The Alisa Childers Podcast

In today's podcast, I offer some commentary about the recent discussion on YouTube between Sean McDowell and Preston Sprinkle. I thought Sean did a great job asking the right questions and pushing back in the right places, but thought I'd offer some additional commentary regarding the blurry language that is often used in "Side B Christianity."

Social and Emotional Learning is a widespread process that’s implemented in public schools, and in many Christian schools. It’s a positive-sounding phrase that describes a process that claims to help people develop healthy identities, manage their emotions, establish supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions. That all sounds great, but in today’s episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz joins the podcast to shine light on the dark side of this seemingly neutral tool that employs the categories of critical theory and ultimately undermine the truth of God’s Word.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:A'DEL NATURAL COSMETICSA family run business providing clean, high-end, natural, handcrafted, toxin free cosmetics.Go to www.adelnaturalcosmetics.com for more information.Use my code: ALISAGOOD RANCHERSGood Meat DeliveredGo to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.Use my code: ALISASEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Go to www.sevenweekscoffee.com for more information.Use my code: ALISAFOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to thinkBiblically in a deceptive world. Go to www.foundationworldview.com for more information! Use my code: ALISA--------------------------------------------------------------------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/another-gospel/To order “Live Your Truth":  www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/To order “The Deconstruction of Christianity”: https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.comTo 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.

Melissa Dougherty joins the show to talk about how a widely practiced but little known movement called "New Thought" has influenced everything from the Word of Faith Movement to the Seeker Sensitive Movement to the Self-Help Industry to Progressive Christianity. Melissa spent years ascribing to various New Thought beliefs and practices such as positive affirmations, the power of positive thinking, manifesting, Christ consciousness, visualization, and believing that the vibrations and frequencies of your mind affect your reality. All the while she thought she was practicing Christianity. In today's episode, she lifts the lid off of what New Thought teaches, and traces the dark history of its influence over everyday Christians. ------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:GOOD RANCHERSGood Meat DeliveredGo to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.Use my code: ALISASEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Go to www.sevenweekscoffee.com for more information.Use my code: ALISAFOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to thinkBiblically in a deceptive world. Go to www.foundationworldview.com for more information! Use my code: ALISAA'DEL NATURAL COSMETICSA family run business providing clean, high-end, natural, handcrafted, toxin free cosmetics.Go to www.adelnaturalcosmetics.com for more information.Use my code: ALISA--------------------------------------------------------------------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/another-gospel/To order “Live Your Truth":  www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/To order “The Deconstruction of Christianity”: https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.comTo 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.

Join me LIVE for the first podcast of 2025 where I will unpack the top 7 unbiblical teachings that I see influencing the Evangelical church. Discerning the times can be difficult given the many deceptions and errors that are proliferating in books, podcasts, and social media. Many of these errors are quite subtle, but thankfully, God has given us His Word to help guide us through! Let’s go to Scripture together as we discuss some of these ideas and apply common sense, reason, and biblical truth. Let’s come together to “demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” Plus I’ll be taking your questions live!CFBU Post: https://www.facebook.com/centerforbiblicalunity/posts/pfbid022LGGGUpg1VrcGTFq4EaAXTpwjxAxwFVYEhnzZhiAXZJkott7ojRSCLZw6t2gSHwrl
