Welcome to the Ask A Christian Podcast! In this episode, host Nate is fueled by coffee and a surprising amount of sleep, ready to tackle a stack of Bible Q&A that would make any theologian slightly sweat. We dive headfirst into the age-old debate about what language Jesus spoke—spoiler alert: it’s not English—and the textual conundrum of the Septuagint vs. the Hebrew Masoretic text. Which one should your pastor be using? We’ll break down the history and the theological implications, so you can sound smarter at your next church potluck. The conversation then inevitably leads to the eternal headache for Sunday School teachers: explaining the Trinity. If you’ve ever tried to use the "water/ice/steam" analogy and regretted it, you’ll find company here. We also tackle tough questions like: Is the Holy Spirit just chilling in the Old Testament, or is He making appearances? Are Christians still under the Mosaic Law, or is all that ancient history? (The short answer is not what your legalistic cousin wants to hear.) Is the Bible truly the inerrant, Word of God, or does it merely contain the Word of God? This is the perfect episode for anyone seeking depth over devotionals, or for those who simply want to know if they should be reading their Bible in Aramaic.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
