    #376 Top Bible Scholar Debunks TikTok Bible Myths | Dr. Dan Wallace

    From viral TikTok claims to skeptical arguments popularized by comedians and progressive influencers, Christians are constantly told that the Bible was rewritten, corrupted, edited by kings and popes, and passed down like a giant game of telephone. But is any of that actually true? In this conversation, I sit down with New Testament scholar Dr. Dan Wallace as he explains what textual criticism really is, how New Testament manuscripts were copied and preserved, what textual variants actually mean, and why the evidence for the reliability of the New Testament is far stronger than most people realize.  We discuss: Whether the Bible was changed over time The “telephone game” objection Bart Ehrman and textual variants How scholars determine the original wording of Scripture Why manuscript differences don’t threaten core Christian doctrine The history of canonization and transmission Viral skeptical claims circulating online today Why this conversation matters for Christians raising kids in a skeptical culture If questions about the reliability of Scripture have ever unsettled you—or someone you love—this episode offers both historical depth and practical clarity. ----------------------------------------------------------------- This video is sponsored by: SEVEN WEEKS COFFEE Taste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.

    #375 Deconstruction: Proof They Were Never Saved? | Answering Your Hardest Questions

    How do you know when a church has abandoned biblical truth? Can Christians practice discernment without becoming cynical? Why are so many young people deconstructing their faith? And can AI ever develop true discernment? In this candid Q&A episode, Alisa tackles some of the biggest questions Christians are wrestling with right now — progressive Christianity, deconstruction, parenting in a hostile culture, false teaching, salvation, political division, and the growing confusion around truth itself. Alisa explains why truth is not subjective, why discernment is a biblical command (not an optional spiritual gift), and why Christians must stop outsourcing their thinking to influencers, platforms, and emotional claims. She also shares practical wisdom for handling difficult conversations, responding to skeptical questions, and raising kids without fear in a culture designed to undermine faith. ----------------------------------------------------------------- This video is sponsored by: WE HEART NUTRITION From Our Family to Yours, Whole Supplements for Every Age and Stage.

    #372 From Same-Sex Relationship to Freedom in Christ | Patti Height

    Patti Height thought she had finally found freedom—identity, love, acceptance, success. But beneath it all was confusion, trauma, addiction, and pain. In this gripping conversation, she shares how God interrupted everything and radically changed both her life and the life of the woman she was living with—on the same day. From same-sex relationship to sisters in Christ, Patty’s story is a powerful testimony of repentance, healing, and the transforming power of Jesus. She also speaks candidly about gender confusion, abuse, false identity, sanctification, and the hope available to anyone who feels stuck. This is a raw, emotional, gospel-centered conversation about truth, freedom, and the God who still saves. ------------------------------------------------------------------ This video is sponsored by: WE HEART NUTRITION From Our Family to Yours, Whole Supplements for Every Age and Stage.

    #371 We Need to Talk About Christian Nationalism: What It Really Is | Dr. Bill Roach

    Christian nationalism is one of the most debated and misunderstood issues in the church today. Is it simply a smear label used against conservatives—or is there a real movement seeking to reshape America’s political and religious order? In this episode, Dr. Bill Roach joins me to break through the confusion. We discuss the many competing definitions of Christian nationalism, the factions claiming the label, and why clarity matters. Dr. Roach explains the historical roots behind modern Christian nationalist thought, how some versions challenge religious liberty, and why others frame it as a return to America’s founding principles. We also examine parallels between the woke left and what some call the woke right, the dangers of authoritarianism from either side, and how Christians should think biblically about politics, freedom, and truth in a polarized age. ------------------------------------------------------------------ This video is sponsored by: FOUNDATION WORLDVIEW Foundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to think Biblically in a deceptive world.  Go to www.foundationworldview.com for more information.

    #369 Sending Your Christian Kid to College? 5 Challenges to Prepare For | Dr. Jonathan Morrow

    Today’s students are stepping into a cultural landscape unlike any generation before them—one shaped by hyper-personalization, competing worldviews, and constant digital influence. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jonathan Morrow to unpack what that means for young Christians preparing for college—and the parents guiding them. Jonathan, director of cultural engagement at Impact 360 Institute and author of Welcome to College, explains why the stakes are higher than ever. We break down five major cultural challenges students are facing right now—from shifting views on truth and identity to the impact of social media, AI, and progressive ideology on faith formation. We also go deeper than surface-level issues. This conversation explores the underlying forces shaping this generation: a loss of confidence in knowing truth, the rise of relativism, and a growing culture of tribalism where power—not persuasion—drives belief. If students are being trained to see reality as customizable, how do they hold onto objective truth? This episode is both diagnostic and practical. We discuss how students can develop a resilient, well-reasoned faith—and how parents can proactively prepare their kids before they ever step onto a college campus. Whether your student is heading to a secular university or a Christian college, the cultural pressures are real—and they’re not going away. Topics include: The five biggest cultural challenges facing college students today Why truth is now seen as personal—and how that impacts faith The role of social media and digital discipleship How progressive ideas are influencing Christian institutions What parents can do now to prepare their kids for long-term faith If you want your student to not just survive college—but graduate with a stronger, more grounded faith—this conversation lays the foundation. ------------------------------------------------------------------ This video is sponsored by: GOOD RANCHERS American Meat Delivered Go to https://go.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.
