    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.

    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.

    Pastor Steven Anderson Begs God to Kill His Kids?! Can Women Be Pastors, Too?

    This episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast starts with a big win for persecuted believers: Congress is moving to tie U.S. security aid to Nigeria directly to measurable progress on protecting Christians from ongoing terrorist violence. Nate breaks down why he thinks funding God's people should be a national priority — and takes a shot at some, shall we say, less essential government-funded research along the way. Then things get dark fast. NIFB pastor Steven Anderson made headlines again after a sermon where he demanded his four eldest children publicly repent — or asked God to strike them down instead. Nate and the crew dig into the actual abuse allegations his children have made, walk through what 1 Timothy 3 and Titus actually require of a pastor, and ask the obvious question: how does a guy like this stay in the pulpit? Steph joins for a segment on Assemblies of God vs. Catholic vacation Bible school (don't worry, nobody starts speaking in tongues), before the conversation shifts into one of the most substantial debates of the episode: can a woman ever hold the title of "pastor"? The group works through the story of Lydia in Acts 16, wrestles with a hypothetical remote village where only women know the gospel, and lands on what actually separates biblical church governance from modern church culture. There's also a truly unhinged detour into an AI Jesus chatbot and a Trinity debate gone sideways on TikTok.

    HAPPY 250th USA! - Schrödinger's America, Mamdani's AC Hypocrisy, & Does the Bible Define Marriage?

    Happy 250th birthday, America! Nate kicks off this episode with an AI-generated patriotic song that captures what he calls "Schrödinger's America" — is the nation thriving or dying? You won't know until you open the box. From there, the crew dives into a Fourth of July news roundup, including NYC Mayor Mamdani getting caught red-handed after mandating a 78-degree office thermostat rule for "energy conservation" — only for a New York Post investigation to find his own City Hall running as cold as 54 degrees. Talk about leading by example. The show also covers France's National Assembly passing a euthanasia bill for the third time while rejecting a conscience clause for religious healthcare workers — a major religious liberty story out of Europe. Then it's back to the Ask A Christian Podcast's bread and butter: taking on viral TikTok apologetics content. Nate, Steph, and Pastor Sean respond to claims that the Bible doesn't really define marriage as one man and one woman, whether Satan is the one punishing people in Hell, a self-proclaimed "Bible scholar turned atheist" who insists Noah's Ark never happened, a lengthy list of demands an atheist creator says Christians must meet before she'll stop criticizing the faith, questions about angelic free will and the origin of Satan's rebellion, and a raw, emotional question about where God was during childhood abuse — one of the more serious moments in the episode. Along the way, the crew also debunks a viral claim that Josephus wasn't a contemporary of the apostles. It's a bit of everything this week: patriotism, politics, and some serious biblical apologetics, all wrapped up in the usual Ask A Christian Podcast style. 📚 Resources & Links Mamdani's City Hall AC hypocrisy (New York Post): https://nypost.com/2026/07/02/us-news/mamdani-cant-even-get-city-hall-to-stick-to-his-78-degree-ac-rule-as-temps-in-building-hit-as-low-as-54/ French euthanasia bill rejects conscience clause (Live Action News): https://www.liveaction.org/news/french-national-assembly-euthanasia-rejects-conscience-clause For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 - Intro & Happy 4th of July 0:24 - AI-generated patriotic song: "Sweet Land" (Schrödinger's America) 7:24 - Is America dying or thriving?

    Church Attacked With Flamethrowers & Crossbows—Is Christianity Oppressive of Women? SDA Wake-Up

    A man was arrested in a church parking lot in High Point, North Carolina carrying two flamethrowers, two crossbows, 500+ rounds of ammunition, body armor, and rolls of duct tape. Nate breaks down exactly what happened, why an off-duty officer's quick thinking stopped a potential tragedy, and why Christians should be paying a lot more attention to real violence against churches than to manufactured outrage over a VBS skit. (Full story here: https://redstate.com/jenniferoo/2026/07/02/a-man-targeted-a-north-carolina-church-with-arrows-and-flamethrowers-and-we-need-to-stop-this-insanity-n2203954) From there, Nate digs into a viral op-ed titled "Why We're Leaving the Seventh-day Adventist Church," walking through the actual doctrinal red flags that led one couple to walk away — soul sleep, investigative judgment, Ellen G. White's prophetic authority placed above Scripture, and more. If you've ever wondered what separates SDA teaching from mainstream Christianity, this is the breakdown. (Read it here: https://protestia.com/2026/07/02/oped-why-were-leaving-the-seventh-day-adventist-church/) The crew also tackles the big theological question that keeps resurfacing this week: is Christianity actually oppressive to women? Nate and Steph go verse by verse through Ephesians 5 to address the "wives submit to your husbands" line head-on, tackle claims that Christianity is inherently racist or violent, and dismantle the "no true Christian" fallacy along the way. Add in a viral tarot-to-Christianity conversion story that sparked the whole debate, the Frankie Muniz divorce, the classic problem of evil, a skeptic's attempt to take down Moses, Lego's return to Pride marketing, and Steph's very real ongoing tax situation — it's a full episode.
