Summary

Why are so many popular figures who claim to be Christians supporting anti-Christian positions and is there anything we can do about it? In this special midweek podcast episode recorded LIVE from CrossExamined Instructor Academy 2025 in Charlotte, NC, Frank sits down with Megan Basham, Alisa Childers, and Natasha Crain to discuss some of the popular secular ideas that plague the modern Church and answer questions like:* Does calling out sin and false teachers cause division in the Church?* What are four secular beliefs that promote the authority of self vs. the authority of God?* What are some incentives for going along with the flow instead of standing up for biblical truth?* Why are truth claims seen as power grabs for those who push back against biblical Christianity?* What does sourdough baking have to do with deceptive ideas?* Why is it important to get uncomfortably specific when it comes to calling out false teachers and their ideas?* What are some good resources for both adults and kids who want to embolden their Christian faith?* Are we on the verge of another great awakening or revival in the Church?Be sure to check out some of the valuable resources for both kids and adults that were mentioned during the episode in the list below, and stay tuned for more podcast episodes recorded from CIA 2025!Resources mentioned during the episode:Fearless Faith Self-Paced Online Course - https://bit.ly/4kmld3g (https://bit.ly/4kmld3g)Train Your Brain (online logic course for kids & adults) - https://bit.ly/4lMq6ni (https://bit.ly/4lMq6ni)Shepherds for Sale by Megan Basham - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0063413442 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0063413442)World Watch News - https://worldwatch.news/ (https://worldwatch.news/)Natasha's books - https://natashacrain.com/books/ (https://natashacrain.com/books/)Alisa's books -https://alisachilders.com/ (https://alisachilders.com/)
