May God supernaturally protect and guard parents and families bringing up young people in the fear and admonition of the Lord in these times of all out assault on our youth.

I love the way Phoenix put the identity thing. Thankfully I came from an older generation and was just labeled a Tom Boy, but I too have always liked non stereotypical things. I grew up and became a Police Officer, in a time when it was not common at all. Im and friends with men easier than I do with women. I find most feminine conversations flighty. 🤷🏼‍♀️ But at the same time I always loved playing with baby dolls and being a girl. I’ve been happily married for 40 years and am the mom of three amazing kids and have one perfect grandchild. And still, I find it hard to have a conversation with a lot of women. But in the end, my identity is in my savior Jesus.

My core identity (as with true Christians) is Child of God. And everyone is an image-bearer. 🙏

I rarely cringed listening to contemporary Christian music because that's pretty much all I listen to from the time I was young. ...Especially did not cringe listening to Zoe girl, for the record 🙂

Great conversation! Loved the bit about our identity as image bearers of our Creator and if one denies the Creator is whose image he or she is made, they will always be searching for an identity.

Absolutely fantastic conversation. Especially the section where Phoenix speaks about all the obsession with me. The best explanation for this gender issue I have heard...but also the need for attention and reinventing whatever they are. And thank you for talking about some things that may offend some of us in our culture...such as these men taking over a females identity. That does really offend me. But there is another issue that no one mentions and that is how so many foreigners are coming into our country and changing what was our culture into their culture. And now are demanding we accommodate their cultures. We are losing what made us Americans.

Phoenix makes Alisa laugh in a way that I haven't heard before :)

First Budweiser..Then Target..Nike..the list is growing.

She is so right that our world is reaching a cross road on our ability to "be like God" and it will be a big crash. We should be teaching our children this lesson

Loved this so much! Great discussion, very relevant! Will be sharing! So nice to hear intelligent women speaking truth!

Wonderful show Alisa I just followed Phoenix on Instagram. I’m Catholic and a fan of your show . I read your books Live Your Truth and Another Gospel.🙏🏼✝️🕊️

We need to be good stewards of the money/resources that God has provided for us and we need to use it for His glory (in all things). It seems to me that decisions of what businesses/corporations/etc...to patronize is much easier and simpler with this practice in the forefront of our hearts and minds.

Our war is not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities...

I rarely comment on videos, but THANK YOU FOR THIS. I love the way this conversation was handled and I so appreciate you all sharing. It was so encouraging to hear someone actually make the distinction between biological sex/gender and culturally constructed gender stereotypes and the line of "do you happen to like that thing associated with the opposite sex or are you trying to present/act like the opposite sex?" I feel there's often a neglect of that biblical middle ground and I feel so encouraged. This conversation will definitely help me as I navigate the world of youth ministry with my husband. Thank you for doing God's work. ❤️

AMAZING CONVERSATION 🔥🔥🔥🔥 thank you Phoenix and Alisa! 👌👌👌

My son wanted a Moana birthday party when he was 5 years old. Why? Because we'd just taken a trip to Hawaii and her adventure was cool... she was the hero of an amazing story! Did that make him a girl? Nope, not all. It made him want to rise to the challenges of life and be the hero in his own story. So we had a Moana birthday party and I'm still raising two sons. 🙂

Thank you for introducing us to Phoenix! This was a great conversation and I found it very encouraging

I lost my left ear pod at Target yesterday then listened to Alisa Childers today - through my right ear pod… the clarity was astounding

Fabulous conversation! So much to ponder here. I got much more than I thought I would out of this discussion. 👏

This was such a great conversation! I ran to follow Phoenix on instagram.

This was a great listen thank you, as someone who helps a small family freindly business i run into a lot of different people and its sad to see all these lost and confused people. When I listened to this I also thought on my cousin and her struggles with the gender identity and so forth with the hormones too. So this topic is very relevant and real for today's cultural society and its sad that this is where this world is going. But Gods plans are his alone to his to do and as brothers and sisters we are at Gods will and not our own and know how to protray that to the people are tough cause you not gonna reach all but there is that one you could reach and then they reach out to more and so forth. Let Gods Truth be Told, Gods Will be Done, and Gods Love be Shared.

Great conversation!

