Is the Bible just about encouragement, living "your truth," seeking personal happiness, finding your identity, and manifesting your desires? Popular Christian YouTuber, Melissa Dougherty, join Frank to discuss her brand new book, 'Happy Lies,' and how the profound (yet often unnoticed) beliefs of the New Thought movement have made its impact on the modern Church. During their conversation, Frank and Melissa will tackle questions like:

• What is the purpose of life according to the New Thought movement?
• What's the difference between New Thought and New Age?
• Is there a connection between New Thought and the Word of Faith movement?
• Should Christians recite affirmations?
• What do adherents of New Thought mean by "Christ Consciousness"?
• What are some of the key verses that are used in the New Thought movement and how are they twisted to deceive Christians?

If you’ve never heard of New Thought, this episode will uncover how its teachings deceptively infiltrate Christian culture, distort Scripture, and subtly influence your worldview. Could some of the most well-known pastors be peddling New Thought in the pulpits of America today? Tune in next week for the surprising answer in the midweek podcast and make sure you pre-order a copy of Melissa's book, 'Happy Lies'!
