A listener (Boo) joins the Ask A Christian Podcast to ask, "Why are you a Christian?" and "What if I just like the principles but don't believe the accounts?" This kicks off a deep dive into the exclusivity of salvation. If Jesus is the only way, what happens to people who never get a chance to hear about him? Are they doomed? And if someone's spiritual journey leads them to Buddhism or Islam, is that... the devil? (Spoiler: Nate has thoughts, and they involve demons.) In this episode, we tackle the big questions: Are good works "filthy rags" without Jesus? Is it dangerous for Christians to read other religious texts? Can you be "too immersed" in the Bible (to the point you forget to get a job)? It's a full-on theological gauntlet. If you've ever wondered why your good deeds might not be punching your ticket to heaven, this one's for you. Episode: Are Other Religions Demonic? What About People Who Never Heard of Jesus?

Jelly Roll's Faith & Christian Views on Sin, Movies, Marriage In this lively episode of Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate dives into hot-button topics like whether Christians can watch R-rated movies (spoiler: all things are permissible, but not all beneficial—cue the popcorn guilt). We unpack Jelly Roll's professed faith amid his potty mouth and country tunes, debate cultural vs. true Christianity, and explore AI's role in theology (yes, even Reformed bots get grace).

Happy Halloween and Happy Reformation Day! Welcome to a packed episode of the Ask a Christian Podcast. This episode is a wild ride, starting with a caller who claims we can "save ourselves" through enlightenment and don't need Jesus. We break down the "thinking themselves wise, they became fools" argument and the biblical response to self-salvation. From there, we dive into major news: a US Federal Court has officially declared Atheism a religion. What does this mean for the "atheism is just a lack of belief" argument? We also discuss the upcoming Vatican announcement on November 4th, where the Pope may infallibly declare Mary's role as "Co-Redemptrix" in salvation. You also won't want to miss the powerful audio of a man who stands up and confronts an LGBTQ-affirming church with the hard truths of the Bible during their service. Later, the discussion on the Mark of the Beast system gets an unexpected visit from our special guest, "President Trump" (a hilarious comic impression), who weighs in on the end times, rebuilding the temple , Hillary as the Antichrist , and the EBT apocalypse. Finally, we explore the wild world of technology, debating whether the Mark of the Beast could be related to advanced nanotechnology, programmable mRNA robots , and whether human bodies can generate their own unique frequencies. We also celebrate Reformation Day with a talk on Martin Luther and review Steph's massive 51-meme dump. 🕒 Timestamps (Table of Contents) 00:00:00 - Intro & Halloween Chaos 00:08:34 - Caller: "Why Wait for Jesus?

In this episode of Ask A Christian, we dive into some of the toughest questions: When was America truly great?

