As a lifelong church-goer, follower of Jesus, and former CCM recording artist with the Dove award-winning group ZOEgirl, Alisa Childers experienced a period of profound doubt about her faith in her mid-thirties. She felt as though she had been tossed in a stormy ocean of uncertainty with no life jacket or lifeboat in sight. Alisa didn’t know where to find answers to her questions, or if answers existed at all. Did she have to accept it all with some kind of blind faith? She began to investigate her faith intellectually—took seminary classes and read everything she could get her hands on. This began a journey from unreasoned doubt into a vibrant, rational, and informed faith.

In Part 1 of this podcast, Steve interviews Alisa as she shares about her family, her faith, and what led to her mission and ministry as an apologist.
