Compassionate. Inclusive. Nonjudgmental. Who wouldn’t want to be part of a church like this? It’s why Progressive churches are so appealing—especially to young people looking for something different from the church they grew up in. Today Juli sits down with Alisa Childers, apologist and author of Another Gospel?, to hear her story of doubt, deconstruction, and rediscovering the Truth—and to learn why Progressive Christianity is so dangerous to the Christian faith. You don't want to miss this episode!
