  Can Demons Cause Mental Illness? & Was Jesus a Socialist?

  Oct 2, 20261h 19m

  In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate tackles two of the most debated questions in faith and culture today. First, a listener with schizophrenia and Tourette's asks why so many Christians claim mental illness is caused by demons—and whether you should quit your meds and just pray. Nate pushes back hard against this overzealous approach, explaining what the Bible actually says about healing, God's will, and why modern medicine is often an answered prayer. Then, the conversation shifts to politics: was Jesus a socialist? The panel breaks down the Acts church model, voluntary giving vs. forced redistribution, and why "my kingdom is not of this world" changes everything. Plus, Nate takes on an atheist caller in a tense debate about Bible reliability, prophecy fulfillment, and the 500 witnesses of the resurrection. Key questions discussed: Is schizophrenia really caused by demons, or is that dangerous theology? Should Christians take medication, or just pray for healing? Was Jesus a socialist? What does the Bible actually say? Did the early church practice communism? How do we know the Gospels are true? Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 00:33 - Is Homosexuality a Sin?

  Candace Owens "Lesbian" Scandal "You're ALL Gay — Why Attack Her?" + Sola Scriptura SHOWDOWN

  Oct 1, 20261h 20m

  In this episode of Ask a Christian Podcast, Nate kicks things off with the internet's favorite topic of the week: Candace Owens' alleged lesbian past. Dating profiles, kissing girls, college videos — it's all out there. Nate's take? From a Christian standpoint, any sex outside of marriage is sin, straight or gay. But the hypocrisy of her critics — many of whom are gay themselves — is the real story. "You're all freaking gay. Why are you criticizing her for being gay?" Then the episode takes a hard left into one of the most heated theological debates in church history: Sola Scriptura. A Catholic caller pushes back hard, arguing that Protestants only have "material sufficiency" of Scripture, not "formal sufficiency" — and that without the Church's interpretive authority, the Bible alone leads to chaos. Nate fires back with the canon's history, Athanasius, the early church, and the Holy Spirit's role in illuminating Scripture for every true believer. It gets heated. It gets deep. And it gets real. Plus: Old Testament genocide (Numbers 31, the Amalekites, and the "future crimes" argument), abortion as murder, whether "gay Christian" is a legitimate identity, Calvinism vs. Arminianism, error theory and metaethics, why there are so many denominations, and a Greek pagan who brings an entire philosophical argument for moral anti-realism. Timestamps: 00:00 — Candace Owens, lesbian rumors, and why Christians shouldn't be hypocrites 04:45 — Old Testament genocide: Did God command it? Was it just?

  How old are the New Testament manuscripts? And did God actually command Satan to go torment Job?

  Sep 30, 20261h 12m

  In this episode of Ask A Christian Podcast, we tackle two questions that trip people up constantly. First, the manuscript question: Is Codex Sinaiticus our best evidence, and it's from 400 AD—so how can scholars date the Gospels to the 100s AD? Even non-religious, atheist, and critical scholars typically date Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John to the first century, not the fourth. We explain the evidence they use—early fragments like P52, quotations from early church writers, and internal clues—and why "late" doesn't mean "unreliable." Second, the Job question: Does Job 1:6 actually say God commanded the sons of God to present themselves before Him? Does it say God summoned Satan and told him to go mess with Job? Read the verse. It says the sons of God came to present themselves—no command, no summons. And Satan? The Hebrew says he also came among them. He tagged along. He showed up. He wasn't ordered to be there. Yet somehow this text gets twisted into "God commanded Satan to go destroy Job's life," which is not what the verse says. We break down the Hebrew, look at what the text actually states (and doesn't state), and ask why people keep adding commands and summons that aren't in the text. If you've ever heard someone say "God told Satan to go after Job," this episode is for you. Serious about Scripture, honest about the hard questions, and occasionally a little cheeky about how badly some interpretations miss the plain reading of the text.

  What Should a Christian Look For in a Future Spouse?

  Sep 29, 202654 min

  What should a Christian actually look for in a future spouse—and can you trust your own heart to choose? In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and a panel of believers get practical about biblical marriage: why you shouldn't marry a lukewarm Christian, what Ephesians 5 really says about husbands and wives, and why "we fell out of love" isn't a biblical reason for divorce. One caller asks if it's even possible to choose a partner using logic and the leading of your heart—and the answer gets blunt: if you're not a Christian, your heart is deceitful above all things, so don't listen to it. The crew also tackles the bigger questions a former believer brings to the table, from the problem of evil to whether God chooses us before the foundation of the world. Whether you're single, dating, or already married and cringing, this one's for you.

  Episode #413

  Born Into Witchcraft & Attacked by Demons in Dreams? (Can You Pray for a Reprobate)

  Sep 28, 20261h 8m

  In this intense and deeply personal episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and guest Faith dive into the reality of spiritual warfare from a biblical perspective. Faith shares her powerful testimony of being born into witchcraft, experiencing religious trauma, and facing terrifying demonic nightmares where entities claimed "legal authority" over her due to generational covenants. We examine the critical question: Can a Christian be demon-possessed or cursed? Nate explains why the Bible says no, highlighting the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. We also tackle the controversial topic of theistic Satanism, exploring why some in elite circles might genuinely believe in and serve Satan, and whether Christians and Satanists can ever be friends. The conversation turns to the heartbreaking question of praying for a reprobate loved one, specifically Faith's mother, and whether prayers can open doors to spiritual attack. Nate provides a compassionate but firm biblical answer on God's sovereignty, the power of the name of Jesus, and the hope that no one is beyond redemption. Plus, a practical discussion on the Bible's strict stance on divorce, abuse, and remarriage. Key Questions Discussed: Can a Christian be possessed by demons or subject to generational curses? What does the Bible say about praying for someone with a reprobate mind? Is it possible to break free from spiritual legal agreements made by ancestors? What is the biblical perspective on divorce and remarriage in cases of abuse?
