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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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 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

Host Nate kicks off this episode by roasting Chris's "church" – complete with 20-foot flying drummer boys, back-flipping elves, and snowflakes from the rafters. Because nothing says "Holy Spirit" quite like a $10 million light show and circus acrobatics, right? Apparently, the Apostle Paul's archaeological smoke machine approves. Then things get serious (sort of) when we tackle a genuinely bizarre claim: is it a SIN to listen to gospel music with instruments outside of church? We dive into the regulative principle of worship, the normative principle, and whether your Spotify playlist is sending you straight to hell. Spoiler: probably not, but the debate gets heated. The conversation shifts to original sin, total depravity, and whether babies are born sinners. Are infants guilty before they've even committed their first sin? Is total depravity the same as total inability? Can Pentecostals and Calvinists actually agree on something? (Short answer: it's complicated.) We break down prevenient grace, inherited sin nature, and why the guilt vs. consequence debate actually matters for understanding salvation. And of course, what's an Ask A Christian episode without a Calvinism vs. Arminianism debate spiraling out of control? We attempt to solve the predestination issue (spoiler: we don't), someone drops some spicy language, and Nate has to play referee before escaping to save his sanity.

What is original sin, and do babies inherit guilt from Adam? In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate tackles one of Christianity’s most misunderstood doctrines—original sin—and whether infants are born guilty before God or just born into a fallen world. We dive deep into the debate between original sin (inheriting both sin nature AND guilt) versus ancestral sin (Eastern Orthodox view: sin nature without guilt). Do babies who die go to heaven? If we’re all “born dead in sin,” how does God’s grace work for infants who never hear the gospel? Nate walks through multiple biblical possibilities—from extraordinary grace to elect infants to the moment-of-death encounter with Jesus—that answer this emotionally charged question without sacrificing theological integrity. Then things get spicy: we explore AI mental health (yes, really). A groundbreaking study reveals ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI models exhibit symptoms of anxiety, OCD, dissociation, and even psychopathic tendencies when assessed by clinical psychologists. Grok comes out the most “stable.” What does this mean for AI safety, bias, and the future of technology? Spoiler: maybe stop screaming at your AI assistant. We also tackle replacement theology—does the Church replace Israel in God’s plan? Chris breaks down why “replacement theology” is often a slur, what Reformed theologians actually believe about ethnic Israel’s future, and why Romans 11:26 suggests a massive end-times revival among the Jewish people. Plus: heated exchanges with a skeptic about whether God exists, why karma fails as a worldview, how Christians invented MRIs (you’re welcome), and why the Red-Green Alliance between Islam and Marxism is the geopolitical threat nobody wants to admit. Spoiler: history rhymes, and Europe is the cautionary tale. If you’ve ever wondered whether original sin makes sense, whether your AI is having a mental breakdown, or why Christians should care about Islam more than atheists do—this episode is for you. 📚 Resources & Links: PsAIch Protocol Study on AI Mental Health: https://www.emergentmind.com/topics/psaich-protocol For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro 01:51 - What is original sin?

In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate starts by urging listeners to support Christians in business (yes, including Mike Lindell’s MyPillow instead of Demon Corp. Brand X), then shifts into weightier matters: eternity. We pray for Roy’s upcoming open-heart surgery and talk about trusting God through serious health trials. From there, the room dives into: Why did Adam and Eve sin in the Garden if God called creation “very good”? Did God intend the Fall, and how does that relate to His glory and sovereignty? What is kinism, and how is it different from (or the same as) racism? We discuss Joel Webbon, ethnic separatism, and whether “Christian kinism” is just religiously dressed-up racial ideology. Is “infinite wrath” compatible with “infinite love”? We tackle universalism, covenant love vs. common grace, and the big question: Does God actually love everybody in the same way? Are we born “children of wrath”? What about babies, original sin, and the justice of hell? Do people keep sinning in hell, and is eternal punishment for “finite sins” really fair? The core of the episode: Why didn’t God have mercy on His Son Jesus? Nate lays out the full gospel—why the Father did not spare the Son, how Christ willingly bore God’s wrath in our place, and why our own “good works” are just spiritual garbage as a basis for forgiveness. Finally, a deep dive into atonement theories: Penal Substitutionary Atonement vs. Christus Victor vs. other models. Did God really pour out His wrath on Jesus, or is that “cosmic child abuse”? What happens to justice if we remove wrath from the cross? If you’ve ever wrestled with whether God loves everyone, how hell can be just, or what exactly happened at the cross, this episode goes all the way down the rabbit hole (and then keeps digging). 📚 Resources & Links: Support Mike Lindell & Christians in business (use code “alex”): https://www.mypillow.com/alex For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro, spam rant & supporting Christian businesses (MyPillow, BedJet) 17:20 - Roy’s upcoming open-heart bypass surgery & trusting God with suffering 31:00 - Why did Adam and Eve sin in the Garden of Eden? 38:45 - Joel Webbon, kinism and racism in the church 57:45 - Infinite love vs infinite wrath, universalism & does God love everyone? 01:07:05 - Why didn’t God have mercy on His Son Jesus?