Today on the Ask A Christian Podcast, we're tackling three massive topics pulled from the headlines and from the core of Christian theology. If you find this discussion valuable, please LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE! It’s the best way to help others find these conversations. First, we go deep on the powerful story out of Dallas, Texas. You may have seen the headlines: a 'Gayborhood' church, Oak Lawn United Methodist Church, is challenging Governor Greg Abbott. After Abbott's directive to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to remove LGBTQ+ rainbow crosswalks—calling them "political distractions" and "unsafe"—Oak Lawn UMC responded. This church, located in the heart of Dallas's Oak Lawn 'Gayborhood', has painted its own front steps in brilliant rainbow colors. Timestamp Topic 0:00 Podcast Introduction & Host Welcome 1:12 Oak Lawn United Methodist Church vs. Greg Abbott: Introduction 1:27 Backstory on the Federal Rule to Remove Political Roadway Symbols 2:17 Texas Governor Greg Abbott Enforces the Rule/Church Takes a Stand 2:34 Oak Lawn UMC Rainbow Steps & Pastor Rachel Griffin Allison 6:34 Discussion of Pastor's Wife & Fox News HR Director Connection 8:33 Desecration of the Church Architecture with Rainbow Paint 11:16 Theological Discussion: Are "Woke" Churches Christian? 16:32 Critique of United Methodism and John Wesley's Teachings 21:37 Detailed Explanation of the Biblical Gospel (The Good News) 26:49 New Topic: Hebrew Israelites, Homosexuality, and the Sin of Leaders 31:00 Question from Jonathan: The Problem of Animal Suffering 32:09 The Nature of Animal vs. Human Suffering 32:46 Animal Suffering as a Consequence of the Fall 40:27 Question from Caleb: Just War Theory, Self-Defense, and Pacifism 41:48 Discussion on Crusades and Christian Pacifism/Self-Defense 44:39 New Testament Precedent for Self-Defense (Selling Stuff to Buy a Sword) 47:08 Was the Crusades God's Method for Preserving the Church? 48:42 Moral Quandaries in Justifying Violence 49:48 Instinct vs. Philosophical Contemplation in Self-Defense We unpack the full story: the church's pastor and leaders are framing this move "not one of defiance, but of faith," calling the steps a "visible sign of the gospel they preach" of radical inclusivity. This act of protest comes as cities like Dallas and San Antonio, which have privately-funded rainbow crosswalks, must now review the state's directive or risk losing federal and state transportation funding. We discuss the intersection of faith, politics, and protest. Next, we tackle one of the most difficult questions for faith: Is animal suffering disproof for God? If God is all-good and all-powerful, why did He create a world with so much "gratuitous" suffering in the animal kingdom? For billions of years before humans, animals have suffered predation, disease, and natural disasters. We explore this specific version of the "problem of evil" (theodicy) and examine the different Christian responses. These include "The Fall" of creation, the "Greater Good" argument (that suffering is a necessary part of a balanced ecosystem), and the "Limited View" argument that we cannot understand God's ultimate purpose. Finally, we ask a fundamental question of Christian ethics: Should Christians be pacifists? This is a core debate within the church. We explore the deep divide: on one side, you have the clear commands of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount to "turn the other cheek" and "love your enemies." On the other side, you have passages like Romans 13 that grant the state the "power of the sword," Jesus's command to buy a sword in Luke 22, and the long-standing "Just War Theory." We debate the biblical arguments for and against Christian pacifism. We're discussing the topics you're searching for, including: Which Dallas church painted rainbow steps? Oak Lawn UMC vs Greg Abbott Why did Texas ban rainbow crosswalks? Is animal suffering the problem of evil? Christian theodicy for animal suffering Why does God

We evaluate ethical, theological, and pastoral considerations around IVF from a Christian perspective. IS PUBLIC PRAYER SIN?

In this episode of The Ask A Christian Podcast, we look at what the Bible actually says about Gaza in Zephaniah’s prophecy and whether it points to current events in 2025. We also discuss the Gaza hostages being freed, how these stories tie into biblical prophecy, and what Christians should take from them. Then we ask the tough question: Do atheists have ethics? Can morality exist without God? Finally, we explore John 1:18 — is Jesus called “the only begotten Son” or “the only begotten God”? What do the earliest manuscripts really say about Christ’s divinity? Join us for thoughtful Christian conversation, Bible truth, and open discussion about faith and reason.

Is the Bible enough? Faith alone debate from a video by Jay Dyer. We explore Sola Scriptura vs. tradition and ask: what's wrong with Anglicanism? Why do people criticize evangelical worship as shallow? Should modern music have deeper theology? What about Orthodox holy relics and saint veneration—is it biblical? We talk to a Catholic caller about faith, icons, and whether tradition belongs in Christianity. Plus: Columbus Day or Indigenous Peoples Day? What does the Bible actually say about honoring God's word vs. human traditions? Join us as we challenge assumptions across denominations.

Ever wondered: Is tithing biblical for Christians today? Should you expect financial blessings as a Christian? In this latest episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, we dive deep into biblical principles of money and prosperity—unpacking the dangers of the prosperity gospel critique, what true financial breakthrough looks like in Scripture, and how to pursue godly wealth without falling into heresy. Is the prosperity gospel a con or a biblical promise? We tackle long-tail questions like "what is tithing in the Bible," "is tithing required for Christians," and "how to get financial blessings from God" with straight-from-Scripture answers. But that's not all—we get real and hilarious with "why do all men wear gray sweatpants except one?" (spoiler: it's a lighthearted roast on fashion fails and Christian modesty). Then, we shift to core theology: What is sin in Christianity? From original sin to daily rebellion against God, we break down the biblical definition and why it matters for your walk with Jesus. Next up: What is church discipline? Is it loving correction or harsh judgment? We explore Matthew 18's blueprint for restoring the wandering sheep in the body of Christ. And in a bold takedown of exclusivism, we ask: What is the one true church? Can Catholics be saved? We contrast Catholic and Eastern Orthodox claims of "no salvation outside our church" with the Bible's universal call to faith in Christ alone—addressing "can you be saved outside the Catholic Church" and why the invisible church of all believers triumphs over denominational gates. Finally, worship warriors, beware: Can I listen to all Christian music? What kind of Christian music should I listen to? We expose heresies in popular worship songs from Hillsong, Bethel, and Elevation—think modalism, bad theology, and emotional manipulation. Is your playlist leading you to truth or subtle deception? Get discernment tips to keep your heart aligned with sound doctrine. Whether you're battling debt, questioning doctrine, or just chuckling at sweatpants season, this episode equips you to live boldly for Christ. Tune in for laughs, truth bombs, and zero fluff—because real faith answers real questions. Subscribe for more biblical breakdowns on apologetics, current events, and everyday Christian living.

