The public square is no longer passive about our Christian faith and values. Those of us who publicly speak for Christ will, at some point, be made to answer clearly for what we believe. Voices of Truth seeks to connect Christian music influencers with apologists and resources that help us answer difficult questions about our faith with confidence and clarity.

Alisa Childers: Alisa Childers is an apologist and former recording artist. In her words, “As a lifelong church-goer, follower of Jesus, and former CCM recording artist, I experienced a period of profound doubt about my faith in my mid-thirties. I felt as though I had been tossed in a stormy ocean of uncertainty with no life jacket or lifeboat in sight. I didn’t know where to find answers to my questions, or if answers existed at all. Did I have to accept it all on some kind of blind faith?” Alisa shares about her journey from unreasoned doubt into a vibrant, intellectually informed faith.
