(Spoiler alert: No, but grace isn't "fair" either, and we should probably be thankful for that) . We tackle the big questions: If God is just, why do "bad" things happen to "good" people—and are any of us actually "good" to begin with?. We explore penal substitutionary atonement, the difference be...

In this episode of the Ask A Christian podcast, host Nate and the crew dive into a weekend packed with news and deep theological questions.

In this episode of the Ask A Christian podcast, host Nate and "Church Father" Chris dive into a massive new study on issue polarization.
