    🎄 What Is the True Meaning of Christmas? (Gospel Recap & AI Song)

    Merry Christmas! In this special holiday episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate celebrates the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We kick things off with an unorthodox, AI-generated Christmas song that takes a deep dive into the spiritual warfare behind the scenes of the Nativity. Nate also addresses the "Christmas tree controversy" for the last time this season—spoiler alert: nobody is actually worshipping the pine needles in their living room. The conversation turns to the core of the Gospel, exploring why Jesus, the eternal God, took on flesh to live among us and die for our sins. We also take a lighthearted look at holiday traditions around the world, from Russian Orthodox dates to the simple struggle of finding an open Starbucks on Christmas morning. Whether you're opening presents or just "twiddling your thumbs" waiting for dinner, join us for a relaxed, Christ-centered morning of fellowship.

    David Movie Reviews - Did King David Exist? Archaeology vs. AI & Dallas Street Preachers Arrested

    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 Dallas Preacher Arrests: We analyze the viral footage of Dallas police officers arresting Christian street preachers on public property for "not backing off" (watch here: https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/2003584909336871067?s=20). Nicki Minaj & Faith: Nicki Minaj reveals how going to church in New York changed her life, leading to a discussion on authenticity in faith (see the clip: https://x.com/WWUTTcom/status/2003246321852162217?s=20). King David & Archaeology: Is there real evidence for King David? We look at the Tel Dan Stele ([suspicious link removed]) and why your AI might be giving you the wrong historical data. The University of Oklahoma Controversy: A transgender instructor was fired after failing a student for citing the Bible (read more: https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/2003480694161572183?s=20). Whether you're a believer, a seeker, or one of the "pagans welcome" guests, join us for a serious (and occasionally sardonic) look at biblical truth in a digital world.

    Did John the Baptist Use Hate Speech? (Woke Pastor Reaction) & Buying Greenland?

    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 look at Summit Ministries and the vital importance of training young people in a Biblical worldview to combat Marxist ideologies. Chris shares his recent "cultural anthropology" trip to a PCA church in Atlanta that felt a little too "Third Way" for comfort—complete with non-communal communion and a distinct lack of expositional preaching. Finally, we react to a video of Muslims explaining why celebrating Christmas is blasphemous, and we end with a clip of a progressive Lutheran pastor actually canceling John the Baptist for using "hate-filled rhetoric" against the Pharisees. You can't make this stuff up.

    Is the Christmas Story True? Census, Virgin Birth & Genealogies Explained

    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 a "Queer Apocalyptic Nativity" from a Lutheran church that features a lesbian Mary and Jo bickering—because nothing says "Holy Night" like modern identity politics inserted into 1st-century Judea. Later, we open Jeremiah 10 to answer the age-old question: Is your Christmas tree actually a pagan idol that hates God? (Spoiler: St. Boniface and his axe might have something to say about that). Finally, we explore the strange world of Noahides and close with a deep dive into the alleged contradiction between the genealogies of Jesus in Matthew and Luke. We look at Eusebius, Levirate marriage, and how to solve the Curse of Jeconiah without breaking a sweat. 📚 Resources & Links: Reaction Video (Queer Nativity): Lutheran Church puts on "Queer Apocalyptic Nativity" - https://x.com/Protestia/status/2003051948740898953?s=20 Genealogy Video Played: The Genealogy of Jesus Christ (According to Eusebius) - https://youtu.be/U3bsAMyRwbw?si=M64ZL1XCjEr0QKZD For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 00:33 - Christmas Story Apologetics: The Census & Quirinius 04:17 - Does "Virgin" just mean "Young Maiden"? 08:24 - Addressing "Rape Apologetics" regarding Mary 23:33 - Christ the Lord: The Deity of Jesus 36:54 - Reaction: Lutheran Church's "Queer Apocalyptic Nativity" 45:41 - Jeremiah 10: Are Christmas Trees Idolatry? 54:45 - The Legend of St. Boniface & Thor's Oak 1:04:00 - What are Noahides? 1:21:46 - Why are Jesus' Genealogies Different?

    Is Atheism a Worldview? & Bible Contradiction: With Us or Against Us?

    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 Philosophy, metaphysics, and why "I just lack belief" might be a cop-out. Later, we tackle a listener's question about an apparent Bible contradiction: Jesus says "whoever is not with me is against me" in Matthew, but "whoever is not against us is for us" in Mark. Which is it? We also dive deep into theology with questions about Justification vs. Sanctification and a Muslim listener's confusion about how the "Word became flesh" (John 1:14) without God changing or ceasing to exist. Plus, reactions to Russell Brand’s AmFest prayer and Justin Bieber’s... unique gospel performance.

