#366 Bethel Exposed: What Should Christians Do Now? | Naomi Wright
What happens when the leaders you trusted are exposed?and the system you believed in starts to collapse?
In this episode, I sit down with Naomi Wright, founder of Be Emboldened, to walk through the real fallout of spiritual abuse, cover-up culture, and false authority in the church. Naomi shares her firsthand experience growing up in a cult, escaping it, and rebuilding her understanding of God, truth, and Scripture from the ground up.
We also address the growing controversy surrounding Bethel and the broader New Apostolic Reformation movement?where recent exposures have raised serious questions about prophecy, leadership, and accountability in the church.
We dig into the broader implications of these revelations, including patterns of manipulation, fake prophecy, and the protection of abusers. More importantly, we answer the question many are asking right now: What next?
This conversation tackles:
How to recognize spiritual abuse and high-control leadership
Why people stay?and why leaving is so difficult
The psychological and theological aftermath of deception
How to rebuild discernment and trust in Scripture
Practical steps for individuals and churches moving forward
If you?re processing disillusionment, questioning what you?ve been taught, or trying to help others navigate the aftermath?this episode provides clarity, categories, and a path forward grounded in truth.

#365 Biblical Forgiveness Isn?t What You?ve Been Told | Teasi Cannon
Is ?forgive and forget? actually biblical ? or a modern therapeutic idea Christians have absorbed without realizing it? In this episode, I sit down with Teasi Cannon to challenge one of the most widely accepted assumptions in church culture: that forgiveness is primarily about personal emotional freedom.
We unpack the biblical pattern of forgiveness as something tied to repentance, truth, and real relational restoration ? not merely an internal process of releasing bad feelings. The conversation tackles hard questions many believers wrestle with: What about unrepentant offenders? Does healing require forgiveness? How should Christians think about reconciliation after abuse or spiritual harm?
This episode exposes how a feelings-centered model of forgiveness became dominant and why redefining forgiveness matters for the gospel itself. If you?ve ever felt confused, pressured, or spiritually burdened by popular teachings on forgiveness, this discussion offers a framework designed to bring clarity and biblical precision.

#364 Did Adam & Eve Really Exist? Why It Matters More Than You Think | Dr. J.R. Miller
Did Adam and Eve really exist ? and does it actually matter for the gospel?
In this episode, we continue our exploration of origins, tackling some of the most controversial questions Christians are asking today. From theistic evolution to intelligent design, from young-earth to old-earth views, the debate often centers on science. But what?s really at stake is theology. Was Adam a real, historical person ? the sole biological ancestor of the human race ? or merely a symbolic representative? And how does the answer shape our understanding of sin, salvation, and the authority of Scripture?
I?m joined by Dr. J. R. Miller for a thoughtful and candid conversation about how to interpret Genesis, what modern origin models claim, and why the historic Christian view of Adam has been so foundational to the gospel message. We also discuss areas where faithful believers may disagree ? while wrestling honestly with the theological consequences of redefining humanity?s beginnings.
This episode will challenge you to think more deeply about what you believe, why you believe it, and how the story of the first man connects to the story of the Second Adam.

#363 It?s Time to End Same-Sex Marriage? A Child-Centered Case | Katy Faust
What if the real victims of marriage redefinition were never the adults?but the children?
In this explosive conversation, Katie Faust joins me to talk about her bold new Greater Than Campaign and why it?s time for Christians to stop whispering about marriage, family, IVF, surrogacy, and child commodification. Katie argues that when we center adult desire, children always lose?and the fallout of Obergefell has proven exactly that.
We discuss why children need a mother and a father, how marriage law reshaped parenthood law, why conservatives have often made the wrong argument, and how the church must recover the courage to speak clearly about what is best for kids.
This episode is not just about politics. It?s about justice for children, biblical truth, and answering the biggest cultural questions of our time.
We cover:
Why Katie says it?s time to end gay marriage
How Obergefell changed parenthood, IVF, and surrogacy
Why children?not adults?are the true victims
How the church can stop playing defense
Why today?s culture war is really about what it means to be human

