Untamed is a very popular (and trendy) book written by Glennon Doyle that has enchanted millions of people. Published in 2020, it's a memoir of Glennon Doyle. One reviewer describes the book in this way: "This testament to female empowerment and self-love, with an endearing coming-out story at the center, will delight readers." The scary patriarchy. Radical feminism. White supremacy. Oppressed by religion. Not to mention the Progressive/New Age spirituality scattered throughout the book. With a book so relevant and popular, not just culturally but spiritually, I had to invite my friend Melissa Dougherty to chime in with her thoughts as we discuss this influential work. ------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:GOOD RANCHERSGood Ranchers: American Meat Delivered Subscribe in May 2023 and lock in your price for 2 full years!.Also use the code, ALISA, and get $30.00 off your first box!Go to goodranchers.com/alisa for more informationSOUTHERN EVANGELICAL SEMINARYSteadfast in the TruthGo to ses.edu/alisa for more information about Southern Evangelical Seminary and to download your free ebook. --------------------------------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/alisachildersTo order “Another Gospel”: https://www.alisachilders.com/anothergospelTo order "Live Your Truth": https://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.

Melissa Dougherty, a former New-Ager and member of CrossExamined Apologist Team, discusses the rise and impact of the New Age movement in America and the church. Topics include the distinction between New Age and New Thought, overlap with Progressive Christianity, redemption for the Gospel, the influence of Jehovah's Witnesses, and God's role in the New Age. The episode explores how New Age teachings compromise the truth of the Gospel.

Mike Winger, a former New Age/New Thought practitioner, and Melissa Dougherty, also from that background, dive deep into the misinterpretations of the Bible that fuel New Age and Word of Faith teachings. They clarify 15 specific scriptures, contrasting genuine biblical abundance with prosperity gospel ideas. The duo discusses the importance of humility in judgment, the essence of inner thoughts, and the power of words. They urge discernment in spiritual experiences and emphasize aligning prayer with God's will over personal desires.
