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.