#362 Disability Justice? The Hidden Branch of Critical Theory Infiltrating the Church | Ela ?The Disapologist?
What happens when critical theory gets applied to disability? In this fascinating conversation, Alisa sits down with Christian apologist Ela, known online as The DisApologist, who herself lives with a physical disability, to talk about the rise of disability theology and disability justice, and why so many of its claims are incompatible with a biblical worldview.
Drawing parallels to critical race theory and gender theory, Ela explains how disability is increasingly being framed through the lens of oppressed vs. oppressor, with ?able-bodied? people cast as the privileged class. Together, we discuss how these ideas are showing up in the church, how books like My Body Is Not a Prayer Request are influencing Christians, and why it matters so much to think biblically about suffering, healing, justice, identity, and human dignity.
This conversation is both eye-opening and deeply practical. How can churches be truly welcoming and accessible to people with disabilities without importing unbiblical theology? What does Scripture actually say? And how can Christians respond with both compassion and truth?
This is an important episode for anyone who wants to think clearly, love well, and stay grounded in a biblical worldview.

#361 From Gender Confusion and Lesbian Identity to Freedom in Christ | Christine Sneeringer
Christine Sneeringer joins me for a powerful and hope-filled conversation about trauma, identity, redemption, and the life-changing power of Christ.
Christine shares her story of surviving years of sexual abuse, wrestling with deep confusion about her biological sex, and eventually living as a lesbian before Jesus radically saved her. She talks candidly about the pain and lies that shaped her identity, the long road of sanctification, and the healing God brought into her life as she learned to trust His design.
We also discuss how the church has been slow to respond to the cultural revolution around sexuality and gender, why so many young people are being swept up in today?s transgender ideology, and why true compassion must be grounded in truth. Christine now leads Worthy Creations, where she ministers to people struggling with unwanted same-sex attraction and gender confusion, offering biblical hope and encouragement.
You can learn more about Christine, her ministry, and her book Answers to Gender Madness at worthycreations.org.

#360 Theistic Evolution vs Intelligent Design: What?s the Difference? | Dr. JT Bridges
Today we?re continuing our conversation about theistic evolution and the theological implications of how we think about origins.
In this episode, Dr. JT Bridges helps us untangle what people actually mean when they say ?evolution,? breaking down the difference between microevolution (small adaptations within a species) and macroevolution (the claim that one species can become another over long periods of time). We also talk about neodarwinism, intelligent design, and why so many debates about origins aren?t just about data. They?re about the philosophical assumptions we bring to the data.
One of the most eye-opening parts of this conversation is the idea that science doesn?t interpret itself. Two scientists can look at the same evidence and reach different conclusions?because interpretation requires philosophy, and many scientists simply aren?t trained to recognize when philosophical assumptions (like naturalism) are steering the outcome.
We also get into what?s actually at stake for Christians. If Darwinian macroevolution is taken as the full story of human origins, it raises serious questions about Adam and Eve, sin, and ultimately the coherence of the gospel message...especially the biblical teaching that sin entered the world through one man and that redemption comes through Christ.
This one is for the science nerds, the philosophy nerds, and anyone who?s ever felt overwhelmed by terms like ?Big Bang,? ?intelligent design,? ?macro vs. micro,? and ?philosophy of science.? We go deep in the weeds?but I think you?ll come away with a clearer framework for thinking biblically and carefully about origins.

#359 Young Earth, Old Earth, or Theistic Evolution? | Dr. Tricia Scribner
Today?s episode tackles a topic I?ve wanted to explore for years: the age of the earth and what Christians should really believe about origins. Is the earth young? Is it old? Did God use evolutionary mechanisms to bring about life as we know it? And most importantly, what actually matters theologically?
Joining me in the studio is Dr. Tricia Scribner, whose PhD research focused specifically on these questions. Together we unpack the key differences between young earth creationism, old earth creationism, and theistic evolution. These are distinctions that are far more significant than they first appear. We also discuss the overlap between progressive Christianity and Theistic Evolution.
Ultimately, we examine why confusion about origins is growing in churches, seminaries, and Christian universities ? and how Christians can think carefully, biblically, and charitably about these issues without turning secondary questions into unnecessary dividing lines.

