The Alisa Childers Podcast

Which books should every Christian bookstore remove immediately? Which ones should they make sure and stock up on? Author, blogger, and book reviewer Tim Challies joins the podcast today to give his opinion on the best 3 and worst 4 books every church book store should be aware of. We also talk about his new book, Seasons of Sorrow, about the tragic and sudden passing of his son, Nick and how Tim and his family have navigated that loss. Tim reflects on the goodness of God, the problem of suffering and evil, and whether or not his opinion on certain “bad books” has changed in light of his personal season of sorrow.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:CARLY JEAN LOS ANGELEScarlyjeanlosangeles.comCarly Jean Los Angeles is a capsule clothing and lifestyle brand that exists to help women simplify their closets and feel beautiful in every season of life.Use the code, ALISA, and get 20% off your order!GOOD RANCHERSGood Ranchers: American Meat Delivered Act Now and get 2 Years Free Ground Beef and 2 years Price Lock-in!Use the code, ALISA, and get $25.00 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/To order "Beauty From the Ash": https://www.alisachilders.com/musicFor 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.

Jason Jimenez, an expert on progressive teachings of Jesus' deity and humanity, joins the podcast to discuss how progressive teachers are hijacking Jesus and denying core historic truths. They explore topics such as Jesus' virgin birth, miracles, atoning sacrifice, resurrection, and second coming, comparing them to historic Christian doctrines. They also address progressive Christians' questioning and denial of Jesus' miracles and atonement, and the different interpretations of Jesus within progressive Christianity.

Dr. Neil Shenvi and Dr. Pat Sawyer discuss their book, Critical Dilemma, which explores the infusion of critical theory into Western society. They tackle topics like the impact of social justice on Christian epistemology, the portrayal of intersectionality in American Girl dolls, and the compatibility of social justice with the Gospel. This episode helps navigate the cultural chaos surrounding issues of race, sexuality, and identity politics.

John Cooper joins me for another “mashup” episode going out to both our platforms this week! In this episode, we talk about the state of Contemporary Christian music, and how we got to a place in history in which industry insiders are promoting and defending anti-Christian values among their artists. We cover everything from recent events such as a drag queen topping the iTunes Christian charts to recent deconstruction stories to who owns the Christian record labels. We end with some encouragement and a hopeful call to the church to return to the fear of God and holiness. ------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:GOOD RANCHERSGood Ranchers: American Meat Delivered Act Now and get 2 Years Free Ground Beef! Use the code, ALISA, and get $25.00 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.

Though it was penned thousands of years ago, the Book of Proverbs offers a wealth of guidance that helps you live well today. It's also a common target for skeptics who claim its contradictory, makes false promises, and is plagiarized from other ancient texts. Jean E. Jones joins the podcast to take these challenges head on and to share what Proverbs says about topics such as money, sexuality, and relationships.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:GOOD RANCHERSGood Ranchers: American Meat Delivered 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.
