Welcome to the Alisa Childers Podcast. We've got part two of our discussion with Greg

Cocoal about how to navigate difficult conversations, particularly surrounding the issue of progressive Christianity.

So before we get into that, I want to tell you about today's sponsor, which is the Impact 360 Gen Z Lab.

So if you have a heart for young people about 20 years old and younger, if you want to know how to help lead them through the toughest questions they're encountering every day,

then you're going to want to go and check out Gen Z Lab where Impact 360 has gathered thought leaders like Sean McDowell, Jonathan Marrow, Christopher Uon, to help you understand the unique challenges that Gen Z is facing.

It's going to equip you to lead them through this post-Christian culture. So you can go to impact360.org for more information.

There's a lot of cool stuff. It's exclusive content. You'll have access to a Facebook group where you can encourage and be encouraged by like-minded people.

Again, that's impact360.org.

This week, we're continuing our conversation with the president and founder of Stand to Reason Ministries.

Greg Cokal, you can go to str.org to find all kinds of great apologetics resources like blog posts and podcasts and videos.

Just a wonderful resource. But Greg, last week, we had so much fun. We decided we need to keep going. There's just a lot more to talk about, isn't there?

Yeah, my goodness. That time went so fast. And I was having such a good time with you. And I hope the audience was as well. So I'm glad to be back on board.

Well, I have to tell you that this is a really important topic because part of what I do in my work is I'm writing a lot about the what of progressive Christianity.

So I'm talking about how to spot the ideas. What do progressive Christians believe? What unifies them ideologically?

But the one thing I just don't have a lot of time to talk about or I haven't as of yet is how to actually interact with people in your life that are being swept up by these ideas.

Because a lot of times there's philosophical assumptions that are undergirding their views. There are things they don't even realize that they've caught from culture that are informing the way they believe about certain things.

And so that's why I think this is such an important podcast series. And I know that that my my listeners and my new now my video watchers are really excited to learn a little more.

And so we're going to dive in by sort of picking up where we left off last week. And so for anyone who's new this this week, we talked about certain tactics, questions to ask when you're interacting with people you disagree with and more in a more focused way.

We're talking about how to use those tactics with progressive Christians. And so we talked about the Colombo tactic, certain questions we can ask like what do you mean by that?

And how did you come to that conclusion and maybe even taking it a bit further with have you considered and offering an alternate view.
