The Melissa Dougherty Podcast

The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a popular and fast-growing new movement of Christians who emphasize signs and wonders and teach that God is giving a new revelation through new apostles and prophets. But is this biblical Christianity? This stuff used to be fringe. Now it's probably in your church in some way. Why is this dangerous, and how can you spot it? I talk with Holly Pivec and Doug Geivett, the authors of Counterfeit Kingdom, about this concerning movement. 📚RESOURCES📚:●https://www.amazon.com/shop/melissadougherty●Holly's Blog: https://www.hollypivec.com/blog●Get Counterfeit Kingdom: https://www.hollypivec.com/books📲FOLLOW📲:●Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/●Instagram: @melissaldougherty ●Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77●My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/●Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/●Instagram: @melissaldougherty ●Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77●My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/

This is the story of Becket Cook. He was a gay man in Hollywood who had quite a successful career. He gave up everything to follow Jesus. It all started with a fateful event in a coffee shop... In this video, we discuss how this happened and how he overcame common objections to what the Bible says about homosexuality. We also discuss Christians going to gay weddings, Progressive Christianity's unbiblical (and unhelpful) stance on this topic, do's and don'ts when someone comes out, and much more. Our goal is to talk about these topics in a loving but firm way in a culture that is hostile to a Biblical perspective on sexuality. RESOURCES:https://www.amazon.com/shop/melissadoughertyDONATE:If you are led, consider donating:https://paypal.me/MelissaDougherty77FOLLOW:Becket Cook:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BecketCook/aboutInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/becketcook/Twitter: https://twitter.com/becketcookMelissa:My Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/Instagram: @melissaldougherty Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/●Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/●Instagram: @melissaldougherty ●Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77●My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/

Monique Duson, who spent two decades advocating for Critical Race Theory and is the founder of the Center for Biblical Unity, joins me to discuss BLM, microaggressions, marxism, equity, inclusion, and MUCH more. Monique breaks down the movements we're seeing in social justice, and she explains how it differs from the Gospel. We both see that racism is a serious issue. But CRT is *not* the answer. You can't become a gaslighting racist to get rid of racism. This isn't about politics. It's about what Biblical justice and unity look like in the eyes of God. Hope you have your popcorn. We don't hold back. WATCH:About Microagressions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtVX6dKoyoAMonique's Interview with Alisa Childers: https://youtu.be/FwyJk1G_Dm0Monique with Allie Beth Stuckey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMgjppPZqvA&t=1845sRESOURCES:Small Group Curriculum: https://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/reconciledMonique's Podcasts (as mentioned in the video:) https://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/podcastsFOLLOW:Monique-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/centerforbiblicalunity/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/centerforbiblicalunityYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheRealMoniqueDWebsite: https://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/Melissa-Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/Instagram: @melissaldougherty Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/●Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/●Instagram: @melissaldougherty ●Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77●My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/

The New World Translation made by the Jehovah's Witness religion is one of the most distorted translations I've ever seen. It's made by Jehovah's Witnesses for Jehovah's Witness theology. This means there have been a LOT of changes made to it to fit their beliefs. But even then, is it possible to use it to show them the Gospel and even show them that Jesus is Jehovah God, one of the most repulsive doctrines by the religion? My guest Vada Hedgeman, a former gang member now turned apologist, has a very creative strategy for doing just that. Join us and see how using their own publications is one of the best ways to get through to them. FOLLOW:Vada's Social Media-YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/IsHeARealOneVadaRealMCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/vadarealmc/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VadaRealMCMy Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/Instagram: @melissaldougherty Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/If led, support the channel!

Elizabeth Urbanowicz, founder of Foundation Worldview, discusses the importance of teaching kids critical thinking and truth in a world filled with cultural influences. She shares insights on her Comparative Worldview Curriculum for kids and teens, emphasizing the need to equip children with transferable critical thinking skills to navigate today's information overload.

The type of feminism I see today is toxic, loud, and entitled. There's a way to right wrongs, and this is not it. I share my straightforward thoughts about how modern-day woke feminism has overcorrected its cause and now has become a cesspool of hatred, bitterness, and anger that has caused immeasurable damage to all future generations of women. Yes, I'm aware of our cultural climate right now and I know there will be people that will brazenly disagree with me on this and yes, I kinda go a little Ted Talk about this topic. But these topics are important and need to be discussed openly and freely. I welcome *respectful* divergent dialogue in the comments. melissadougherty.co●Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/●Instagram: @melissaldougherty ●Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77●My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/

*This is audio extracted from my YouTube video from January 2022 converted here in podcast land for your listening pleasure.*..What in the crazy is happening in the world? The pressure Christians are under to buckle and give in to this ever-growing secular culture is unlike what we've seen in most of our lifetimes. How can we navigate through the cultural mess when there are so many loud voices in our faces pressuring us to compromise our values and God, and if we don't, then we're seen as bigoted, hateful, and close-minded? (Not to mention it's ten times harder to know we've even been seduced when most Christians don't read or study their Bibles.) We're ridiculed for standing for truth that corresponds to reality. Christians are accused of having the worst possible motives when we simply believe that there's a reason to live for truth, justice, and love from a Biblical perspective. How can we remain faithful in a culture that is becoming more and more aggressively hostile to the Christian faith? Here is one lifeline: This book.There are a few books on my shelf that are marked up and tabbed. I refer to these books often. This is one of them. This is one of the best books I've read about this topic, and possibly Natasha's best book she's written yet. (Which is saying something!) Reading Natasha's book was refreshing, thought-provoking and encouraging. ●Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/●Instagram: @melissaldougherty ●Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77●My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/

Did Jesus actually perform miracles and did the Bible record it correctly? Was He just a magician? What about Jesus' claims to be God? Who was He praying to in the garden? What about the resurrection? Did Jesus actually rise again or are there other explanations for what happened? How Can we know for sure? I interviewed my friend Dr. Mikel Del Rosario, about these topics... who's much smarter than me. He's also known as the 'Apologetics Guy' on social media. Mikel's Website: http://apologeticsguy.com/My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/●Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/●Instagram: @melissaldougherty ●Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77●My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/

*This is audio extracted from my YouTube video from June 2021 converted here in podcast land for your listening pleasure.*..Is there a better way to talk to and treat those you disagree with? Does loving others with who we vastly disagree mean we have to sacrifice our theology (and humanity) to do it? Where do we draw the line? Does the topic of Calvinism, atheism, politics, LGBTQ+, or other contentious topics deeply anger you to the point of being aggressive and reactively lashing out about it? How can we act more Christlike instead of looking like angry politicians in disagreement? I asked Dr. Sean McDowell on to talk about how we can accomplish this as well as asking his advice on how we can have real Biblical unity without compromising.Sean's YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/c/SeanMcDowell-infoSean's books:https://seanmcdowell.org/booksSean's website:https://seanmcdowell.org/Sean's Interviews/videos with Drew, the Genetically Modified Skeptic:1- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJX28l54YxE&t=0s2- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_-L4i5gL1kMy Website:https://www.melissadougherty.co/My Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/Instagram: @melissaldougherty●Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/●Instagram: @melissaldougherty ●Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77●My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/
