About Melissa:
"You'll find a mixed bag of Jesus, theology, very okay satire, Christian apologetics, and cultural topics from a Christian perspective here on my channel. I'm an ex-New Thoughter/New Ager 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."

Thanks for having me on, Tim!
The pleasure was all mine!
Thank you, Melissa. This is really helpful! Im sat down tonight drafting my testimony for my coming baptism. Im an ex new ager of 30 years and was struggling to separate new age and new thought. This was really informative. God bless 🙏🏻
Wow! What an interview! Melissa, your testimony is beautiful and hearing God’s redemption over your life is so transformative. It’s proof that no one is too far gone. We are never beyond His love.
I used to be involved in the New Age and this interview is such a blessing to me.
Tim, you’re a rising UA-camr and have a gift for interviewing and natural conversation. You’re a great listener and your questions really drove the interview forward for Melissa to share even more openly.
Looking forward to more interviews and videos! God bless you both!
Such a great interview! Love learning the distinction between new age and new thought. Christians need to understand these things so we can shine the light of biblical truth to those who are confused and deceived. I’ve been following Melissa’s channel for four years. It has blessed me tremendously.
Yes! She's such a blessing to the Kingdom!
Excellent!! I love Melissa and her content. Thank you!!
@MelissaDougherty your channel and your ministry has been a huge blessing for me. I spent the first decade or so of my Christian life deeply invested in the Word of Faith teachings until my husband died suddenly of cancer and my faith was so completely shattered that I full out ran away from God and church and faith for the better part of another decade. When I stopped running from my savior I had soooo many questions about what I really believed. Your channel and others like you as well as apologetics in general and now moving into church history have been a lifeline for me.
I will be one of the first in line and am so excited to read your book. God bless you and keep you!!
You're doing longer videos! I love it!!!
This is one of my favorite videos of Melissa. Thank you Tim for interviewing her. It was interesting and I learned some things too.
I can relate to being a woman and wanting answers and I love to learn and research too. Apologetics was so helpful for me too when I was looking for answers no one could give me in church.
Such a good interview. Thank you, Tim 🙏🏻. “Steward whatever God has given you” .. loved this so much had to write it down. 🙏🏻
@MelissaDougherty thank you for explaining the difference between New Age and New Thought. Very helpful!
Amen !
Great video!
Thanks!!
I just read Melissa’s article written for Cross Examined, “Yes, There is a Difference Between New Age and New Thought.” This better helped me understand the ideas. Now I’m wondering if transubstantiation is New Thought since it is meta-physical. I’m seeing Christians leave evangelical churches and turn to Episcopalianism,, Catholicism and Greek Orthodoxy. It seems to be an attraction to right-brain thinking without balancing it with an accurate understanding of the Bible.
Dear God, I know I am a sinner. I want to turn from my sins, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe He died for my sins and that You raised Him to life. I want Him to come into my heart and to take control of my life. I want to trust Jesus as my Savior and follow Him as my Lord from this day forward. In Jesus' Name, amen."
Hello @Melissa there are many denominations, I often wonder how do we ever become one body. The duality of my beliefs is right and yours is wrong has done more damage to the body of Christ.
Most evangelicals are known for what they hate rather than how we love. We could serve the world better by understanding that our calling is love- we could judge people but it has never resolved the world crisis.
I use to watch Mike Winger but that video he made about women preachers he said 1st Tim was culture not for today
Disagree with you there. He did an excellent job in articulating every argument and made a very careful biblical argument against female pastors
@@timbmedina it was in the beginning of the video he said that so I’ll watch it again and longer, thank you
