The Melissa Dougherty Podcast
Podkast av Melissa Dougherty
You'll find a mixed bag of Jesus, theology, Christian apologetics, and cultural topics from a Christian perspective here. I'm an ex-New Thoughter (with a little Ex New Ager sprinkled in) and a lot of my videos focus on topics related to this as well. My hope is to help Christians thoughtfully know what they believe and why they believe it.

What do you do with a mega-famous influential billionaire who says she's a Christian... but denies the core beliefs of Christianity? Instead, she believes in the divinity of humanity, the power of affirmations, the ability to speak and think things into existence, and that all religions lead to God and much more. Isn't she a New Ager, then? No. In this video, my goal is to explain why. What is this stealthy spirituality of Oprah Winfrey, and what are people missing? Timestamps: 0:00- Intro 05:03- Part 1: Context, Controversy, and Bio: Who is Oprah Winfrey? 20:37- Part 2: What New Age is... and What it Isn't. 40:04- Part 3: Why Oprah Isn't a New Ager. 1:31:26- Part 4: The "Why" with Biblical Perspective. 1:43:18- Final Thoughts. 👉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 👀WATCH👀: ●Deep Dive on MLM's: https://youtu.be/tXcqHwi4OaA ●What Drove Me into False Christianity: https://youtu.be/LRQP96DmrIQ ●What About Those Who Never Hear the Gospel?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiyxpE5UBz4&t=10s 📚RESOURCES📚: https://www.amazon.com/shop/melissadougherty 📲FOLLOW📲: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianity/ Instagram: @melissaldougherty TwiX: https://twitter.com/Meldougherty77 💡SEMINARY💡: Looking for a solid theological education?

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.

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. You can find the info for that below.
