The Alisa Childers Podcast

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.

Jac Marino tells her story of being seduced into the occult, initiated into the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and ultimately saved by Jesus out of witchcraft. Watch her powerful story...

What is the biblical model for racial reconciliation? Monique Duson of the Center for Biblical Unity joins me to tackle this topic, and to share what it's like being a black woman going against the cultural narrative on race.

Pastor Edwin Ramirez joins me today to talk about how he bought into woke Christianity, and how it affected his ministry and family. He tells the story of God walking him out of the social justice gospel and into the true gospel. 

Podcast mashup! John Cooper from the band Skillet joins me for this special bonus episode to talk about purity culture, and the recent backlash against Matthew West over his song called, "Modest is Hottest."

It's no secret that many colleges and universities can actively undermine the Christian beliefs of students. Some professors even admit that this is their goal. How can Christians students think critically about the ideas they will encounter when they go off to college? Dr. Michael Kruger joins me on the podcast to talk about how he survived college with his faith intact, despite having the famous skeptic Dr. Bart Ehrman as a professor.
