It was an honor to be on your channel, Alisa. Glory to God ☺️ Praise God for your ministry work.

Discernment is lacking in the church today. Something we should all be praying for.

Another one I hear is "God works in mysterious way..." I hear them all the time. And I'm like, "He's not that mysterious that he'll break his own word."🤦🏽‍♀️

Melissa and Alisa has really opened my eyes to how Lukewarm Christian I am. I need to make time to examine my thoughts from Tolerance vs. True Love, and Really not being a Friend of this world. And to really study my Bible. There is no escaping the Book.

Oh my goodness. I fell for some of this new age garbage without realizing it. I owned a fitness franchise for 2 years and this type of new age talk "speak success into existence " was rampant. I thought it was just super positivity. God started stirring my heart summer 2019 and I closed my business and refocused my priorities on God and the roles he's given me. He's so gracious!

I called sin, sin in a church the I was in for a very long time. I was told that I was wrong, that I was causing division. I was told that I needed to get on board with them, get in unity. I left. It has been very difficult. I have been falsely accused and made out to be the bad guy, because I choose to follow the Word of God. I choose Jesus.

Alisa, thank you for what you're doing. It's been so hard for me as a Christ follower to find Biblically sound female teachers.

A friend told me of her religious upbringing. Her parents were into a syncretistic all religions are a way to God group. One odd thing struck them - although the leaders often spoke of Jesus, the bookstore sold no books about Jesus, or Bibles. When her family were converted to Christianity, they realized why this was. You can't know the teachings of Jesus and believe what that group was teaching.

My story IS VERY SIMILAR... n yes IT’S VERY HARD TO LEAVE THE NEW AGE WHEN YOU HAVE SOO MUCH POWER... until you start feeling depressed n distressed

Thank you for talking about The Shack. When the book and movie came out I refused to read or watch it and my friends thought I was insane. I couldn’t, at the time, put into words what was wrong but I knew it was wrong (if that makes sense).

Fantastic! My two favourite female apologists!!!

I can relate with Melissa’s story about the Jehovah’s Witnesses she met. I recently become coworkers with a Mormon. The differences between our beliefs caused me to look more closely into my own reasoning and convictions. Totally deepened my faith and caused me to hold even tighter to the true word of God. Don’t be afraid to ask yourself hard questions and find the answers in scripture!

New Age "love" is basically always affirming and never disagreeing with anyone and if you do youre just a "hater"

A new phrase has been coming into my hearing. "I declare" such and such...it doesn't sit well with me. I feel a check in my spirit.

As I was listening it occurred to me that perhaps these beliefs of "Oneness", "Universalism" and "Plurism" are leading towards a "One world order."

I love the fact that you ladies have both searched and found the truth in scripture. It's not easy to leave a movement where all of your friends belong, but God wants us to question all we're taught with boldness and measure it against his word.

I've just realized that I was in this thought of the law of attraction. I've seen a lot of videos, "sermons" about this. I was taught that if I speak, constantly I will receive it. And I've done that a lot, in that time I was like "oh, I'm not receiving because I don't have faith." Wow, thank you so much for this video.

I've always heard this scripture used... "Life and death are in the power of the tongue." Proverbs 18:21

"The more mindless that you become, the more spiritual you are" wow! That is so so true, guilting you when you have questions!

My wife is still in the new age mindset, and I don't know how to reach out to her, especially when a lot of new age thinks the Bible is just a book. I am no saint myself and have my own sins, but it is difficult being in a marriage where you want to talk about God and Jesus biblically and that conversation just can't happen. Prayers are definitely welcome for both of us and I'll be looking into what Melissa has to say. Praise God for you both and thank you for speaking truth

It was a full time job trying to come to my “true self” when I was in the New Thought. I felt that if I wasn’t coming into my true self then, I couldn’t please God. It was a never ending cycle of highs and lows that were completely unsustainable. I was taught that if I was saved I would no longer have sinful thoughts or act in sin ever again once you accept Christ. So when I would sin I would be so frustrated and did not realize that my salvation is sealed and not dependent upon me but upon the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ. Also was told I had to do miracles as evidence that I was saved and knew I couldn’t do them so again I thought I probably wasn’t saved. Experiences were allegedly signs that the Holy Spirit was in your life and that you were saved and if you were not manifesting then you probably weren’t saved. Such a mess. I Thank God for bringing me out, calling me to repentance and belief. For the first time I was taught from some Christian friends how to read scripture in context instead of reading it based upon what it means to me. Thank you for what you both are doing! People need to know that new age Christianity exists and they may even be a new age Christian and have now idea. This is exactly what the public needs to hear. So good. Such truth. God bless!!

