Ask A Christian

In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate and Steph kick things off with the usual Christian news roundup — a Border Patrol K9 sniffing out contraband meat, an "absolute coward" showdown between Aaron Rodgers and Dr. Fauci, and Florida's new mandate requiring K-12 students to learn the horrors of communism.

But the real conversation starts when a guest named Lisa joins the room. She grew up Southern Baptist, went o...

Can Satan actually plant thoughts in your head—or is that just our own sinful nature talking? On this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the panel dig into the classic question with Scripture, heated pushback, and zero sacred cows. From John 13 (Judas), Acts 5 (Ananias), the armor of God, and Philippians 4:8, the crew debates whether the devil can inject ideas, how far his influence goes for believers vs. u...

In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate (with Sean, Steph, and special guest atheist Michael) reacts to a wild “conversation in tongues” between prosperity preacher John Anosike and a follower, then tears into Holy Nope clips of pastors hawking weight-loss miracles and “pay God’s bills.” They dig into biblical tithing versus the New Testament call to generous giving, and spend serious...

In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, we tackle the burning question: Are we more evil as a society today than Sodom and Gomorrah? Scripture paints those cities as a cautionary tale of pride, abundance without justice, and rampant sexual immorality that brought fire from heaven. Looking around at modern culture—celebrated confusion, open rebellion against God’s design, and churches that treat the Bible like op...

This episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast starts innocent enough — a debate about how anyone could know what happened in private conversations recorded in Scripture — and somehow ends up in the marriage bed. Literally.

Roy asks the question a lot of Christian couples are quietly Googling: is anal sex a sin? Nate runs it through Gemini and "God's AI" (Gab AI) for good measure, and the crew works through where the word ...

This TikTok Tuesday turned into a full theological gauntlet. Nate takes on a rotating cast of callers covering some of the biggest questions in Christian apologetics, starting with a fiery exchange over free will vs determinism: if God already knows everything you'll do, can you really choose freely? That leads into a breakdown of libertarian free will vs compatibilism, and later, whether Molinism and middle knowledge solve the pro...

In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate and the crew tackle one of the most contested questions in Christian apologetics: does the Bible condone slavery? A TikTok Live guest pushes back hard, arguing Exodus gives instructions for owning and beating people as property, while Nate and Steph lay out the biblical distinction between indentured servitude (voluntary, debt-based, time-limited) and kidnapping-based slavery &md...

Nate opens with a viral meme on "How to Read the Bible Like the Early Church Did," using Augustine's infamous allegorical reading of the Good Samaritan (yes, "the innkeeper is the apostle Paul") as a cautionary tale in bad hermeneutics — and makes the case that the early church didn't need a bound Bible because they were living the apostles' teaching in real time. From there, the episode turns into a full defense of America's...

This episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast is a grab-bag of "you can't make this up" stories from the worlds of science, politics, and church culture — because sometimes the news itself is the best argument for a fallen world in need of a Savior. We kick things off in the animal kingdom: a new study on naked mole-rat queens found that the ruling female of the colony releases a specific chemical (isopropyl myristate) that che...

Jen Hatmaker just announced she's "quietly laid down" her belief in a literal hell — and says it's the best thing that ever happened to her. Nate breaks down her Substack post and asks the obvious question: if you're not a Christian anymore, why were you worried about hell in the first place?

Then things get spicy when Nate reacts to a viral ex-Christian's deconversion story — the one where she credits a friend "at CERN...

It's another TikTok Tuesdays on the Ask A Christian Podcast, and Nate takes the mic through a wall of callers, chat questions, and at least two people convinced the Bible has been supernaturally rewritten. The episode opens with a caller pressing Nate on whether the Old Testament actually condones polygamy — a deep dive into Deuteronomy 17:17, Abraham and Hagar, and why the "kings shall not multiply wives" rule matters. Steph...

Nate flies solo (for a bit) to open this one, still cranky about the two topics that just won't die: is there a biblical case for divorce, and is tithing actually a command? Spoiler: he lays out the only two biblical grounds for divorce (and no, "we fell out of love" isn't one of them), then Sean jumps in to press him on tithing, giving, and whether Ezekiel's "woe to the shepherds who grow fat" applies to prosperity preachers today...

Happy Friday from the Ask A Christian Podcast! Nate, Sean, Steph, and resident atheist Michael tear through this week's wildest headlines — starting with Pastor Greg Locke's home raid. The Tennessee pastor says 50-60 federal agents battering-rammed their way into his house at 6am over church finance allegations, three weeks into a sabbatical he took to grieve his son's death. The crew debates whether the response was justifie...

What does the Bible actually say about marriage, and does being a Christian make you less likely to get divorced? This episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast kicks off with some genuinely good news — a premature baby born without a heartbeat who was resuscitated after an hour of CPR — before diving into the internet's latest culture-war flashpoint: podcaster Jennifer Welch's viral rant calling homeschooling "trickle dow...

This episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast covers a lot of ground, but the meat of the show is a deep dive into one of the most searched questions in biblical scholarship: did ancient Israel actually believe in more than one God? Nate and the crew react to a viral TikTok claiming early Judaism had a whole pantheon — Yahweh, "El," and even a goddess wife named Asherah — and break down what the "two powers in heaven" doc...

This episode of Ask A Christian Podcast starts mid-chaos — Nate is fresh off a TikTok room with "Board Agnostic" and crew, recapping the most unhinged apologetics arguments he's heard in a while, including the claim that 1 Corinthians 7:36 endorses child marriage (spoiler: "flower of her age" meant something very different 2,000 years ago than it does on TikTok) and whether God was even justified in destroying Sodom and Gomor...

This week's Ask A Christian Podcast got a little unhinged — we were live on TikTok (last one for a while, promise), and once the guest queue filled up, it turned into a full theological gauntlet. We start in Matthew 22, unpacking the "Lord vs. Son of David" question and why Mary calling Jesus both "my son" and "my Lord" isn't a contradiction — plus a quick detour into why Catholics saying "Mother of God" makes everyone'...

What happens when someone drops into a live Ask A Christian Podcast chat and says the co-equal, co-eternal Trinity isn't actually in the Bible? You get this episode. Nate and the panel open with the now-infamous "God is a bat" analogy from a rough Trinitarian debate elsewhere online (and counter with the classic triple point of water illustration), before a guest named Kio steps in to make the case that Jesus can't be truly co-equa...

In this special TikTok episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast with host Nate, we're stepping into the wild world of live streaming to answer real questions from seekers and believers. A caller shares his pastor's scandal and wonders if he needs to get rebaptized when leaving his Independent Fundamental Baptist church for a born-again one. Nate dives deep into the gospel, what it truly means to be born again (John 3), baptism as a o...
