Can Satan Plant Thoughts? Christian Wins $410K Trans Lawsuit & Bats (Rabies?) Invade Steph’s House
2w ago01:53:10Tap to summarizeCan 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. unbelievers, and why “just take every thought captive” is both simpler and harder than it sounds. Roy, Steph, and Nate go back and forth—sometimes agreeing, sometimes wildly not. Along the way they also cover: The viral “Sharkzilla” theory of radioactive mutant sharks off New York (spoiler: it was a very pregnant mako) What Jesus would actually ask after the Idaho In-N-Out shooting (hint: Luke 13 and the tower of Siloam) A Christian physician assistant who refused transgender policies, got fired, and just won a $410,000 settlement Plus the chaotic reality that Steph’s house is currently being invaded by bats (and the inevitable rabies jokes that followed) Expect serious Bible talk mixed with the usual Monday chaos, bats, and the occasional laser-beam shark joke. If you’ve ever wondered whether that random dark thought was yours or the enemy’s, this one’s for you.

Transcribe →Why Does God Create People Who Go to Hell? 5 Questions That Led Her to Atheism
3w ago01:04:13Tap to summarizeIn 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 time answering a woman’s five questions that supposedly led her from 23 years as a Christian to agnostic atheism: Who is God in the Bible? Does an all-knowing God create people He knows will suffer forever? Why punish people for being deceived? Why does God care about belief rather than works for salvation? And does free will exist in heaven? Expect clear Scripture (Galatians on faith alone, 1 Corinthians on tongues, free will and the nature of Christ), charitable pushback, and the usual light banter. No prosperity seed-sowing required.

Transcribe →Are We Worse Than Sodom? Kane Battles Flock Cams & UMC Queer Tarot
3w ago01:22:44Tap to summarizeIn 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 optional reading—it’s hard not to wonder if we’ve lapped them. Then we pivot to the wildest crossover in recent news: WWE’s Kane (yes, the Big Red Machine, the demonic half-brother of the Undertaker) is now Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs in Tennessee. The former wrestler who once set people on fire in the ring is now warning that Flock AI license-plate cameras create a “warrantless mass surveillance system.” These motion-activated cameras don’t just snap plates—they use AI to catalog make, model, color, even bumper stickers, store it for weeks, and network it so your movements can be tracked. Jacobs is urging his commission to ban them until real state and federal privacy laws catch up. The guy who used to chokeslam people for a living is out here defending civil liberties better than half the politicians who never wore a mask. Who saw that plot twist coming? Finally, we dig into the United Methodist Church’s Urban Abbey (a bookstore/coffeeshop “church” in Omaha) proudly selling “Queer Tarot Cards” right next to the Pride flag pins and LGBTQ+ primers. Created by queer and trans artists, the deck reimagines the Major and Minor Arcana with gender-fluid figures, queer history, and LGBTQ+ interpretations so you can get your occult fortune-telling with a rainbow twist. This is the same place that has hosted Drag Queen Story Hour and whose pastor once defended Jezebel and Ahab as a positive biblical marriage model while seeking to “heal the wounds created by conservative Christianity.” Nothing says traditional Wesleyan orthodoxy like mixing pagan divination with sexual revolution cosplay and calling it spiritual growth. If Sodom had a gift shop, this would be the inventory. We unpack what Scripture actually says about all of it—sexual ethics, occult practices, the limits of government surveillance, and whether our culture has crossed the line that once brought judgment. Serious questions, zero sugarcoating, and just enough ironic humor to keep you from throwing your Bible across the room.

Transcribe →Is Anal Sex a Sin for Married Couples? Apparently We Really Mean No Topic Is Off-Limits 💩🙄
3w ago01:02:14Tap to summarizeThis 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 "sodomy" actually comes from (spoiler: it's not in the Bible), what Hebrews 13:4's "the marriage bed is undefiled" really means, and where the line is between freedom and sin in Christian marriage. Steph brings the wife's perspective on low libido, touched-out motherhood, and the infamous gray sweatpants. From there it's a full detour: why every female pastor on the internet preaches in a sleeveless shirt, who exactly Kathryn Krick is and what the "Marine Kingdom" deliverance movement teaches, a reaction to one of her wildest viral exorcism videos, and a closing rebuttal to the classic "you eat shellfish so why is being gay a sin" argument. No topic is off the table on Ask A Christian Podcast — turns out we really mean it.