It is really problematic when people claim that we can all be Christ. Many people are confused, myself included. I am happy about the education you are doing, I have learned a lot.

Excellent! frantically taking notes, stopping & starting video so i can remember everything. my son is into law of attraction. Talking about the shack, i heard it was good so i began to read it and & thought ugh i don't like this so i researched it. i posted about my research on FB & family [pentecostal christians] were sooo angry [it;s ONLY a book they said] they unfriended me! so sad. thank you two for your work & helping us to be informed. Keep up the good work & i will keep ya'll in prayer.

This is so troubling, but so important. This is eye opening. The year 2020 has opened my eyes to wanting to learn more and understand what is really going on in Churches. I am shaking on how important this is for us to hear. I’m sharing with my loved ones. Thank you so much.

When I heard the term "oneness" before I thought it was referring to unitarians. Thanks for explaining the term.

I attend an Independent Baptist church...and I find it interesting that it was actually the first place where I found someone who was able to answer all my Bible questions. Independent churches are independent and it's never a good idea to paint them with a broad brush.

Melissa’s testimony is both extraordinary, interesting, and heartbreaking. Thanks for sharing!

The most complete definition of that false love is Tolerance. My wife, when asked, defined love like that. Sadly she isn't saved, though she thinks she is. 23:00 You really nail it Melissa. She thinks conflict is bad, confrontation, She actually labels rebuke as hate. It makes me so sad. She also gets the judging thing wrong too.

Sad truth is most are teaching such things! Even more sad, most professing Christians still don't care because their feelings and opinions are more important that God's Holy Bible! So awesome to see you two together for a video!

Love the cake analogy!! Also, co verily with that, you can't leave certain things out aka baking soda or a leavening agent because it will not turn out. The same is true in Christianity! Thanks for that analogy Melissa!

This was really eye opening to me!!! I've been coming out of the prosperity gospel as well... Thank you ladies!!! Love watching your videos!!!

You two make a great team…thanks for clarifying so many things. Praying that many people will be saved from going down a deceit filled path.

Thank y'all so much for all this info (in this and your other videos). For a while now I've been feeling uncomfortable with the church we attend and now I know why! Our pastors are more along the lines of WOF/new thought! They are always saying how you can and should just "DECLARE" things in your life and don't speak life to negative things like illness/poverty/ etc. . We will be looking for a new church.

I had no idea that vibes were part of LOA. I see people posting all the time asking for prayer and/or positive vibes. That has always bothered me. Christians thinking that positive vibes do things and are as powerful as prayer. The vibration lie is so very real.

Big fan of you both! Once a person understands these malevolent doctrines, they will start seeing them pop up all over the place. Thank you both for educating us all! BTW, Melissa a gifted artist as well.

EXCELLENT!!!!! I literally was trying to explain this to someone in my family who is caught up in New Thought and this is an excellent resource I can share. Steven Bancarz book also just came in the mail today, so I was very excited to know I'm headed in the right direction to learn more about this topic.

I learned so much today! You helped me get clear understanding of some things I was never clear about. How I wish this conversation would have continued another hour!

Listening to this, there is so many things tied to this. This is definitely something that has crept into the church even in how we parent our children. From what I’ve seen “Gentle Parenting” has a lot of this nothing but love and enabling….. focused on nothing but nurture and mental health and almost no discipline in my experience.

Alisa, I bought your book and used in my high school homeschool curriculum. Thank you for writing it and for this podcast!

I listened to those teachings for years in the church but thank God that I’m free of it now. God bless you Alisa and Melissa for putting these conversations and teachings out there.

