Summary

We’ve all seen the memes that populate the internet: "live your truth", "follow your heart", and "authenticity is everything". Sounds great, right?! Many come from mainstream authors and influencers with millions of followers. But what if these slogans are really just deceptions that unhinge us from reality and lead to our spiritual decline? In this episode, the one and only Alisa Childers joins Frank to discuss her brand new book, Live Your Truth and Other Lies: Exposing Popular Deceptions That Make Us Anxious, Exhausted, and Self-Obsessed. In it, Alisa delivers an apologetic response to mainstream Progressive Christianity and the self-help industry, explaining that being the captain of our own destiny is a huge burden that we were never meant to bear because real freedom can only be found by choosing to live GOD'S TRUTH, not our own! You'll also hear about Alisa's life-changing experience visiting a women's prison in Ecuador and a special offer just for our listeners if you order the book!
