The Alisa Childers Podcast

What if one of the strongest arguments against Islam comes from the Quran itself? Muslims believe the Quran is the final revelation from God, yet it repeatedly affirms the authority of the Torah and the Gospel while contradicting some of their most foundational teachings. This creates a serious problem known as the Islamic Dilemma.

In this episode, Alisa talks with Christian apologist Chris Frost, who regularly engages with Muslims at London's famous Speakers' Corner. They unpack what the Quran actually says about the Bible, why the claim that the Bible has been corrupted doesn't resolve the dilemma, and how Muslim scholars have wrestled with these contradictions throughout history. They also discuss biblical manuscript evidence, the preservation of the Quran, and practical ways Christians can use the Islamic Dilemma in conversations with Muslim friends and neighbors. Plus, Chris shares stories from his ministry, including Muslims who have left Islam to follow Christ.

When it comes to kids and screens, it's easy to feel like the damage is already done. But here's the good news: It's never too late to make a change, and you don't have to overhaul your entire family overnight.

In this episode, Alisa sits down with author and speaker Arlene Pellicane to discuss her new book, The Great Tech Reset, and the growing impact of screens on childhood development, mental health, relationships, and spiritual growth. Arlene shares why she and her husband chose to raise their three children without smartphones, social media, or video games until their late teens—and what happened as a result.

They discuss the science behind screen addiction, how social media can undermine a biblical worldview, and why so many children are losing the ability to focus, read deeply, and engage with the real world. They also share honest lessons from their own parenting experiences and practical strategies for setting healthy boundaries, delaying smartphones, and reclaiming family time.

Whether you're raising toddlers or teenagers, this conversation offers encouragement and actionable steps for parents who want to raise thoughtful, resilient kids grounded in their faith. And if you feel like you've already made mistakes with technology, it's not too late to make a reset.

Why are so many young Christians converting to Roman Catholicism? Is the Catholic Church really the original, unchanged church established by Jesus? And does Rome teach the same gospel we find in Scripture?

In this episode, Alisa sits down with New Testament scholar and missionary Dr. Clark Bates to examine the growing appeal of Roman Catholicism, particularly among young evangelicals searching for deeper historical roots and a more substantial faith. Drawing from his experience training Protestant pastors in Italy, Clark explores the history of the Reformation in Italy, the Catholic Church’s claims about apostolic succession and church tradition, and the significant theological differences between Roman Catholicism and Protestant Christianity.

They discuss what Rome officially teaches about salvation, grace, the sacraments, and biblical authority, and why familiar Christian terms don't always mean the same thing in Catholic and Protestant theology. They also examine the writings of the early church fathers, the development of Catholic doctrine, and the question of whether Protestantism is disconnected from historic Christianity.

Most importantly, Clark explains why he is a Protestant and offers practical guidance for engaging Catholic friends and family members with biblical truth, clarity, and love.

Decades ago, Christian philosopher and apologist Francis Schaeffer warned that evangelical Christianity was heading toward what he called “The Great Evangelical Disaster.” He believed that as Christians increasingly accommodated the spirit of the age, compromised biblical authority, and abandoned objective truth, the consequences would be devastating. Looking at the church today, was Schaeffer right?

In this episode, Alisa sits down with Dr. Bruce Little, professor emeritus of philosophy and director of the Francis A. Schaeffer Collection at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, to explore Schaeffer’s life, legacy, and remarkably relevant warnings. They discuss how theological compromise takes root in churches, the influence of postmodernism and pragmatism, the dangers of adopting secular business and leadership models, and the growing tribalism within evangelical Christianity. They also examine current debates over biblical inerrancy and why seemingly small accommodations can have significant consequences for future generations.

Are we witnessing the Great Evangelical Disaster Schaeffer warned about, or are we already living in its aftermath? And what can Christians learn from his unwavering commitment to truth?

Hot flashes, brain fog, anxiety, mood swings, sleepless nights... menopause can turn your world upside down! But how do we navigate these very real physical and emotional challenges while remaining faithful to Christ?

In part two of our series on menopause, I'm joined by some familiar voices from the world of Christian theology and apologetics who are getting personal about their own experiences with perimenopause and menopause.

Rosaria Butterfield, Shanda Fulbright, Korey Cooper, Krista Bontrager, Monique Duson, Patti Height, Katy Faust, and Teasi Cannon share honest stories, practical advice, biblical wisdom, and even a few laughs about this often-overlooked season of life.

We talk about everything from managing anxiety and intrusive thoughts to finding medical help, cultivating self-control, building supportive Christian friendships, and learning to trust God's Word when our emotions seem completely out of control.

Whether you're in the thick of perimenopause, navigating postmenopause, or preparing for what's ahead, this conversation is filled with encouragement and hope. Our bodies may be changing, but God's faithfulness never does. And this season of life can be an opportunity not just to endure, but to grow in wisdom, holiness, and our love for Christ.