#358 How Universities Quietly Changed America | Dr. Corey Miller
If you're going to send your kids or grandkids to university, you need to understand what?s happening there. Because if you don?t, you may be paying for the apostasy of your own children.
That?s not hyperbole. That?s the sobering reality we?re discussing in today?s episode.
Our culture hasn?t just ?shifted? over the last five to ten years. According to my guest, it has undergone a soft revolution; one that didn?t begin with riots or political slogans, but in classrooms, lecture halls, and faculty lounges decades ago. The real battleground wasn?t first Washington, it was the university.
Today I?m joined by Dr. Corey Miller, president of Ratio Christi and author of The Progressive Miseducation of America. Drawing from years of teaching philosophy and comparative religion at Indiana University and leading a campus apologetics ministry active on over 100 universities, Dr. Miller explains how higher education became the epicenter of an ideological transformation reshaping the West.
In this conversation, we explore:
What a ?soft revolution? actually is?and why it?s more powerful than most people realize
How universities shifted from truth-seeking institutions to engines of worldview formation
Why politics is downstream from culture?and culture is downstream from education
How even Christian colleges are not immune to ideological capture
The rise of what some are calling the ?woke right??and why Dr. Miller argues that label is misleading
Why terms like ?dissident right? may better capture the philosophical roots of certain emerging movements
Dr. Miller also shares his personal story?from seventh-generation Mormon (with ancestors connected to Joseph Smith) to skeptic to Christian philosopher?and how that journey shaped his passion to help students not just survive university, but thrive intellectually and spiritually.
Perhaps most importantly, we discuss what parents, pastors, and students can actually do. If revolutions can happen slowly through institutions, then rebuilding must be intentional and long-term. Dr. Miller even talks about a 40?50 year strategy for reclaiming the university.
This episode is sobering, clarifying, and surprisingly hopeful.
If you care about the next generation, about truth, and about the future of Christian witness in the academy.

#357 Not Every Doctrine Is Equal (Here?s Why) | David Geisler
In a ?can?t we all just agree to disagree?? age, how do Christians know which doctrines are worth dividing over?and which ones faithful believers can disagree about in good conscience?
The New Testament repeatedly warns that false teachers will arise from within the church, twisting the gospel and drawing people away. But that raises a crucial question: what exactly counts as ?the gospel,? and what beliefs are essential to salvation?
In today?s episode, I?m joined by David Geisler, who carries on the work of his father, Dr. Norman Geisler, to help Christians sort the difference between essential and non-essential doctrines?with clarity, charity, and conviction.
We also dig into the 2025 State of Theology research (Lifeway Research commissioned by Ligonier Ministries) and the results are sobering: many professing Christians are confused about core, gospel-defining doctrines like God?s nature, the Trinity, the resurrection, and human sin.
Together, we walk through 15 core essentials?doctrines that directly relate to salvation?and talk about why some truths may be logically necessary even if a new believer can?t articulate them yet. We also discuss why compromise may be one of the biggest threats to the church right now.
If you?ve ever felt confused by the endless ?lists? online, or you?ve heard progressive Christianity flatten everything into the same category, this conversation will help you think clearly and biblically about what must be protected and how to pursue unity without surrendering truth.

