| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Alisa Childers Podcast, where we equip Christians to identify the core beliefs |
| 0:13.7 | of historic Christianity, discern its counterfeits, and proclaim the gospel with clarity, kindness |
| 0:18.8 | and truth. |
| 0:19.8 | And we have a bit of an unusual episode today. |
