#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.

#375 Deconstruction: Proof They Were Never Saved? | Answering Your Hardest Questions
How do you know when a church has abandoned biblical truth? Can Christians practice discernment without becoming cynical? Why are so many young people deconstructing their faith? And can AI ever develop true discernment?In this candid Q&A episode, Alisa tackles some of the biggest questions Christians are wrestling with right now — progressive Christianity, deconstruction, parenting in a hostile culture, false teaching, salvation, political division, and the growing confusion around truth itself.Alisa explains why truth is not subjective, why discernment is a biblical command (not an optional spiritual gift), and why Christians must stop outsourcing their thinking to influencers, platforms, and emotional claims. She also shares practical wisdom for handling difficult conversations, responding to skeptical questions, and raising kids without fear in a culture designed to undermine faith.-----------------------------------------------------------------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.