#356 Given 2 Weeks to Terminate Their Baby ? They Chose Life | The Leopard Family
When Jeff and Cat Leopard learned their daughter Adelyne had Trisomy 18, they were told she was ?incompatible with life,? pressured to terminate, and given a countdown on a calendar. Instead, as Christians who believe every human being is made in the image of God, they chose life, and then fought for the medical care that would honor their daughter?s dignity. What followed was heartbreak, advocacy, hospital corridors, hard conversations? and an unexpected, stubborn hope.
You?ll hear the Leopards? full journey from the cold, clinical appointment that offered only abortion or ?comfort care,? to the physicians who finally said, ?We?re going to do everything we can.? We also talk candidly about what Trisomy 18 is, how the ?incompatible with life? label is often used, and why Christians must think clearly about personhood, human value, and the worldview assumptions driving modern bioethics. Jeff also shares how he teaches students to spot the cracks in naturalism, and why pro-life conviction isn?t just a political position?it?s a worldview lived out in real suffering, real love, and real courage.

#355 How to Talk To Your Kids About Sex: A Biblical, Step-by-Step Guide | Elizabeth Urbanowicz
In this jam-packed (and super practical) conversation, I sits down with Elizabeth Urbanowicz, founder of Foundation Worldview, to tackle ?the talk? for kids ages 4?10?without the awkwardness, the shame, or the purity-culture baggage.
Elizabeth models exact, age-appropriate language for:
Bodies + biology (male/female, privacy, and protection)
Sex + marriage (framed as a covenant promise, not a dirty secret)
Reproduction (simple, clear, and biblical)
Pornography (the ?Stop, Run, Tell? plan every child needs)
Gender confusion + transgender claims (truth with compassion)
Homosexuality (God?s design, sin?s distortion, and the hope of the gospel)
Masturbation (when and how to address it)
We also discuss the modesty conversation, responding to the painful message many girls heard in church: ?Cover up or men will lust.? Instead, we reframe modesty as redirecting attention back to God...without making the body feel inherently shameful.
If you?ve been hesitant because you don?t want to ?mess it up,? this episode will put tools in your hand and confidence in your words.

#354 Are the Gospels Anonymous? A Scholar Responds, with Adam Claasen
If someone told you the Gospels were ?anonymous legends written decades later,? would you know how to answer without panic-googling?
In this episode, Historian Adam Claason joins me for a deep (but very accessible) conversation on gospel reliability. We discuss who actually wrote Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John...and does it matter?
We tackle the viral claim that ?the Gospels never name their authors? (true)? and why that doesn?t mean the church just made the names up. Adam breaks down how ancient historians evaluated sources, why eyewitness testimony carried weight in the Greco-Roman world, what Luke is doing in his opening lines, and how the ?late legendary development? theory doesn?t fit the evidence nearly as well as people assume.
If you?ve ever wondered:
Were the Gospels written by eyewitnesses?or by strangers pretending to be them?
Were they written too late to be historically trustworthy?
Why early Christians were so unified on authorship (and why we don?t find competing names)
What ?eyewitness primacy? is, and why it changed the conversation, this one will equip you to think clearly, respond confidently, and trust that Christianity isn?t built on ?cleverly devised tales,? but on testimony grounded in real history.

#353 Cultural Chaos: Furries, Propaganda, NAR Scandals and the Woke Right, with Melissa Dougherty
Does your social feed feel like a theological and cultural food fight lately? Let's face it. It?s chaotic out there ? and today we talk about basically all of it.
I?m joined by my friend Melissa Dougherty for one of our big-picture, no-stone-unturned conversations about what?s blowing up online, what Christians are getting wrong, and how to stay grounded in truth when the noise gets loud.
We cover everything from furry fandom (and what parents NEED to know), to conspiracy spirals, propaganda tactics, anti-intellectualism in the church, Bethel controversies, the rise of the woke right, immigration, and why critical thinking is not the enemy of faith.
We also end on a high note with Melissa?s beautiful new Easter allegory for kids, The Day That Made the Way.