Great conversation! I’m not on Instagram, so I was happy to see that Phoenix is on Twitter, too. Following her now 😎

I quit using Target, Ben & Jerry’s, Netflix, Disney Plus and Comedy Central a while ago. I’m sure there’s more where that came from that I’m not thinking of at the moment. Never was a fan of Bud Light so no loss there. In 2021 I released a song about the damage that streaming outlets cause called “Blue Light Gaze”.

VIVEK 2024. Eliminate WOKENESS. God Bless You All. Thank you Alicia!

Thank you Alisa and Phoenix. Hello from South Australia 🇦🇺.

Hearing about your seven year old mentioning a character having no gender breaks my heart. That isn't even even an age where that should be a concern. This is why my children are home. We have a great support group and co-op for the social aspect, but my main goal is to protect their souls... then give them a good education. THEN make sure that they are socially adjusted. But what being socially adjusted means in this crazy world isn't what they need to be followers of The Way anyway.

Very good. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, that’s why Eric Metaxas wrote his book entitled LETTER TO THE AMERICAN CHURCH!

Well Done

Thank you for always bringing the truth, but hitting some of these culturally tough topics from a Truth perspective! Love your podcast!!

This was really good ❤

Gender ideology has become militant. It isn’t just a presentation of ideas our children are facing but, the fear of physical harm, bullying, cancellation, etc… At an age that kids are needing to learn how to build healthy relationships, learn to work through conflict with words instead of emotional outbursts, and the skills needed to maintain those relationships, they are being berated, screamed at, beat down, and/or physically assaulted. This is an excellent conversation and I love how Phoenix lays out who we are as image bearers of God. Found in Christ.

Two of my favorites! 🎉 Phoenix is so bold and I love her perspective on many things.

I have been pondering the fact that the genders are dressing and acting more and more homogeneously. We have dressed more alike for around twenty years and with that came women leaving their homes and working by the "sweat of their brows" to provide and trying to deny the fact that they are uniquely equipped to nurture the next generation ( abortion makes them equal to men). There is also the phenomenon of so many more gender neutral names. I wonder if the transgender movement is somehow linked to the genders becoming more and more alike? Not disagreeing with anything, just expanding with some questions 🤔

My next door neighbor wears clothes to resemble a man cuz she’s in a relationship with another woman. Her girlfriend wears pretty dresses and makeup, etc. The one who thinks she’s her lover’s protector and defender even walks in a manly way. One of my sons calls the manly one, with her short haircut, Butch Cassidy. Isn’t it fascinating that even homosexuals and lesbians know deep down that a union like theirs should be between a male and a female?

We boycotted Disney 28 years ago, and never looked back. We boycotted Target 14 years ago. Now Hershey, etc, etc, etc. There’s no real conviction when you go with the flow, right down the TOILET!

At 51 minutes where Alissa says Gen z's biblical position is harmful and causing people to be depressed and commit suicide, what a clever way to push off personal responsibility to another. Ever since our kids were in their terrible two we have been teaching them that their attitudes and reactions belong to them and no one can make them do x y or z, this is something that comes from their heart and must be dealt with by us as parents, then when they are God's new creation, directly with God. It's clever to say the only the Christian perspective is harmful yet in reality it's really the projection of personal sin that's the problem

Any thought on ministry, "Identity Exchange"?

For the Pikachu question 😂 In the cartoon, Ash's Pikachu is male, you can see from the tail. Female Pikachus have a sort of heart shape at the end.

Ah, gotta love the Discernment Bloggers 😂😂😂

Not aware that to whom you give your money affects their ability to spread their message? Get with it ... the way to let your opinion count is don't shop at these lefty merchants. !!!

Hello! I'm trying to find if Alisa Childers has done a podcast about "Dr. Becky" yet? I think Dr. Becky is making huge waves in society today and touts the proclamation that children are "good inside."

Christa Bontrager did a podcast about boycotts. It's not the issue. Phoenix is right we would have nowhere to go. Which is why I have no problem with the way some people choose to live. On compounds working with each other and growing and making most things they need. Bud Lightest it's shelf space in Costco. I was that mom. My journey has been complicated and amazing. What IS BIBLICAL attire? or is it a heart issue? Like u mentioned is it in rebellion? ✔👇❤.

From a pokemon fan and sister in Christ 😂: You can tell a Pikachu's gender by looking at its tail. The tails of male Pikachu have pointed ends connected by more-or-less straight lines; female Pikachu tails curve in at the end, with the two round shapes meeting in the center to form the top half of a heart.