What is sin? How do I know I’m saved? And did Saul die by suicide or murder? In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the team tackle some of the most-searched theological questions on the internet—plus a healthy dose of hilariously bad AI-generated intro songs. We kick off with “What is sin?”—apparently the most Googled Christian question in its category. Chris delivers a masterclass in under 3 minutes: sin is lawlessness, a violation of God’s holy character. We walk through Romans, Acts 16:30-31, and the Gospel in the simplest terms possible—because if you can’t explain salvation clearly, you’re doing it wrong. Next, we dive into divine command theory vs. moral objectivity. Does God command things because they’re good, or are they good because God commands them? We tackle Old Testament controversies like slavery, genocide, the Amalekites, and whether God can be held accountable for the existence of evil. (Spoiler: primary vs. secondary causes matter, and no, Christianity doesn’t hold to arbitrary divine commands.) Then things get textually interesting: Did Saul commit suicide, or was he killed by an Amalekite? Steph brings a genuine Old Testament contradiction to the table—1 Samuel 31 vs. 2 Samuel 1—and we work through three plausible explanations involving lying Amalekites, failed suicide attempts, and the literary theme of deception in the books of Samuel. Rabbinical sources, the Hebrew word ger (sojourner/convert), and textual criticism all make an appearance. And because we can’t help ourselves, we preview multiple AI-generated intro songs that range from pop-punk to reggae to bluegrass. They’re terrible. You’re welcome. Whether you’re exploring Christianity for the first time, wrestling with hard Old Testament passages, or just here for the chaos, this episode has something for you—plus a reminder that Google doesn’t work fine for theology, no matter what the song says.

In today’s episode of the Ask A Christian podcast, we hit a wide range of controversial and curious topics: Tithing… again. We respond to a new round of online discussion about tithing, prompted by a recent Protestia post, and talk about what the New Testament actually requires of Christians when it comes to giving. Protestia tweet: https://x.com/Protestia/status/1997989772904595868?s=20 The viral “old woman and alligator” video in Naples. Is this clip legit or staged? We talk about the video, how easily people are fooled by viral content, and why Christians should care about truth even in the age of clickbait. Video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DR84qTAjYrB Kirk Cameron & annihilationism. Kirk Cameron recently suggested that hell is not eternal, and that annihilationism is the correct view. We walk through what annihilationism is, what most Christians have historically believed about hell, and look at key Scriptures often quoted on both sides. Tweet: https://x.com/SlowToWrite/status/1997818197618426112?s=20 Verses on hell: https://www.openbible.info/topics/hell Mandela Effect: Is the devil changing the Bible? Some people claim verses “used to read differently” and blame the so‑called Mandela Effect—or even Satan literally altering Scripture. We examine what the Mandela Effect is, how memory actually works, and why we can trust the preservation of God’s Word. We hope this conversation equips you to think biblically about money, media, doctrine, and discernment in a world full of half-truths and viral confusion. #AskAChristian #ChristianPodcast #Tithing #Hell #Annihilationism #KirkCameron #MandelaEffect #BibleStudy #ChristianTheology #Discernment #Apologetics #ViralVideo

Is salvation truly a free gift, or do we choose God? In this heated episode of Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate tackles one of Christianity's most divisive debates: Calvinism vs Arminianism, free will vs predestination, and whether we have any say in our salvation. The conversation kicks off with a biblical "contradiction" about who incited David to take the census—was it God or Satan? Spoiler: it's not actually a contradiction, but the explanation launches a marathon discussion about God's sovereignty, compatibilism, and whether your eternal destiny was decided before you were born. Key questions explored: Is salvation really a "free gift" if you have to do something to receive it? Does God violate free will by hardening Pharaoh's heart? Can you truly choose to believe, or is belief involuntary? What's the difference between Calvinistic and Arminian views of grace? If God predestines everything, why evangelize? Featuring passionate exchanges between Calvinists and non-Calvinists, a frustrated atheist caller pressing the "is it a gift or not?" question, and Nate's exasperated plea to focus on the gospel instead of theological rabbit holes. Plus: a neuroplasticity detour, Romans 1 references, and a reminder that arguing about predestination won't save anyone. Whether you're reformed, Arminian, or just confused, this episode will make you think—and maybe laugh at how Christians can turn a simple question into a 90-minute theological cage match.