In this spicy episode, Nate first addresses the ASK A CHRISTIAN drama from yesterday and we discuss a potential move to the Chatter app for our live shows. Then, we dive into a passionate yet respectful dialogue with multiple atheists, tackling the exact questions people are searching for online: Why do Christians believe in God when there's no proof? Is religion a negative influence on society? Is religious belief a form of low IQ brainwashing? How can Christians defend the claims of the Bible? What are the arguments against the atheist worldview? How do you answer an atheist who asks for evidence of God? Listen to this intense and civil debate as we defend the existence of God, dismantle atheist arguments, and cast doubt on a worldview without faith. If you're questioning your faith or seeking answers from the other side, this is the episode for you. Join us for these topics and more!

Discover biblical answers to life's toughest questions in the latest episode of Ask A Christian Podcast! Dive deep into what is faith in Christianity – is it just belief, or total trust in God's promises like Hebrews 11:1 says? We unpack why faith means confidence in Jesus Christ as Savior, even when life gets tough. Then, explore why did humans advance so fast in science and technology after thousands of years of slow progress – is it exponential innovation, population growth, or God's design accelerating knowledge like in Daniel 12:4? Could this "light-speed" boom in AI, space travel, and quantum physics point to end-times prophecy or just human ingenuity unlocking creation's secrets? Shocking update on the Anglican Church new Archbishop Sarah Mullally appointment – why is the Church of England poised to lose 40 million members over heresy accusations like female leadership and same-sex blessings? We break down the Gafcon split, conservative backlash, and what it means for global Christianity. Drawing in history buffs and church scandal seekers: Is this the biggest Anglican crisis since Henry VIII? Ever wondered, does Zoroastrianism explain evil better than Christianity? We compare dualism (Ahura Mazda vs. Angra Mainyu) to the Bible's view of Satan and free will – spoiler: Christianity's triumph of good through Christ wins every time. Perfect for comparative religion fans, philosophy seekers, or anyone grappling with the problem of evil in a broken world. Relive Jesus' state of mind in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before his arrest – was he in agony, sweating blood from sorrow (Luke 22:44), yet submitting "not my will, but yours" (Luke 22:42)? Feel the raw humanity and divine resolve in this pivotal moment. Ties into mental health discussions: How Jesus modeled facing fear, anxiety, and betrayal with prayer. Core doctrine alert: What is the Trinity in Christianity? We explain one God in three persons – Father, Son, Holy Spirit – equal yet distinct, from Nicene Creed basics to everyday analogies like water's states (solid, liquid, gas). Then, tackle tough verses from Corinthians, John, and Exodus proving Jesus is God (John 1:1, 8:58; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Exodus 3:14's "I AM") – but is Jesus subject to the Father, making him lesser? No – eternal roles in the Godhead, not inequality (1 Corinthians 15:28). Great for skeptics, new believers, or theology nerds questioning divinity. Whether you're searching for Christian apologetics on rapid technological advancement and biblical prophecy, Anglican Communion schism explained, Zoroastrianism vs Christianity on good vs evil, Jesus in Gethsemane emotional breakdown, or Trinity doctrine simplified with proof texts, this episode has it all. We bridge faith with science (evolution debates, innovation ethics), history (ancient religions influencing modern beliefs), philosophy (problem of evil solutions), and culture (church politics today). Listeners from atheism to agnosticism, history podcasts to mental health journeys – if you're curious about how faith intersects with exploding tech progress or why churches split over heresy like female bishops, hit play!

Does God answer unanswered prayers? How do you know if you’re praying in God’s will, and what does it mean when the answer seems to be “no” or silence? We dig into Scripture, God’s will in prayer, and how to discern His answers. Then we look at the Lord Of The Sabbath debates and why Jesus kept being pushed to “prove” He wasn’t God—what that reveals about His identity and the claims He made. We also tackle the Bad Bunny NFL halftime show controversy (drag/dresses, culture, and the Overton window), why Christians are so divided on whether to speak out, and how to respond with conviction and grace. Plus, some children’s books to help Chris—and your kids—learn how to make better friends.
