Agnostic Pastor Drives Christian Pop Sin...

BILLY GRAHAM EVANGELISTIC ASSOCIATION
About this episode

Alisa Childers was a member of the Christian pop group ZOEgirl. When the group broke up and Alisa joined a Nashville church, she discovered her pastor was a self-described “hopeful agnostic.” 

Under his Bible study teaching, Alisa’s faith was “getting wrecked.” Determined to find the truth about Jesus, Alisa was shocked at the amount of evidence she found.
