Summary
Alisa Childers is an American singer and songwriter. She’s best known right now for being an Apologist. Prior to becoming known as an Apologist, she was known for being a singer in the all-female Christian band ZOEgirl. She experienced a period of profound doubt about her faith in her mid-thirties. She felt uncertainty and didn’t know where to find answers to her questions, or if answers existed at all. She began to investigate her faith intellectually by taking seminary classes and reading everything she could get her hands on. This began her journey from unreasoned doubt into a vibrant, rational, and informed faith.
She has written a couple books that have been extremely impactful in mine and my family’s life, as well as thousands of others. The first one she wrote was called “Another Gospel” where describes the journey she took over several years as she wrestled with questions that struck at the core of the Christian faith and found the truth. This book is very powerful! Her most recent book,“Live Your Truth & Other Lies,” goes through things we say as Christians that are not true and how that affects our life.
If you want to hear ongoing Bible teaching, if you’re interested in the historicity of the Bible and the doctrines of the Christian faith, listen to her on her podcast “Alisa Childers Podcast.” She’s able to network and interview with many experts in different aspects of the Christian faith. She herself is an expert! I highly recommend following her on any of her platforms.

| 0:00.0 | I think everybody's got a friend that's deconstructed or isn't is deconstructing right now. |
| 0:04.6 | Is there a brief description or brief, I guess, definition as to what that is? |
| 0:09.7 | People are using that word in a lot of different ways, like a spectrum all the way to somebody saying |
| 0:15.4 | that Christians and Christianity is itself a toxic system. |
| 0:19.6 | What I don't want any of our viewers or listeners to think if they're like, well, I'm in deconstruction, |
| 0:24.3 | but they just mean they're trying to make their beliefs more biblical. |
| 0:27.4 | That's a good thing to be doing. |
| 0:29.0 | What you're going to find predominantly are people who believe that Christianity is toxic, |
| 0:33.8 | things like the atoning sacrifice of Jesus, the fact that human beings are sinners, |
| 0:38.4 | the existence of hell, that God will judge. |
| 0:40.8 | These kinds of things are in the mind of the deconstruction community. |
| 0:44.2 | These are toxic beliefs that the church invented to control people with fear. |
| 0:48.7 | Hey everyone, welcome back to the podcast. |
| 0:50.6 | I'm really excited about today's interview with Alisa Childers and I wanted to tell you a little |
| 0:56.0 | bit about her before we jump into it. |
