ARE CHRISTIANS REALLY WORSHIPPING THE ANTICHRIST? | IS BIRTH CONTROL A SIN? | IS IVF A SIN?

🙏 Before we dive into today’s episode, please join us in prayer for Shon, Steph, Chris, Nate, and all the Ask A Christian regulars — everyone faces trials, sickness, technical struggles, and life’s mess. Let’s pause and lift all believers, loved ones, and those in need into God’s hands right now. In this episode of Ask A Christian, we wrestle with big, provocative questions believers are typing into YouTube and search bars around the world: Timestamps: 00:00 - Welcome! 4:00 - Are Christians Worshipping the Antichrist? 26:12 - Can You Sin in Your Dreams? 37:22 - Who was Jenny Geddes, the woman who started a riot with a stool? 39:25 - Is Birth Control a Sin? 41:23 - Is IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) a Sin? 1:24:52 - A Prayer for Healing for the Hosts & Community. 1:34:45 - Is All Public Prayer a Sin? 1:48:49 - Tech Talk: Troubleshooting Router Issues. ARE CHRISTIANS ACTUALLY WORSHIPPING THE ANTICHRIST? We respond to Richard Carrier’s controversial article that argues many Christians, by misreading Scripture, are unknowingly embracing the Antichrist rather than Christ. IS BIRTH CONTROL A SIN? We dig into biblical, theological, and conscience-based views on contraception. CAN YOU SEND IN YOUR DREAMS? What does the Bible say about prophetic dreams, and how should Christians interpret them? WHO WAS JENNY GEDDES — THE SCOTTISH WOMAN WHO RAPIDLY IGNITED A RELIGIOUS RIOT? The legend of Jenny Geddes, her defiant stool-tossing in St. Giles’ Cathedral (1637), and her legacy in Presbyterian memory. IS IVF (IN VITRO FERTILIZATION) SINFUL? We evaluate ethical, theological, and pastoral considerations around IVF from a Christian perspective. IS PUBLIC PRAYER SIN? Revisiting Carrier’s claim: if Jesus taught us to “pray in secret,” does that condemn all public prayer — in churches, schools, courts, or before events? At the end, we publicly pray together — especially for Shon, Steph, Chris, Nate, and the Ask A Christian family.

What is Tithing? What is Church Discipline? What is the One True Church? What Christian Music Should I Listen To?

Ever wondered: Is tithing biblical for Christians today? Should you expect financial blessings as a Christian? In this latest episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, we dive deep into biblical principles of money and prosperity—unpacking the dangers of the prosperity gospel critique, what true financial breakthrough looks like in Scripture, and how to pursue godly wealth without falling into heresy. Is the prosperity gospel a con or a biblical promise? We tackle long-tail questions like "what is tithing in the Bible," "is tithing required for Christians," and "how to get financial blessings from God" with straight-from-Scripture answers.
But that's not all—we get real and hilarious with "why do all men wear gray sweatpants except one?" (spoiler: it's a lighthearted roast on fashion fails and Christian modesty). Then, we shift to core theology: What is sin in Christianity? From original sin to daily rebellion against God, we break down the biblical definition and why it matters for your walk with Jesus.
Next up: What is church discipline? Is it loving correction or harsh judgment? We explore Matthew 18's blueprint for restoring the wandering sheep in the body of Christ. And in a bold takedown of exclusivism, we ask: What is the one true church? Can Catholics be saved? We contrast Catholic and Eastern Orthodox claims of "no salvation outside our church" with the Bible's universal call to faith in Christ alone—addressing "can you be saved outside the Catholic Church" and why the invisible church of all believers triumphs over denominational gates.
Finally, worship warriors, beware: Can I listen to all Christian music? What kind of Christian music should I listen to? We expose heresies in popular worship songs from Hillsong, Bethel, and Elevation—think modalism, bad theology, and emotional manipulation. Is your playlist leading you to truth or subtle deception? Get discernment tips to keep your heart aligned with sound doctrine.
Whether you're battling debt, questioning doctrine, or just chuckling at sweatpants season, this episode equips you to live boldly for Christ. Tune in for laughs, truth bombs, and zero fluff—because real faith answers real questions. Subscribe for more biblical breakdowns on apologetics, current events, and everyday Christian living.

