  • #351 Repentance or Damage Control? Testing Bethel Against the Scripture

    #351 Repentance or Damage Control? Testing Bethel Against the Scripture
    2026/01/29

    Was that biblical repentance...or something else?

    In this episode, I take a hard look at the recent controversy surrounding Bethel Church and the public response from its leaders, including Kris Vallotton and Bill Johnson, following the exposure of false prophecy and abuse connected to Shawn Bolz. Many Christians celebrated what they called repentance. Others weren’t so sure.

    Instead of reacting emotionally or choosing sides online, we’re going to Scripture. What does the Bible actually say repentance looks like? How do we tell the difference between godly sorrow and regret over being exposed? And does public confession automatically mean restoration to leadership?

  • #350 The War on Western Civilization, with John Stonestreet

    #350 The War on Western Civilization, with John Stonestreet
    2026/01/18

    Today I’m joined by John Stonestreet from the Colson Center for a conversation about what’s happening to the West—and why so much of our cultural confusion suddenly seems to “make sense” once you understand the deeper worldview battle underneath it.

    We talk about why civilizations are built around shared principles, and what happens when a society tries to keep the “fruit” of those principles—human rights, equality, dignity, freedom—while severing the roots that made them possible. John explains why the chaos and strange alliances we’ve seen in recent years aren’t random, but often share a common goal: undermining Western civilization itself.

    John offers practical guidance for living faithfully in a hostile culture: refusing to repeat what isn’t true, being willing to have hard conversations, trusting God with outcomes, and asking four questions in your own sphere of influence: What’s good to protect? What’s evil to oppose? What’s broken to restore? What’s missing to contribute?

  • #349 Hidden Sin, Near Divorce, and the Christian Music Machine, with Michael O’Brien

    #349 Hidden Sin, Near Divorce, and the Christian Music Machine, with Michael O’Brien
    2026/01/11

    Today’s conversation is a candid and at times sobering look inside the contemporary Christian music industry—where calling, platform, pressure, and spiritual warfare often collide. My guest is Michael O’Brien, beloved solo artist from the ’90s and former lead singer of NewSong. Michael opens up about the grueling pace of life on the road, the hidden sins that nearly cost him his marriage, and how the Lord used conviction, repentance, counseling, and a renewed love for Scripture to rebuild what was breaking.

    We also talk honestly about the “machine” that can form around Christian celebrity, how easy it is for sin to stay buried in public ministry, and why true reform in the Christian music world won’t come through branding—but through humility, servant leadership, and gospel purity. Along the way, we discuss the current cultural moment, the renewed interest in church and Christianity, and why discernment is more important than ever—especially for brand-new believers who are hungry, hopeful, and vulnerable to bad theology.

  • #348 When “Better” Isn’t Biblical: Rethinking Progressive Bible Interpretations

    #348 When “Better” Isn’t Biblical: Rethinking Progressive Bible Interpretations
    2026/01/02

    This is the first episode of the New Year, and I'm starting with a deep dive into how progressive Christianity approaches the Bible.

    In this episode, Natasha Crain and I walk through Better Ways to Read the Bible by progressive Christian pastor Zach Lambert, using it as a case study to examine common progressive claims about Scripture. Lambert argues that the Bible is often read through “harmful lenses” and should instead be read through new “healing” ones. While we agree that the Bible has been misused in real and damaging ways, we explain why his proposed solutions create more confusion than clarity.

    We discuss the critical difference between:

    • The nature of Scripture (inspiration, inerrancy, authority)
    • The interpretation of Scripture (how we determine meaning)

    Along the way, we address:

    • Why “literalism” is often misrepresented in progressive theology
    • How progressive Christianity reframes hell, sin, and judgment
    • Moralism vs. legalism—and what Scripture actually teaches about grace
    • Liberation theology, critical theory, and power-based readings of the Bible
    • The misuse of “fruit” language to justify affirming what Scripture calls sin
    • Why progressive Christians still identify as Christian—and why sincerity is not the same as truth

    This conversation is not about motives or tone. It’s about theology, presuppositions, and whether the progressive framework is consistent with the historic Christian faith.

    We’re starting the year by going back to first principles: what the Bible is, how it should be read, and why those questions matter.

