The Destructive Nature of Endless Positivity in Culture with Melissa Dougherty

What if some of the most popular “Christian" sounding ideas in our culture aren’t actually biblical? In this episode of Voices of WIA, Lori Morrow sits down with YouTuber and author Melissa Dougherty to unpack the difference between New Age and New Thought, and why it matters for discerning believers. Together, they explore how subtle, positive-thinking theology can creep into the church and how Christians can respond with clarity, truth, and grace. ___ Educating, Equipping, and Encouraging Women in Christian Apologetics Women in Apologetics (WIA)'s mission is to change the culture around apologetics for Christian women by making it more accessible, relational, and relevant. While some women’s ministries focus on emotion-based teaching, WIA exists to change that narrative, getting our faith off our feelings and in the truth of Christ himself. While we certainly aren’t against emotions (after all, God has given us good emotions), we believe in the steadfast and unchanging truth of God’s word and the Holy Spirit to lead us, and not our feelings. We believe women are not only welcome in apologetic spaces but are vital contributors, and we firmly believe apologetics is not in competition with our God-given femininity. 📚 Free Resources: womeninapologetics.com/freebies 💬 Follow Along on Instagram: instagram.com/womeninapologetics 👕 Shop WIA Merch: shop.womeninapologetics.com ❤️ Support Our Mission & Vision: womeninapologetics.com/donate
