqNa_ve0opHmeM&__tn__=R%5D-R&c%5B0%5D=AT3u8lDKTrkQs855v2M78vNkEE7JC3hzFtC7om7p3disW-h0RCsCeJG6QhbWJHKcdeoizmdr14Vbd-zg3SclST1_vFLL8AkuNpBwYRDqSbQcoG-jWNHtYqi1b-Ql2wwYg8wNzDBXk_wlKb5yYz-n-Pp4GlVfjBlwwdqhimoanLlQWKoDkudr9Z9EJg)------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:RANGE LEATHERAmerican-Made Craftsmanship from WyomingGo to www.rangeleather.com (http://www.rangeleather.com/) for more informationUse my code: ALISASEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Go to www.sevenweekscoffee.com (http://www.sevenweekscoffee.com/) for more information.Use my code: ALISAA'DEL NATURAL COSMETICSElevate your skincare routine with A'del's toxin-free cosmetics. Experience the difference in quality and purity. Go to www.adelnaturalcosmetics.com (http://www.adelnaturalcosmetics.com/) for more information. Use my code: ALISA --------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/music (http://www.alisachilders.com/music)There you can get the CD,

In this episode, Alisa Childers welcomes Frank Turek for a wide-ranging conversation about Christian political engagement, 3rd wayism, and the difference between faithful involvement and a political gospel.We reflect on the dangers of Christians retreating into neutrality under the guise of “3rd wayism,” and address the misconception that political engagement is the same as preaching a political or social gospel. Frank also shares about his brand-new children’s book on responsibility, offering insights into raising the next generation with wisdom and discernment.Finally, Frank opens up about how he’s doing in the wake of Charlie’s murder, giving listeners a glimpse into both his heart and his hope during this difficult season.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:GOOD RANCHERSAmerican Meat DeliveredGo to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.Back to the Table: https://pitch.com/v/back-to-the-table-for-partners-t346uj Use my code: ALISASEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Go to www.sevenweekscoffee.com for more information.Use my code: ALISABRAVE BOOKSEntertainment that Engages the Imagination for Good. Go to www.bravebooks.com/childers for more informationUse my code: CHILDERS--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/musicThere you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/alisachildersTo order “Another Gospel”: www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/To order “Live Your Truth": www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/To order “The Deconstruction of Christianity”: https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.comTo see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachildersPotential Sponsors: https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.

In this episode, Alisa Childers sits down with Jon Root to examine two opposite but equally dangerous influences in the church today: the “3rd way” approach that seeks to keep Christians silent on politics, and the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) with its unbiblical approach to political domination.Together, we explore why Christians must remain both doctrinally grounded and civically engaged—without allowing politics to overshadow the gospel. The conversation highlights how deceptions today are becoming increasingly sophisticated, requiring deep biblical discernment.We also interact with a popular podcast that rightly exposed the dangers of 3rd wayism, but whose speaker unfortunately aligns with figures like Paula White and Benny Hinn. This tension underscores why discernment must go deeper than personalities and rhetoric—it must be anchored in Scripture.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:A'DEL NATURAL COSMETICSElevate your skincare routine with A'del's toxin-free cosmetics. Experience the difference in quality and purity. Go to www.adelnaturalcosmetics.com for more information. Use my code: ALISA GOOD RANCHERSAmerican Meat DeliveredGo to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.Back to the Table: https://pitch.com/v/back-to-the-table-for-partners-t346uj Use my code: ALISAFOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to thinkBiblically in a deceptive world. Go to www.foundationworldview.com for more information! Use my code: ALISA--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/musicThere you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/alisachildersTo order “Another Gospel”: www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/To order “Live Your Truth": www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/To order “The Deconstruction of Christianity”: https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.comTo see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachildersPotential Sponsors: https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.

Many Christian students face pressure to join fraternities and sororities on campus, but is Greek life compatible with the Christian worldview? In this episode,  @TytusJones  joins me to dig into the roots and rituals of Greek organizations, explore their historical ties to Freemasonry, and ask tough questions about whether these practices align with Scripture.You’ll also hear practical advice for parents and students navigating these decisions—how to evaluate the spiritual implications, what red flags to watch for, and how to choose wisely in a culture that often normalizes compromise.If you or someone you love is considering Greek life, this conversation will equip you with biblical clarity, historical insight, and practical wisdom.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:FOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to thinkBiblically in a deceptive world. Go to www.foundationworldview.com (http://www.foundationworldview.com/) for more information! Use my code: ALISABRAVE BOOKSEntertainment that Engages the Imagination for Good.  Go to www.bravebooks.com/childers (http://www.bravebooks.com/childers) for more informationUse my code: CHILDERSSEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Go to www.sevenweekscoffee.com (http://www.sevenweekscoffee.com/) for more information.Use my code: ALISA--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/music (http://www.alisachilders.com/music)There you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon:  www.patreon.com/alisachilders (http://www.patreon.com/alisachilders)To order “Another Gospel”:  www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/ (http://www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/)To order “Live Your Truth":  www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/ (http://www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/)To order “The Deconstruction of Christianity”: https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/ (https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/)For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.com (https://alisachilders.creator-spring.com/)To see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachilders (https://kit.co/alisachilders)Potential Sponsors: https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/ (https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/)Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.

