The Melissa Dougherty Podcast
Melissa Dougherty
You'll find a mixed bag of Jesus, theology, Christian apologetics, and cultural topics from a Christian perspective here. I'm an ex-New Thoughter (with a little Ex New Ager sprinkled in) and a lot of my videos focus on topics related to this as well. My hope is to help Christians thoughtfully know what they believe and why they believe it.

Five Reasons Why You Should Listen to Perspectives You Don't Agree With
This video was originally on YouTube. The audio is extracted for this podcast.Today I break down one of the best posts and advice I've seen in 2020, and in general. Why is it wise to listen to perspectives and beliefs that are different than yours?I hope to elaborate on that.My friend Rob Bowman made this post, and he's one of the most respected men in his field. He's a biblical scholar and apologist with 35 years of ministry experience. He's authored about a dozen books, one of my favorites being, "Putting Jesus in His Place: the Case for the Deity of Christ" which he co-authored with J. Ed Komoszewski. ●Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/●Instagram: @melissaldougherty ●Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77●My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/

Top 5 New Age Teachings in the Church
On my YouTube channel, this has been by far my most popular video, with almost 700,000 views. It's now in podcast form!New Age in the Church?! Yep. It's been going on for quite a while now. In fact, you'd be shocked to know that a lot of Christians believe in many New Age beliefs and don't even know it. I might make a part 2 to this at some point because I realize that there's a LOT of New Age practices out there. But in putting this video together, these are the top 5 deceptions that I kept thinking about that I see the most in churches today: Law of Attraction, Oneness, Religious Pluralism, Universalism, and Mysticism. I talk about what each of these are and how they are so deceptively synced together in many Christian worldviews. ●Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/●Instagram: @melissaldougherty ●Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77●My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/
