    #242 A Former Skeptic Responds to Today's Toughest Objections to Christianity, with Bobby Conway

    Dr. Bobby Conway joins the podcast to talk about his deep struggle with doubt that led him to write a new intellectual memoir, Does Christianity Still Make Sense? In today’s episode, Bobby shares his story of coming to faith as a young adult, only to face unexpected intellectual doubts about the claims of Christianity. He talks about how he thought through issues like church hypocrisy, the moral failures of church leaders, and the increasing popularity of people claiming to be spiritual, but not affiliating with organized religion. He also covers the difference between doubting and questioning. ------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:FOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to think biblically in a deceptive world. Go to foundationworldview.com (http://foundationworldview.com/) and use the discount code ALISA to receive 10% off a family license.GOOD RANCHERSGood Ranchers: American Meat Delivered Use the code, ALISA to get 10% off your subscription and a price lock guarantee until 2026!Go to www.goodranchers.com/alisa (http://www.goodranchers.com/alisa) for more information.SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Use the code, ALISA, to get 10% off any product.www.sevenweekscoffee.com (http://www.sevenweekscoffee.com/)--------------------------------------------------------------------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.

    #240 The Countercultural Rebellion of Reciting Creeds in an Age of Expressive Individualism, with Dr. Carl Trueman

    Dr. Carl Trueman joins the podcast to talk about how the notion of human identity has changed over the course of modern history from an external source (your family, name, vocation) to an internal source (your feelings and sexual preferences). He also comments on the important role ancient Christian creeds play in fighting against the “expressive individualism” of our modern culture.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:GOOD RANCHERSGood Ranchers: American Meat Delivered Use the code, ALISA, to get your FREE Chicken Wings for a YEAR!Go to www.goodranchers.com/alisa (http://www.goodranchers.com/alisa) for more information.FOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to think biblically in a deceptive world. Go to foundationworldview.com (http://foundationworldview.com/) and use the discount code ALISA to receive 10% off a family license.SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Use the code, ALISA, to get 10% off any product.www.sevenweekscoffee.com (http://www.sevenweekscoffee.com/)--------------------------------------------------------------------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.

    #239 Is Same-Sex Attraction a Sin? The dangers of Side B Theology with Christopher Yuan

    #239 Is Same-Sex Attraction a Sin? The dangers of Side B Theology with Christopher Yuan

    Dr. Christopher Yuan joins the podcast to discuss whether or not same-sex attraction is a sinless temptation or a sinful desire. This is the heart of conversations surrounding Side B theology, which teaches that same-sex sin is wrong, but the identity of “gay” is not. Christopher and Alisa also share some concerns surrounding the upcoming Exiles in Babylon Conference, which claims to equip Christians from a biblical perspective, yet features many speakers who promote Side B theology.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:SUMMIT MINISTRIESGive your teens an unshakeable faith that will last a lifetime.Use the code, ALISA24 for a 200.00 discount.www.summit.org/alisaFOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to think biblically in a deceptive world. Go to foundationworldview.com and use the discount code ALISA to receive 10% off a family license.SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Use the code, ALISA, to get 10% off any product.www.sevenweekscoffee.comGOOD RANCHERSGood Ranchers: American Meat Delivered Use the code, ALISA, to get your FREE Chicken Wings for a YEAR!Go to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.--------------------------------------------------------------------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/

    #237 Is a Hyper-focus on Trauma Actually Hurting Us?  with Maria Baer

    #237 Is a Hyper-focus on Trauma Actually Hurting Us?  with Maria Baer

    A new study demonstrates that contrary to popular opinion, endless personal trauma-mining is actually destructive to our mental health. In our therapeutic age, everything is pathologized, from shoplifting to drug use to having a bad day. Maria Baer joins the podcast to talk about an article she wrote for World, titled “Make Resilience Cool Again.” Maria shares about our culture’s obsession with trauma care, and how we might actually be getting it wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Use the code, ALISA, to get 10% off any product.www.sevenweekscoffee.comGOOD RANCHERSGood Ranchers: American Meat Delivered Use the code, ALISA, to get your FREE 10lb Easter Ham!Go to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.SUMMIT MINISTRIESGive your teens an unshakeable faith that will last a lifetime.Use the code, ALISA24 for a 200.00 discount.www.summit.org/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/anothergospelTo order “Live Your Truth": www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.comFor all links to Alisa’s recommended reading, visit the Alisa Childers Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/alisachildersTo 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.

Jolenba ,

Super Relevant and Informative Podcast

I’m so grateful for having found this podcast. I live in Australia but grew up in the USA. Usually whatever happens in America happens later on here. I hadn’t heard about deconstruction prior to listening about it here. Now I know what to look out for when I see it happening here.
That said, I certainly do see plenty of other issues in churches that Alisa covers as well as ways to speak to those outside the church. Alisa, well done on all you do! You are a fantastic light in a dark world!

Challenging, sharpening, equipping

Thank you Alisa. Been following this channel for around 2 years.

Always spot-on with the truth

Cannot say how much I appreciate this podcast in unpacking so many of the issues facing both individuals and the broader church in our word today. I always leave with more to think about but feeling encouraged and uplifted! Thank you!
