#55 Awake… or Deceived? Inside Jen Hatma...

Alisa Childers & Natasha Crain
About this episode

In this episode of Unshaken Faith, Alisa and Natasha take a deep dive into Jen Hatmaker’s new best-selling memoir, Awake—a book that has already sold over 100,000 copies and is captivating Christian women across the country.

Hatmaker describes Christianity as the greatest source of oppression in her life—and replaces it with what Alisa calls the “unholy trinity” of feminism, critical pedagogy, and even witchcraft. Together, Alisa and Natasha unpack the book’s six central themes, reading key quotes directly from Hatmaker and comparing them with biblical truth.

You’ll hear:

Why Awake is far more than a personal memoir—it’s a theological manifesto.

How post-Christian spirituality often replaces Scripture with self-worship and emotional “truth.”

The danger of calling something “Jesus” when it’s crafted from our own imagination.

How witchcraft, energy rituals, and self-trust have become the new spirituality for many women.

A biblical response to the cultural message: “Follow your heart.”

Alisa and Natasha approach the topic with both compassion and conviction, acknowledging the heartbreak in Hatmaker’s story while showing why her conclusions lead women away from the true gospel.

???? Listen to the end as they remind listeners that real freedom isn’t found in rejecting God’s authority—it’s found in surrendering to it.