❤

I think interests have nothing to do with sexual identity. I like flowers, baking, and playing non violent video games. I also teach a small group as substitute as well as run cameras and sound board for worship. I have always felt female as God created me.

Boycotts are vitally important in fighting this war of good vs evil, it's really the only effective voice we have right now. There really are alternatives to most everything we buy if we just take a moment and look. P.S. You can tell if Pikachu is a boy or girl from it's tail.

Explains why women love apples so much 😂

Beyond the self, there is our common ground. The bigger picture. Galatians 3:28. It doesn't matter what gender we are, what race, sexual orientation, culture, etc. What matters is that we are human beings in Christ Jesus so why not unite on that very notion?

If the blood of Christ is what saves us, how do we come in contact with it?

Bit unrelated to main talking point, but in regards to Pikachu, Pokemon in general, and gender, 1. You can actually tell if Pikachu is male or female based on whether or not it has two little humps at the end of its tail. So, if your daughter's pikachu plush has two little humps on its tail, it's female, if not, its male. 2. Pokemon in the video games have different gender ratios. For example the three Pokemon you have the choice of obtaining right at the start of the game all have 75/25 ratio between male to female respectively regardless of the Pokemon's appearance. An interesting bug that occurs because of this happens with the Azumarill evolution line. Azurill has 75/25 female/male ratio. Marill, the evolved form of Azurill, has a 50/50 female/male ratio. Because of this, when you're Azurill evolves into Marill, it has a small chance of changing into a male if it's female. This bug lasted across multiple games and was only fixed when Sword and Shield was released. 3. There are genderless Pokemon, although the official terminology puts them as having an unknown gender. This categorization is used almost exclusively for robot, Legendary, or Mythical Pokemon. This is pretty much just to add interest to breeding as genderless Pokemon can only breed with the Pokemon, Ditto, a genderless which has a special egg group that allows it to breed with any Pokemon regardless of gender. These are all elements that have been present for a very long time within the games, so I highly doubt they are the result of progressive meddling especially considering Pokemon is a Japanese company, Japan being a very conservative country even though Pokemon is definitely one of the more progressive companies out there.

I would have to disagree with her that the issue of identity is a matter of privilege and it's modern. She made it sound like only people from rich countries have the time and money to be able to ponder upon these things. I come from a poor country, the Philippines surrounded by so many gays and lesbians. It wasn't and isn't a big deal that men cross-dressed. In fact, they were the favorites in many fiesta shows and variety shows on TV. You would meet many children battling with these questions. This is also an issue in many other countries like Thailand. I myself battled gender identity crisis and was in a few same-sex relationships until I came to know the Lord Jesus. Although, the gay movement is much bigger now, specially in Western countries, the question of identity is not modern. We live in a fallen world because of sin and sexuality, including gender identity in general has been broken since after Adam and Eve disobeyed. It is actually dangerous for those of us who used to live this kind of lifestyle to be in denial of our tendencies. It is a recipe for falling into the same pattern. The key is to acknowledge that we constantly have to choose Christ over sin.

I am a boycott person. It makes a point, i refuse to spend my hard earned money at any store that is woke. Go woke, go broke.

People boycotting Target but not the show the Chosen… interesting…

Hey target! I left them behind over 2 months ago. I went in to target to return something I bought months before and wanted my money back. I was very uncomfortable being in the store, it was very obvious in everything I saw within the store that they are progressive. Therefore, I boycotted! I wanted them to feel it in their wallet and to know that NOT ALL people are okay with the lies and junk they are selling. Nope. Buh-bye Target.

We must, once again, become the UNITED States of America. VIVEK2024. Check him out as he has a vision we can run toward rather than US vs THEM having to choose which corporations we can and can't shop. He left his company as CEO when he wouldn't bend a knee to Black Lives Matter.

I think Rebel Wilson is very pretty and funny. She is "engaged" to a woman, so I thought it odd she was used for a Christian meme.

I am a cluster of atomic particles bonded together to form a human body and the reality that surrounds me. I am the eternal atoms that form my body and eventually dissolve back into formlessness. The infinite eternal Cosmos is my total being.

You will become like god knowing Good & Evil, this is not the lie, because the scriptures support this value, when it said, they have become like us knowing Good & Evil.

Jesus/Yahweh telling people their identities: Master and SLAVES. Leviticus 25:44-46 Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly. == Exodus 21:20-21 Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.
