Ep 294Did Jesus Flirt? & How the SBC Got Played - Nala Ray Testimony & Biblical Worldview
In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate Cunningham dives into a heavy-hitting mix of theological controversy, cultural shifts, and the "playing" of the Southern Baptist Convention. We start with a look at the viral (and deeply unsettling) claim from a pastor suggesting Jesus was "flirting" with the Samaritan woman—even going as far as to redefine "living water" in a way that would make a Pharisee blush. Is this just "contextualizing" the Gospel, or have we finally reached peak theological cringe? Next, we discuss the radical transformation of former OnlyFans star Nala Ray. As she shares her testimony on the streets, we ask: why is the church so quick to judge the "prodigal daughter," and what does her story tell us about the power of the Gospel in the digital age? Finally, we break down the latest Arizona Christian University survey showing that a biblical worldview is effectively becoming an endangered species in America. If only 4% of adults actually think biblically, what exactly are the other 96% doing? Probably checking their stock options.

Ep 293Is St. Patrick Being CANCELLED? The Truth Behind the Irish President’s "Woke" Message
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! But is the real Saint Patrick being replaced by a globalist imitation? ☘️ In today’s episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate reacts to the Irish President’s controversial St. Patrick’s Day message. Why is the secular world trying to re-brand a fiery 5th-century missionary into a "globalist woke simp"? We’re digging into the political attempt to turn a story of Gospel transformation into a mere "migrant manifesto." Plus, we’re having some much-needed fun with the legendary Lutheran Satire video, "St. Patrick’s Bad Analogies." If you’ve ever used a shamrock, an egg, or water to explain the Trinity, find out why you might be an accidental heretic (don't worry, Patrick gets yelled at too!). Topics discussed: The Trinity vs. Bad Analogies: Why your Sunday School illustrations fail. Political Re-branding: Analyzing the Irish President’s 2026 St. Patrick’s Day speech. Missionary vs. Migrant: Reclaiming the actual legacy of the Apostle of Ireland. Christianity in the Modern West: Are we losing our holidays to secular globalism?

Ep 292Trump’s 2026 Prayer Event & The Father Wound: Are Christian Men Trading the Bible for Therapy?
In this intense episode of the Ask A Christian podcast, host Nate and the team dive into the controversial intersection of faith and modern culture. We break down the President's planned National Prayer Event on May 17, 2026, exploring the spiritual implications of rededicating America and the involvement of figures like Paula White. Then, we tackle the "Therapy Culture" taking over men's ministries. Are Christian men being conditioned to swap their "warrior" status for endless processing of "father wounds"? We discuss the fine line between healthy vulnerability and "false advertising" in the church. Plus, we examine the shocking origins of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles—did Shredder actually die in issue #1? And finally, a deep dive into the true meaning of "Turning the Other Cheek": Is it passive submission, or an ancient act of defiance? #askachristianpodcast #ChristianMen #FatherWound #Trump2026 #NationalPrayerDay #PaulaWhite #TMNT #Shredder #BiblicalManhood #TurningTheOtherCheek #FaithAndPolitics #Christianity #TheBible #WarriorForChrist #TherapyCulture Timestamps: 0:00 – Intro: Spring Break & "Ask a Tired Christian" 1:24 – The "Father Wound" obsession in Men's Ministry 5:39 – Warriors or Women?

Ep 291Are They Ignorant or Evil? Misquoting Scripture & Theological Tough Questions - Willful Sin
In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the group tackle the frustrating trend of skeptics and even some professing Christians quoting the Bible out of context to support secular agendas. We dive into the "Ignorant or Evil" debate—discerning whether people are simply misinformed or intentionally deceptive when it comes to Scripture. The conversation gets deep into the "Doctrine of God" as Chris explains the concept of God's sovereignty over all things, including the decree of evil. We also address the common atheist critique that "thoughts and prayers" are a hollow substitute for tangible action, referencing James 2:14 on faith and works. Finally, we explore the struggles of the "body of death" in Romans 7 and what it means to sin willfully as a believer.

Ep 290Is the Tradwife Trend Biblical? Therapy Culture, Sheryl Sandberg & Christian Men
What do Japanese cat dramas, a Silicon Valley billionaire, and your men's retreat have in common? More than you'd think — and Nate is here to connect the dots in this wide-ranging episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast. First up, Nate reacts to former Meta executive Sheryl Sandberg's fiery criticism of the tradwife trend, which she called sexist and harmful to women. But is she right? And what does the Bible actually say about womanhood, marriage, and domesticity? Spoiler: it's more nuanced than a TikTok aesthetic — and Scripture probably can't be fully captured in a 30-second reel of someone making sourdough in a prairie dress. Nate digs into the difference between the biblical Proverbs 31 woman and a social media lifestyle brand, and why Christians need to run every cultural trend through the filter of the Word rather than the algorithm. Then, inspired by a thought-provoking piece by J. Chase Davis titled "They Promised Basic Training. They Delivered Group Therapy." (read it at: https://www.jchasedavis.com/p/they-promised-basic-training-they), Nate tackles the quiet but growing infiltration of therapeutic culture into the Christian men's ministry space. When men show up expecting to be challenged and sharpened, why do they keep ending up in a circle processing their father wound? Is the church forming men — or just giving them a faith-flavored version of secular self-help? That leads naturally into the big question: Is Brené Brown actually good for Christian therapy? Her work on vulnerability and shame is everywhere — in churches, small groups, and counseling offices. But does her framework line up with a biblical understanding of sin, redemption, and identity in Christ? Or has the church unknowingly imported a self-oriented worldview dressed up in spiritual-sounding language? Heavy episode. Good episode. No sourdough was harmed in the making of it. 📚 Resources & Links: Sheryl Sandberg on the tradwife trend: https://www.foxnews.com/media/ex-meta-boss-sheryl-sandberg-rips-tradwife-trend-sexist-harmful-women J.

Ep 289Can a Democrat Be a Christian? Canada’s Euthanasia Scandal & Is King Charles Related to Dracula?
In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, we dive into the "Great Clarification" currently splitting the American church. Can you truly follow Jesus while remaining a member of the modern Democratic Party? We analyze the shocking resignation of Michigan State Rep. Karen Whitsett, who claims the party’s platform on gender and life is an affront to her soul. Then, we cross the border into a bioethical nightmare: New reports allege a Canadian grandmother was euthanized against her will after asking for palliative care. Is Canada’s MAID program becoming a state-sponsored "final solution" for the vulnerable? Finally, we trace the bloodline of the British Monarchy to see if King Charles III is actually related to the "real" Dracula, Vlad the Impaler. Was Vlad a holy defender of Christendom or just a medieval psychopath with a hobby for stakes? We wrap it all up with a deep dive into Matthew 13 and the Parable of the Sower—explaining why so many "Christians" eventually walk away from the faith. It’s politics, prophecy, and impalement—just your average Sunday morning conversation.

Ep 288The David French Controversy + 3 Hard Questions Every Christian Faces
In this packed episode, we analyze the fallout from David French’s defense of Representative James Talarico as a "wonderful Christian politician." Is French right, or is there a deeper theological misalignment? Beyond the headlines, we tackle the raw, essential questions of the faith: How can you truly know you are saved? Is God a "God of confusion" regarding the Tower of Babel? And how do we engage with the "angsty atheist" without losing our cool? We’re breaking down the politics, the polemics, and the power of the Gospel.

