#337 Dominionism, Third-Way, and the Christian Right: A Friendly Debate, with Jesse Westwood
Is deeper political engagement faithfulnessāor a fast track to compromise? In this candid conversation, Alisa and Jesse Westwood (Faith Reframed) wrestle with Christian political involvement in the wake of recent events, the rise of Christian nationalism, and the stealthy influence of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR).From Jesseās Anabaptist ātwo-kingdomā convictions to Alisaās case for principled engagement, youāll hear vigorous disagreementāand real agreementāon essentials: the sufficiency of Scripture, the danger of dominionism (NARās āSeven Mountain Mandateā), and why bad theology hurts people. They also distinguish classic postmillennialism from dominionist projects, talk early-church witness, co-belligerence, and why placing political victory over biblical doctrine is a dead end.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:FOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to thinkBiblically in a deceptive world.Ā Ā Go to www.foundationworldview.com for more information!Ā Use my code: ALISAGOOD RANCHERSAmerican Meat DeliveredGo to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.Back to the Table: https://pitch.com/v/back-to-the-table-for-partners-t346ujĀ Use my code: ALISA--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, āBeauty from the Ashā, go to www.alisachilders.com/musicThere you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon:Ā www.patreon.com/alisachildersTo order āAnother Gospelā:Ā www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/To order āLive Your Truth":Ā www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/To order āThe Deconstruction of Christianityā: 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.

#336 John Cooper Goes Off on Third-Waysim: Is the West Worth Saving?
After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a lot of masks slipped. In this no-fluff conversation, Alisa sits down with John Cooper (Skillet) to unpack why so many Christian leaders waffle, what āthird-wayismā really is, and how subtle, academic-sounding concepts like standpoint epistemology are eroding biblical authority and Western civilization itself.They trace the ideas, test them against Scripture, and tackle hard questions: Is āneutralityā real? Why does third-wayism always drift left on abortion and justice? How should pastors lead without playing āfootsy-cakesā with the culture? Plus: a practical framework for discernment (fear of God over fear of man), why many ānormiesā are done outsourcing their thinking to evangelical elites, and a hopeful look at what God is doing in this cultural moment.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:SEVEN 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.Ā Go to www.foundationworldview.com for more information!Ā Use my code: ALISA--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, āBeauty from the Ashā, go to www.alisachilders.com/musicThere you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon:Ā www.patreon.com/alisachildersTo order āAnother Gospelā:Ā www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/To order āLive Your Truth":Ā www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/To order āThe Deconstruction of Christianityā: 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.

#335 The Progressive Poison Spreading Through Christian Colleges, with Dr. Everett Piper
Are Christian colleges quietly leading the church into deconstruction? In this hard-hitting episode, Alisa sits down with Dr. Everett Piper, former president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University and host of The Rebellion, to unpack how small compromises in the academy become cultural contagions in the church. Piper traces the pipeline from CCCU ādeconstruct your faithā freshman rhetoric to campus policies that smuggle in progressive ideology on sexuality, identity, and ātolerance.āAlisa also answers a question sheās been getting a lot: Why she can no longer recommend Biola University to Christian parents. She walks through language in Biolaās public statements on sex and gender, concerns about chapel speakers and student life, and why āmission driftā accelerates unless leaders act decisively.Alisa's Facebook post: https://www.facebook.com/alisachilders/posts/pfbid02BffVppz8p5eXRtanzh14eapDQwHrSpzyjcM2fzdhWDs6V4jT5d6qHLmKArksZsE1lBiola's statement: https://t.co/l622vbxWLiRich Villodas statement: A Pastoral Word to New Life Fellowship Church re: Charlie Kirk - By Rich Villodas------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:RANGE LEATHERAmerican-Made Craftsmanship from WyomingGo toĀ www.rangeleather.comĀ for more informationUse my code: ALISASEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Go toĀ www.sevenweekscoffee.comĀ for more information.Use my code: ALISAA'DEL NATURAL COSMETICSElevate your skincare routine with A'del's toxin-free cosmetics.Ā Experience the difference in quality and purity.Ā Go toĀ www.adelnaturalcosmetics.comĀ for more information.Ā Use my code: ALISAĀ --------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, āBeauty from the Ashā, go toĀ www.alisachilders.com/musicThere you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon:Ā Ā www.patreon.com/alisachildersTo order āAnother Gospelā:Ā Ā www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/To order āLive Your Truth":Ā Ā www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/To order āThe Deconstruction of Christianityā:Ā https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/For Alisa's Merch:Ā https://alisachilders.creator-spring.comTo see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachildersPotential Sponsors:Ā https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.

#333 3rd Wayism vs. NAR: Opposite Errors Threatening the Church, with Jon Root
In this episode, Alisa Childers sits down with Jon Root to examine two opposite but equally dangerous influences in the church today:Ā the ā3rd wayā approach that seeks to keep Christians silent on politics, and the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) with its unbiblical approach to political domination.Together, we explore why Christians must remain bothĀ doctrinally groundedĀ andĀ civically engagedāwithout allowing politics to overshadow the gospel. The conversation highlights how deceptions today are becoming increasingly sophisticated, requiring deep biblical discernment.We also interact with a popular podcast that rightly exposed the dangers of 3rd wayism, but whose speaker unfortunately aligns with figures like Paula White and Benny Hinn. This tension underscores why discernment must go deeper than personalities and rhetoricāit must be anchored in Scripture.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:A'DEL NATURAL COSMETICSElevate your skincare routine with A'del's toxin-free cosmetics.Ā Experience the difference in quality and purity.Ā Go to www.adelnaturalcosmetics.com for more information.Ā Use my code: ALISAĀ GOOD RANCHERSAmerican Meat DeliveredGo to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.Back to the Table: https://pitch.com/v/back-to-the-table-for-partners-t346ujĀ Use my code: ALISAFOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to thinkBiblically in a deceptive world.Ā Go to www.foundationworldview.com for more information!Ā Use my code: ALISA--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, āBeauty from the Ashā, go to www.alisachilders.com/musicThere you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon:Ā www.patreon.com/alisachildersTo order āAnother Gospelā:Ā www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/To order āLive Your Truth":Ā www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/To order āThe Deconstruction of Christianityā: 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.
