    Only 2 Biblical Reasons for Divorce? Plus Tithing & Canada's Wildfires

    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. From there the show goes full culture-desk: Michael joins to weigh in on AOC's viral "southern accent" moment that had the internet doing a double take (read more: https://notthebee.com/article/aocs-southern-accent-will-have-yall-sayin-bless-your-heart), Ken Hovind's actual tax evasion conviction gets fact-checked, and the crew debates defense spending and the size of government. Then it's a deep dive into the Canadian wildfires choking US air quality and Trump's threat to tack the smoke's cost onto Canadian tariffs — plus some good-natured ribbing about giant reservoirs and faucets that don't exist. Steph closes things out with viewer questions on marriage — betrayal, finances, emotional distance — Ephesians 5 as the reset button for a struggling marriage, and a real conversation about husband/wife roles that lands on the "is the Bible misogynistic?" question with Michael. It's a packed, occasionally chaotic episode of Ask A Christian Podcast that swings from serious apologetics to Andrew Tate's arrest to a firefighter's caricature — because that's just how Mondays go around here.

    Pastor Greg Locke's Home Raided by 60 Federal Agents – Justice or Persecution?

    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 justified law enforcement or government overreach. From there it's a full Christian-news buffet: an Episcopal church dyes its communion bread rainbow-colored for Pride, Pete Hegseth's new testosterone testing policy sparks a "gender-affirming care for the military" debate (plus a surprisingly civil chat about the draft), and country singer RaeLynn announces her divorce "after much thought and prayer" — prompting a deep dive into what the Bible actually says about marriage and covenant. The gang also unpacks the very real explosive diarrhea outbreak spreading across the U.S., a Canadian surrogacy lawsuit involving a same-sex couple and a baby's cleft lip, and two viral TikToks — including a lesbian couple who ended their relationship after encountering Jesus, and Nate's takedown of a "society praises Jesus but not menstruating women" post.

    Do Christians Actually Divorce Less? Marriage Data & Michael's Own Divorce Story

    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 down stupidity." Steph pushes back hard with data on classical education outcomes. From there, Nate and the crew tackle whether the Bible is "just Greek mythology" (spoiler: eyewitness testimony matters), unpack what it really means to "catch the Holy Ghost" in Pentecostal tradition, and question the marketing choices of a certain LDS missionary ad campaign. But the heart of the episode is marriage. A viral clip claims Christian and secular couples divorce at the same rate — so Nate and Steph dig into the Barna Group, Pew Research, and Institute for Family Studies data to see who's actually right, walk through what Ephesians 5 and 1 Corinthians 13 really demand of a biblical marriage, and Michael opens up candidly about his own divorce and what faith (or the lack of it) had to do with it. Grab your Bible — or at least your reading glasses — because this one gets real. 📚 Resources & Links Premature baby resuscitation story: https://righttolife.org.uk/news/premature-baby-boy-born-without-a-heartbeat-survives-after-hour-long-resuscitation Jennifer Welch homeschooling comments: https://www.foxnews.com/media/far-left-podcaster-jennifer-welch-calls-homeschooling-trickle-down-stupidity-huge-problem For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com 00:00 - Intro 07:23 - Premature baby survives without a heartbeat after hour-long CPR 12:11 - Jennifer Welch calls homeschooling "trickle down stupidity" 20:39 - Debating homeschooling vs. public school outcomes 32:53 - Chemtrails conspiracy theory (Conspiracy Theory Friday bit) 36:01 - Are LDS missionary TikTok ads inappropriate? 40:26 - Family update: moving north for son's autism therapy 49:56 - Is the Bible just like Greek mythology? 54:14 - What does it mean to "catch the Holy Ghost"? 1:06:42 - Viral claim: Christians and atheists divorce at the same rate 1:11:28 - What does the Bible really say about marriage counseling? 1:15:14 - Is marriage a covenant before God or just a contract? 1:16:28 - Christian divorce rates: what the data actually shows 1:18:05 - Michael opens up about his own divorce 1:27:19 - Wrap-up and outro #AskAChristianPodcast #ChristianMarriage #Divorce #Homeschooling #ChristianApologetics #Bible #Christianity #Faith #Marriage #Ephesians5 #HolySpirit #SpeakingInTongues #ChristianLife #Apologetics #BibleStudy

    Two Powers in Heaven: Was Judaism Polytheistic? + Sen. Lindsey Graham's Sudden Death

