#411 Christianity and Perimenopause: Staying Faithful When Your Hormones Crash Out | Hilary Morrison
The Alisa Childers PodcastShow Notes
What does it look like to remain faithful to Christ when your hormones feel like they’re crashing out?
In this first episode of a two-part series on perimenopause and menopause, Alisa shares her own experience with hot flashes, sleep disruption, anxiety, and intense mental and emotional symptoms—and how learning to care for both her spiritual and physical health changed everything.
She is joined by physician assistant Hillary Morrison, who has spent more than a decade working in functional and integrative medicine. Together, they discuss what actually happens to a woman’s hormones during perimenopause, common symptoms to watch for, why some women struggle more than others, and the connection between hormonal changes, sleep, mood, weight, and overall health.
They also discuss hormone replacement therapy, progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, testing options, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid and gut health, and how women can advocate for themselves when seeking medical care.
Most importantly, Alisa and Hillary consider these questions through a Christian worldview. Hormonal changes may make obedience more difficult, but they do not define us or excuse sin. At the same time, caring for the physical body God has given us is not somehow less spiritual.
Whether you are currently in perimenopause, preparing for it, or trying to better understand a woman you love, this conversation offers practical information, biblical encouragement, and hope for navigating this season faithfully.

Decades ago, Christian philosopher and apologist Francis Schaeffer warned that evangelical Christianity was heading toward what he called “The Great Evangelical Disaster.” He believed that as Christians increasingly accommodated the spirit of the age, compromised biblical authority, and abandoned objective truth, the consequences would be devastating. Looking at the church today, was Schaeffer right?
The New Apostolic Reformation has become increasingly influential in churches, worship music, conferences, and even politics—but what exactly is it, and how can Christians recognize its teachings?
Have you ever wanted to share the gospel with a Muslim but felt intimidated because you don’t know enough about Islam?
What does the Bible actually teach about church leadership—and what happens when a pastor is treated as “God’s anointed man” whose board exists to strengthen his hand rather than hold him accountable?
In this episode, I’m joined by Monique Duson and Phoenix Hayes to react to viral clips about abortion, progressive Christianity, gender ideology, and more. But the conversation takes an unexpected turn when we dive deep into spiritual warfare. How do Christians discern what is actually demonic? Are we supposed to rebuke demons, engage them, or simply ignore them? And what does it look like to take spiritual warfare seriously without seeing a demon behind every bush?