Just discovered your channel. Second interview I’m listening to. Love your discussions. Such a relief to hear other Christians who can “see”. ❤️

Thank you very much for both of you! I really enjoyed listening to your conversation. There are many things Melissa pointed out that I can relate to. I was into the new thought before coming to Christ. Thank you for sharing the truth and the Gospel! 💛 God bless you, Hanna

I too have heard the “don’t put God in a box.” Basically, people who say that really prove one thing, they don’t know the Scriptures and they usually base whatever they do know about God on how they feel rather than what God has revealed Himself to be. This is why the church must come back to Sola Scriptura. Too much wishy washy Jesus is who I think He is going on.

I’m in a reformed Presbyterian church, and I can identify with this interviewee how women are not at all encouraged to ask theological questions while men are respected and taken seriously. I was so troubled by that.

Thank you x 100 for this interview and for marching forward with the truth of scripture. I have been so confused recently about scripture scripture the church and you have opened my eyes to the reasons why. I sensed these things but didnt know how to voice them. I am so excited after hearing this to take up my Bible and search the scriptures (not my feelings) for truth and hope. God bless yal.

Wonderful conversation, thank you both for all you do!

THANKYOU MELISSA AND ALISA! Thankyou for being obedient to Christ and teaching us truth. I grew up in a Reformed church, then Gospel and Pentecostal through my teens years and now Baptist. Having two young girls, God has drawn me to solidify what it is I actually believe. His word has become SO solely valuable to me more than ever. I believe I have seen the misuse of the gifts of the spirit, false spirits and religion without relationship. There are so many topics that you both cover that are expressing in words the discernment I often feel. Thankyou sisters for the research you have done to ground us all in the truth of the Gospel. Bless you both as wives and mothers as well.

Thank you Alisa and Melissa - I'm listening/watching a lot of your videos. They are super informative. I have a great passion for apologetics and these are extremely helpful and educational. Alisa, on Melissa's recommendation I just bought your book 'Another Gospel.' Hoping it arrives tomorrow! Thank you ladies for your ministries.

So thankful for true sisters out there. Thank you for sticking to God's Truth! So many need actual healing and are being led down the wrong spiritual path because they allow their needs to lead them instead of the Truth. Hurts when all you need is some friendly compassion and you're told "don't claim that" .

Unity is often a call to compromise. When you see a call to unity you should ask yourself, "Am I being asked to give something up?" And, "Is the one asking for unity willing to give up anything? Or am I the only one compromising in this deal?"

Thank you for this talk . I need it desperately for discernment in my own church and my brother who totally engulfed in it. Please keep up your good services, people everywhere especially in Canada. ❤❤❤😢

Thank you both so much for holding the standard high for Christ. This is why he kept warning us if all the pitfalls and assailings of our faith.

I enjoyed that very much, Thank you! I at 57 found myself being pulled in to this kind of Charismatic circle, but because of my very strict Southern Baptist upbringing questioned what I was hearing. I am glad I started digging deeper!!

Put Alisa and Melissa together and you have such a discussion!! Love these two. And I have learned lots from you two. 😍😍

When you were talking about the woman who refers to searching for "the liquid gold" I couldn't help but think about the way I have heard (and fallen into myself) people talk about waiting to feel "peace about it" or waiting for "clarity" when they are trying to identify God's will or make a life decision. A while back my dad shared with me that he thought this was dangerous because he suspected that we are mostly waiting on a feeling rather than actively pursuing God. That concern was convicting to me so I thought I'd share.

Thank you for helping me to understand. This discussion really helps me to see what is so wrong about some of these beliefs. Please pray for me to be able to remember so that I can refute in love and scripturally true. I wish that I had never had those years of wandering instead of solid Bible teaching. I especially regret the 15 years that I spent in a large denominational church where I was not getting solid Bible teaching. AND... I am SO GRATEFUL for God’s leading me through some questionable stuff and into His word by leading me to solid Bible teachers. I count you both in that last category. Thank you.

In Belgium where I live, almost everyone is progressive. I am catholic, but I like how christianity in the US is really a way of living. Congratulations for spreading the Faith!

