Ask A Christian

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 Da...

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 lo...

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...

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 Philo...

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 ...

In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate battles "bad computer energy" to bring you a jam-packed discussion on apologetics, culture, and theology. We start by asking if AI is effectively killing music and podcasting by flooding the market with millions of tracks—are human creatives doomed to be replaced by Tesla bots? Then, the group tackles a classic "Bible contradiction": The Census of Quirinius in Luke Chapter 2. Ske...

How should Christians respond when political figures make controversial statements about death? In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate tackles the viral question after Trump's statement about Rob Reiner—examining what the Bible says about responding to political controversy, celebrating death, and maintaining Christian witness in divisive times. We dive deep into the tension between free speech and biblical comma...

Host Nate kicks off this episode by roasting Chris's "church" – complete with 20-foot flying drummer boys, back-flipping elves, and snowflakes from the rafters. Because nothing says "Holy Spirit" quite like a $10 million light show and circus acrobatics, right? Apparently, the Apostle Paul's archaeological smoke machine approves. Then things get serious (sort of) when we tackle a genuinely bizarre claim: is it a SIN to listen to go...

The Ask A Christian Podcast dives deep into the biggest questions facing modern faith! Watch as Nate FINALLY solves the predestination debate that's divided Christians for centuries.

What is original sin, and do babies inherit guilt from Adam? In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate tackles one of Christianity’s most misunderstood doctrines—original sin—and whether infants are born guilty before God or just born into a fallen world. We dive deep into the debate between original sin (inheriting both sin nature AND guilt) versus ancestral sin (Eastern Orthodox view: sin nature without guilt). Do...

In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate starts by urging listeners to support Christians in business (yes, including Mike Lindell’s MyPillow instead of Demon Corp. Brand X), then shifts into weightier matters: eternity. We pray for Roy’s upcoming open-heart surgery and talk about trusting God through serious health trials. From there, the room dives into: Why did Adam and Eve sin in the Garden if God called creation “v...

What is sin? How do I know I’m saved? And did Saul die by suicide or murder? In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the team tackle some of the most-searched theological questions on the internet—plus a healthy dose of hilariously bad AI-generated intro songs. We kick off with “What is sin?”—apparently the most Googled Christian question in its category. Chris delivers a masterclass in under 3 minutes: sin is...

In today’s episode of the Ask A Christian podcast, we hit a wide range of controversial and curious topics: Tithing… again. We respond to a new round of online discussion about tithing, prompted by a recent Protestia post, and talk about what the New Testament actually requires of Christians when it comes to giving. Protestia tweet: https://x.com/Protestia/status/1997989772904595868?s=20 The viral “old woman and alligator” video in...

Is salvation truly a free gift, or do we choose God? In this heated episode of Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate tackles one of Christianity's most divisive debates: Calvinism vs Arminianism, free will vs predestination, and whether we have any say in our salvation. The conversation kicks off with a biblical "contradiction" about who incited David to take the census—was it God or Satan? Spoiler: it's not actually a contradiction, ...

In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate tackles some of the most controversial issues facing the modern church—and let's just say, it wasn't the theological deep dive he was hoping for today. From the Vatican's new document allowing openly gay (but celibate) men into the priesthood, to churches politicizing Christmas with ICE-themed nativity scenes, to Canada's alarming expansion of medically assisted suicide—this...

In this wild episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate tackles some of the internet’s most bizarre questions: Was Jesus Asian? Who are the “true Jews”? Was Jesus a Nazarene or a Nazirite? (Spoiler: there’s a difference, and it matters.) We dive deep into biblical geography, exploring the difference between Near East, Middle East, and Far East—because apparently Jesus’ continental classification is now a theological battlegr...

Host Nate tackles the classic Pentecostal vs. traditional Christian debate: Is baptism of the Holy Spirit a “second blessing” separate from salvation, or does it happen at the moment of conversion? We dive into Acts, Romans, and the scriptural case for both sides—plus why misrepresenting each other’s beliefs doesn’t help the conversation. Also featured: a charitable yet biblical perspective on how Christians should talk to transgen...

Was America really founded as a Christian nation, or is that just wishful thinking from modern evangelicals? In this episode of Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate takes a deep dive into the original state constitutions from 1776-1784 and uncovers something most people never learned in history class: 9 out of 14 original states required officeholders to profess Christian faith—and many explicitly demanded Trinitarian belief. After a...

Do Christians, Muslims, and Jews worship the same God? It's one of the most controversial questions in interfaith dialogue—and in this episode of Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate tackles it head-on alongside guests debating Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant perspectives.