Transcribe →Does God Exist Outside of Time? Why Christians do Worship on Sunday, Not Saturday
3w ago01:26:07Tap to summarizeThis 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 problem at all. From there, the callers keep coming. An international listener pushes back hard on original sin, asking why we still suffer the consequences of Adam and Eve's disobedience and why God needed a human sacrifice to forgive sin in the first place. Steph tackles why Joseph's bloodline matters for messianic prophecy even though he wasn't Jesus's biological father. Then a self-described skeptic named "Stillness" tries to get Nate to defend the Bible's reliability using, of all things, a bear. The back half features one of the more fun apologetics segments on the show: a caller busts out a literal whiteboard to argue that a God who exists outside of time is a philosophical contradiction, and Nate and Steph tag-team a response. Later callers ask why Christians worship on Sunday instead of the Saturday Sabbath, whether an invention can predate its inventor, and what the Bible actually says about judging others (spoiler: it's more nuanced than "don't judge me"). Grab some popcorn; this one's a marathon of Ask A Christian Podcast energy across free will, original sin, time, the Sabbath, and more. Key questions answered in this episode: Does God's foreknowledge destroy free will? What's the difference between libertarian free will and compatibilism? Does Molinism (middle knowledge) solve the free will debate? Why do we still suffer for Adam and Eve's sin? Why did God need a human sacrifice to forgive sins? Why does Joseph's genealogy matter if he wasn't Jesus's biological father? Is the Bible historically reliable? Does God exist outside of time? Why do Christians worship on Sunday instead of Saturday? What does the Bible actually say about judging others?

Transcribe →What Does the Bible Really Say About Slavery? Christians vs Atheists Debate Slavery & Genocide
3w ago01:18:08Tap to summarizeIn 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 — which carried a death penalty under the Law (Exodus 21:16). Optimus adds a controversial personal take on American slavery that sparks pushback in the room, and Nate drops the receipts straight from the Talmud tractates for anyone who wants to fact-check it themselves (no one will, but the sources are there). From there the conversation ping-pongs through greatest hits of Christian apologetics: whether chasing eternal life makes you reject the life you're actually living, whether Jesus's "some standing here will not taste death" prophecy was fulfilled at the Transfiguration, how Abraham could have genuine faith without it being blind faith, the supposed contradiction between how Judas died in Matthew versus Acts, and why ancient documents like the Gospels shouldn't be held to modern textbook standards. There's also a deep dive into whether science can explain miracles like walking on water, the cosmological argument from thermodynamics, and Optimus holding up his copy of The Case for Christ to share his own testimony. Things take a hard turn into the Amalekites and the "why would God command genocide" objection, before wrapping up with an unexpectedly practical conversation about Christian prepping, off-grid living, and why having real-life skills matters in a world of forced immunizations and cultural upheaval. Basically: heavy theology, a little homesteading, and Steph reminding everyone that Pootopia on the Switch 2 is a delight. Classic Ask A Christian Podcast. Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 0:38 - Is Living By Jesus's Morals Enough Without Believing In Him? 4:17 - Does Focusing On Heaven Make You Reject This Life? 7:10 - Was Jesus's "Coming In Glory" Prophecy Already Fulfilled? 11:21 - Does The Bible Condone Slavery? 32:20 - How Can You Have Faith In God Without Proof? 37:00 - Contradiction?

Transcribe →Was America a Christian Nation? Stop Surrendering History & How to Read the Bible
4w ago00:57:54Tap to summarizeNate 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 Christian founding. Was America founded as a Christian nation? Nate walks through the state constitutions (Delaware's trinitarian oath requirement), the often-cited 1783 Treaty of Paris and its "holy and undivided Trinity" preamble, and pushes back on the popular narrative that the Founders were mostly deists. This leads straight into the Babylon Bee op-ed "Christians, Stop Surrendering History," where Nate and Sean dig into why Christians tend to apologize for the Crusades and slavery instead of pointing out that the Crusades followed roughly 800 years of Islamic conquest, and that the abolition movement was overwhelmingly Christian-led (Wilberforce, Douglass, and company get a shoutout). Sean pushes back with a "revisionist history" objection tied to crusading indulgences, and the two dig into whether the papacy actually blessed war crimes — spoiler: it's more complicated (and more Catholic) than the meme implies. Then things go feral for a few minutes with a very literal palate cleanser: killer whales absolutely obliterating a sunfish. Naturally, this pivots back into the Christian nation debate via a reaction to a viral clip from a pastor arguing America is not a Christian nation. The back half of the episode is a rapid-fire reaction session — a "don't get pregnant" TikTok that triggered a pile-on, an atheist's "why did God need a 14-year-old to get pregnant" gotcha (answered with a Genesis-to-Revelation walkthrough), a wildly unhinged geocentrism take on Joshua 10 and the sun standing still, and a lengthy, heated exchange with a Dean Withers-style debate bro using the real historical case of Lina Medina to attack God's goodness. Nate and Sean respond with Genesis 50:20 — "what the enemy meant for evil, God meant for good" — and walk through how that principle applies even to the hardest cases people can throw at Christianity. Serious theology, real history, and some genuinely unhinged internet content — that's Ask A Christian Podcast.

