Welcome to the Lisa Childers Podcast where we equip Christians to identify the core claims of historic Christianity.

Discern its counterfeits and proclaim the gospel with clarity, kindness and truth.

And I'm so excited to come to you from my sabbatical. I feel so refreshed already.

I'm so, it's just been so great. But I wanted to come to you with a special livestream that I recorded last Monday with my good friend Natasha Crain.

And on this podcast, we promised that we were going to be making two big announcements. And so for my listening audience, I wanted to just give you the two big announcements right off the bat.

And then you can listen to the livestream we recorded last week where we did a fun little segment called Christmas Carons.

And basically Natasha and I text back and forth sometimes because you know when we give our opinions in the public square, sometimes people call us a Karen.

So we just decided to embrace it. We put on Santa hats and we embraced our full Christmas carons and spoke to the manager of many different departments.

So you can tune in for that. We also took live questions and we responded to analyzed and discussed an article and a TikTok video that represent a lot of the ideologies that you are having to face in your social media news feeds.

And in the relationships you have with people in your life. So we're hoping that that will help equip you to have better conversations in your own lives.

So definitely listen to that. But I did want to start by just letting you know what those two big announcements are so that you can be informed.

So the first one is, you know, first of all, many of you are already familiar with Natasha Crain and her ministry. She's been a guest on our podcast.

She has the Natasha Crain podcast and her website is Natasha Crain.com. She's brilliant. She's one of my favorite thinkers, favorite writers.

We're good friends. And a few years ago we started to talk about what it would look like to do an apologetics conference that wasn't too high level intellectual, but also had some really good meat and bones on it in a practical sense to help equip Christians to live their faith boldly in a culture that's becoming increasingly more chaotic.

Have you noticed this culture is getting very chaotic. We're going to be talking about some of that on the Elisa Children's podcast in the new year.

But we talked about what would it look like to equip Christians in a conference type setting with really good apologetics information that's not just over everybody's head.

And so we are launching the Unshaken Conference. And this is going to be hitting four major cities in 2023. And the first one is going to be in January in Dayton, Ohio.

Now you can go to Unshakenconference.com. For more information, you can register for your tickets right now for Dayton, Ohio.

And then in the coming weeks, we're going to be announcing the other cities that we're going to be coming to and the other conferences that we're going to be having throughout the year.

Now hopefully God willing, this will be a yearly conference. And so each year we'll have a different theme. This year's theme is winning the Battle of the Gods.

And the question we're going to be asking is are we going to follow the authority of the voice of God, the revealed word of God, or are we going to follow the millions of people who are following the authority of the Self?