#352 He Was Ready to Become an Atheist...Then This Happened, with Allen Hainline and Devin Squeri
When long-buried questions finally surface, faith can feel like it?s hanging by a thread. In this episode, Alisa sits down with Allen Hainline and Devin Squeri to walk gently and honestly through a real crisis of belief. Devon shares how decades of suppressed doubts, scientific objections, and persuasive online voices nearly led him to abandon Christianity, and what happened when he decided to truly investigate instead of walk away. Together they offer compassionate guidance for anyone wrestling with doubt, expose common internet myths, and show how patient discipleship and solid answers can rebuild confidence in the gospel. If you or someone you love is struggling, this conversation points to hope, clarity, and real help through resources like Devin's book, The Doubt Project, and talkaboutdoubts.com.

#351 Repentance or Damage Control? Testing Bethel Against the Scripture
Was that biblical repentance...or something else?
In this episode, I take a hard look at the recent controversy surrounding Bethel Church and the public response from its leaders, including Kris Vallotton and Bill Johnson, following the exposure of false prophecy and abuse connected to Shawn Bolz. Many Christians celebrated what they called repentance. Others weren?t so sure.
Instead of reacting emotionally or choosing sides online, we?re going to Scripture. What does the Bible actually say repentance looks like? How do we tell the difference between godly sorrow and regret over being exposed? And does public confession automatically mean restoration to leadership?

#350 The War on Western Civilization, with John Stonestreet
Today I?m joined by John Stonestreet from the Colson Center for a conversation about what?s happening to the West?and why so much of our cultural confusion suddenly seems to ?make sense? once you understand the deeper worldview battle underneath it.
We talk about why civilizations are built around shared principles, and what happens when a society tries to keep the ?fruit? of those principles?human rights, equality, dignity, freedom?while severing the roots that made them possible. John explains why the chaos and strange alliances we?ve seen in recent years aren?t random, but often share a common goal: undermining Western civilization itself.
John offers practical guidance for living faithfully in a hostile culture: refusing to repeat what isn?t true, being willing to have hard conversations, trusting God with outcomes, and asking four questions in your own sphere of influence: What?s good to protect? What?s evil to oppose? What?s broken to restore? What?s missing to contribute?

#349 Hidden Sin, Near Divorce, and the Christian Music Machine, with Michael O?Brien
Today?s conversation is a candid and at times sobering look inside the contemporary Christian music industry?where calling, platform, pressure, and spiritual warfare often collide. My guest is Michael O?Brien, beloved solo artist from the ?90s and former lead singer of NewSong. Michael opens up about the grueling pace of life on the road, the hidden sins that nearly cost him his marriage, and how the Lord used conviction, repentance, counseling, and a renewed love for Scripture to rebuild what was breaking.
We also talk honestly about the ?machine? that can form around Christian celebrity, how easy it is for sin to stay buried in public ministry, and why true reform in the Christian music world won?t come through branding?but through humility, servant leadership, and gospel purity. Along the way, we discuss the current cultural moment, the renewed interest in church and Christianity, and why discernment is more important than ever?especially for brand-new believers who are hungry, hopeful, and vulnerable to bad theology.

#348 When ?Better? Isn?t Biblical: Rethinking Progressive Bible Interpretations
This is the first episode of the New Year, and I'm starting with a deep dive into how progressive Christianity approaches the Bible.
In this episode, Natasha Crain and I walk through Better Ways to Read the Bible by progressive Christian pastor Zach Lambert, using it as a case study to examine common progressive claims about Scripture. Lambert argues that the Bible is often read through ?harmful lenses? and should instead be read through new ?healing? ones. While we agree that the Bible has been misused in real and damaging ways, we explain why his proposed solutions create more confusion than clarity.
We discuss the critical difference between:
The nature of Scripture (inspiration, inerrancy, authority)The interpretation of Scripture (how we determine meaning)Along the way, we address:
Why ?literalism? is often misrepresented in progressive theologyHow progressive Christianity reframes hell, sin, and judgmentMoralism vs. legalism?and what Scripture actually teaches about graceLiberation theology, critical theory, and power-based readings of the BibleThe misuse of ?fruit? language to justify affirming what Scripture calls sinWhy progressive Christians still identify as Christian?and why sincerity is not the same as truthThis conversation is not about motives or tone. It?s about theology, presuppositions, and whether the progressive framework is consistent with the historic Christian faith.
We?re starting the year by going back to first principles: what the Bible is, how it should be read, and why those questions matter.