Transcribe →Who is "Apostle" Kathryn Krick? Trans Senate Candidate Claims, And Disgraced Pastor's New Church
4w ago01:34:59Tap to summarizeThis 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 chemically suppresses the fertility of every other female in the group — basically nature's version of an HOA president who won't let anyone else put up a shed. It's a wild look at biology, hierarchy, and design that opens up a bigger conversation about order in creation. From there we head into the political circus, talking about Ashley Webb, a trans-identified Democrat running for U.S. Senate in Maine, who claims to have a 29-day "cycle" complete with symptoms doctors allegedly can't explain, plus a birth-record mystery he says was conveniently destroyed. We dig into what's actually going on biologically, and what it says about where our culture's gone with identity and truth. Then it's back to church world for two very different stories. First, "Apostle" Kathryn Krick, the TikTok-famous self-proclaimed apostle behind 5F Church in LA, whose recent Texas book-signing turned into a viral "revival" video of people falling and convulsing. We talk discernment, spiritual authority, and why "it felt powerful" isn't the same as "it was biblical." Finally, we cover Brady Boyd, the former New Life Church pastor who resigned after being accused of covering up Robert Morris's abuse of a 12-year-old — and who has now planted a brand new church, The Village Church, serving as its "Legacy Pastor." We ask the hard question: what does real repentance and disqualification actually look like for church leaders? It's a lighter, faster-paced episode covering a lot of ground — science, politics, and church accountability — all through a biblical lens.

4w ago01:11:00Tap to summarizeJen 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" for finally convincing her the Bible was just written by ignorant goat herders who didn't understand science. Spoiler: shepherds, tax collectors, fishermen, and a Roman-educated Pharisee named Paul would like a word. Sean and Steph jump in for a genuinely great discussion of Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and how the "invisible institution" of the Black Church preserved the true gospel even under slavery. Also on today's Ask A Christian Podcast: - The US House votes to cut 100% of aid to Nigeria until the government stops the mass killing of Christians - Six pastors jailed and Bibles seized in a house church crackdown in China - A PCUSA pastor (in a Planned Parenthood stole, no less) blasts the abortion abolitionist movement as a "threat" Oh, and a few more "Holy Nope" clips that will make you wonder how anyone concluded Jesus was married, bisexual, or a lesbian drag queen from the actual text of Scripture.

Transcribe →Did the Bible Change? Lion vs Wolf Mandela Effect Sparks 'Jesus Is the Father' Debate
4w ago01:16:16Tap to summarizeIt'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 rolls in fresh off an all-night Clubhouse debate with Catholics about apostolic succession (spoiler: Nate isn't buying it), which somehow spirals into phylacteries and Matthew 23. From there it's a run through "who's actually saved" — Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Catholics all get the apologetics treatment — before the conversation turns to whether your religion is just an accident of where you were born. Then things get weird in the best way: not one but two callers swear the Bible used to say "the lion shall lie down with the lamb" instead of "the wolf." Nate walks through the Isaiah 11:6 Mandela Effect claim, which somehow launches directly into one of the spicier debates of the episode — a caller insisting Jesus is the Father, and Nate holding the line on the Trinity in real time. A chat detour into whether women can be pastors gets the "role vs. hierarchy" treatment straight from 1 Timothy, before the modalism debate picks right back up. The back half is pure rapid-fire apologetics: why Jesus told people to keep his identity quiet, whether "God obeyed Mary" is a fair question, does baptism actually save you, a plain-English walkthrough of the Trinity starting on page one of Genesis, why Catholics call Mary "the Mother of God," and a genuinely wild detour into anti-Catholic persecution in colonial America. If you like your apologetics with a side of internet conspiracy theories, this one's for you.