Ep 287Responding to Atheist Videos & What is Liberation Theology?
Is the "once saved, always saved" doctrine true, or can you actually lose your salvation through sin or apostasy? This week on the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the group take on some heavy theological boxing matches, diving into the warnings in Revelation about being blotted out of the Book of Life . We also dissect the history and dangers of Liberation Theology, exploring how it blends Marxism with the Gospel and why that's a problem for traditional Christianity. From a rant against Daylight Savings Time to a breakdown of a scandalous "crotch whipping" megachurch pastor , this episode covers it all. Plus, we watch a "affirming" pastor lose his temper and expose what might just be the actual reason people should get into the ring with theology!

Ep 286Exposing Biblical Illiteracy: Infowars, James Talarico, and the Truth About Esther
In this episode of the Ask A Christian podcast, host Nate dives deep into the growing wave of biblical illiteracy affecting both sides of the political aisle. From Infowars’ Harrison Smith misrepresenting the story of Purim to Texas Representative James Talarico’s controversial claims on the Joe Rogan Experience, we break down what the Bible actually says about Israel, abortion, and homosexuality. We tackle the tough questions: Did the Jews really slaughter 75,000 Persians for "no reason"? Does the Bible suggest life begins at first breath? And why is "consent" the wrong lens for understanding Mary’s role in the birth of Christ? Join us for a serious (and occasionally humorous) look at spiritual truth in a world of political spin.

Ep 285Does the United States Worship Satan? One Imam Thinks So - Jehovah’s Witnesses and the 144,000!
In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate dives into some genuinely baffling headlines and tough theological questions. We react to a Dearborn mosque holding a memorial for a "martyr" while accusing the US of being run by devil-worshipping Freemasons. In classic Babylon Bee fashion, we have to ask: if they truly believe this country worships Satan, shouldn't they... maybe leave?. We also cover the political demise of Dan Crenshaw and the peculiar news that International Women's Day events are being led by men (who identify as women, naturally). Later, special guest Michael joins us to dismantle common misconceptions about Jehovah's Witnesses, explaining their doctrine on the 144,000 "anointed" angels and why they don't actually believe in an eternal hell.

Ep 284Are Love and Respect the Keys to a Biblical Marriage? (Dr. Emerson Eggerichs Interview)
In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate welcomes special guest Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, PhD in family studies and acclaimed author of the best-selling book Love and Respect. Together, they explore a powerful and often misunderstood biblical truth that has the potential to transform any marriage, grounding their discussion in the timeless wisdom of Scripture. Dr. Eggerichs breaks down the core concepts from his research and ministry, including: The Crazy Cycle: Understanding how the dynamic "Without love, she reacts without respect. And without respect, he reacts without love" can trap couples in perpetual conflict. Pink and Blue Perspectives: Exploring the statistically significant differences in how men and women process conflict and perceive respect and love. The Power of the 'Gesture': Why men often show repentance through actions rather than words, and how wives can recognize these signs. Nate and Dr. Eggerichs also tackle difficult questions about modern marriage, including the role of happiness versus obedience to Scripture, why 80% of divorces are initiated by women, and why the grass isn't always greener after a divorce. They discuss the absolute necessity for Christ-followers to view their actions toward their spouse as an act of service to Jesus Christ Himself, emphasizing that true marital growth often begins with mature self-reflection on one’s own side of the biblical equation rather than pointing fingers.

Ep 283Iran War Analysis: A Christian Perspective on Conflict & "Jewish Space Lasers"
In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the crew provide a deep dive into the escalating conflict in Iran. We address the situation from a "Christian godly perspective," discussing the recent strikes that decapitated leadership, the history of the "Death to America" sentiment, and why loss of life—while always unfortunate—can sometimes be a necessary consequence of standing up to evil. We also tackle the controversial and bizarre "Jewish Space Lasers" narrative, exploring where these intersecting thoughts come from and how they fit into broader geopolitical camps. Plus, we discuss CNN's recent targeting of American believers, the Pope’s warnings to Trump, and whether the best path forward involves "ripping off the band-aid" to solve long-standing global issues.

Ep 282Paula White "$100K Blessing" Scam, Fake Witches, and Rebutting Internet Atheists
In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate flies solo (while Chris is potentially being abducted by the Illuminati) to break down the latest "Holy Nope" moments in the church. We start by reacting to common internet atheist arguments, exploring why "lacking a belief" often looks a lot like an emotional obsession with the God they claim doesn't exist. We also dismantle the "ex-pastor atheist" testimony, explaining why seeing Christians sin is actually a proof for our need for a Savior, not a reason to abandon the faith. Later, we dive into the disturbing headlines from the charismatic fringe. We discuss Paula White’s $100,000 "obedience" pitch—where she claims she won't even lay hands on people until they pay up (read more at: https://protestia.com/2026/02/27/paula-white-makes-disturbing-pitch-for-100k-im-not-gonna-lay-hands-on-people-till-youre-obedient/)—and we look at the video evidence surrounding Sean Feucht's claim of being attacked by a "witch" (details at: https://protestia.com/2026/02/27/sean-feucht-claims-he-was-attacked-by-a-witch-but-the-video-shows-something-different/).

Ep 281The Frankfurt School, Canada’s Same-Day Suicide & Candace Owens vs. The Kirks
In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the crew trace the "plague of feminism" and modern cultural decay back to its ideological roots in the Frankfurt School. We dive into how these Marxist concepts have infiltrated the West and even evangelical circles through figures like Tim Keller. We also discuss the shocking news out of Canada, where the government is now offering same-day assisted suicide—a level of "government efficiency" that is as efficient as it is tragic. Plus, we cover the legal win in Vermont for Christian foster parents, the bizarre "Bride of Charlie" series by Candace Owens targeting Erica Kirk, and why Nate believes the best form of government is a monarchy led by Jesus.

Ep 280Refuting Anti-Calvinist AI Book with Another AI Book & Viral “Holy Nope” Church Moments
In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate and the crew tackle the strange world of "Holy Nope" videos and high-tech theological debates. We break down the shocking footage of a Kentucky man’s roadside encounter with a deer and a pastor whose sermon illustration went horribly wrong—resulting in a knife sticking five inches out of his hand. Is this what "cutting-edge" ministry looks like? We also dive deep into the world of artificial intelligence and theology. Chris shares an AI-generated response to an anti-Calvinist AI book, sparking a discussion on whether Calvinism is truly biblical or if technology is just making our arguments more complicated. Whether you’re here for the viral madness or the TULIP talk, we’ve got you covered.

In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the crew dive into the controversial intersection of modern feminism and biblical counseling. We discuss the upcoming book by Dr. David Edgington, "White Knights and Reviling Wives," which explores how secular feminist ideals have infiltrated the church's approach to marriage. From the misuse of "mutual submission" to the dangers of private counseling sessions that exclude a spouse, we break down why a return to biblical patriarchy and male headship is essential for healthy Christian marriages. We also take a hard look at the recent headlines making waves in the Christian world, including the shocking 5-month sentence given to a 61-year-old street preacher for "body slamming" an immigrant, and a series of troubling reports regarding SBC pastors. Plus, we answer listener questions about being single in a modern world and what the Bible says to those who feel the Word is no longer relevant.

Ep 278Secondary Issues Part 2: Church Governance, Lady Pastors, & Bible Versions
In this episode, Nate and the team dive back into the "Secondary Issues" list to explore more topics that often cause friction within the church without being salvation-level essentials. We tackle church governance (Elder-led vs. Episcopal), the biblical case for male leadership in the pastorate, and why your choice of Bible translation might not be as "authorized" as you think. Nate also breaks down the "Young Earth vs. Old Earth" debate and looks at the cultural landscape of "historical" claims being taught in schools today. Is it misogyny to follow Paul’s instructions on lady pastors, or is there a chronological logic rooted in creation?

