Happy Lies with Melissa Dougherty

Melissa deftly traces the roots of today's social chaos back to a little-known (but very influential) 1800s philosophy known as New Thought. A former follower of its teachings, Melissa provides clarity and compassion mixed with a dash of loving snark as she exposes New Thought's deceptions and its many concerning tendrils within the church and our "self-help" culture.

As a graduate of WBS (2024), I was thrilled to see Dr. Miller invite Melissa on. I have been a fan of hers since discovering her story of questioning New Age theology

I am a former UMC, now GMC. Can you say whether there is a (at least partial) number of those in the hierarchy of the UMC, especially prior to the split, that mirrors some of the things Melissa is detailing.