I love this ! I went through the same thing you did Melissa when I repented and gave my life to Christ in the beginning back in 1995 but I didn’t have any studying and if I did it was minimal it was a small church they taught the biblical Jesus but I didn’t have support because they just started and very humble small church , cause I wasn’t reading or had someone to support I fell back to the world for 20 yrs , I came back to Christ in 2016 but this church puts focus on discipleship but I think it needs to be tweaked in some of the way we need to approach the great commission they don’t teach new age but there is some stuff that is seen in some people who attend there and this needs to be addressed we need a class that will teach these kind of things we need to learn to see and be discerning, specially now a days ! It’s necessary! I’m glad there is people out there who take the time to care about letting the church know about this , many people you mention it’s watched with a lot of people I know I’m praying the lord gives me wisdom to I can speak truth to them and be equipped!

Great information, just keep it coming. I hope many are set free from these false doctrines n teachers.. thank you

Glad to see that The Lord has lots of witnesses to the truth. Well done Alisa and Melissa

Thank you Melissa and Alisa for this. Very insightful, deep and enlightening.

We're in an information war, and one of the weapons the enemy is using is redefining language. "Oneness" with God is a scriptural truth, but now the word is being used to lead people astray. "... but the person who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him." 1 Cor 6:17 NLT

Thanks Melissa, I feel like I know exactly how you feel, if that makes any sense. God bless and be strong. Alan

Wonderful insight. A great presenter. She directs her question and when you digress she redirects you to the issue at hand. And also she is confident, patient and really knows her stuff. She puts Richard Rohr in his place and he has no place to go if he listens to you.

Thank you so much for this insightful interview. Fantastic for me in better understanding what's happened with my estranged 35/38 yr old children who want nothing to do with me in large part due to my Christian stand and Biblical worldview. Wonderful job both of you.

I'd love for one of these women to tackle the issue of "Female Pastors" Biblically I believe men were called and ordained by God to pastor and lead a church. It doesn't make men better or biblically smarter, I just believe it's God's divine order. Btw, great interview! I love Melissa's passion and Alisa's as well!

Yes yes yes this is becoming more and more imperative to share...Thank you!

When I was coming up as a new believer at 19, my church offered me no help, no understanding no guidance, no discipleship. It really shipwrecked my faith.

Fantastic work ladies, it is not uncommon to see any of this in any given church, I was almost sucked into something like this and thank God! That the good Lord gave me the wits to see through it all.

A friend just sent me to Alisa's channel - she has a handful of people on here that I listen to, Melissa and Mike are two of them. I'm on her third video this week....STOKED I found her! 🥳💕🥳💕🥳

Oh wow, I had fallen so deeply for this oneness ideology and non-judgemental acceptance of everything, religious pluralism and Christian universalism and I was convinced I was a Christian, that makes it so warped... until Jesus grabbed my heart and changed me. I wouldn't have been able to debunk these lies without the holy spirit. It just sounded so so true. It's warped. I recently came across Keith Green's testimony and I realised it's all been here before, the same old lies are being recycled again and again, there's nothing new under the sun. I really appreciate you Alisa and Melissa.

Thank you both for discussing these important issues. I started in the AoG over 30 years ago, and much of these false teachings were alive back then too. More open, accepted and pervasive today, but much the same old lies. God bless you!

Yes yes yes!!! That’s what happened to me when I was learning about the Hebrew roots movement! And I didn’t also realize that I was in new age stuff prior!! My eyes were opened!

This was awesome. I hope y'all do more videos together. Thanks, so much!

If Jesus were to stand beside one of these people in the flesh, His words, "I am the way, the truth and the life. None comes to the Father except through me" will stay the same. Why? "Heaven and Earth may pass away, but my words will never pass away" - Jesus Christ

I thank God for both of you ladies.! This is starting to happen in my church!!!!

Im at that exact point of searching and accepting the bible over what i was taught. I spend hours on you tube and internet and in my study bible. Its like an obsession right now. A bit overwhelming. Thanks so much for sharing and thank you for your channel as well.