Ep 277Secondary Issues & Spiritual Battles: Why Christians Fight Over Non-Essentials
In this episode, host Nate is joined by Chris and Lou to tackle one of the most persistent problems in the church: why Christians fight so much over "secondary issues". From eschatology and spiritual gifts to the heated debates of Calvinism vs. Arminianism, we dive into why these non-essential doctrines often cause more friction than our outreach to the world. We explore the biblical roots of these quarrels—pointing to James 4 and 2 Timothy 6—to understand how internal passions and "selfish desires" lead to dissension among believers. The team also breaks down the "Top 10" secondary issues, including: Eschatology: Pre-trib vs. Post-trib and the interpretation of Revelation. Spiritual Gifts: The divide between Continuationism and Cessationism. Soteriology: The "spicy" debate between Calvinism and Arminianism. Church Practices: Baptism (infant vs. believer), women in ministry, and even Bible translation preferences. Nate also shares a "train wreck" start involving AI house bands and a look at some "Holy Nope" videos.

Ep 276Ash Wednesday, Marriage Restoration, and What is Nouthetic Counseling? | Ask A Christian
In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the crew dive into the traditions of Ash Wednesday and Lent, discussing whether these practices are biblical or merely "cosplaying" as Old Testament rituals. We also take a look at the recent headlines surrounding Carl and Laura Lentz's new book on overcoming infidelity and what biblical restoration actually looks like. Finally, we explore the concept of Nouthetic Counseling—what is it, why is it rooted in the Greek word for "admonish," and why does modern psychology often have a "breathtaking" disdain for biblical-based instruction?

Ep 275Is Life Unfair? Why Jesus Paid the Debt You Couldn't (Atonement & The Fall Explained)
In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the group dive into the heavy hitters of Christian theology. Is life fair? (Spoiler alert: No, but grace isn't "fair" either, and we should probably be thankful for that) . We tackle the big questions: If God is just, why do "bad" things happen to "good" people—and are any of us actually "good" to begin with?. We explore penal substitutionary atonement, the difference between temporal consequences and eternal punishment, and the mind-blowing "Covenant of Redemption"—the idea that the Cross wasn't Plan B, but Plan A before the world even began. Whether you're a seasoned theologian or just wondering why your Tesla is hacking your phone calls, join us for a deep (and slightly sardonic) look at the Gospel.

Ep 274Tim Allen’s Bible Journey, Same-Sex Marriage Debates & Can Murderers Be Men After God’s Heart?
In this episode of the Ask A Christian podcast, host Nate and the crew dive into a weekend packed with news and deep theological questions. We start with a lighthearted (and slightly tragic) Valentine’s Day recap involving lost reservations, overpriced veal, and a bizarre story about a woman who "outsourced her breakup to the clergy" by putting her ex on church prayer lists. Shifting to the headlines, we discuss actor Tim Allen’s recent viral comments about being "amazed" after reading the entire Bible and Jen Lilley’s new ministry vision. We also break down the Church of England’s General Synod vote regarding same-sex marriage blessings and the resurgence of the "anti-Shariah" movement in the GOP. Finally, we tackle a heavy listener question: How can King David, a man guilty of adultery and murder, still be called "a man after God’s own heart"? We explore the difference between God's grace and the earthly consequences of sin. 📚 Resources & Links: Church of England Marriage Vote: Church of England Synod votes against blessing same-sex marriage - https://www.christianpost.com/news/church-of-england-synod-votes-against-blessing-same-sex-marriage.html Tim Allen’s Bible Journey: Actor Tim Allen ‘Amazed’ After Reading the Entire Bible - https://www.faithwire.com/2026/02/06/actor-tim-allen-amazed-after-reading-the-entire-bible-delivers-powerful-message/ Jen Lilley’s New Ministry: Actor Jen Lilley Launching New Ministry After ‘Vision’ - https://www.faithwire.com/2026/02/12/hollywood-actor-jen-lilley-launching-new-ministry-after-vision-from-holy-spirit/ Anti-Shariah Caucus News: New GOP caucus signals resurgence of anti-Shariah movement - https://religionnews.com/2026/02/13/sharia-free-caucus-a-sign-the-anti-muslim-movement-is-back/ Timestamps: 0:00 - Call Center for Christ: Nate’s janky new microphone 1:34 - Valentine’s Day Woes: Lost reservations and overpriced steak 13:30 - The "Tortured Baby Animal" (Veal) debate 18:40 - Tesla Tire Troubles: A Cybertruck roadside rescue 21:50 - Outsourcing your breakup to the church prayer list 30:20 - Atheist trolls and the "Christian Slavery" argument 34:10 - Church of England: The $2.8M debate on same-sex blessings 48:45 - Master Prophets & Senior Pastors: Are church titles out of order? 57:10 - The History of Christian Rap (1946?!) 1:24:10 - Islam vs. Political Systems: The Shariah-Free Caucus 1:25:20 - Gen Z Slang: What is "Aura Farming"? 1:28:30 - David: How a murderer remains a "Man After God’s Own Heart" 1:41:20 - Outro: Visit AskAChristianPodcast.com Hashtags: #AskAChristianPodcast #Christianity #Bible #Faith #TimAllen #ChurchOfEngland #Apologetics #KingDavid #Grace #ChristianNews #Theology #Marriage #ValentinesDay #ShariaLaw #BibleStudy
Ep 273Is Rejecting Zionism Anti-Semitic? Catholic Fired from Trump Commission
🎙️ On this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the crew tackle the explosive controversy surrounding Carrie Prejean Boller — the Catholic commissioner who was removed from President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission after pressing rabbis and Jewish witnesses on whether rejecting Zionism automatically makes someone anti-Semitic. She wouldn’t back down. They wouldn’t give a straight answer. And now she’s gone. Was she “hijacking a hearing for her own political agenda” as the commission chair claims, or was she asking the question everyone’s thinking? Nate lays out his position: he’s on the side of whoever doesn’t want to murder people. Radical stuff. The episode kicks off with a five-question Bible quiz about Jesus — and Nate promptly disputes the quiz-maker’s very first answer. (Spoiler: the sword comes from His mouth, sir. Revelation 19:15. We fact-checked you.) Then listener Evette asks a great question: Why do Jews consider the line of ethnic Jewishness broken when a Jewish man marries a Gentile woman — especially since Jesus Himself came from the line of Ruth, a Moabitess? Sean drops serious knowledge on Hebrew vs. Jewish identity, the line of Eber, matrilineal descent, and the distinction between being a Hebrew and being part of the covenant of Israel. Finally, the big theological throwdown: Why do other Christians hate on Calvinists so much? Nate draws on 14 years of experience in these debates to explain that Calvinism’s biggest problem might just be its PR department. Chris offers the reformed perspective, pointing to widespread misunderstanding of covenant theology as the root of the hostility. The practical takeaway? Calvinists and non-Calvinists preach the same gospel and arrive at the same conclusions about who’s saved — they only differ on the behind-the-scenes mechanics. The real enemy isn’t each other — it’s the popcorn-eating atheist watching Christians fight. Also featured: Nate’s microphone staging a full rebellion, Sean’s Foghorn Leghorn impression, a teen who committed murder over French fries (please share your fries, people), and a brief but important point about why Mary being “full of grace” doesn’t mean what Catholic apologists think it means — because Acts says the exact same thing about Stephen. Happy Valentine’s Day from the Ask A Christian Podcast — where the love is real, the mics are unreliable, and the theology runs deep. ❤️ 📚 Resources & Links: Bible Question Quiz video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/C4_z9iKVg1A Carrie Prejean Boller’s comments on Zionism: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUpAbUvAcWq/ Carrie Prejean Boller removed from Religious Liberty Commission: https://catholicreview.org/carrie-prejean-boller-removed-from-religious-liberty-commission-after-antisemitism-row/ Miss Rachel discussion video: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1E4tRvbBzE/ For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com TIMESTAMPS Plain Text Copy 00:00 - Intro 01:28 - Bible quiz: Five questions about Jesus 04:03 - Disputing question one: What does Jesus hold when He returns? 05:05 - Who talked most about hell in the Bible? 06:10 - Who was Jesus's first disciple? 07:29 - Jesus's last miracle before crucifixion 08:46 - What does Jesus's name mean in Hebrew? 15:13 - Carrie Prejean Boller fired from Trump's Religious Liberty Commission 23:21 - Is rejecting Zionism the same as anti-semitism? 30:00 - Mary "full of grace" — the Stephen comparison Catholics can't answer 35:48 - Why do Jews say Jewish identity breaks through Gentile marriage? 41:36 - Hebrew vs. Jewish identity and the line of Ruth 1:04:41 - Why do other Christians hate on Calvinists so much? 1:11:27 - Covenant theology and Calvinism's PR problem 1:29:10 - Does the Calvinist vs. non-Calvinist debate even matter?

