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.

The gospel is under attack today--not only from outside cultural forces but also from within the church. In today’s episode, popular YouTuber and Bible teacher Allen Parr helps us to identify and withstand seven of the most common false teachings that undermine the gospel and lead many well-meaning Christians astray. For an anxious and weary world, the gospel of Jesus Christ is the one true source of deep peace and lasting joy. But today, many supposedly Christian teachers are spreading ideas that amount to what Paul called "another gospel." The result? A generation of believers confused about what God really says, what he offers, and what he wants for his children. From the heavy burden of legalism to an overemphasis on prosperity or spiritual gifts to warped understandings of grace, every false teaching has two things in common: they all use half-truths that look and sound biblical (making them very difficult to identify) and they all harm and discourage those who are trying to follow the way of Jesus.------------------------------------------------------------------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.

Pastors, thoughtful Christians, and students of Scripture must learn how to carefully read and understand the Bible, but it can be difficult to know where to start! In this episode, Andreas J. Kostenberger explains how to interpret Scripture from three effective viewpoints: canonical, thematic, and ethical. We discuss how Biblical Theology is arranged book by book from the Old Testament (using the Hebrew order) through the New Testament, and how this differs from systematic theology. ------------------------------------------------------------------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.
