The Alisa Childers Podcast#352 He Was Ready to Become an Atheist...Then This Happened, with Allen Hainline and Devin SqueriWhen long-buried questions finally surface, faith can feel like it’s hanging by a thread. In this episode, Alisa sits down with Allen Hainline and Devin Squeri to walk gently and honestly through a real crisis of belief. Devon shares how decades of suppressed doubts, scientific objections, and persuasive online voices nearly led him to abandon Christianity, and what happened when he decided to truly investigate instead of walk away. Together they offer compassionate guidance for anyone wrestling with doubt, expose common internet myths, and show how patient discipleship and solid answers can rebuild confidence in the gospel. If yo...
2026-02-011h 04The Alisa Childers Podcast#349 Hidden Sin, Near Divorce, and the Christian Music Machine, with Michael O’BrienToday’s conversation is a candid and at times sobering look inside the contemporary Christian music industry—where calling, platform, pressure, and spiritual warfare often collide. My guest is Michael O’Brien, beloved solo artist from the ’90s and former lead singer of NewSong. Michael opens up about the grueling pace of life on the road, the hidden sins that nearly cost him his marriage, and how the Lord used conviction, repentance, counseling, and a renewed love for Scripture to rebuild what was breaking.We also talk honestly about the “machine” that can form around Chris...

2025-11-201h 23The Alisa Childers Podcast#343 Candace Owens, Discernment, and the Crisis of Critical ThinkingIn this episode of the Alisa Childers Podcast, Alisa tackles the swirling controversy surrounding Candace Owens’ claims about the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the alleged cover-up by TPUSA and others. Rather than chasing every rumor, Alisa walks through how Christians can biblically and rationally discern claims like these—especially when they implicate real people, by name, with no publicly available evidence.Drawing from Scripture (2 Corinthians 10, Ephesians 6, 2 Timothy 3, 2 Thessalonians 2), she explores why truth is not relative, why discernment is central to spiritual warfare, and how conspiracy thinking can slide into slander, character assassination, and even...
2025-11-161h 00The Alisa Childers Podcast#342 Gender Isn't a Spectrum...It's God's Design, with Dr. Jeff Myers & Dr. Kathy KochGender isn’t something we “become,” it’s a good gift from God. In this episode, Alisa talks with Dr. Jeff Meyer (Summit Ministries) and Dr. Kathy Cook (Celebrate Kids) about helping kids understand male and female as part of God’s design, without reducing them to stereotypes. We tackle what today’s teens are really asking (“Is God good?”), how social media fuels confusion, practical ways parents and grandparents can talk with kids at every age, and why saying “no” to social transition can be a life-giving act of love. Jeff and Kathy share conversation starters, red-flag behaviors to watch for, and a...
2025-11-101h 14The Alisa Childers Podcast#339 The Dark Side of Deliverance: Pagan Roots and Spiritual Abuse, with Anna KitkoIn today's conversation, Alisa Childers is joined by Anna Kitko—a researcher and clinical expert on spiritual abuse—to unpack the historical, biblical, and psychological roots of deliverance ministry. Together they explore how many of today’s practices trace back not to Scripture, but to ancient pagan rituals, and how that can lead to deep spiritual and emotional harm for sincere Christians seeking help.Drawing from her research into ancient Akkadian medicine, Second Temple Judaism, and modern charismatic movements, Anna explains that Jesus’ exorcisms were unique precisely because only Yahweh Himself could command evil spirits...
2025-10-301h 06The Alisa Childers Podcast#338 The Discreditation Machine: 6 Manipulative Tactics to Silence Truth, with Megan BashamWhen journalist and author Megan Basham released her book Shepherds for Sale, the evidence she uncovered should have sparked healthy reform and accountability within evangelical institutions. Instead, she watched the entire “Big Evangelical” infrastructure mobilize—using back-room tactics, social pressure, and selective outrage—to discredit her and convince pastors not to read her work.In this deeply revealing conversation, Alisa Childers and Megan expose the six manipulative tactics that often appear when someone dares to speak truth that challenges powerful networks within the church: 1. Prediscreditation – discrediting before you speak. 2. Moralizing dismissal ("Not our thing...

Frank also shares about his brand-new children’s book on responsibility, offering insights into raising the next generation with wisdom and discernment.Finally, Frank opens up about how he’s d...
2025-10-061h 02The Alisa Childers Podcast#333 3rd Wayism vs. NAR: Opposite Errors Threatening the Church, with Jon RootIn this episode, Alisa Childers sits down with Jon Root to examine two opposite but equally dangerous influences in the church today: the “3rd way” 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 both doctrinally grounded and civically engaged—without 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, bu...

I also open up about my ongoing angst regarding worship music and how I experienced the worship at this event.Ultimately, I believe we are witnessing a genuine move of God—a real revival.

2025-09-2445 minThe Alisa Childers Podcast#328 The Holy Spirit Is Not Your Genie: Responding to Jenn Johnson’s Troubling TheologyIn this episode, I am joined by American Gospel director Brandon Kimber to analyze troubling comments made by Jenn Johnson of Bethel Church.Jenn Johnson has described the Holy Spirit as the “blue genie from Aladdin”—and this wasn’t just a one-time slip. We demonstrate how she has repeated this imagery more than once, while also promoting concerning views on the Bible and truth itself. Claiming that Scripture has contradictions, she has taught that truth is relative, like “shades of grey.” Even more troubling, her methodology for knowing God is subjective—teaching that Christians mus...
2025-09-111h 08The Alisa Childers Podcast#327 Can History be Known? Yes. Here's Why it Matters for Christianity, with Brian HufflingIn this episode, Alisa sits down with Dr. Brian Huffling to tackle one of the most common objections in today’s cultural conversations: “That’s just your interpretation.” Together, they explore why history and the meaning of words are not endlessly malleable, but knowable realities. If someone insists that truth claims are only “interpretations,” they expect you to understand their own words as meaningful — and that contradiction matters.Dr. Huffling brings his expertise in philosophy, theology, and apologetics to show why objective meaning is essential for making sense of history, Scripture, and even everyday communication...

One of these lies is the idea that Christians can identify themselves as LGBTQ, even if they don’t engage in sinful behavior.

We also discuss the potential influence of side B thinking in the recent conversations surrounding Alistair Begg’s comments about Christians attending same-sex weddings.