Ep 272What Is Lapsarianism? (Millicent Sedra, AI Hoaxes, and the Future of AGI)
In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and guest Chris dive into a wide-ranging discussion on theology, technology, and cultural discernment. We start by looking at the viral preaching of Millicent Sedra and discuss the biblical perspectives on women in the pulpit. Then, we get into the "niche" but fascinating world of Reformed theology to answer: What is Lapsarianism? We break down the logical order of God’s decrees—specifically Supralapsarianism vs. Infralapsarianism—and why Chris finds himself leaning toward Sublapsarianism. On the tech front, Chris shares his hands-on experience with "Moltbot" (formerly Open Claw), a precursor to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) that can actually run your computer for you like a real-life Jarvis. We also debunk recent viral AI hoaxes about "AI social media" and "AI religions," while discussing the real-world frustrations of rate limits and the massive computing power required for the future of AI. Plus, Chris gives a real-time update while his car navigates him to Chick-fil-A—including how the "self-driving" AI reacts when it knows you're talking about other AIs!

Ep 271How Can God Die? + The Logos Bible Software Controversy & The Catholic Exodus from X
In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate dives into the deep theological waters of the Incarnation to answer a question that has stumped skeptics and believers alike: How can an immortal God die? We break down the mechanics of the hypostatic union and why the answer matters for your salvation. But it’s not all ancient theology—we’re also tackling the digital age's most recent "Christian cancellations." From the Logos Bible Software controversy involving "racist" discounts and LGBTQ-affirming authors to the Catholic Archdiocese of Liverpool announcing its departure from Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) for "ethical and moral reasons," we ask the hard question: Should Christians stay in the digital public square or head for the hills? Plus, we explore an Episcopal pastor’s controversial comments on her daughters' "access" to abortion and take a listener's question on whether the Bible truly teaches that women are equal to men. It’s an episode packed with truth, a little bit of "Bee-style" irony, and the answers you actually need. 📚 Resources & Links: Theological Breakdown: How Can God Die?

Ep 270Questions Christians Can’t Answer? (The Problem of Evil, Trinity, and Free Will)
Can Christians truly provide logical answers to life's toughest questions, or do they just hide behind "mystery"? In this episode, Nate, Chris, and Sean tackle the heavy hitters: the logical problem of the Trinity, the existence of evil in a world governed by an all-powerful God, and whether divine omniscience cancels out human free will. The team dives deep into the nuances of "compatibilism" to explain how God's decree and human responsibility coexist. They also dismantle the "Logical Problem of the Trinity," arguing that the biblical view of a triune God is the only framework that truly accounts for both the "one and the many" in our reality. Finally, the guys pivot to a heated debate on the SAVE Act and Real ID—discussing whether these government mandates are necessary for election integrity or just the next brick in a "dystopian Lego castle" of surveillance. 📚 Resources & Links Evil and Theodicy by Cornelius Van Til: https://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/sdg/vantil/Evil%20And%20Theodicy%20-%20Cornelius%20Van%20Til.pdf Ask A Christian Podcast Website: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com ⏳ Timestamps 0:00 – Intro: Like, share, and subscribe! 0:14 – Can Christians actually answer "unanswerable" questions? 1:56 – Understanding "mystery" vs. "ignorance" in theology 3:55 – The Problem of Evil: Did God decree baby cancer? 6:25 – Primary vs. Secondary Causation: Why humans are liable for evil 8:30 – Is free will the "punt" answer to suffering? 9:40 – Why the atheist can’t even define "good" 14:30 – The Socratic Method: Dealing with "brainwashed" ideologies 16:41 – The Logical Problem of the Trinity: Why some versions fail 19:24 – The Biblical Trinity: Solving the "one and the many" 20:47 – Defining terms: One God, three distinct persons 24:02 – Tracing the Trinity from Genesis to the New Testament 25:05 – If God knows the future, do we have free will? 33:51 – Debunking the "Emerald Tablet" and ancient alien theories 49:45 – Real ID and the threat of a National ID database 58:40 – Government incompetence vs. targeted competence 1:01:10 – The "Lego Castle of Evil": Slippery slopes to a digital dungeon 1:16:26 – The SAVE Act: Election integrity or voter disenfranchisement? 1:29:42 – Final Pitch: Why Real ID and the SAVE Act create mission creep 1:41:00 – Discussion wrap-up: Voting machines, fraud, and the future Hashtags: #AskAChristianPodcast #Christianity #Apologetics #ProblemOfEvil #Trinity #FreeWill #BibleStudy #Theology #FaithQuestions #GodsGlory #Calvinism #SaveAct #RealID #ChristianLife #Truth
Ep 269National Prayer Breakfast & Guardian Blasphemy | Why So Many Different Bible Translations?
In this episode of the Ask a Christian Podcast, Nate breaks down the fallout from the National Prayer Breakfast, contrasting Donald Trump’s theological statements with what can only be described as the "blasphemous mockery" and "devil's pact" claims coming from the political left and mainstream media like The Guardian. We discuss the spiritual state of a nation where the "Holy Spirit" is used as a political punchline and tragedy strikes in the most mundane places. In the second half, we get into the heavy lifting of biblical scholarship. Why are there so many different Bible translations? Is it a conspiracy, or is it evidence of the Bible's incredible preservation? We explore the "Queen James Bible," the Codex Sinaiticus, and the provocative history of why some religious texts (like the Quran) were burned to hide differences while the Bible remains an open book of history. 0:00 Intro: Trust me, bro, hit the button! 0:39 National Prayer Breakfast: Assessing Trump’s "Good Person" theology 1:08 The Gospel Check: What actually gets you to heaven? 3:14 The Guardian’s Blasphemy: Unpacking the "Devil's Pact" narrative 4:04 Spiritual Decay: The Olive Garden tragedy and national health 8:43 Political Blasphemy: Comparing lawyers to the Holy Spirit 14:27 Why Moses was barred from the Promised Land: A lesson in obedience 19:50 The Sin of Numbers 20: Moses, the rock, and the consequences of disobedience 26:39 Modern Miracles: Does God still part Red Seas today? 44:43 Translation Wars: Why are there so many versions of the Bible? 51:12 The Queen James Bible: Political agendas vs. Sacred Text 53:48 Denominations: Why do Christians have so many secondary differences? 59:10 Bible History: What is a Codex and how were the first books organized? 1:00:54 The Codex Sinaiticus: Exploring the world’s oldest Bible online 1:03:11 Christianity vs. Islam: Textual honesty vs. the burning of the Quran under Uthman 1:03:17 The Uthman Deception: Why the Quran was burned to hide textual variants 1:14:26 Honesty in Scripture: The "Long Ending" of Mark and textual integrity 📚 Resources & Links: Guardian Article: The way, the Trump and the lies: prayer breakfast displays US right’s devil’s pact - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/05/trump-religious-right-republicans Flashback: Ana Navarro to Avenatti: ‘You’re Like the Holy Spirit’ - https://grabien.com/story?id=342257 News Story: Olive Garden Cook Deep Fryer Incident - https://alto.gab.com/feed/ijr Manuscript Research: Codex Sinaiticus Online - http://www.codexsinaiticus.org Bible Tool: Compare Translations - https://www.biblegateway.com Hashtags #AskAChristianPodcast #NationalPrayerBreakfast #BibleTranslations #TheGuardian #Apologetics #IslamVsChristianity #Quran #CodexSinaiticus #GospelTruth #Christianity #BibleStudy #Theology #SpiritualWarfare #FaithQuestions #Scripture
Ep 268Is the Left Becoming More Radical? (The K-Means Study & The Elijah Schaffer Scandal) & 1 Kings 19
In this episode of the Ask A Christian podcast, host Nate and "Church Father" Chris dive into a massive new study on issue polarization. Using K-means clustering, researchers tracked US trends from 1988–2024 and found that while the American Right has stayed relatively consistent, the Left has shifted significantly further toward radicalism. We discuss what this means for the "Overton Window" and how cultural issues are driving division globally. We also tackle the exploding controversy surrounding conservative commentator Elijah Schaffer and the "tradwife" movement. From allegations of an affair with influencer Sarah Setka to public meltdowns involving "black helicopters," we look at the irony and the fallout of this public crisis.