In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate tackles some of the most controversial issues facing the modern church—and let's just say, it wasn't the theological deep dive he was hoping for today. From the Vatican's new document allowing openly gay (but celibate) men into the priesthood, to churches politicizing Christmas with ICE-themed nativity scenes, to Canada's alarming expansion of medically assisted suicide—this episode covers the stories that have Christians asking: what happened to just preaching the gospel? Nate and the crew discuss why identity politics don't belong in the pulpit, whether "gay and celibate" is even a biblical framework, and why progressive churches seem more interested in social activism than Scripture. Plus: the heartbreaking reality of Canada's MAID program, Joe Rogan's baffling take on AI Jesus, and why someone marrying a shrimp might be the perfect argument for bringing back asylums. This isn't your average Sunday school discussion—expect biblical truth mixed with cultural commentary, a healthy dose of frustration at rainbow clergy, and probably too many Franklin the Turtle memes. Whether you're here for apologetics, current events, or just to hear Christians try to make sense of an increasingly absurd world, this episode delivers. Key topics: Vatican gay priest policy, church politicization, ICE nativity scenes, Canadian euthanasia crisis, MAID program abuses, identity in Christ vs. cultural identity, Joe Rogan AI Jesus theory, Christian persecution in Canada, asylum closures and homelessness. 📚 Resources & Links: Vatican approves gay priests document - https://www.ncronline.org/vatican/vatican-news/vatican-approves-document-allowing-gay-men-become-priests-italy ICE nativity scene controversy - https://www.foxnews.com/us/church-sparks-controversy-empty-nativity-scene-ice-enforcement-message-politicizing-christmas Canada euthanasia statistics - https://notthebee.com/article/canada-euthanizes-world-record-16499-people-in-2024 Calgary MAID court case - https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/calgary-maid-father-daughter-court-injunction-judicial-review-decision-1.7154794 Health Canada MAID annual report - https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/publications/health-system-services/annual-report-medical-assistance-dying-2024.html Indigenous woman's MAID case - https://www.aptnnews.ca/investigates/love-grief-and-peace-inside-the-legal-right-to-die/ Joe Rogan AI Jesus clip - https://notthebee.com/article/joe-rogan-seems-to-believe-that-jesus-christ-could-return--as-ai For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com Timestamps 00:00 - Intro 02:32 - Vatican approves gay priests document 10:34 - Catholic church allows gay men to priesthood discussion 17:12 - Methodist pastor transitions announcement 20:22 - Church politicizes Christmas with ICE nativity scene 38:55 - Canada euthanasia crisis - 16,499 deaths in 2024 42:54 - MAID program abuses and ethical concerns 54:03 - Asylum closures and involuntary commitment debate 1:03:11 - Joe Rogan's AI Jesus theory debunked 1:08:22 - Closing thoughts Hashtags #AskAChristianPodcast #Christianity #VaticanNews #GayPriests #ChurchControversy #BiblicalTruth #ChristianApologetics #CatholicChurch #IdentityInChrist #Euthanasia #MAID #ChristianPodcast #FaithAndCulture #ChurchPolitics #Gospel

