Speaking in Faith or Happy Lies? Interview With Melissa Dougherty

Join The Remnant Radio as we sit down with Christian apologist and author Melissa Dougherty to discuss her new book, Happy Lies: How a Movement You (Probably) Never Heard Of Shaped Our Self-Obsessed World. Melissa will trace the roots of our culture's toxic subjectivity and relentless pursuit of happiness back to an influential 19th-century philosophy called New Thought—a movement that shaped much of today’s self-help culture and even infiltrated the church. 

As a former follower of New Thought teachings, Melissa brings a unique perspective, blending her personal journey with biblical insights and a touch of wit. We’ll discuss: 

• The hidden dangers of New Thought philosophy and its modern manifestations. 
• How the "positive thought" movement hijacks Christian-sounding ideas and burdens believers. 
• Why our culture's obsession with self and "fake authenticity" undermines true redemption. 
• How the Christian worldview offers a life-giving alternative to the world's Happy Lies. 

This episode promises to be eye-opening, equipping you to recognize and respond to deceptive ideologies with truth and grace. Don’t miss it!