Ep 267White Supremacy & Racial Pride vs. Boasting in the Lord & The Truth About Verbal Plenary Inspiration
In this episode, Nate and the crew dive into the cultural obsession with "pride" and whether racial identity has a place in the life of a believer. From the double standards of "white supremacy" dog whistles to the biblical command to boast only in the Lord, we explore how Christians should navigate heritage without falling into the trap of sinful pride. Stick around as we shift gears into some lighthearted "food nonsense"—from the mysteries of Mexican Tajín seasoning to the "locust-like" eating habits of hungry teenagers. Finally, we tackle the heavy-duty theological topic of Verbal Plenary Inspiration (VPI).

Ep 266Rosa Parks Was a Communist? Nephilim Proven! + How Christians Should Handle Disputes
Is the history we are taught in schools the full story, or a carefully crafted narrative? In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the team dive into the "Day 1" expose of Black History Month, examining evidence that suggests Rosa Parks' iconic bus moment may have been a calculated move by radical political groups. We then pivot to a massive archaeological find: a 3,300-year-old Egyptian document that provides extra-biblical evidence for the existence of the Nephilim. If the Bible is right about the giants, what else is it right about? Finally, we address a growing scandal in the modern church. With charismatic leaders threatening to sue apologist Mike Winger, we look at 1 Corinthians 6 to answer the ultimate question: How should Christians handle disputes? Should believers ever take each other to secular courts, or are we called to a higher standard? 🕒 Episode Timestamps 00:00:00 – Intro: Welcome to the show & hit subscribe! 00:01:16 – Christian Leaders vs. Mike Winger: The lawsuit controversy. 00:02:53 – Rosa Parks Expose: Was it a planned publicity stunt? 00:06:03 – The radical political ties behind the civil rights icon. 00:10:06 – 1 Corinthians 6: Why Christians shouldn't sue each other. 00:16:40 – The high cost of seeking "justice" in secular courts. 00:22:43 – Nephilim Proven: The 3,300-year-old Egyptian document. 00:35:12 – The genetic reality of the "Seed of the Serpent." 00:55:20 – Spiritual warfare and the intersection of modern headlines. 01:08:50 – Goblins for Jesus?

Ep 265What Is the Actual Point of the Bible? What Does the Bible Really Say About Tithing?
Does the Bible actually matter for your daily life, or is it just a "self-help" tool? In this episode, Nate goes back to basics to answer a fundamental question: What is the actual point of the Bible? We strip away the fluff to discuss reconciliation, the glory of God, and how the Gospel moves us from death to life. We also dive deep into the "long ending" of Mark 16, discussing textual criticism and whether there are "errors" in the Bible. Finally, we tackle the heavy hitter: What does the Bible really say about tithing? Is it a mandatory 10% legalistic obligation, or is there a more biblical way to approach giving in the New Testament? In this episode, we discuss: The ultimate purpose of Scripture: Reconciliation and God's glory. The "Great Commission" and the disputed ending of Mark 16. Textual criticism: Can we trust the Bible despite manuscript variations? Tithing vs. Generosity: Moving from "Gross vs. Net" to cheerful, sacrificial giving.

Ep 264Heretical Pastors, Pro-Life Billboard Trucks, and Finding a Godly Spouse
In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate dives into the chaotic world of modern "Christendom" and the cultural shifts driving people toward Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. We examine a viral debate with a pro-abortion "pastor" who denies the divinity of Jesus and discuss how a focus on superficial masculine energy can sometimes lead believers toward doctrinally damaged traditions. We also cover the debut of a striking new LED billboard truck on Capitol Hill that exposes the reality of abortion directly in front of Planned Parenthood. Later, we address a difficult question from a listener: Can a genuine believer live in sin and remain in Christ?. We conclude with a direct conversation on how single women can find a godly man by first focusing on biblical obedience and becoming the type of rare, God-fearing woman men are searching for. 📚 Resources & Links: Debate with Pro-Abortion Pastor: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/14WvsPGNdBW/ LED Billboard Truck Debut: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1JuSchqazQ/ Article: How to Witness Well in Post-Christian America - https://www.christianitytoday.com/2026/01/christian-witness-in-post-christian-age/ Visit our website: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction & Podcast Announcements 1:06 - Reacting to a Pro-Abortion "Pastor" who Denies Jesus’ Divinity 2:52 - Is Modern Evangelicalism Driving People to Catholicism? 6:44 - The "EO Bro" Trend: Masculinity vs. Sound Doctrine 8:58 - Pro-Life LED Billboard Truck Debuts on Capitol Hill 13:13 - Responding to Listeners and "Bot" Comments 15:31 - The Future of Ownership: Robo Taxis and Kill Switches 21:17 - Discussing the Arrest of Don Lemon 31:33 - Can a Believer Live in Sin and Remain in Christ? 34:02 - Reviewing Christianity Today: Witnessing in a Post-Christian Age 53:38 - Single & 38: Advice for Women Looking for a Godly Man 58:28 - Why Godly Conservative Women are a Rare Treasure 1:00:35 - Closing Thoughts on Faith and Obedience Hashtags #AskAChristianPodcast #Christianity #ProLife #Apologetics #Faith #BibleStudy #Gospel #Salvation #ProLifeTruck #ChristianLiving #JesusIsGod #Trinity #FaithQuestions #GodlyMarriage #SpiritualTruth
Ep 263Hecklers, Female Archbishops, & Was Shakespeare a Black Jewish Woman?
In this episode of the Ask A Christian podcast, host Nate dives into the viral chaos at St. Paul’s Cathedral as a heckler interrupts the historic swearing-in of Dame Sarah Mullally, the first female Archbishop of Canterbury. We break down the theological firestorm surrounding her appointment and why global Anglican leaders are calling it "devastating". Then, we shift gears to a bizarre new literary claim: Was William Shakespeare actually a Black, Jewish woman named Emilia Bassano?. We examine the evidence behind this theory and what it says about our modern obsession with "reimagining" history. Plus, we tackle a tough Jennifer Welch controversy regarding "white evangelical Christianity" and close with a deep-dive "Ask A Christian" question: How can you tell the difference between the Holy Spirit’s conviction and religious guilt or fear?. Is God nudging you toward grace, or is a "religious" spirit weighing you down with shame?.