#347 The Zoegirl Reunion Fans Have Waited For (25 Years Later!)
In this very special episode, I?m reunited with my ZOEgirl bandmates, Kristin Schweain and Chrissy Katina, to celebrate 25 years since our very first self-titled album released back in 2000. If you remember us as the ?Christian Spice Girls? for tween girls, this one is for you! And even if you?ve never heard our music, I think you?ll be encouraged by three former CCM artists who are still walking with Jesus in an age of deconstruction.
We share big news: ZOEgirl has written and recorded a brand-new song that will release in January, in honor of our 25-year anniversary. We talk about what it was like to re-enter the studio together after all these years, and we give life updates on what?s happened since we came off the road around 2008?family, ministry, photography, worship leading, and more.
We also get honest about the darker side of the Christian music industry?the body-image pressures, the pull toward ?mainstream-friendly? lyrics, and what it was like to watch so many fellow artists deconstruct or walk away from the faith. Kristin shares the powerful pro-life story of her son Callum?s high-risk pregnancy and the pressure she faced to abort. Chrissy talks about years-long health struggles, losing her voice, and what God taught her in a long season of ?just listening.?
Finally, all three of us answer a simple but profound question: ?Why do you still believe?? We talk about sin, grace, the reliability of the gospel, and why Christianity isn?t just comforting...it?s true. If you grew up on ZOEgirl, or if you?re trying to stand firm in your faith in a culture that?s increasingly hostile to biblical Christianity, this episode is for you.

#346 You're Not a Victim of Motherhood: Pushing Back on Victimhood Culture, with Abbie Halberstadt
When motherhood feels more like a thousand little deaths to self than the glossy highlight reel on Instagram, is it really worth it?
In this episode, I?m joined by my friend Abby Halberstadt, better known as M is for Mama, to talk about her new book, You Bet Your Stretch Marks: Finding Beauty and Worth in the Ways Motherhood Marks Our Bodies and Souls. Abby is a mom of 10, a fitness instructor, and a deeply theologically grounded voice speaking into the chaos of modern motherhood. Together we tackle comparison, cultural backlash, ?honest motherhood,? and what it really means to live as a faithful, joyful mom in a world that often treats children like a burden instead of a blessing.
We talk about:
Why our ?marks? (stretch marks, scars, sleepless nights, and hidden sacrifices) can be beautiful testimonies of love, not flaws to hide
How to push back against a culture that normalizes complaining, victimhood, and joking about hating motherhood
The difference between rejoicing in all things and enjoying all things
How our words, attitudes, and even facial expressions shape the spiritual atmosphere of our homes
Comparison, social media, and what to do when people accuse you of being ?fake,? ?toxic positive,? or ?doing it for the ?gram?
Training our kids with a long view of legacy parenting?seeing everyday faithfulness as an investment in generations we may never meet
Why obedience to Christ in the hidden, thankless moments is always worth it, even when our feelings lag behind our theology
Abby also shares personal stories of suffering, health struggles, miscarriages, and how God?s kindness and sovereignty sustained her through it all. If you?re a mom who?s tired, discouraged, or tempted to believe the lie that you?re ?not enough,? this conversation is for you.

