    #332 Should Christians Pledge Fraternities and Sororities? with Ty Jones

    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 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!  Use my code: ALISA BRAVE BOOKS Entertainment that Engages the Imagination for Good.   Go to www.bravebooks.com/childers for more information Use my code: CHILDERS SEVEN WEEKS COFFEE Taste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.

    #331 Revival Is Here — And It’s Going to Be Messy. Thoughts about the Charlie Kirk Memorial

    In this episode, I share my personal reflections from attending the Charlie Kirk Memorial in person. I talk about the undeniable realities of what took place: the gospel was proclaimed with boldness and clarity to the whole world. There was strong theology in some moments—and some troubling theology in others. I also open up about my ongoing angst regarding worship music and how I experienced the worship at this event. Ultimately, I believe we are witnessing a genuine move of God—a real revival. And like the Jesus people revival of the early 70's, it’s probably going to be messy. Finally, I share a new policy regarding my future speaking events. These changes come from much prayer, counsel, and reflection, and I hope they give you insight into my heart and the direction I believe God is leading. Also, I'm on X now!

    #330 You Might Be Twisting the Bible (Without Even Realizing It), with BJ Mauser

    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 RANCHERS American Meat Delivered Go to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.

    #329 Charlie Kirk, Conspiracy Theories, and the Hope of the Gospel

    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 BOOKS Entertainment that Engages the Imagination for Good.  Go to www.bravebooks.com/childers for more information Use my code: CHILDERS 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!  Use my code: ALISA -------------------------------------------------------------------- To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/music There you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.

    #328 The Holy Spirit Is Not Your Genie: Responding to Jenn Johnson’s Troubling Theology

    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 BOOKS Entertainment that Engages the Imagination for Good.

    #327 Can History be Known? Yes. Here's Why it Matters for Christianity, with Brian Huffling

    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 LEATHER American-Made Craftsmanship from Wyoming Go to www.rangeleather.com for more information Use my code: ALISA BRAVE BOOKS Entertainment that Engages the Imagination for Good.   Go to www.bravebooks.com/childers for more information Use my code: CHILDERS IMPACT 360 Leading Gen Z Conference hosted by Impact 360 Institute September 11, 2025 in Newnan, GA.

    #326 How to Guard Against Mission Drift, with Judge Phil Ginn

    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 COFFEE Taste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.

    #325 Leaving the LGBTQ Life Behind to Follow Jesus, with Brady Cone

    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 BOOKS Entertainment that Engages the Imagination for Good.  Go to www.bravebooks.com/childers for more information Use my code: CHILDERS GOOD RANCHERS American Meat Delivered Go to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.