Ep 262How Much Power Do Demons Have? How to Get Rid of Them + Are Angels Sinless? (Ask A Christian)
Are demons as powerful as Hollywood makes them out to be, or have we been misled by horror movies? In this episode of the Ask A Christian podcast, Nate and the crew break down the biblical reality of the supernatural. We explore how to actually cast out demons (it’s not what you see in the movies), the true extent of demonic power, and the terrifying account of the Witch of Endor. We also tackle a deep theological mystery: Are angels sinless? We discuss the concept of "elect angels" and whether the window for angelic rebellion has closed forever. Plus, we dive into the recent controversy surrounding William Lane Craig and his claims about the Virgin Birth, the absolute minimum requirement for salvation, and whether your dead loved ones can actually see or hear you from the afterlife. Inside this episode: Exorcism vs. Hollywood: How the Bible says demons are actually cast out. The Power of Suggestion: Where psychology ends and the demonic begins.

Ep 261Biblical Borders or No Borders? + The Tim Walz Satanist Plaque "Thank You" | Ask A Christian
Ever wonder if the Bible actually says we should tear down all the fences? Today on Ask A Christian, host Nate tackles the "no borders" argument currently circulating through the pews. We dive into why God seemed so interested in tribal real estate in the Old Testament and whether the Great Commission really means a free-for-all at the national border. We also explore the "miracle" in El Salvador under Nayib Bukele, the dangers of "Toxic Empathy" (analyzing Allie Beth Stuckey’s latest book), and a "Democratic Coalition of Satan Worshippers" plaque thanking Tim Walz. Yes, you read that right.

Ep 260Charismatic Apocalypse? The Bethel Scandal Recap & The “Peaceful” Monk Controversy
In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate returns to the YouTube "cesspool" to recap the heated fallout from the recent "Buddhist Peace Walk" vs. "Street Preacher" discussion. While critics claim a quiet walk is the definition of peace, we explore why a warning about spiritual danger—like a sign on a cliff—is the ultimate act of love. The conversation takes a turn toward the "Charismatic Apocalypse" currently rocking the church. We break down Mike Winger’s massive 2026 exposé on Shawn Bolz and Bethel Church’s subsequent public apology. From "prophetic" data-mining to the crisis of accountability in popular movements, we ask the hard questions: Is the movement finally cleaning house, or is the brush just getting broader? Finally, we dive into Romans 13 to discuss biblical submission to authority and what it means to truly be a "brother" or "sister" in Christ. In this episode, we discuss: YouTube Comment Recap: Addressing the "insecure bully" accusations and political "mind viruses". The Bethel Scandal: The 2026 fallout from the Shawn Bolz data-mining revelations and Bethel's late repentance. Romans 13 & Submission: Does God institute every government, even the "unjust" ones?

Ep 259Can You Save Yourself? (Preaching Jesus vs. Buddhist Peace Walk)
In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate and the crew dive into the viral "Christian resistance" to a Buddhist monk walk for peace in South Carolina. Is it "unloving" to tell someone they are headed for hell, or is it the ultimate act of compassion?. We break down the street preaching clip everyone is talking about and discuss why "amorphous peace" without Jesus is just a scenic route to a lake of fire. Later, we tackle a deep-dive listener question on sanctification: how do you know if you're actually "doing enough" to show you're saved?. Plus, Chris interrupts our theological contemplation to worship his new Tesla in "Mad Max" self-driving mode—proving that even if you can't drive yourself to heaven, you can at least weave through traffic at 15 over the limit. We wrap up with a look at the "Devil's Daughter" on TikTok and why 1 John 1:8 is the ultimate cure for the cult of sinless perfection.

Ep 258Will AI Become the Ultimate Bible Interpreter? (Harari’s Davos Warning) Is AI the God of Religion?
In this eye-opening episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate dives into the latest "unholy convening" at Davos 2026. We dissect the chilling claims made by Yuval Noah Harari, who suggests that because religions are "made of words," Artificial Intelligence will inevitably become the ultimate authority and interpreter of holy texts like the Bible. Nate offers a bold biblical rebuttal: Christianity isn't based on mere "words on a page," but on the Logos—the living person of Jesus Christ and real-world experiential data. The conversation shifts to the desperate need for Christian discipleship in an age of "Evang-jellyfish" churches. We discuss a "quick start guide" for new believers: reading the New Testament five times to build a rock-solid foundation before getting lost in the weeds of secondary doctrines. Later, we tackle listener questions on Eschatology—including the Four Horsemen, the Book of Revelation, and whether these prophecies are literal or symbolic. Finally, we address a controversial Life News article featuring the Planned Parenthood CEO and the moral clarity required for Christians regarding abortion. Whether you're dodging AI priests or trying to understand the Seven Churches of Revelation, this episode provides the biblical discernment you need to stay grounded. 📚 Resources & Links: Article: Planned Parenthood CEO: I’m Teaching My Daughters It’s OK to Kill Babies in Abortions - https://www.lifenews.com/2023/01/20/planned-parenthood-ceo-im-teaching-my-daughters-its-ok-to-kill-babies-in-abortions/ For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com Intro song: Word on Fire: https://open.spotify.com/track/4DxeKWYzXb2GLojZuBx1iw?si=60cabde6947a42af Timestamps 00:00 - Intro 00:48 - Yuval Noah Harari and the Davos "Super Villains" 04:07 - AI Taking Over Religion: Harari’s Thesis 06:23 - The Logos vs. AI: Why Jesus isn't just "words" 08:43 - Experience vs. Words: The Exodus and Empirical Data 14:05 - What is the Gospel?

Ep 257Is Interracial Marriage Sinful? Trump’s Greenland Standoff & Was Paul the Antichrist?
Join us on the Ask A Christian Podcast as Nate and the crew dive into a theological and political minefield that would make even the most seasoned diplomat break out in a cold sweat. We start with the bizarre trend of storming churches in Minnesota—because apparently, "loving your neighbor" now involves disrupting their Sunday service. We also take a look at Texas politician James Talarico’s mission to "reclaim" Christianity for the progressive left. Spoiler alert: finding "Jesus-approved" abortion in the Greek manuscripts is about as easy as finding a modest outfit at a drag queen story hour. The conversation gets even more heated as we tackle the recent firestorm over Christian Nationalism and interracial marriage. Is race an idol in some corners of the church, or are we just misreading Genesis 10? Plus, we break down President Trump’s "extraordinary" letter to Norway and Denmark. It turns out that not getting a Nobel Peace Prize is the perfect justification for eyeing Greenland’s mineral wealth—because if you can’t have the medal, you might as well have the island. Finally, we address a BitChute scholar’s thesis that the Apostle Paul was actually the original Antichrist. If you’ve ever felt like Paul’s run-on sentences were a sign of the end times, this segment is for you. We wrap up with a "simple" plan to save America involving the gold standard, term limits, and a healthy dose of accountability.

