A Movement Seeks to Redefine Christianity. Some Think that It Is a Much-Needed Progressive Reformation. Others Believe that It Is an Attack on Historic Christianity. Alisa Childers never thought she would question her Christian faith. She was raised in a Christian home, where she had seen her mom and dad feed the hungry, clothe the homeless, and love the outcast. She had witnessed God at work and then had dedicated her own life to leading worship, as part of the popular Christian band ZOEgirl. All that was deeply challenged when she met a progressive pastor, who called himself a hopeful agnostic.
In this talk, Alisa will describe the intellectual journey she took over several years as she wrestled with a series of questions that struck at the core of the Christian faith. Then she will give an overview of the movement of progressive Christianity and demonstrate how it disagrees with historic Christianity and even Jesus himself. Progressive Christianity is a different religion with a different God and a different Jesus…and that’s not a Jesus who can save you.

- How do we navigate gender ideology in the schools?
- What do we tell our kids to do when they are required to use pronouns that don’t match with reality?
- Are these questions familiar to you?
- Are you wondering what to do about these questions and the gender ideology that has become the assumed norm?
Members of the community met on September 1st from 6:30-8 for Sex and Gender in Education. John Stonestreet walked us through why Christianity makes the most sense of identity and is the best story for us and for our neighbors because it matches reality. During this evening we walked through the big picture of reality and how to address the issues of the moment.
Also participating in the lecture was lawyer Ian Speir, who provided a brief overview of parents' rights in education, with a focus on facility, bathroom, and pronoun policies at school, curriculum transparency, and opting out of sex ed.