In this wild episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate tackles some of the internet’s most bizarre questions: Was Jesus Asian? Who are the “true Jews”? Was Jesus a Nazarene or a Nazirite? (Spoiler: there’s a difference, and it matters.) We dive deep into biblical geography, exploring the difference between Near East, Middle East, and Far East—because apparently Jesus’ continental classification is now a theological battleground. Is Israel in Asia? Were the Israelites Middle Eastern or Asian? Why do British people call Pakistanis “Asian” while Americans reserve that term for East Asians? We sort through the confusion with help from some very patient explanations about etymology, geography, and why none of this affects the Gospel. Then we examine the disturbing “progressive Christianity” on display at Lake Street Church of Evanston, where a nativity scene features zip-tied baby Jesus and Roman soldiers dressed as ICE agents (https://protestia.com/2025/12/01/church-nativity-scene-features-zip-tied-baby-jesus-roman-soliders-as-ice-agents/). Their church covenant mentions everything except Jesus—which is apparently fine when you worship “God, whoever she may be.” We read their covenant in the most Anglican voice possible, because if you’re going to critique heresy, you might as well have fun with it. Finally, we defend Skillet’s heavy metal rendition of “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” (https://protestia.com/2025/11/17/song-review-skillets-o-come-o-come-emmanuel/) against pearl-clutching critics who think electric guitars are demonic. The band has remained faithful while other Christian artists have apostatized, yet some believers are more concerned about musical style than theological substance. We watch the full music video and discuss why Christians should celebrate faithful artists—even if they use distortion pedals. Also covered: spiritual Israel vs. ethnic Israel, whether Christians are “grafted in” Jews, why Jesus was called a Nazarene, the Church of the Nazarene (briefly), God’s chosen people, and why '90s Christian rock samplers were the peak of youth group culture. 📚 Resources & Links: • Church Nativity Scene with Zip-Tied Jesus - https://protestia.com/2025/12/01/church-nativity-scene-features-zip-tied-baby-jesus-roman-soliders-as-ice-agents/ • Song Review: Skillet’s O Come, O Come Emmanuel - https://protestia.com/2025/11/17/song-review-skillets-o-come-o-come-emmanuel/ • Skillet - O Come, O Come Emmanuel (Official Music Video) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiErbpZHfbk For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro 02:00 - Was Jesus Asian?

Host Nate tackles the classic Pentecostal vs. traditional Christian debate: Is baptism of the Holy Spirit a “second blessing” separate from salvation, or does it happen at the moment of conversion? We dive into Acts, Romans, and the scriptural case for both sides—plus why misrepresenting each other’s beliefs doesn’t help the conversation. Also featured: a charitable yet biblical perspective on how Christians should talk to transgender individuals, a look at the surprisingly controversial VidAngel streaming service (and its Mormon legal battles), and a healthy dose of Nate’s post-Thanksgiving doomscrolling through the wildest corners of X.

Was America really founded as a Christian nation, or is that just wishful thinking from modern evangelicals? In this episode of Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate takes a deep dive into the original state constitutions from 1776-1784 and uncovers something most people never learned in history class: 9 out of 14 original states required officeholders to profess Christian faith—and many explicitly demanded Trinitarian belief. After a trip to Kennedy Space Center (and discovering Buzz Aldrin took communion on the moon—NASA kept that quiet), Nate tackles the common claim that America's founders were just deists or Enlightenment rationalists. Spoiler: Delaware's 1776 constitution required legislators to affirm faith in "God the Father and in Jesus Christ his only son and in the Holy Ghost, one God, blessed forevermore." Try being a Unitarian or deist while taking that oath. We examine the actual text of early state constitutions, explore why NASA suppressed religious expressions in space (thanks, Madalyn Murray O'Hair), and break down a viral Charlie Kirk clip that covers everything from the Treaty of Tripoli to why Leviticus appears on the Liberty Bell. Plus: why the "separation of church and state" argument misses the entire point about state sovereignty. Whether you're a Christian defending America's heritage, a skeptic who thinks this is all revisionism, or just someone who wants the actual historical documents—this episode brings the receipts. 📚 Resources & Links: Buzz Aldrin took communion on the moon: https://www.history.com/articles/buzz-aldrin-communion-apollo-11-nasa Religious Tests in State Constitutions 1776-1784: https://csac.history.wisc.edu/religion-and-the-ratification/religious-test-clause/religious-tests-and-oaths-in-state-constitutions-1776-1784 Are We a Christian Nation?: https://wm.wts.edu/magazine-articles/are-we-a-christian-nation Charlie Kirk viral clip - America is a Christian Nation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6R_-AvCUsQ For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com Timestamps 00:00 - Intro 04:12 - Kennedy Space Center visit recap 09:18 - Buzz Aldrin took communion on the moon 13:00 - America's secular spiral after NASA cover-up 15:07 - Columbia disaster and Israeli astronaut 16:01 - Public acknowledgment of lunar communion 21:15 - Were America's founders Christian or deist? 23:10 - Original 13 colonies' religious requirements 27:28 - Delaware 1776: Trinitarian oath required 32:40 - Reading state constitutions from 1776-1784 42:54 - Understanding "Protestant religion" in 1776 46:48 - Was the US ever a Christian nation? 55:00 - Charlie Kirk explains America's Christian founding 1:04:00 - Closing thoughts on church and state Hashtags #AskAChristianPodcast #ChristianNation #AmericanHistory #Christianity #FoundingFathers #BuzzAldrin #NASA #StateConstitutions #Faith #Bible #ChristianApologetics #ReligiousFreedom #ChurchAndState #USHistory #Constitution
