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?
