The Alisa Childers Podcast

Tom Gilson joins me to talk about his book, "Too Good to Be False: How Jesus' Incomparable Character Reveals His Reality." We talk about some insights into the character of Christ and what that can mean for our worship of and obedience to him. 

Our culture has bought into the worldview supporting secular morality. Somehow we have arrived at a cultural moment where people are shouting their abortions and changing their pronouns. But how did we get here? And why does our culture think this is rational? We will talk to Nancy Pearcey (author, Love Thy Body) about how to think about our physical bodies in a biblical way. Alisa Childers co-hosts with Krista.

Costi Hinn joins me for a candid discussion about his upbringing as the nephew of Benny Hinn, and his rejection of the prosperity gospel. He opens up about spiritual abuse, and the failings of the seeker sensitive mega church model. 

Like many of you, I've waited eagerly each week for the new episode of the #1 podcast on the Apple Spirituality and Religion charts, The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. As I've listened, I've learned a lot, and found much of it to be helpful and thought provoking. However, I have a couple of cautions for any Christian who decides to listen to it. Tune in to hear my thoughts!

Elizabeth Urbanowicz of Foundation Worldview joins me to talk about how to help our kids learn the critical thinking skills they will need to properly think through their worldview...even the very claims of Christianity itself.

Thanks for joining us live for a round of "Stump the Professor," as we take your toughest questions about Christianity. Dr. Richard Howe is Provost, Professor of Philosophy and Apologetics, and Norman L. Geisler Chair of Christian Apologetics at Southern Evangelical Seminary in Charlotte, North Carolina. And he just so happens to be one of my favorite teachers. Some of the questions Dr. Howe addressed: Can God change his mind? Can you lose your salvation? Can we be happy in heaven if our loved ones are in hell? Where is Jesus' body right now?

Ken Samples, an expert on St. Augustine and all things Original Sin, joins me to respond to the 5 most significant claims against the doctrine of Original Sin argued by Progressive Christians. Professor Samples will answer the following claims: 1. St. Augustine made up Original Sin to explain his personal sexual hangups. 2. Jesus never heard of Original Sin 3. Original Sin is a Greco-Roman idea imported into Christianity 4. Original Shame/Original Blessing/Original Goodness are better explanations of human sin 5. Inherited sinfulness is not one of the curses on Adam and Eve in Genesis 

Join me, Jeremy and Adrienne Camp, and John and Korey Cooper as we discuss why we are seeing so many highly platformed Christians leaving the faith, and to testify why we still believe. We will take some questions live as well! July 26th, 5pm Pacific/7pm central/8pm eastern.

Dr. JR Miller, a seasoned educator and co-founder of the Center for Cultural Apologetics, dives into the significance of believing in a historical Adam and Eve. He argues that this belief is crucial for understanding human dignity and combating racism. The discussion connects evolutionary theory with issues like eugenics and abortion, emphasizing how biblical teachings can provide a framework for addressing ethical dilemmas. Miller advocates for unity in Christianity by promoting a coherent theology that values all lives as created in the image of God.