Ep 256Is Mary Sinless? Refuting Dogma with Scripture & Minneapolis Church Swarmed with Rioters!
In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and guest Chris dive into the recent chaotic "peaceful storming" of a Minneapolis church involving disgraced former CNN anchor Don Lemon and a radical anti-ICE mob. We discuss the potential criminal violations and whether the DOJ will finally apply the FACE Act (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act) to protect religious services, or if it will remain a one-sided tool for prosecuting pro-life activists. We also tackle a listener's question: How can we biblically refute the Catholic claim of Mary’s sinlessness?. We explore Romans 3:23, the logical "infinite regress" of sinless parents, and the theological differences between parental and covenantal lineage. Finally, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we reflect on his most vital contribution—judging by the content of character rather than the color of skin—while acknowledging the irony of "woke" clergy storming Target headquarters to sing spirituals.

Ep 255Is the Bible Inerrant? What Is the Queen James Bible? (Verbal Plenary Inspiration & Woke Trek)
Is the Bible truly the inerrant Word of God, or just a really long game of "Telephone" played across several millennia? This week on the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate and Oliver dive deep into the weeds of Verbal Plenary Inspiration (VPI) and why some Christians think a few "Aram" vs. "Syria" translation choices are enough to sink the whole ship. We break down Article VIII of the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy and find out if Oliver is secretly a "devil in disguise" for refusing to parrot specific academic phrases. We also take a field trip into the bizarre world of the Queen James Bible (QJB)—the "big, fabulous" edit that claims the word "homosexuality" didn't exist until 1946 while strategically ignoring about a hundred other verses. From Amazon reviews to "clobber passages," we discuss why you can't just "context-twist" your way out of thousands of years of theology. Finally, we mourn the death of common sense in entertainment as Paramount’s "Woke Trek" (Starfleet Academy) premieres to a staggering 1,300 viewers on YouTube. Apparently, replacing thoughtful sci-fi with teen drama and "space activism" isn't the ratings gold mine executives thought it was. Stick around for a discussion on identity in Christ, why "Chrislam" is a non-starter, and why Lou's "bundle of sticks" definition is technically correct (even if he deleted it). 📚 Resources & Links: Middle East Tomorrow (Rabbi Nagen & Imam Manassra): https://partners.foxnews.com/media/from-startup-nation-to-startup-region-ykgemn Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy: https://library.dts.edu/Pages/TL/Special/ICBI_1.pdf Paramount Star Trek Viewership Flop: https://notthebee.com/article/paramount-only-gets-1300-live-viewers-after-putting-premiere-of-woke-new-star-trek-show-on-youtube Ask A Christian Website: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 01:36 - Discussing "Krishlam" and Middle East interfaith dialogue 10:37 - Analyzing the Rabbi Yakov Nagen & Imam Rasen Manassra interview 20:45 - What is Verbal Plenary Inspiration?

Ep 254Did Feminism Destroy the Roman Empire? (Was Renee Good a Martyr?)
Is Christianity actually just rebranded witchcraft that took down the Roman Empire, or have the "red pill" historians finally spent too much time in the gym and not enough in the library? This week on the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate, Chris, and guest Random dive into the tragic Minneapolis shooting of Renee Good, who the PCUSA is currently comparing to MLK—proving once again that if you want to be a martyr in 2026, you just need a maroon SUV and a very confused Presbyterian committee. We also tackle the high-stakes world of Catholic youth basketball brawls, why stealing rifles from federal agents is generally a "bad career move," and whether the "Trail of Blood" is a legitimate history book or just a really long list of people who weren’t actually Baptists. Come for the church history on the Albigensian Crusades, stay for the realization that the Roman Empire rotted from greed and lead pipes, not because the Apostle Paul was a secret feminist. 📚 Resources & Links: Renee Good Martyr Article: https://religionnews.com/2026/01/13/renee-good-was-a-martyr-for-her-faith-like-mlk-say-presbyterians/ Minneapolis Rioters Rifle Theft: https://notthebee.com/article/watch-these-minneapolis-rioters-steal-a-rifle-from-a-federal-agents-vehicle- The Think Institute (Joel Settecase): https://www.youtube.com/@TheThinkInstitute For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 01:06 - Parents brawl at Catholic youth basketball game 03:40 - Trump, Rand Paul, and the Ford plant tour 08:15 - 2,000 Years of Christ’s Power and the Inquisition 12:13 - The Albigensian Crusades and Gnostic heretics 13:30 - Supreme Court and the definition of a woman 16:45 - The "Trail of Blood" and Baptist history myths 19:02 - Renee Good: Christian Martyr or Political Football? 32:46 - BitChute vs. The Truth: Did Christianity destroy Rome? 45:29 - Refuting the "Feminism Killed Rome" polemic 1:05:40 - ICE Use of Force: Analyzing the shooting video 1:12:13 - Mentally ill criminals and the need for asylums 1:24:55 - The ICE mission vs. activist interference 1:31:05 - Minneapolis rioters stealing rifles from federal vans 1:40:39 - Enoch Burke released from prison in Ireland Hashtags: #AskAChristianPodcast #Christianity #Bible #Faith #Apologetics #ReneeGood #Minneapolis #ICE #ChurchHistory #Rome #History #FreeSpeech #Presbyterian #ChristianMartyr #TheThinkInstitute
Ep 253Is Feminism Destroying Society? Patriarchy, Politics & Calvinism Debate Gets Heated
In this episode of Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the crew tackle some of the most contentious cultural and theological debates happening today. Is the rise of radical feminism actually making people want a return to biblical patriarchy? We dive into the Minneapolis protests, white liberal activism, and what happens when women reject their God-given roles. The conversation heats up when discussing Scott Adams' (Dilbert creator) reported deathbed conversion to Christianity — is it real or just another celebrity claim? We break down what genuine conversion looks like and why fame doesn't matter to God. Then we shift gears into deep theology: monergism vs synergism in the Calvinism debate. Can you lose your salvation? Is faith a gift from God or a human choice? We explore Romans, John, and the biblical case for both positions while keeping it real about where Christians disagree. The episode takes a controversial turn discussing the Lily Phillips OnlyFans situation — can someone claim to be Christian while promoting an upcoming orgy? What does genuine repentance look like, and when is "baptism" just a publicity stunt? Finally, we wade into politics: Trump's drug boat bombings, fentanyl deaths, law enforcement policy, and whether we can trust anything the government tells us. It gets philosophical when questioning the nature of truth, evidence, and how Christians should engage with political authority. Expect passionate disagreements, theological depth, sarcastic humor, and a whole lot of "wait, are birds even real?" by the end. Because nothing says Christian podcast like ending on a robot bird conspiracy theory.