We and I are so blessed we have so much information and knowledge online what a great time to be a Christian 🔥

That was awesome interview thank you sister God bless

Thank you, Alisa and Melissa, for this incredibly clarifying video. It is so difficult to find biblical women standing up for the Bible online in the wake of so many ministries led by people who aren’t even aware of the falsehood they espouse! I had another thought about the cake analogy: if the most important thing is unity in the present, then you will perpetually be adding an abundance of nasty ingredients to the cake and never reaching the point of putting it in the oven to actually finish it! The same thing happens when churches begin introducing thought and language from CRT, intersectionality, postmodernism, etc. Of course the Church isn’t all-in with the radical agenda to create a new society, but the idea of social justice is so appealing that it causes woke churches to be in a constant state of repentance for imagined racism, sexism, and bigotry that they never committed.

YES! Melissa finally came on the podcast

I am so thankful to the two of you for this discussion! In fact, I will listen to it again. "Scriptures suffice & Jesus IS enough". This sums it up. As a believer that has been influenced by both Calvinism - detoured through the charismatic 'word of faith' - and Arminianism; the gospel of grace and truth is beautiful to behold.

I had that exact kind of experience, waking up the day after I decided to let God's Word SPEAK, and everything was light and different than ever before.

Thank you so much for your help and dedication to our lord Jesus, please keep up the good work with the Gospel Valant Soldier

Alisa and Melissa you two are so good together. You guys have much wisdom and discernment. God is exclusive 👍🏼.

Thank you so much. We have two daughters wrapped up in this and it just is heartbreaking and they have separated themselves from the family and that is we have a children that is my husband and myself and they have nothing to do with anybody because they are so wrapped up in this theology

I understand about waking up the next morning and everything being different after God touched me. That's what I went through, too. And it has remained that way ever since! Never gone back! That was 40 years ago! Praise our Lord!

Great. This podcast was awesome and an eye opener! Thank you ladies. God bless you!

This is a great interview. Really really good. So many thoughts and things to say but I won't want to write a book in the feed. 👍

I would appreciate it if you would define the difference between Charismatic and Hyper-charismatic. I think I would find it very helpful.

Cake analogy was brilliant and so was the programme. Very enlightening (in a good way).

Thank you ladies for covering these topics so well and conveying the information in an understandable way. It helps to hear of your backgrounds and how you came to Christ. I think very few of us can say we have never been touched by some form of New Age theology.

I feel that "hustle" culture and "girl boss" culture has really made BIG contributions to New Age running so beyond rampant in the church. My parents are baptist and always have been, but my mother over time got caught up in this "girl boss" culture, and began believing in manifestation, and positivity, and things you discuss in this video. They disguise this New Age teaching under verbiage and Christian jargon, and it's literally the snake from the garden. It's literally Adam and Eve in the garden all over again, 2000 years later, using the SAME tricks ya'll. Be vigilant and stand firm!!!

Melissa is right "your experience is your truth" That is a BREATHTAKING sentence for me. My life.

If everyone goes to heaven, heaven would then be no different than this present Earth.

This is a deadly duo of truth! Thanks for the video.

I'm a PK and I had the opposite of deconstruction when I was in the church of my father, until i was married but that is another story completely. My siblings and I were always the ones who picked up the slack where the other church members fell behind or wouldn't volunteer. I was never able to examine my own faith myself in a way that is not prompted by those around me. I haven't exactly been deconstructing but have been examining my own faith outside my parents and have been looking into apologetics. Have not left the church but have withdrawn from most of the service as a result of feeling i was being used. This was a traditional faith church.

Alisa, I’ve read your book. Thank you for sharing your story. There are so many of us New Agers that have found Christ. It can be very hard to find our way out. New Age is everywhere! Finding a church is so difficult. I am always questioning churches, pastors, music, etc. maybe I’m an apologetic, too? 😂 Melissa, why haven’t you written a book? I would buy it! I’ve read Doreen Virtue and Steve Bancarz, also. I don’t know about ex-New Agers, but I am hungry for information! Thanks again, for your videos, Melissa and Alisa! They are so helpful!!

thank you so much for this vid! i have a few friends who can certainly benefit from this..TRUTH!

Great interview! Thank you!
