The Alisa Childers Podcast

In Part 2 of our series on equal protection for the preborn, Alisa sits down with Ginna Cross, co-CEO of Alliance Family Services, to hear the case for why equal protection should be pursued now—not later. Grounded in a deep conviction that Scripture demands equal justice for every human being made in God's image, Ginna argues that Christians should advocate for laws that protect preborn children the same way they protect every other innocent person.

Together, Alisa and Jenna discuss:

What "equal protection" actually means
Why some pro-life leaders oppose equal protection legislation
The biblical case for equal protection
Common objections, including concerns about criminalizing women
What happened behind the scenes with equal protection bills in Tennessee and other states
The differences—and similarities—between the pro-life and abolition movements
Why this debate matters for Christians who want to think biblically about justice, law, and the sanctity of human life

Whether you agree with Scott Klusendorf's strategic concerns from Part 1 or with the arguments presented by Ginna Cross in this episode, this two-part series is designed to help you hear the strongest case from each perspective so you can think through one of the most significant debates in the pro-life movement today.

Equal protection for the preborn has become one of the biggest and most divisive debates in the pro-life movement. Everyone agrees abortion ends the life of an innocent human being. Everyone wants to see abortion end. The disagreement is over how Christians should get there.

In this episode, Alisa sits down with pro-life apologist Scott Klusendorf for a thoughtful and friendly debate about whether pursuing equal protection legislation right now is the best path forward.

Scott argues that while equal protection is the right destination, pushing for it today could actually undermine the pro-life movement and cost lives. Alisa, who supports equal protection, challenges his position while seeking to understand the strongest case against it.

Topics include:
What equal protection actually means
Incrementalism vs. abolition
Should women ever be prosecuted for abortion?
Lessons from William Wilberforce and the abolition of slavery
Why worldview—not just politics—is at the heart of the abortion debate
Whether pursuing equal protection now is wise or premature

Next week, Ginna Cross joins the podcast to make the case for equal protection and explain why she believes it is the only consistent application of justice for the unborn.

Charlie Kirk's assassination sparked an explosion of conspiracy theories. Many of those claims, amplified by Candace Owens, have accused eyewitnesses, Charlie's friends, and even TPUSA of participating in a massive cover-up.

In this episode, Frank Turek responds directly.

Frank was with Charlie the day he was murdered. He rode with him to the hospital. He has also become one of the primary targets of these accusations.

We examine the biggest claims one by one:

Was there really drone footage?
Did Frank change his story about his cell phone?
Did he perform CPR?
What does credible eyewitness testimony actually look like?
Why should Christians care about conspiracy theories?

This conversation goes beyond one tragic event. It's about truth, evidence, discernment, and the biblical responsibility to reject slander, baseless accusations, and defend those who are being unjustly attacked.

Was Phoebe the first female preacher? Was Junia an apostle? Can women preach, teach, or host Christian podcasts?

These questions are fueling some of the biggest debates in evangelicalism today.
In this episode, Denny Burk joins me to separate biblical complementarianism from the caricatures.

We tackle the Al Mohler controversy, the real meaning of 1 Timothy 2, whether Phoebe preached Romans, whether Junia was an apostle, and how Christians should think about women in ministry without going beyond—or falling short of—what Scripture teaches.

Is Women of the Word by Jen Wilkin a reliable guide for learning how to study the Bible?

With more than 250,000 copies sold, Women of the Word has become one of the most widely recommended books on Bible study for Christian women. But does it offer a biblically sound approach to interpreting Scripture?

In this episode, I take an in-depth look at Jen Wilkin's bestselling book, examining its central claims, evaluating its approach to hermeneutics, and comparing its teaching with biblical principles for handling God's Word.

Along the way, we'll discuss:

Why it's important to ask what a passage meant before asking what it means for us.
The relationship between the mind, the heart, and spiritual transformation.
Common mistakes Christians make when studying the Bible.
Why context matters—and why Scripture must interpret Scripture.
The difference between description and prescription in biblical narratives.
How our view of the Bible shapes the way we read it.
Practical principles that can help you grow in biblical literacy.

I'll also share several of my own Bible study tips, recommend additional resources for going deeper, and explain why sound Bible study matters for every Christian.

Whether you're just beginning to study the Bible or you've been reading it for years, this episode will challenge you to think more carefully about how we approach God's Word.
