#336 John Cooper Goes Off on Third-Waysim: Is the West Worth Saving?
After the attempted 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 “third-wayism” 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 “neutrality” real? Why does third-wayism always drift left on abortion and justice? How should pastors lead without playing “footsy-cakes” with the culture? Plus: a practical framework for discernment (fear of God over fear of man), why many “normies” 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.

#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 “deconstruct your faith” freshman rhetoric to campus policies that smuggle in progressive ideology on sexuality, identity, and “tolerance.”Alisa also answers a question she’s been getting a lot: Why she can no longer recommend Biola University to Christian parents. She walks through language in Biola’s public statements on sex and gender, concerns about chapel speakers and student life, and why “mission drift” 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 to www.rangeleather.com for more informationUse my code: ALISASEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Go to www.sevenweekscoffee.com for more information.Use my code: ALISAA'DEL NATURAL COSMETICSElevate your skincare routine with A'del's toxin-free cosmetics.

#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: 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, but whose speaker unfortunately aligns with figures like Paula White and Benny Hinn. This tension underscores why discernment must go deeper than personalities and rhetoric—it must be anchored in Scripture.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:A'DEL NATURAL COSMETICSElevate your skincare routine with A'del's toxin-free cosmetics.
