Another Gospel? by Alisa Childers  Cost: $12 In a culture of endless questions, you need solid answers.  If you or someone you love has encountered the ideas of progressive Christianity and isn’t sure how to respond, Alisa will show you how to determine – and rest in – what’s unmistakably true.  Alisa Chiders never thought she would question her Christian faith. She’d been 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 dedicated her own life to leading worship as part of the Christian band ZOEgirl. All that was deeply challenged when she met a progressive pastor who called himself a hopeful agnostic. Another Gospel? describes the journey Alisa took over several years as she wrestled with questions that struck at the core of the Christian faith and found the truth.  Alisa’s story may be your own – or that of someone you love.  Or perhaps you have encountered the ideas of progressive Christianity in your everyday life and aren’t sure how to respond. This study will: Help you challenge the persuasive message of progressive Christianity by examining popular messages found in progressive books, blogs, social media platforms, and scholarship Teach you how to use discernment, think logically, and make biblically based observations Lead you to discover how deep, thrilling, and humbling the true gospel is Bible Study leaders will be different each week: Becky Williams, Jane Ann Levene, Becky Allen, Nancy McCord, Diane Winter, and Sarah Ruth Arden
