Her background in business, communications, psychology, and human relations, along with her personal studies of scripture, apocrypha, ancient history, and other faith traditions, make her a renaissance woman, and an engaging hostess and presenter.

Ep. 136 | Sacred Synergy: Integrating Liturgical Traditions in LDS Home Worship, with Alisa Davis
Meghan is joined by Alisa Davis, a writer for LDD's Honey + Lilies blog, to discuss the imprints of other Christian traditions on her LDS worship. Topics Include:
- Becoming Comfortable with the Unknown
- "Repetitious" Prayers
- Rooting Out Unhealthy Cultural Traditions
- Salvation based on knowledge vs faith
- Cultivating Sacred Spaces and Time
- Beautifying Worship
Alisa is a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and lives with her husband and 3 children in the Pacific Northwest.
Raised as an Evangelical Alisa became disillusioned with the gospel as it was taught and experienced in her Evangelical environment during a divorce to her first husband. Hungry for a deeper understanding and experience of both spiritual and doctrinal things related to the Gospel, Alisa spent several years in the Hebrew Roots movement studying the Jewishness of the Bible and the Jewish context for the New Testament, and in the Charismatic movement as typified by Bethel Church in Redding CA. Still not satisfied as the Spirit taught her about truths regarding things like the premortal existence and the importance of sacraments - Alisa then found herself in the Episcopal Church of America where she was a member for a decade before joining the Church of Jesus Christ.
Now Alisa seeks to use the experiences and lessons learned on her spiritual journey through many versions of Christianity to enrich her own experience and testimony as a member of the Church and loves to share the gifts she gained through those experiences with others.