In this episode, I share my personal reflections from attending the Charlie Kirk Memorial in person.

What if some of the ways we’ve been reading the Bible are actually twisting its meaning—without us even realizing it? In this episode, we dig into the art and science of hermeneutics—the practice of interpreting Scripture.We’ll wrestle with big questions:Is language truly objective?Why is hermeneutics called both an art and a science?How do we handle the Bible’s many genres—from proverbs to parables, gospels to Revelation?And how do we know which promises of Scripture are really for us today?If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re reading the Bible the right way, this conversation will challenge, equip, and encourage you to handle God’s Word with wisdom and clarity.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:GOOD RANCHERSAmerican Meat DeliveredGo to www.goodranchers.com/alisa (http://www.goodranchers.com/alisa) for more information.Use my code: ALISAA'DEL NATURAL COSMETICSElevate your skincare routine with A'del's toxin-free cosmetics. Experience the difference in quality and purity. Go to www.adelnaturalcosmetics.com (http://www.adelnaturalcosmetics.com/) for more information. Use my code: ALISA SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Go to www.sevenweekscoffee.com (http://www.sevenweekscoffee.com/) for more information.Use my code: ALISA--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/music (http://www.alisachilders.com/music)There you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon:  www.patreon.com/alisachilders (http://www.patreon.com/alisachilders)To order “Another Gospel”:  www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/ (http://www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/)To order “Live Your Truth":  www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/ (http://www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/)To order “The Deconstruction of Christianity”: https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/ (https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/)For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.com (https://alisachilders.creator-spring.com/)To see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachilders (https://kit.co/alisachilders)Potential Sponsors: https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/ (https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/)Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.

In this episode, I share my personal reflections on the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk. I open up about what God showed me about my own heart, and how we as Christians can cling to the eternal perspective we’re given in Christ. I also talk about the disturbing response from many on the left, and what that reveals about the type of battle we're in. I also address and debunk one of the conspiracy theories circulating online — the claim that the man in the white hat and shirt was somehow in on the crime.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:BRAVE BOOKSEntertainment that Engages the Imagination for Good. Go to www.bravebooks.com/childers for more informationUse my code: CHILDERSFOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to thinkBiblically in a deceptive world. Go to www.foundationworldview.com for more information! Use my code: ALISA--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/musicThere you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/alisachildersTo order “Another Gospel”: www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/To order “Live Your Truth": www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/To order “The Deconstruction of Christianity”: https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.comTo see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachildersPotential Sponsors: https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.

In this episode, I am joined by American Gospel director Brandon Kimber to analyze troubling comments made by Jenn Johnson of Bethel Church.Jenn Johnson has described the Holy Spirit as the “blue genie from Aladdin”—and this wasn’t just a one-time slip. We demonstrate how she has repeated this imagery more than once, while also promoting concerning views on the Bible and truth itself. Claiming that Scripture has contradictions, she has taught that truth is relative, like “shades of grey.” Even more troubling, her methodology for knowing God is subjective—teaching that Christians must each ask God who He is to them personally, as if His nature shifts from person to person rather than being revealed once for all in His Word.We also analyze the audio of Michael Brown asking Bill Johnson directly about these “blue genie” comments. What we find is not repentance, but damage control. And even today, the original videos of Jenn Johnson making these statements remain live on Bethel TV.We unpack why this matters, how these ideas directly conflict with the historic Christian gospel, and why believers must remain anchored in the unchanging Truth of God’s Word.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:BRAVE BOOKSEntertainment that Engages the Imagination for Good.

