    Was America a Christian Nation? Stop Surrendering History & How to Read the Bible

    Nate 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.

    Who is "Apostle" Kathryn Krick? Trans Senate Candidate Claims, And Disgraced Pastor's New Church

    This 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.

    How to Read The Bible + Planned Parenthood Pastor vs Abolitionists & Dumb Goat Herders?

    Jen 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.

    Did the Bible Change? Lion vs Wolf Mandela Effect Sparks 'Jesus Is the Father' Debate

    It'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.

    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.
