#384 Does Hierarchy Hurt Marriage? Let's Listen to Sheila Wray Gregoire Together
What happens when popular Christian voices claim that hierarchy is the root cause of harm in marriage, sex, and the church?In this episode, I listen through key clips from a recent Theology Gals interview with Sheila Wray Gregoire and offer a live, real-time response. I examine claims about complementarianism, egalitarianism, purity culture, deconstruction, women's well-being, marriage dynamics, and the future of the church.Rather than simply telling you what to think, I hope to model the process of discernment...evaluating arguments, questioning assumptions, examining methodology, and comparing every claim to Scripture. Along the way, I highlight points of agreement, challenge what I believes are misrepresentations of complementarian theology, and explores how Christians can thoughtfully engage influential voices online.Whether you're wrestling with questions about marriage, church leadership, deconstruction, or how to evaluate the content you consume, this episode offers a practical look at biblical discernment in action.-----------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:WE HEART NUTRITIONFrom Our Family to Yours, Whole Supplements for Every Age and Stage.Go to http://www.weheartnutrition.com for more information.Use my code: ALISAA'DEL NATURAL COSMETICSElevate your skincare routine with A'del's toxin-free cosmetics.

#383 Two Trisomy Moms Respond to a Viral Abortion Story | Carli Smith & Mandi Moseley
When YouTubers Jesse and Ashley Ridgeway announced that they had aborted their baby after receiving a prenatal Down syndrome diagnosis, the story sparked intense online debate. But what if the voices most needed in that conversation were the parents who received similar diagnoses—and chose life?In this episode, Alisa is joined by two mothers whose children were diagnosed with chromosomal abnormalities before birth. Carli's son, Shep, has Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), and Mandi's daughter, Ellie, has Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome), a condition often described by medical professionals as "incompatible with life."Together, they share their deeply personal journeys of receiving devastating prenatal diagnoses, navigating fear and uncertainty, confronting the messages they received from the medical community, and ultimately choosing to welcome their children into the world. They also respond to the Ridgeways' public statements and discuss the broader cultural implications of selective abortion based on disability.This conversation explores suffering, trust in God, the value of every human life, and the unexpected joy that can emerge from circumstances many people are told to fear. Whether you're facing a difficult diagnosis, walking alongside someone who is, or simply seeking to think more deeply about these issues, this episode offers hope, perspective, and encouragement.Mandi's resources: * Instagram & YouTube: @alittleextramomming* Website: extracarecollective.com-----------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Go to http://www.sevenweekscoffee.com/ for more information.Use my code: ALISAA'DEL NATURAL COSMETICSElevate your skincare routine with A'del's toxin-free cosmetics.

#382 When Facts Aren't Enough: Sharing the Gospel with Resistant People | Jason Jimenez
How do you share the gospel with someone who seems to have heard every argument and rejected every answer? What do you do when conversations with a skeptical friend, a deconstructed child, or even a hostile questioner seem to hit a brick wall?In this episode, I sit down with apologist and pastor Jason Jimenez to explore how Christians can engage difficult conversations with wisdom, gentleness, and truth. Drawing from real-life experiences on college campuses, ministry events, and personal relationships, we discuss how to identify the deeper questions beneath people's objections and how to communicate in ways that foster understanding rather than defensiveness.Topics include:Reaching people who seem resistant to the gospelEngaging skeptics with empathy and discernmentPractical insights for conversations with those on the autism spectrumNavigating relationships with deconstructed family membersUnderstanding the difference between sheep and wolvesResponding to hostility without compromising truthWhy character matters as much as content in apologeticsWhether you're trying to reconnect with an estranged adult child, answer a skeptical friend, or simply become a more effective ambassador for Christ, this conversation offers biblical wisdom and practical encouragement for some of life's most challenging conversations.Connect with Jason Jimenez:Stand Strong MinistriesBooks: Hijacking Jesus and Challenging ConversationsResources Mentioned:Another Gospel Student Edition (now available on Audible)Subscribe to The Alisa Childers Podcast and share this episode with someone who wants to communicate truth with both conviction and grace.-----------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:RANGE LEATHERAmerican-Made Craftsmanship from WyomingGo to www.rangeleather.com for more informationUse my code: ALISAWE HEART NUTRITIONFrom Our Family to Yours, Whole Supplements for Every Age and Stage.Go to http://www.weheartnutrition.com for more information.Use my code: ALISAFOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to thinkBiblically in a deceptive world.

#381 What I Actually Said About Sheila Gregoire and Al Mohler: Responding to the Backlash
Did I owe Sheila Gregoire a private conversation before critiquing The Great Sex Rescue? Am I unqualified to review her work because I haven't read other books in the Christian marriage genre? And is it fair to question the methodology behind her research?In this episode, I respond to the most common objections raised after my conversation with Anne Kennedy about The Great Sex Rescue. We'll discuss whether public ideas require public critique, the difference between anecdotal evidence and sound research, and why Scripture, not personal experience, must remain the Christian's ultimate authority.I'll also address the controversy surrounding comments by Al Mohler regarding women on church-sanctioned podcasts. Did he really say women shouldn't have podcasts? Is there a meaningful difference between a woman speaking publicly and a woman functioning in a pastoral role? And am I being inconsistent in the way I apply those principles?These conversations touch on some of the most emotionally charged issues in the church today: sex, marriage, gender roles, authority, discernment, and biblical faithfulness. My goal isn't to win arguments but to model critical thinking, clarify what I actually believe, and encourage Christians to test every claim against the Word of God.Let's sort through the controversy, examine the assumptions, and pursue truth with both conviction and grace.-----------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:GOOD RANCHERSAmerican Meat DeliveredGo to https://go.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.Use my code: ALISASEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Go to http://www.sevenweekscoffee.com/ for more information.Use my code: ALISAA'DEL NATURAL COSMETICSElevate your skincare routine with A'del's toxin-free cosmetics.

