    Allie Beth Stuckey Called Him "DEMONIC" | ATNQ Ep14

    Why are so many prominent evangelical influencers losing their minds over James Talarico? In this episode, we break down the evangelical panic surrounding the Texas Democrat who just won his Senate primary — and we react to some of the worst takes from Allie Beth Stuckey, Mark Driscoll, andothers. We dig into Talarico's actual policy positions, fact-check clips that were deliberately cut out of context, and have a real conversation about intellectual humility, liberation theology, what the Bible actually says about immigration, and why "biblical view" doesn't mean what they think it means.TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Cold Open: Matthew 25 & The Judgment of Nations 0:40 - Welcome to Episode 14! 1:06 - Who We Are: Not Your Average Christian Podcast 3:25 - Why Atheists Still Listen to Gospel Music 5:14 - James Talarico: Why Evangelicals Are Scared 7:00 - Talarico's Background: Teacher, Seminary Student, Future Pastor 9:00 - Did Race Play a Role in Beating Jasmine Crockett? 11:13 - Talarico's Policy Positions Breakdown 13:20 - Political Calculation vs. Authenticity 14:15 - Hasan's Warning: Tucker vs. Newsom in 2028? 16:04 - Anti-Zionism vs. Anti-Semitism (Important Distinction) 18:38 - Evangelical Reactions: Tweets & Hot Takes 21:15 - Mark Driscoll's Hypocrisy & The NDA Scandal 24:01 - Reacting to Allie Beth Stuckey: She Cut His Quote! 28:10 - "God Is Love" — But What Does That Actually Mean? 32:01 - Matthew 25: How God Judges Nations 34:55 - There's No Single "Biblical View" (And That's OK) 37:00 - "Nothing Beautiful About Islam"?! — Biggest L of the Episode 44:00 - Reading the Bible vs. Reading the Newspaper 47:19 - James Cone & Liberation Theology 49:55 - Why Talarico Actually Matters for the Left 53:10 - Final Thoughts + Help Us Hit 2K Subscribers!

    Ex-Ministers React to the Theology Running American Foreign Policy | ATNQ EP 12

    Military commanders saying Trump was anointed by God to start Armageddon, the Iran war nobody can explain, Kristi Noem getting fired, and Shia LaBeouf being a coward in a nice sweater.Joshua and Colten break down the viral story about a military commander allegedly telling troops that Trump was chosen by God to hasten the return of Jesus, and why the story might not be as solid as it went viral. Then they get into what's actually going on with the Iran strikes, why none of the official explanations make any sense, and what people reaching for The Fourth Turning and random YouTube prophets says about how we cope with uncertainty.They also get into the theology that actually matters here. Pre-mil vs post-mil is not just nerdy Christian trivia when the people running the Pentagon might believe one of them.Plus Kristi Noem is out at DHS, Mark Wayne Mullin is in (yes, that guy), Shia LaBeouf went on Channel 5 and said some things he probably should not have said, and Joshua and Colten have thoughts about all of it.Ask the Next Question drops every week.