    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" doctrine actually says, why it's still explicitly monotheistic, and how it connects to the Trinity. They also dig into the Elohim/Yahweh distinction, the Canaanite fertility goddess Asherah, and a tangent on Proverbs 26's "answer a fool according to his folly" (spoiler: not a contradiction). Before that theological deep-dive, the crew reacts to a stack of news and viral stories: a woman who held onto her husband as he was partially sucked out of an airplane window mid-flight, Miss Rachel's defense of Muslim kindergartners after a post from President Trump, a court ruling approving a late-term abortion for a 14-year-old rape victim in India (and what it means for how Christians should think about hard cases), and a report on over 10,000 Christians arrested amid an escalating religious crackdown in China. There's also a detour into "DEI Muppets" on Sesame Street, the conspiracy theories swirling around Senator Lindsey Graham's death, and a debate over whether hell is really just the absence of God. It's a classic episode of Ask A Christian Podcast — equal parts apologetics, current events, and chaos. Grab your Bible (or your Ouija board, if that's more your style) and settle in. 📚 Resources & Links Woman hangs onto husband sucked out of airplane window: https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2026/07/10/happy-wife-happy-life-woman-hangs-on-to-husband-as-hes-sucked-halfway-out-airplane-window-n2204203 Miss Rachel backs Muslim kindergartners after Trump's post: https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2026/07/08/ms-rachel-donald-trump-minnesota-kindergarten-hijabs/90855970007/ Court approves abortion on 28-week-old preborn baby: https://www.liveaction.org/news/court-approves-abortion-28-week-preborn-baby Over 10,000 Christians arrested in China: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/report-10000-christians-arrested-china-as-xi-jinpings/ For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com Timestamps 00:00 - Intro & platform updates 10:33 - Viral story: husband sucked out of airplane window 12:15 - Michael joins the show 13:45 - Miss Rachel defends Muslim kindergartners after Trump's post 19:15 - Tangent: the new "diverse" Sesame Street Muppets 24:21 - Court approves abortion of a 28-week-old baby in India 34:12 - Did Jesus know about abortion?

    Do Christians Have to Keep the Torah? Does Jesus Sleeping Mean He Isn't God?

    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 Gomorrah. From there the panel opens up and the questions keep coming: Does Psalm 121:4 — "he who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep" — mean Jesus can't be God, since he napped in a boat during a storm? Can you have "faith in God" without being a Christian? Is morality just whatever makes you happy? The back half turns into a full-on Hebrew Roots Movement debate: should Christians be keeping the Sabbath, avoiding pork and shellfish, and treating the Torah as binding — or did Peter's rooftop vision in Acts 10 settle that a while ago? Along the way: the Andrew Wilson vs. Daniel Haqiqatjou Islam debate, Poland as a modern case study in "what happens when a nation actually commits to Christ," and the eternal question of whether the New Covenant is new or just "renewed."

    Are Women Barred From Church Authority? & Is Iron Really God's Kryptonite?

    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's head spin for the wrong reasons. From there we cover the second coming and the Mount of Olives, the Great White Throne Judgment, whether God gave humanity laws before Moses, and what Acts 2:38 actually says about baptism and salvation. Then things get spicy. We dig into original sin and whether the devil sinning first changes anything, spend a solid chunk of time on 1 Timothy 2:12 and whether women can hold authority in the church (Adam formed first, Eve deceived first — yes, we go there), and defend the reliability of the original biblical autographs against a King James "corruption" claim. The back half is a full-on apologetics sparring match: are iron chariots really "God's kryptonite" in Judges 1:19? Does the size of a human compared to the universe make worship irrational? Can you actually ground objective morality without God? And does science — evolution, a global flood, ringwoodite and all — disprove the Bible? We close things out talking about Christian Zionism and whether believers should be backing the modern state of Israel. It's a marathon episode of Ask A Christian Podcast, but if you've ever wondered how a Christian handles a live, unfiltered gauntlet of hard questions, this is the one.

    Is the Trinity Really Co-Equal & Co-Eternal? Mark 13:32 Sparks a Heated Debate

    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-equal with the Father — leaning hard on Mark 13:32, where Jesus says only the Father knows the hour. It's one of the most searched objections to the Trinity, and Nate walks through the hypostatic union, roles vs. essence, and why "greater than" doesn't mean "lesser in nature." From there the conversation shifts into Bible translation territory: why ESV, NASB, and NRSV sometimes read differently, what the Johannine Comma is, and whether "gender inclusive" updates in newer translations are changing meaning or just clarifying it (spoiler: footnotes tell on themselves). A KJV-only joke turns into a real conversation about textual transmission, then things get lighter — sandals, tans, and the "was Jesus black" question makes an appearance before landing back on solid ground. The back half tackles two meatier questions: is fasting still commanded for Christians today (Matthew 17:21 gets a hard look), and is grace merely relational or truly substantial — a debate that pulls in sanctification, justification, and what it actually means to be a "partaker of the divine nature" in 2 Peter 1:4. Grab a seat — this one's a masterclass in staying charitable while disagreeing hard.

    Do You Need to Be Rebaptized When Switching Churches? Or After a Pastor Scandal? (Born Again Truth)

    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 one-time public profession of faith, and why your first valid believer's baptism stands—even across denominations. We tackle Catholic vs. Protestant differences, apostolic succession, church judgment (inside vs. outside the church), communion symbolism, and more. Expect honest talk on flawed pastors (God uses imperfect people like Noah, Moses, and David), TikTok drama with Orthodox and others, and practical advice on finding a solid Bible-believing church. Light-hearted moments mix with serious theology in classic Babylon Bee-style fashion. Whether you're questioning rebaptism, navigating denominational shifts, or just exploring Christianity, this episode delivers clear, Scripture-centered answers.
