Summary
Progressive teachers and churches now offer a version of Jesus that emphasizes friendliness, acceptance, and tolerance—a version that many Christians are falling for. They don’t realize that they’ve been sold a fairy tale that is historically and biblically indefensible. Jason Jimenez joins the podcast today to talk about how progressive teachers are Hijacking Jesus and denying core historic truths about who he is. In this episode, we talk through the progressive teachings of Jesus’ deity and humanity, his virgin birth, his miracles, his atoning sacrifice, his resurrection, and his second coming. Then we compare those teachings to historic doctrines of the Christian faith to equip you to understand and answer the progressive vision of Jesus.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Alisa Childers Podcast, where we equip Christians to identify the core beliefs |
| 0:13.6 | of historic Christianity, discern its counterfeits, and proclaim the gospel with clarity, kindness, |
| 0:19.2 | and truth. |
| 0:20.2 | And boy, do we have a jam-packed episode for you today. |
| 0:22.7 | I'm really excited about a new book that's coming out by Jason Yemenis called High Jacking |
| 0:27.3 | Jesus. |
| 0:28.3 | It is a book written from a historically Christian perspective about progressive Christianity. |
| 0:33.0 | And what I love about this book, I've already had a chance to read it and endorse it, is |
| 0:37.2 | that it's taking a very systematic approach to the theology of progressive Christians. |
| 0:41.4 | And so it's author Jason Yemenis joined me today. |
| 0:44.1 | We just got off the call. |

| 0:54.4 | And I love the way this is organized, because in progressive Christianity, if you're going |
| 0:59.0 | to deny the atonement, the virgin birth, the deity of Jesus, the resurrection, his second |
| 1:04.2 | coming, whether these denials are implicit or explicit, you're left with a void. |
| 1:09.0 | You have to come up with a Jesus that's going to fit in a certain mold. |
| 1:12.0 | So there's the woke Jesus that we talked about with Jason. |
| 1:15.9 | There's the Jewish mystic Jesus, which I really thought was really fascinating, which |
| 1:21.0 | Jason was talking about, the Jewish mystic Jesus. |
| 1:23.2 | And then the insurrectionist or revolutionary Jesus, that often, there's even overlap |