Ep 250🎄 What Is the True Meaning of Christmas? (Gospel Recap & AI Song)
Merry Christmas! In this special holiday episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate celebrates the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We kick things off with an unorthodox, AI-generated Christmas song that takes a deep dive into the spiritual warfare behind the scenes of the Nativity. Nate also addresses the "Christmas tree controversy" for the last time this season—spoiler alert: nobody is actually worshipping the pine needles in their living room. The conversation turns to the core of the Gospel, exploring why Jesus, the eternal God, took on flesh to live among us and die for our sins. We also take a lighthearted look at holiday traditions around the world, from Russian Orthodox dates to the simple struggle of finding an open Starbucks on Christmas morning. Whether you're opening presents or just "twiddling your thumbs" waiting for dinner, join us for a relaxed, Christ-centered morning of fellowship.

Ep 249David Movie Reviews - Did King David Exist? Archaeology vs. AI & Dallas Street Preachers Arrested
Merry Christmas Eve! In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate starts by tackling the common claim: Is Christmas a pagan holiday?. We look at why the "Hebrew Israelite" arguments often miss the mark and explore the legend of St. Boniface and the "Thor’s Oak" tree—a symbol of Christ’s victory over paganism rather than a continuation of it. We also dive into several major stories from social media and the news: The Dallas Preacher Arrests: We analyze the viral footage of Dallas police officers arresting Christian street preachers on public property for "not backing off" (watch here: https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/2003584909336871067?s=20). Nicki Minaj & Faith: Nicki Minaj reveals how going to church in New York changed her life, leading to a discussion on authenticity in faith (see the clip: https://x.com/WWUTTcom/status/2003246321852162217?s=20). King David & Archaeology: Is there real evidence for King David? We look at the Tel Dan Stele ([suspicious link removed]) and why your AI might be giving you the wrong historical data. The University of Oklahoma Controversy: A transgender instructor was fired after failing a student for citing the Bible (read more: https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/2003480694161572183?s=20). Whether you're a believer, a seeker, or one of the "pagans welcome" guests, join us for a serious (and occasionally sardonic) look at biblical truth in a digital world.

Ep 248Did John the Baptist Use Hate Speech? (Woke Pastor Reaction) & Buying Greenland?
In this episode, Nate and Chris tour the absolute state of the world, starting with Gab’s new AI-powered news aggregator, Alto, which filters the news through a Christian worldview—because we all know the mainstream media certainly won't. We also look at the hilarious diplomatic incident caused by Trump appointing a special envoy to Greenland (and why we should probably just buy it already). The conversation turns serious with a look at Summit Ministries and the vital importance of training young people in a Biblical worldview to combat Marxist ideologies. Chris shares his recent "cultural anthropology" trip to a PCA church in Atlanta that felt a little too "Third Way" for comfort—complete with non-communal communion and a distinct lack of expositional preaching. Finally, we react to a video of Muslims explaining why celebrating Christmas is blasphemous, and we end with a clip of a progressive Lutheran pastor actually canceling John the Baptist for using "hate-filled rhetoric" against the Pharisees. You can't make this stuff up.

Ep 247Is the Christmas Story True? Census, Virgin Birth & Genealogies Explained
In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, we dive headfirst into the ultimate Christmas apologetics gauntlet. We tackle the skeptics' favorite holiday hits: Did Luke get the census under Quirinius wrong? Does the word "virgin" really just mean "young maiden" who totally naturally had a baby? We break down the biblical text to show why the secular narrative falls apart faster than a dry pine needle in January. We also react to a "Queer Apocalyptic Nativity" from a Lutheran church that features a lesbian Mary and Jo bickering—because nothing says "Holy Night" like modern identity politics inserted into 1st-century Judea. Later, we open Jeremiah 10 to answer the age-old question: Is your Christmas tree actually a pagan idol that hates God? (Spoiler: St. Boniface and his axe might have something to say about that). Finally, we explore the strange world of Noahides and close with a deep dive into the alleged contradiction between the genealogies of Jesus in Matthew and Luke. We look at Eusebius, Levirate marriage, and how to solve the Curse of Jeconiah without breaking a sweat. 📚 Resources & Links: Reaction Video (Queer Nativity): Lutheran Church puts on "Queer Apocalyptic Nativity" - https://x.com/Protestia/status/2003051948740898953?s=20 Genealogy Video Played: The Genealogy of Jesus Christ (According to Eusebius) - https://youtu.be/U3bsAMyRwbw?si=M64ZL1XCjEr0QKZD For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 00:33 - Christmas Story Apologetics: The Census & Quirinius 04:17 - Does "Virgin" just mean "Young Maiden"? 08:24 - Addressing "Rape Apologetics" regarding Mary 23:33 - Christ the Lord: The Deity of Jesus 36:54 - Reaction: Lutheran Church's "Queer Apocalyptic Nativity" 45:41 - Jeremiah 10: Are Christmas Trees Idolatry? 54:45 - The Legend of St. Boniface & Thor's Oak 1:04:00 - What are Noahides? 1:21:46 - Why are Jesus' Genealogies Different?

Ep 246Is Atheism a Worldview? & Bible Contradiction: With Us or Against Us?
This episode kicks off with a dose of holiday "cheer" you won't find in the Bible: lowrider cars bouncing in the sanctuary and Frosty the Snowman singing AC/DC. After we recover from the cringe, the conversation shifts to a heated debate about the definition of atheism. Is it really just a "lack of belief" like not believing in Bigfoot, or is it a worldview with its own presuppositions? We discuss the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, metaphysics, and why "I just lack belief" might be a cop-out. Later, we tackle a listener's question about an apparent Bible contradiction: Jesus says "whoever is not with me is against me" in Matthew, but "whoever is not against us is for us" in Mark. Which is it? We also dive deep into theology with questions about Justification vs. Sanctification and a Muslim listener's confusion about how the "Word became flesh" (John 1:14) without God changing or ceasing to exist. Plus, reactions to Russell Brand’s AmFest prayer and Justin Bieber’s... unique gospel performance.

Ep 245Did Jesus Talk More About Hell Than Heaven? & Pete Hegseth's Chaplain Plan
In this episode, we kick things off with a listener question: If Jesus died for our sins, why is He still alive? (Spoiler: You can’t keep a good God down). We then react to "Secretary of War" Pete Hegseth’s viral plan to "Make the Chaplain Corps Great Again" by removing secular humanism and restoring actual religion to the military. Things get heated—and confusing—during a debate on Psychiatry vs. Psychology, where Nate nearly has a meltdown trying to explain the difference between pill-pushers and feelings-talkers. We also tackle a tough ethical question: Is it hypocritical for Christians to oppose illegal immigration while breaking laws to be missionaries in hostile countries? Finally, we dive deep into theology: Does God actually torture people in Hell, or is it a self-imposed state of eternal rebellion? We fact-check the popular claim that Jesus spoke more about Hell than Heaven, and close with a philosophical look at why God must be Triune to exist at all. 📚 Resources & Links: Pete Hegseth on the Chaplain Corps: https://x.com/SecWar/status/2001113071108882526?s=20 Nativity Shepherds Fight: https://x.com/RosaryMum/status/2001387973145743768?s=20 For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com 00:00 - Intro 01:50 - If Jesus died for my sins, why is He still alive? 09:20 - Pete Hegseth on making the Chaplain Corps great again 13:40 - Discussion: Chaplains, therapy, and "woke" military 28:07 - Psychiatry vs. Psychology (Nate's Meltdown) 33:24 - Christian ethics: Illegal Immigration vs. Missionary Work 57:15 - Does God torture people in Hell?