#380 The Dark Side of Gentle Parenting: What Viral Influencers Get Wrong | Brett & Erin Kunkle
Gentle parenting is everywhere—but is it biblical?In this episode, I’m joined by Brett and Erin Kunkle of Maven to ask what’s really underneath one of today’s most popular parenting movements. Is gentle parenting just a kinder, more compassionate approach—or is it built on a worldview that quietly redefines sin, authority, discipline, and the role of parents?We talk about the overlap between gentle parenting, progressive theology, critical theory, and expressive individualism. We also ask the big question: Who gets the final word in our homes—God and His Word, or our children and their feelings?Brett and Erin help us break down the assumptions behind the movement, respond to popular gentle parenting videos, and explain why this conversation matters for parents, grandparents, pastors, teachers—and anyone who cares about the next generation.The Truth About Gentle Parenting e-book: https://equip.maventruth.com/gentle-parenting-ebook-----------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:WE HEART NUTRITIONFrom Our Family to Yours, Whole Supplements for Every Age and Stage.Go to http://www.weheartnutrition.com for more information.Use my code: ALISARANGE LEATHERAmerican-Made Craftsmanship from WyomingGo to www.rangeleather.com for more informationUse my code: ALISAA'DEL NATURAL COSMETICSElevate your skincare routine with A'del's toxin-free cosmetics.

#379 Conspiracy Theories, Propaganda, and the Death of Critical Thinking
How do Christians pursue truth without falling into paranoia, manipulation, or online radicalization?In this personal episode, I share the story of how I once got swept into a conspiracy theory during a season of spiritual crisis and explain what eventually changed my mind. I also discuss the recent conspiracy narratives surrounding Charlie Kirk’s murder, Frank Turek, Candace Owens, and the rise of online suspicion culture.I break down the common hallmarks of conspiracy thinking, including unfalsifiable claims, selective evidence, emotional reasoning, insinuation, hidden knowledge, moving goalposts, and the assumption of coordinated secret intent. I also explore how Gnosticism and “secret knowledge” continue to shape modern online culture.Plus:Why smart people fall for conspiracy theoriesHow AI and deepfakes are changing discernmentThe difference between skepticism and cynicismHow social media algorithms reward outrage and certaintyWhat real evidence actually looks likeQuestions Christians should ask before sharing claims onlineThis episode is not about mocking people or blindly trusting institutions. It’s about learning to think critically, pursue truth with humility, and avoid being manipulated by emotionally charged narratives.-----------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:FOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to thinkBiblically in a deceptive world.

#378 Sheila Wray Gregoire's Great Sex Rescue: Real Problems, Wrong Answers? | Anne Kennedy
Sheila Gregoire has become one of the most influential voices in the Christian conversation surrounding sex, marriage, and evangelical culture. But do her conclusions actually stand up to biblical and logical scrutiny? In this episode, I’m joined by Anne Kennedy for a thoughtful review of The Great Sex Rescue and a broader discussion of Sheila’s theology, trajectory, and influence. We discuss where she started, where she has landed, and ask whether her approach is truly rooted in Scripture or shaped more by cultural assumptions and modern psychology.We also examine questions surrounding her research methodology, claims about complementarianism, purity culture, and whether evangelical Christianity is really the source of the problems she identifies. Along the way, we highlight areas where we agree—including concerns about pornography and real struggles many women face in marriage—while also exploring significant concerns about worldview, biblical authority, and the purpose of sex itself.We also open with a conversation about the recent Avalon controversy and why theological precision matters now more than ever.-----------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:GOOD RANCHERSAmerican Meat DeliveredGo to https://go.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.Use my code: ALISAA'DEL NATURAL COSMETICSElevate your skincare routine with A'del's toxin-free cosmetics.

#377 Baylor’s LGBTQ Controversy: Compassion or Compromise?
As Baylor University faces controversy over recent LGBTQ-related campus events and questions about whether Christian institutions are experiencing theological drift, a larger issue emerges beneath the headlines: What is love? Increasingly, Christians are being told that the loving response is affirmation—but does Scripture define love that way? Baylor becomes a case study for a broader conversation affecting churches, schools, families, and individual believers.In this episode, Alisa explores one of the biggest underlying questions shaping the church today: Is love merely acceptance and celebration, or does biblical love sometimes require difficult truths, correction, and courage?-----------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:WE HEART NUTRITIONFrom Our Family to Yours, Whole Supplements for Every Age and Stage.Go to http://www.weheartnutrition.com for more information.Use my code: ALISARANGE LEATHERAmerican-Made Craftsmanship from WyomingGo to www.rangeleather.com for more informationUse my code: ALISAFOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to thinkBiblically in a deceptive world.