    Did Jesus Talk More About Hell Than Heaven? & Pete Hegseth's Chaplain Plan

    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 a meltdown trying to explain the difference between pill-pushers and feelings-talkers. We also tackle a tough ethical question: Is it hypocritical for Christians to oppose illegal immigration while breaking laws to be missionaries in hostile countries? Finally, we dive deep into theology: Does God actually torture people in Hell, or is it a self-imposed state of eternal rebellion? We fact-check the popular claim that Jesus spoke more about Hell than Heaven, and close with a philosophical look at why God must be Triune to exist at all. 📚 Resources & Links: Pete Hegseth on the Chaplain Corps: https://x.com/SecWar/status/2001113071108882526?s=20 Nativity Shepherds Fight: https://x.com/RosaryMum/status/2001387973145743768?s=20 For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com 00:00 - Intro 01:50 - If Jesus died for my sins, why is He still alive? 09:20 - Pete Hegseth on making the Chaplain Corps great again 13:40 - Discussion: Chaplains, therapy, and "woke" military 28:07 - Psychiatry vs. Psychology (Nate's Meltdown) 33:24 - Christian ethics: Illegal Immigration vs. Missionary Work 57:15 - Does God torture people in Hell?

    Are There Contradictions in the Bible? (Luke 2 Census) & What is Justification?

    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. Skeptics often claim Luke got the history wrong, but does new archaeological evidence regarding the Greek term for "governor" resolve the issue? We explore why Christians don't need to fear apparent contradictions in Scripture. We also react to a series of clips from the world of progressive "church," including a very unique land acknowledgment promoting gender ideology, a "drag spirituality" sermon, and a confusing take on the authorship of Lamentations. Finally, we get serious with a theological deep dive into the difference between Justification and Sanctification, exploring the Ordo Salutis (Order of Salvation) and why getting these definitions right matters for your walk with God. 📚 Resources & Links: Article: How to Face Apparent Contradictions in the Gospels - https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/apparent-contradictions-gospels/ Clip: "Pastor" uses land acknowledgement to promote diverse expressions - https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/2001036216825778240?s=20 Clip: "Drag Spirituality" at Shaughnessy Heights United Church - https://x.com/Protestia/status/2001252738576081178?s=20 Clip: Thoughts on the authorship of Lamentations - https://x.com/WokePreacherTV/status/2001257058851832233?s=20 News: Nicaragua Bans Tourists From Bringing Bibles - https://protestia.com/2025/12/15/nicaragua-bans-tourists-from-bringing-bibles-into-the-country/ For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com 00:00 - Intro 02:45 - Is AI Killing Music & Podcasting? 08:30 - Are There Contradictions in the Bible?

    How Should Christians Respond to Controversial Political Statements? (Trump Edition)

    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 command to "live at peace with all people." Should Christians call out hypocrisy when those who celebrated violence suddenly condemn Trump's words? Plus, we discuss Chick-fil-A's controversial DEI commitments and LGBTQ inclusivity (https://x.com/megbasham/status/2000634502377570329?s=20)—is this still Truett Cathy's Chick-fil-A, or has the Christian-founded company lost its way? Also covered: Roman Catholic Marian devotion and why Protestants find imagery of believers "tucking under Mary's train" deeply problematic (https://x.com/Protestia/status/2000594447751622704?s=20), churches performing Disney's Aladdin in worship services (https://x.com/Protestia/status/2000887252164207106?s=20), and the question of whether Christians should hire non-Christians for their businesses. This episode balances serious theological discussion with enough sarcasm to keep you engaged. Whether you're wrestling with how to respond politically as a Christian, questioning corporate values versus biblical principles, or just trying to survive Florida's apocalyptic 50-degree winter, we've got you covered. 📚 Resources & Links: • Aladdin performance in church - https://x.com/Protestia/status/2000887252164207106?s=20 • Chick-fil-A DEI commitments article - https://x.com/megbasham/status/2000634502377570329?s=20 • Roman Catholics and Mary's train - https://x.com/Protestia/status/2000594447751622704?s=20 For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com --- TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 05:00 - Aladdin in church: When Disney meets worship 22:15 - Trump's statement about Rob Reiner: Christian response 26:14 - Biblical perspective vs political perspective 27:47 - Addressing hypocrisy in political outrage 34:37 - Was Trump celebrating death or just being divisive? 48:00 - Discussion about Rob Reiner's son and tragedy 57:12 - Chick-fil-A's DEI commitments and LGBTQ inclusivity 1:10:16 - Should Christians hire non-Christians? 1:19:12 - Roman Catholic Mary worship and veneration 1:23:07 - Did Jesus die on Friday or Wednesday? 1:36:51 - Speaking in tongues and modern prophecy claims 1:59:00 - Final thoughts on self-deception and belief --- HASHTAGS: #AskAChristianPodcast #Christianity #ChristianPolitics #PoliticalDivision #BiblicalResponse #TrumpControversy #ChristianUnity #ChurchCulture #ReligiousDebate #ChristianApologetics #FaithAndPolitics #MarianDevotion #CatholicVsProtestant #ChickFilA #ChristianBusiness
