Ask A Christian

On this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the panel tackle one of the most searched questions in Christian dream interpretation: does God speak through dreams? A caller shares a bizarre, vivid dream involving his brother, a masked Jesus, and a mysterious branding — and the panel wrestles with how (and whether) to interpret it biblically.

Later, a Jewish caller drops the biggest curveball of the episode: he...

Should Christianity be taught in schools? And if God created everything, including your desire for that candy bar, do you really have free will? On this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, "Should Christianity Be Taught in Schools? Free Will vs Determinism Debate Gets Heated," Nate takes live callers after TikTok decided a 10-second video clip was a crime against originality.

A caller from Britain asks whether the Bible belongs...

Welcome to the Ask A Christian Podcast with host Nate. In this episode, we take on some of the most common—and misunderstood—questions about theology, scripture, and culture. Highlighting key questions raised in the conversation with Lynx (Styx), we address the core identity of Christ: How can Jesus be fully God while also being called the Son of God? We also examine whether Christians are required to show respect to ev...

What kind of Christian are you, really? Nate kicks off this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast with that question before diving into the callers — and it's a marathon one.

The first half is a deep dive into Old Testament slavery laws, the Amalekite conquest, and why the Canaanites weren't offered peace (spoiler: child sacrifice). As always, Nate makes the point that if you want standing to critique these laws, you have to...

Catholic news roundup gone wrong: the Catholic Biblical Association just elected Amy-Jill Levine — an openly Orthodox Jewish New Testament scholar — as its president. She's on record saying she's "not a literalist," doesn't worship Jesus as Lord and Savior, and doesn't read the Gospels as recording exactly what happened. Nate breaks down why an organization founded to promote "scholarly study of scripture in a context o...

In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate fields a Jewish caller who asks why Christians see Jesus as God when He was a Jewish rabbi—then immediately gets labeled “anti-Semitic” for giving the historic, first-century Christian answer. Spoiler: holding the orthodox view that Jesus claimed deity, was crucified for blasphemy according to the Jewish leaders of His day, and that true Israel is ultimatel...

In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate fields live questions that get right into the thick of it: Does John 20:23 mean apostles (or priests) can forgive sins the way Catholics claim, or is it about binding and loosing and church discipline like the guy in 1–2 Corinthians? Then the conversation pivots hard into one of the most-searched Bible sticky spots—why God allowed (or commanded) what looks like i...

What’s the real difference between Catholics and Protestants—and does Psalm 91 actually disprove the crucifixion of Jesus? In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the crew dig into a classic question: Catholics vs Protestants. You’ll hear a clear breakdown of the Reformation, sola scriptura, faith alone versus faith-plus-works, the role of Mary and the saints, purgatory, the Pope, and why Pro...

Are all Christians racist? That’s the claim Nate fields head-on in this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast—complete with the classic “every Christian I’ve ever met hides behind religion to be racist” opener. Spoiler: the people who actually used the Bible to end slavery might have a few thoughts. Nate pushes back with history, Scripture, and the simple observation that if every Christian you’...

Is Jesus God, or just a created angel sent by the Father? On this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate faces one of the show's longest and most detailed debates yet — a caller raised in the Jehovah's Witness faith who challenges the Trinity verse by verse. They dig into Genesis 1, John 1:1 (and why the New World Translation renders it differently), Colossians 1:15's "firstborn of all creation," Revelation 3:14's "begi...

Does the Bible really let a rapist off the hook for 50 shekels? That question dominates this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, as host Nate goes verse-by-verse through Deuteronomy 22 — and then straight into the Talmud — to unpack what ancient Jewish law actually prescribed for sexual assault, and why the popular internet meme oversimplifies it badly (spoiler: there were entire tractates on the subject, not just a...

Nate's back on TikTok for another marathon Q&A, and this one earns its runtime. It starts innocently enough — can God become man without breaking His own nature, was Jesus really "tormented by demons in hell" (per a viral Lionheart Church Ministries claim), is the Trinity actually biblical vs. Unitarian arguments — before landing on the episode's centerpiece: does the Bible condone slavery?

Nate doesn't just answer ...

What happens when a skeptic walks into the Ask A Christian Podcast ready to poke holes in God's perfection — and walks out saying it's the best answer he's ever heard? That's exactly how this episode kicks off. Nate and the panel tackle a classic philosophical challenge: if God is already perfect and lacking nothing, why would He bother creating anything at all? Doesn't "wanting" something disprove perfection? The answer (nee...

Gloria Steinem, the "trailblazing" feminist icon, died this week at 92 — and on this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate takes NPR's glowing obituary apart line by line, from Steinem's early CIA-linked work in the 1950s to the population-control ideology of Paul Ehrlich's The Population Bomb. Was second-wave feminism partly a Cold War project? We dig into the receipts, and unpack what Scripture actually says about fa...

What happens when modern church welcome classes turn serving into corporate HR personality tests? In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate and the crew break down church integration, the obsession with finding “spiritual gifts” through repurposed Myers-Briggs tests, and why discovering you like coffee doesn’t require a spiritual revelation. Then, we dive into a major legal and cultural battle: the Main...

Are you a "lazy Christian" if you believe Jesus did all the work on the cross? That's the accusation Nate got hit with during a TikTok run-in with some rabid Catholic apologists — and it kicks off this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast. Nate breaks down why sola fide (salvation by faith alone) doesn't mean you sit on the couch — Paul and the martyred disciples believed the exact same thing and nobody called them la...

It's TikTok Tuesday on the Ask A Christian Podcast, and host Nate — fighting through a head cold and a stack of Bible verses — throws open the mic to anyone willing to debate him live. What starts as a rapid-fire rundown of Old Testament law (are Christians actually under the Law of Moses, or is that a misreading of Exodus and Leviticus?) turns into hours of unscripted, back-and-forth apologetics with callers of every s...

Nate's back from a nasty flu — and diving straight into one of the most common apologetics questions in his inbox: are Christians actually required to keep the Law of Moses? On this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate walks through Old and New Testament references (Exodus 19, Leviticus 27, Malachi 4, Romans 3, Galatians, and the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15) that show why the Mosaic Covenant was given specifically to...

In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the crew plow through a week-plus of Christianity-related news with the usual mix of seriousness, Scripture, and light Babylon Bee-style irony. We open with the Lindsay Clancy murder trial: the Massachusetts mother who strangled her three young children, jumped out a window, and now faces a postpartum psychosis + overmedication defense. Feminists and online voices have t...