  • #347 The Zoegirl Reunion Fans Have Waited For (25 Years Later!)

    #347 The Zoegirl Reunion Fans Have Waited For (25 Years Later!)
    2025/12/07
    In this very special episode, I’m reunited with my ZOEgirl bandmates, Kristin Schweain and Chrissy Katina, to celebrate 25 years since our very first self-titled album released back in 2000. If you remember us as the “Christian Spice Girls” for tween girls, this one is for you! And even if you’ve never heard our music, I think you’ll be encouraged by three former CCM artists who are still walking with Jesus in an age of deconstruction.We share big news: ZOEgirl has written and recorded a brand-new song that will release in January, in honor of our 25-year anniversary. We talk about what it was like to re-enter the studio together after all these years, and we give life updates on what’s happened since we came off the road around 2008—family, ministry, photography, worship leading, and more.We also get honest about the darker side of the Christian music industry—the body-image pressures, the pull toward “mainstream-friendly” lyrics, and what it was like to watch so many fellow artists deconstruct or walk away from the faith. Kristin shares the powerful pro-life story of her son Callum’s high-risk pregnancy and the pressure she faced to abort. Chrissy talks about years-long health struggles, losing her voice, and what God taught her in a long season of “just listening.”Finally, all three of us answer a simple but profound question: “Why do you still believe?” We talk about sin, grace, the reliability of the gospel, and why Christianity isn’t just comforting...it’s true. If you grew up on ZOEgirl, or if you’re trying to stand firm in your faith in a culture that’s increasingly hostile to biblical Christianity, this episode is for you.Stay connected with ZOEgirl:Follow us on Instagram: @zoegirlmusicofficialFind us on Facebook under ZOEgirl Music OfficialJoin us on our 2026 cruise (Oct 3–8) – details and registration at https://thekatinas.com/pages/the-kati...------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Save up to 25% with promo code 'ALISA' & get up to four FREE gifts this Christmas season: http://www.sevenweekscoffee.com/Use my code: ALISAFOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to thinkBiblically in a deceptive world.

  • #346 You're Not a Victim of Motherhood: Pushing Back on Victimhood Culture, with Abbie Halberstadt

    #346 You're Not a Victim of Motherhood: Pushing Back on Victimhood Culture, with Abbie Halberstadt
    2025/11/30

    When motherhood feels more like a thousand little deaths to self than the glossy highlight reel on Instagram, is it really worth it?

    In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Abby Halberstadt, better known as M is for Mama, to talk about her new book, You Bet Your Stretch Marks: Finding Beauty and Worth in the Ways Motherhood Marks Our Bodies and Souls. Abby is a mom of 10, a fitness instructor, and a deeply theologically grounded voice speaking into the chaos of modern motherhood. Together we tackle comparison, cultural backlash, “honest motherhood,” and what it really means to live as a faithful, joyful mom in a world that often treats children like a burden instead of a blessing.

    We talk about:

    Why our “marks” (stretch marks, scars, sleepless nights, and hidden sacrifices) can be beautiful testimonies of love, not flaws to hide

    How to push back against a culture that normalizes complaining, victimhood, and joking about hating motherhood

    The difference between rejoicing in all things and enjoying all things

    How our words, attitudes, and even facial expressions shape the spiritual atmosphere of our homes

    Comparison, social media, and what to do when people accuse you of being “fake,” “toxic positive,” or “doing it for the ’gram”

    Training our kids with a long view of legacy parenting—seeing everyday faithfulness as an investment in generations we may never meet

    Why obedience to Christ in the hidden, thankless moments is always worth it, even when our feelings lag behind our theology

    Abby also shares personal stories of suffering, health struggles, miscarriages, and how God’s kindness and sovereignty sustained her through it all. If you’re a mom who’s tired, discouraged, or tempted to believe the lie that you’re “not enough,” this conversation is for you.

    ???? Resources mentioned:

    Abby’s book: You Bet Your Stretch Marks: Finding Beauty and Worth in the Ways Motherhood Marks Our Bodies and Souls

    Abby online: @m.is.for.mama on Instagram and the M is for Mama podcast

    If this episode encourages you, consider sharing it with a tired mom friend who needs to be reminded that her quiet, daily faithfulness really does matter—and yes, it’s worth it.
