The Melissa Dougherty Podcast

By: Melissa Dougherty
  • Summary

  • 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.

  • Christian Vs. Oprah: What You Didn’t See in This Controversial Clip.
    Dec 4 2024

    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.

  • Exposing Genuine and Fake Spiritual Encounters with Dr. Chris Berg
    Sep 9 2024

    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.

    Dr. Berg's Information:
    Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiritoftruthoutreach7633

  • Five Myths About The Bible (And How We Got it.)
    Jul 21 2024

    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.

Sound and well presented

Melissa, you are smart, well spoken, and eye opening. You're everything the haters of truth hate - this is a BIG complement. I'm not saying that you're looking for a fight, I'm saying that what you present is grounded in His Word. I look forward to your videos and podcasts. I'm also a man and I appreciate that you appreciate us. Keep doing the Lord's work and know that you are loved.
