Don’t Trust Your “Feminine Intuition” | Wife School #3 Alisa Childers

What happened in this episode?

Alex Clark interviews Christian apologist Alisa Childers for a "Wife School" episode centred on what they describe as conspiracy obsession among Christian women and its impact on faith and family life. Clark and Childers repeatedly refer to an alleged assassination of Charlie Kirk and discuss Candace Owens’s public claims about the circumstances; Childers says Owens has not provided evidence, characterises the coverage as gossip and "abuse", and names individuals she says are being dragged "through the mud".

Childers frames conspiracy thinking as spiritually and morally corrosive, arguing it can become idolatrous and displace scripture-based discernment. She also contends that deception is fundamentally moral rather than merely intellectual, and criticises the rhetorical tactic of making accusations “veiled as a question”. In a personal aside, Childers recounts that she once "bought" conspiracy narratives around the Sandy Hook shooting but refrained from amplifying them because of the potential harm if she were wrong.

The pair connect conspiracy culture to broader post-truth dynamics, comparing “vibes and feelings” reasoning to cultural debates on gender identity. Later, Clark raises a pattern she says she has observed among some online Catholic voices fixated on Israel; Childers discusses eschatology disputes, replacement theology versus dispensationalism, and suggests some attacks may be driven by antisemitism. Childers closes by urging listeners to redirect energy towards bible study, discipleship, and apologetics resources rather than internet-driven “rabbit holes”.

What are the key points?

• Alisa Childers alleges Candace Owens has not provided evidence for her central claims about Charlie Kirk’s death and says the coverage amounts to "gossip" and "abuse".
• Childers says the Owens-related online "phenomenon" is "100% a cult" and claims it is harming marriages, citing messages she says she has received.
• Childers describes deception as a moral and spiritual problem, arguing that critical thinking alone is insufficient without commitment to truth and holiness.
• Childers recounts a first-person example of being drawn into Sandy Hook conspiracy narratives and explains why she chose not to spread them.
• Clark and Childers argue that “just asking questions” can function as accusation, and warn against treating feelings as proof.
• Childers alleges Owens ignored contrary evidence in claims about Brigitte Macron’s gender, framing the approach as building plausibility without proof.
• Childers speculates that some anti-dispensational activism in online religious politics may be motivated by antisemitism, while noting intra-Christian doctrinal disagreement is not inherently antisemitic.