WHAT IS FAITH? SCIENCE BOOM? ANGLICAN HERESY SPLIT? EVIL BETTER IN ZOROASTRIANISM? JESUS IN GARDEN

Discover biblical answers to life's toughest questions in the latest episode of Ask A Christian Podcast! Dive deep into what is faith in Christianity – is it just belief, or total trust in God's promises like Hebrews 11:1 says? We unpack why faith means confidence in Jesus Christ as Savior, even when life gets tough. Then, explore why did humans advance so fast in science and technology after thousands of years of slow progress – is it exponential innovation, population growth, or God's design accelerating knowledge like in Daniel 12:4? Could this "light-speed" boom in AI, space travel, and quantum physics point to end-times prophecy or just human ingenuity unlocking creation's secrets? Shocking update on the Anglican Church new Archbishop Sarah Mullally appointment – why is the Church of England poised to lose 40 million members over heresy accusations like female leadership and same-sex blessings? We break down the Gafcon split, conservative backlash, and what it means for global Christianity. Drawing in history buffs and church scandal seekers: Is this the biggest Anglican crisis since Henry VIII? Ever wondered, does Zoroastrianism explain evil better than Christianity? We compare dualism (Ahura Mazda vs. Angra Mainyu) to the Bible's view of Satan and free will – spoiler: Christianity's triumph of good through Christ wins every time. Perfect for comparative religion fans, philosophy seekers, or anyone grappling with the problem of evil in a broken world. Relive Jesus' state of mind in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before his arrest – was he in agony, sweating blood from sorrow (Luke 22:44), yet submitting "not my will, but yours" (Luke 22:42)? Feel the raw humanity and divine resolve in this pivotal moment. Ties into mental health discussions: How Jesus modeled facing fear, anxiety, and betrayal with prayer. Core doctrine alert: What is the Trinity in Christianity? We explain one God in three persons – Father, Son, Holy Spirit – equal yet distinct, from Nicene Creed basics to everyday analogies like water's states (solid, liquid, gas). Then, tackle tough verses from Corinthians, John, and Exodus proving Jesus is God (John 1:1, 8:58; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Exodus 3:14's "I AM") – but is Jesus subject to the Father, making him lesser? No – eternal roles in the Godhead, not inequality (1 Corinthians 15:28). Great for skeptics, new believers, or theology nerds questioning divinity. Whether you're searching for Christian apologetics on rapid technological advancement and biblical prophecy, Anglican Communion schism explained, Zoroastrianism vs Christianity on good vs evil, Jesus in Gethsemane emotional breakdown, or Trinity doctrine simplified with proof texts, this episode has it all. We bridge faith with science (evolution debates, innovation ethics), history (ancient religions influencing modern beliefs), philosophy (problem of evil solutions), and culture (church politics today). Listeners from atheism to agnosticism, history podcasts to mental health journeys – if you're curious about how faith intersects with exploding tech progress or why churches split over heresy like female bishops, hit play!

Does God Answer Prayers? Lord of the Sabbath - Bad Bunny NFL Halftime Show Outrage Insanity!

Does God answer unanswered prayers? How do you know if you’re praying in God’s will, and what does it mean when the answer seems to be “no” or silence? We dig into Scripture, God’s will in prayer, and how to discern His answers. Then we look at the Lord Of The Sabbath debates and why Jesus kept being pushed to “prove” He wasn’t God—what that reveals about His identity and the claims He made. We also tackle the Bad Bunny NFL halftime show controversy (drag/dresses, culture, and the Overton window), why Christians are so divided on whether to speak out, and how to respond with conviction and grace. Plus, some children’s books to help Chris—and your kids—learn how to make better friends.
