Summary

During my Sabbatical, I wanted to post some short podcasts that only reached a limited number of people several years ago. They are short answers to tough apologetics and theological questions. There are 30 in total that we will be releasing every day. I hope you enjoy.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Elisa Childers podcast where we equip Christians to identify the core beliefs of historic Christianity,
0:06.4	discern its counterfeits and proclaim the gospel with clarity, kindness and truth and we are going to continue to do that even while I'm on sabbatical and not

1:38.0	Back then I had never heard of progressive Christianity,
1:40.9	and even now it is difficult to pin down what actually qualifies someone as a
