Deconstructing Faith? Mormons? Telling Someone They're Wrong?! My Favorite Teachers? | Q&A Part 2

In this video, I’m taking a deep dive into the episode behind a well-known clip of Oprah that’s been widely shared in Christian circles. It’s sparked a lot of discussion about her beliefs and where they stand in relation to Christianity. But I believe there’s more to this clip than what’s on the surface.I go over the majority of the episode, show what you didn’t see, analyze Oprah and the panel’s beliefs, and explore the spiritual questions raised, giving a lot of commentary on what I would consider to be unrecognized New Thought beliefs. This is not just about Oprah or another "Oprah EXPOSED" video. This is about something bigger—a set of beliefs that isn't going anywhere and I promise you at some point in your Christian walk, you'll be confronted with these arguments and beliefs this panel puts forth. I want you to be equipped.On top of this, I also give some (maybe) unpopular opinions about the interaction between Oprah and an outspoken audience member. I thought this would be a shorter video, but… that just didn’t happen. Even for how long this turned out, I still could have spent another hour (or more) analyzing this episode and the clip in question.💡Want to know more about this "New Thought" thing?

Some Christians will say that for every counterfeit spiritual experience out there, there's an authentic version of it. This is how some odd and bizarre behaviors are explained to be not only biblical but also a display of spiritual power and favor from God. But what if that's not the case and there is more to this? I asked Dr. Berg, an expert on this topic, to come on my channel and talk about this. Dr. Berg's Information:Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiritoftruthoutreach7633His book: https://amzn.to/3zaWugxPeople can submit their free application to Hartwell School of Divinity to take courses on topics like the New Age Movement and Critical Race Theory: https://hartwelldivinityschool.com/apply/👉My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/💡Order Happy Lies: ● Barnes and Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/happy-lies-melissa-dougherty/1145097424● Audible: https://tinyurl.com/4b8j88vp● Christianbook: https://tinyurl.com/msvjxt2e● Amazon: https://amzn.to/46XmuZO●Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/●Instagram: @melissaldougherty ●Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77●My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/

There's a lot of strange stuff out there about the Bible. So I interviewed Bible scholar and historian Wesley Huff to give some clarity on this topic. Timestamps:03:59- Myth #1: The Bible was put together at the Council of Nicaea, where books were taken out.09:39-  Myth #2: The Bible has changed over time, especially with books being taken out, texts changing, and the Catholic Church having a different “Bible” than we do. 32:23- Myth #3: The Roman Catholic Church gave us the Bible.45:50- Myth #4: The King James Bible is the Best and Most Accurate Bible.56:51- Myth #5: The Book of Enoch Belongs in the Bible. 👀WATCH👀:●Which Bible translation is "best?": https://youtu.be/F-88_GXsV9k●Is the KJV superior?: https://youtu.be/GLZwzY-pBMg●Cultish Interview about the Book of Enoch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7xgmzGuvfE👇Info for Wes👇:●Website: https://www.wesleyhuff.com/●Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wesley_huff/●YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJX2EazMKUqBQV048px2aoA●First Episode of "Can I Trust the Bible?": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm4_ZvIvIj0●Apologetics Canada: https://apologeticscanada.com/●Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/●Instagram: @melissaldougherty ●Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77●My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/

We're digging deeper into the world of MLMs (Multi-Level Marketing). In this interview, I talk with two former MLM leaders, Kathy and Noble Gibbens, who are absolutely delightful. They were in a well-known MLM for over 20 years and were very successful. So why'd they leave it all?This is a follow-up to my initial MLM video. With as long as this interview was, there was till a LOT more to cover. Both Kathy and Noble have followed up on more thoughts about their experience in their podcast.

We're delving into the world of MLMs (Multi-Level Marketing Companies) and exploring their allure and controversy. And let me tell you... MLMs can be one of the strangest and most intriguing phenomena in the business world. I never intended this video to be as long as it did. But the more research I did, the more I decided that I needed to cover.  It took me many, many hours and almost 2 months to do this research. I have yet to see MLMs addressed from a Christian perspective. The *real* fuel for why I did this deep dive has to do with my background in New Thought and what I started noticing hidden within MLMs that needs to be talked about. (And it's not New Age.) I'm calling this the "dirty secret of MLMs." My goal is to approach this with fairness but also firmness. I think there’s generally a lot of (understandable) anger and bitterness with some of the anti-MLM crowd, and I wanted to approach this from a different angle. I made this video with no resentments but with a genuine interest in the topic, your stories, and a love for people and truth. I actually had a really wholesome experience doing this research. ●Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/●Instagram: @melissaldougherty ●Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77●My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/

UFOs and aliens can be a fringe topic that many Christians don't know how to navigate. Surprisingly, there are many academics and theologians that have seriously looked into this from a Christian worldview. In this fascinating interview, I talk to Dr. Brian Huffling about this topic and his surprising conclusions. 👀WATCH👀:● Subscribe to Dr. Huffling's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@classicaltheology● Piercing the Cosmic Veil: https://amzn.to/431zhaD● Dr. Huffling's Website: https://brianhuffling.com/📚RESOURCES📚:https://www.amazon.com/shop/melissadougherty●Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/●Instagram: @melissaldougherty ●Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77●My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/

Why believe in God? Why believe in the Gospel? Why believe in Truth?

I invited my good friend Jon Noyes on to talk about a tough topic: Suicide. I was stunned to discover how serious this is when I saw a recent statistic showing the growing suicide rates. Why is this happening? How can we biblically look at this? What can be done?

Alisa Childers and I had the honor of interviewing Jinger Duggar Vuolo, author of "Becoming Free Indeed: My Story of Disentangling Faith from Fear." You might remember her from TLC's popular shows, "19 Kids and Counting" and "Counting On." We discuss some of the legalistic teachings of Bill Gothard and how there was an ironic prosperity twist on his Life Principles doctrine. We also ask her about her journey of disentanglement and why deconstruction was not an option for her because of her love for Jesus and truth. She has a humbling and inspiring story.  👀WATCH👀:● Jinger's interview with Allie Beth Stuckey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj6Wv-1I4v4● Alisa's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@alisachilders📚RESOURCES📚:● Jinger's Book: https://amzn.to/3LM6S2J●https://www.amazon.com/shop/melissadougherty🤗DONATE🤗:If you are led, consider donating:https://paypal.me/MelissaDougherty77📲FOLLOW📲:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/Instagram: @melissaldougherty Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/●Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/●Instagram: @melissaldougherty ●Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77●My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/

It's Q&A time! A few weeks ago, I asked you all to email me some questions you'd like me to answer. The questions were compiled, and this is part 3. I did my best to answer them, and I hope it helps!Topics:-How can we encourage our children to continue studying God’s Word without making it feel like a chore? -A cultural question about how we should Biblically go about ordaining men? -How can we discern when a passage or verse in the Bible can be applied to us and when it shouldn't?-The pastor of the charismatic church my wife attends recently recommends listening to music in certain frequencies. Is this frequency music thing dangerous or unbiblical?-How should we, as Christians, handle conspiracy theories? ●Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/●Instagram: @melissaldougherty ●Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77●My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/