In this episode, Alisa sits down with Dr. Brian Huffling to tackle one of the most common objections in today’s cultural conversations: “That’s just your interpretation.” Together, they explore why history and the meaning of words are not endlessly malleable, but knowable realities. If someone insists that truth claims are only “interpretations,” they expect you to understand their own words as meaningful — and that contradiction matters.Dr. Huffling brings his expertise in philosophy, theology, and apologetics to show why objective meaning is essential for making sense of history, Scripture, and even everyday communication. This discussion will equip you to push back against relativism, understand how language works, and stand confidently in the truth.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:RANGE LEATHERAmerican-Made Craftsmanship from WyomingGo to www.rangeleather.com (http://www.rangeleather.com/) for more informationUse my code: ALISABRAVE BOOKSEntertainment that Engages the Imagination for Good.  Go to www.bravebooks.com/childers (http://www.bravebooks.com/childers) for more informationUse my code: CHILDERSIMPACT 360Leading Gen Z Conference hosted by Impact 360 InstituteSeptember 11, 2025 in Newnan, GA.Go to www.whoisgenz.com (http://www.whoisgenz.com/) for more information.And if you're not able to attend in person, a digital version of the conference will be available for purchase after the event at Impact360.org (http://impact360.org/)Use the code IMPACT360 for $15 off--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/music (http://www.alisachilders.com/music)There you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon:  www.patreon.com/alisachilders (http://www.patreon.com/alisachilders)To order “Another Gospel”:  www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/ (http://www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/)To order “Live Your Truth":  www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/ (http://www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/)To order “The Deconstruction of Christianity”: https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/ (https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/)For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.com (https://alisachilders.creator-spring.com/)To see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachilders (https://kit.co/alisachilders)Potential Sponsors: https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/ (https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/)Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.

How can Christian institutions stay faithful in a shifting cultural landscape? In this episode, Judge Phil Ginn—President of Southern Evangelical Seminary—joins me to talk about the danger of mission drift and how SES works to stay anchored to its biblical foundation. We discuss the importance of clear theological commitments, why SES drafted a position paper on social justice in the wake of the George Floyd riots, and how intentional steps like these can help churches, ministries, and schools remain on track with their God-given mission.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Go to www.sevenweekscoffee.com for more information.Use my code: ALISAFOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to thinkBiblically in a deceptive world. Go to www.foundationworldview.com for more information! Use my code: ALISAIMPACT 360Leading Gen Z Conference hosted by Impact 360 InstituteSeptember 11, 2025 in Newnan, GA.Go to www.whoisgenz.com for more information.And if you're not able to attend in person, a digital version of the conference will be available for purchase after the event at Impact360.orgUse the code IMPACT360 for $15 off--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/musicThere you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/alisachildersTo order “Another Gospel”: www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/To order “Live Your Truth": www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/To order “The Deconstruction of Christianity”: https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.comTo see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachildersPotential Sponsors: https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.

Brady grew up wrestling with same-sex attraction and questions about his sexuality. By the time he finished high school, he had accepted that he was gay. But in college, God began stirring in his heart. After his sophomore year, Brady realized that the LGBTQ life was not giving him the love and fulfillment it promised. Instead, he discovered that God’s love is deeper, stronger, and unlike anything the world could ever offer.In this episode, Brady shares his powerful testimony of repentance, new identity in Christ, and daily reliance on the Holy Spirit to walk in holiness. He also raises concerns about two popular approaches to same-sex attraction—Side B theologyand deliverance ministry—and explains why both fall short of the biblical vision. Instead, Brady points us toward a more faithful and hope-filled path: biblical discipleship.Whether you’re personally wrestling with questions of identity or walking alongside someone who is, Brady’s story is both challenging and encouraging.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:BRAVE BOOKSEntertainment that Engages the Imagination for Good. Go to www.bravebooks.com/childers for more informationUse my code: CHILDERSGOOD RANCHERSAmerican Meat DeliveredGo to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.Use my code: ALISAA'DEL NATURAL COSMETICSElevate your skincare routine with A'del's toxin-free cosmetics. Experience the difference in quality and purity. Go to www.adelnaturalcosmetics.com for more information. Use my code: ALISA --------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/musicThere you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/alisachildersTo order “Another Gospel”: www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/To order “Live Your Truth": www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/To order “The Deconstruction of Christianity”: https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.comTo see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachildersPotential Sponsors: https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.

In this episode, I share a very personal tribute to my dad, Chuck Girard. From his teenage years as a session singer in Los Angeles, to his encounter with Jesus during the Jesus Revolution, to a lifetime of ministering through music, his story is not only a testament to how one man can impact the world, but also how the faith of a father can shape the lives of his children.But beyond the music and ministry, I also share some of the little things that made him him—the quirks, the humor, and the unique personality that only those close to him got to see. I also open up about his last days at home in hospice, and some of his final words. This episode is both a celebration of my dad’s fascinating life and a glimpse into the man behind the music, whose trust in Jesus shaped everything he did until his very last breath.Go Fund me: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-chuck-girards-fight-against-cancerLove Song documentary: https://abandcalledlovesong.comCCM Tribute: https://www.ccmmagazine.com/news/chuck-girard-pioneer-of-contemporary-christian-music-enters-heaven-at-81-amy-grant-bryan-duncan-john-schlitt-and-more-share-tributes/Variety Magazine: https://variety.com/2025/music/obituaries-people-news/chuck-girard-dead-christian-rock-pioneer-love-song-hondells-1236488323/Celebration of Life Services: Tuesday, August 26 at 2:00 PM at The Gate Church in Franklin, TN.