#344 A Beginner?s Guide to the Christian Worldview, with Greg Koukl
In this episode of the Alisa Childers Podcast, I?m joined by my friend and OG apologist, Greg Koukl of Stand to Reason, for what I hope will be the episode you send to a brand-new Christian who?s asking, ?Where do I even start??
In the wake of so many people coming to Christ, especially following Charlie Kirk?s death, Greg and I talk about how to help new believers understand the big story of the Bible: who God is, who we are, what?s gone wrong with the world, and how Jesus? life, death, and resurrection make sense of all of it. Drawing from his book The Story of Reality, Greg walks us through the narrative arc of the Christian worldview using five simple words: God, man, Jesus, cross, resurrection.
We also talk about:
Why Christianity isn?t ?your truth vs. my truth,? but a picture of reality
Why God?s justice and love are not in tension but perfectly meet at the cross
Heaven, hell, judgment, and why what you do with Jesus really does matter forever
Practical encouragement for new Christians: how to start reading your Bible, why you need a solid local church, and how to think about prayer when it feels hard
If you?re new to the faith, or you love someone who is, this episode is for you.

#343 Candace Owens, Discernment, and the Crisis of Critical Thinking
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.

#342 Gender Isn't a Spectrum...It's God's Design, with Dr. Jeff Myers & Dr. Kathy Koch
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. stereotype
Social media, rapid-onset confusion, and wise boundaries
Age-appropriate scripts for tough questions
When boys want dresses & girls want buzz cuts?how to respond
Genesis 1?2, identity, and human flourishing
Building homes where God?s voice is the loudest

#341 Men and Women Are Not the Same (and That?s Good!) with Denny Burk
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 episode
Complementarianism vs. egalitarianism...why it matters for the home and the church
The 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 desires
How progressive readings reinterpret Scripture?and how to respond
The beauty of sexual difference and the goodness of God?s design
Real encouragement and testimonies for parents of prodigals/deconstructed kids

#340 Apologetics Isn't a Dirty Word: What Everyone Gets Wrong, with Douglas Groothuis
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.

#339 The Dark Side of Deliverance: Pagan Roots and Spiritual Abuse, with Anna Kitko
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 possession
Why much of deliverance ministry functions like spiritualized mental-health care?without accountability or clinical ethics
The 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 abuse
What true, biblical deliverance and spiritual warfare look like?prayer, truth, and faithfulness under Christ?s authority alone
This 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.

#338 The Discreditation Machine: 6 Manipulative Tactics to Silence Truth, with Megan Basham
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.

#337 Dominionism, Third-Way, and the Christian Right: A Friendly Debate, with Jesse Westwood
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.

#336 John Cooper Goes Off on Third-Waysim: Is the West Worth Saving?
After the 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.

#335 The Progressive Poison Spreading Through Christian Colleges, with Dr. Everett Piper
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.

#334 Why Political and cultural Engagement Is Not a social Gospel, with Frank Turek
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.

#333 3rd Wayism vs. NAR: Opposite Errors Threatening the Church, with Jon Root
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.

#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.

#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.

#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.

#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.

#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.

#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.

#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.

#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.

#324 A Tribute to my dad, Chuck Girard 1943-2025
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.

#323 Why Theology Falls Apart Without THIS (Prolegomena) with Dr. Doug Potter
Why do Christians who read the same Bible often end up with completely different beliefs?
It usually comes down to something most people have never even heard of: prolegomena?how we approach Scripture before we even start reading it.
In this episode, Dr. Doug Potter joins me to unpack why our view of the Bible, truth, and language shapes everything we believe. We?ll explore:
Why two people can read the same verse and come to opposite conclusions
What ?prolegomena? really means and why it matters
How your starting point determines your theology
If you?ve ever wondered why Christians disagree so much, this conversation goes back to the foundations.

#321 Lessons We Can Learn from the Chip and Joanna Gaines Controversy
Chip and Joanna Gaines made headlines last week when their new show, "Back to the Frontier," prominently featured a same-sex couple with children procured through IVF and surrogacy. The significant backlash from their largely Christian base has caused quite the stir. But this isn't the first time the Gaineses have been tested in the public square. In today's podcast, I go back to 2016 to when they were criticized for not featuring a same-sex couple on their hit show "Fixer Upper," and how their response back then made the way for their compromise in 2025. Plus, I hit on three very important principles of discernment that are especially important when assessing the public confessions of faith from celebrities and influencers.
