#193 How Cultural Confusion About Our Bodies Has Led to Moral Chaos, with Nancy Pearcey
Nancy Pearcey joins the show LIVE to talk about how important it is for Christians to have a biblical understanding of the body. As humans, we are a unity of body and soul and when we get that wrong, we degrade the body which leads to all manner of moral confusion.

#192 Escaping Legalism and Cult-like Teachings, with Jinger Duggar Vuolo
Jinger Duggar Vuolo grew up in the spotlight on the popular television show, "19 Kids and Counting." As she grew into adulthood, she began to question the strict, legalistic, and cult-like teachings of Bill Gothard in which her family was steeped. Instead of deconstructing her faith, Jinger took the difficult path of untangling truth from false teaching, and faith from fear. She joins the podcast to share her story and some encouraging advice for others who might be questioning and recovering from false and harmful teachings. Melissa Dougherty joins as co-host!------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:GOOD RANCHERSGood Ranchers: American Meat DeliveredSubscribe in March 2023 and get FREE BACON for a YEAR!Also use the code, ALISA, and get $20.00 off your first box!Go to goodranchers.com/alisa for more informationIMPACT 360 INSTITUTECultivating Leaders Who Follow JesusDo you know a next-generation leader, who has incredible influence potential and wants to grow in their faith?

#190 Is Biblical Faith a Blind Leap in the Dark? with Shane Rosenthal
Faith is one of the most misunderstood concepts in Christianity. Some think it's a blind leap in the dark with no evidence to back it up. Others think it's a force you wield in order to manifest certain realities. Still others think it's the opposite of doubt, and something that only exists with absolute certainty. The "Humble Skeptic" Shane Rosenthal joins the podcast to bust some myths about faith! Check out Shane's free resource, "What is Faith?"

#189 Let's Talk About Jesus Revolution
Many of you have asked my opinion about the popular movie, Jesus Revolution. In today’s episode, I will broadcast live with my honest review. I’ll share some things I loved, some things I wished would have been different, and one thing I hated about the film. I will also play a conversation I recorded with my Dad earlier this week where I ask him what he thought. Since the film is about the time and place in which he got saved, and an actor even plays him in the movie, I thought it would be fun to ask him what he thought they got right, and what was added for artistic license. Then I’ll come back live to take any questions you might have!

#186 Further Reflections on Asbury
By now, it seems everyone is talking about what is happening at Asbury University. Some are asking, “Is this a real revival or a counterfeit one?” Others are asking, “Is this the Spirit or just emotionalism?” Today’s episode is the audio from a livestream I did on Instagram in which I offer what I think is a better question. I also took some questions live, and interacted with some criticism of my position.

#185 I Went to the Asbury Revival and Here’s What I Saw
On Feb. 8th, 2023, students of Asbury University in Kentucky gathered for their Wednesday chapel service. At the end of the service, the altar was flooded with over 100 students and the service has continued without concluding for days. Since Wednesday, people have come from all over the country to observe and even participate in what is gong on at Asbury. This has gone viral on social media with many people affirming that it’s a revival, testifying from personal experience that it’s genuine, legitimate, and from God. Others are skeptical saying that it’s experience-driven emotionalism. I was able to attend the service around 8am on Sunday morning, and I went away with some positive takeaways but also some serious concerns.
