#223 The Imperfect Life of Elisabeth Elliot. What Christians Can Learn, with Ellen Vaughn

Elisabeth Elliot was a young missionary in Ecuador when members of a remote Amazonian indigenous people group killed her husband Jim and his four colleagues. And yet, she stayed in the jungle with her young daughter to minister to the very people who had thrown the spears, demonstrating the power of Christ’s forgiveness.This courageous, no-nonsense Christian went on to write dozens of books, host a long-running radio show, and speak at conferences all over the world. She was a pillar of coherent, committed faith—a beloved and sometimes controversial icon. Author and Elisabeth Elliot biographer Ellen Vaughn joins the podcast to talk about researching Elisabeth’s life and being given access to her personal private journals. Turns out, that while things in the limelight might have looked golden, Elisabeth’s suffering continued refining her in many different and unexpected ways.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:CARLY JEAN LOS ANGELESCarly 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 30% off your first order during November 2023!www.carlyjeanlosangeles.comSEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Use the code, ALISA, to get 10% off any product.www.sevenweekscoffee.comGOOD RANCHERSGood Ranchers: American Meat Delivered Use the code, ALISA, and get $15.00 off your first box!Also Get FREE PROTEIN FOR 1 YEAR!Go to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.SOUTHERN EVANGELICAL SEMINARYSteadfast in the TruthGo to www.ses.edu/alisa for more information about Southern Evangelical Seminary and to download your free eBook. --------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/musicThere you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/alisachildersTo order “Another Gospel”: www.alisachilders.com/anothergospelTo order “Live Your Truth": www.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.

#218 The Enneagram: Harmless Personality Test or New Age Tool? With Alexa Cramer

Today’s episode deals with all things Enneagram. The Enneagram is viewed by many Christians to be a harmless personality test that can help us with our relationships with God and others. But is there more to it? In today’s episode, Alexa Cramer joins the podcast to discuss the origins of the Enneagram, it’s influence in the church, and it’s subtle promotion of the false self/true self identity categories that Enneagram coaches (even the Christian ones) promote. Some Christian coaches try and harmonize the Enneagram with the gospel, but Alexa demonstrates how they are often influenced by the heretical teachings of Richard Rohr. Even if you have already rejected the Enneagram, this episode is jam packed with important info you don’t want to miss!------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by: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 informationCARLY 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!SOUTHERN 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.
