My problem with many of her excellent podcasts is the low sound on Alisa's end and good sound for the guest speaker. Unfortunately, this time, the good sound included all the background noise!
Thank you Alisa and Anne for reading and listening to all these materials so we don't have to. I walked away/dropped out of Jen's audience years ago. It just irritates me and the humor and winsomeness isn't cutting it.
Ugh is it just me who keeps getting distracted with all the clanking and pinging in the background? Wish they could mute that or something as I’m very interested in this.
I think the guest speaker is not respecting the privilege of being invited to speak with Alisa. The host should get your undivided attention and respect. The background noise was distracting to me as a listener and the guest also seemed distracted and had a hard time getting her thoughts out at times.
@@KristiLEvans1 She shouldn't agree to do an interview when she can't give her full attention. It's a matter of respect to the host. Six kids or not. Respect and attention is due and if she can't give it, decline the interview until she can. She only makes herself look bad.
@@ChristieJo I must politely disagree. We do not know whether or not this blogger could schedule a time where she didn’t have her kids, OR Alisa was okay with her busyness. I was a single mom with three kids and zero help, so I can tell you that an inability to schedule around such things can be possible.
@@KristiLEvans1 agree to disagree. Like I said she could politely decline the interview out of respect to the interviewer if she can't give her full attention. Single or not, one kid or 10, respect is respect. She showed none.
I’m wondering if you’ve asked Jen to come on your podcast and discuss her views. Jen has claimed to have deeply “deconstructed” and then “re-constructed” her faith. I’d love to hear her with someone who has looked at her faith as you have Alisa and would challenge some of her conclusions by asking where she lands on the veracity of scripture. That would be fascinating. But of course you may have asked and Jen may have declined because that’s exactly what she doesn’t want to answer.
The person you interviewed is super distracted (noise in background) and couldn't articulate very well. It was difficult to listen to this and I gave up. Too many pauses and "uhh, uhh" on her part which made her sound like she really didn't know what she was talking about even when it came to explaining something simple. Maybe Alissa can cover these things ( background noise, distraction) BEFORE the actual interview.
I'm sorry, but I'm getting aggravated by "washing dishes" sounds. And funny thing is, it seems her confused pauses coincide with the loudest bangs. I mean, maybe she is watching her toddlers or something, but if she said something about that, we would at least understand there is no other way.
Exactly... I kept expecting Alisa to acknowledge the noise level that never seemed to taper off and give us some explanation... I finally had to turn it off.
I didn’t hear anyone ripping anyone down. It’s very important to discuss theology and to be a good Berean, rightly dividing the word of truth. It is very important to know if it is a gospel or a false gospel. People have been doing this for centuries and it is critical as a Christian to know how to differentiate between the two. Jesus warned us, Paul warn us, we all need to be good and students of the word.
Just curious - have either of you ever reached out to or spoken to Jen Hatmaker to understand her stance instead of subjectively dissecting what she believes? I'm new to your youtube channel and not at all familiar with Jen, however, speaking directly to the individual in question instead of to someone who's merely crammed a bunch of the individuals recordings seems like the right thing to do.
There is enough material published in books, articles, and audio and video. There is really no reason to confront her. Others have confronted her and gotten nowhere. It is the same with Beth Moore. People like Hatmaker and Moore publish and write and comment on things, but don't engage with the people who want to dialogue and discuss issues with them. There is no need to speak directly with the person when the published material presents the issues at hand. Besides, when you do confront, people freak out and call it being judgemental. People who use their platform to claim things, especially about faith and Christianity, they put themselves out there to be challenged. Both Hatmaker and Moore have failed to respond.
Actually I have followed Jen for several years now and she makes her stance very clear on her social media. People have confronted her over and over there and she makes her stance very clear. It’s quite sad. Leading hundreds of thousands astray.
