Speaking in Faith or Happy Lies? Interview With Melissa Dougherty  
Podcast: The Remnant Radio's Podcast
Published On: Tue Jan 21 2025
Description: 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.
