In this episode, we kick things off with a listener question: If Jesus died for our sins, why is He still alive? (Spoiler: You can’t keep a good God down). We then react to "Secretary of War" Pete Hegseth’s viral plan to "Make the Chaplain Corps Great Again" by removing secular humanism and restoring actual religion to the military. Things get heated—and confusing—during a debate on Psychiatry vs. Psychology, where Nate nearly has a meltdown trying to explain the difference between pill-pushers and feelings-talkers. We also tackle a tough ethical question: Is it hypocritical for Christians to oppose illegal immigration while breaking laws to be missionaries in hostile countries? Finally, we dive deep into theology: Does God actually torture people in Hell, or is it a self-imposed state of eternal rebellion? We fact-check the popular claim that Jesus spoke more about Hell than Heaven, and close with a philosophical look at why God must be Triune to exist at all. 📚 Resources & Links: Pete Hegseth on the Chaplain Corps: https://x.com/SecWar/status/2001113071108882526?s=20 Nativity Shepherds Fight: https://x.com/RosaryMum/status/2001387973145743768?s=20 For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com 00:00 - Intro 01:50 - If Jesus died for my sins, why is He still alive? 09:20 - Pete Hegseth on making the Chaplain Corps great again 13:40 - Discussion: Chaplains, therapy, and "woke" military 28:07 - Psychiatry vs. Psychology (Nate's Meltdown) 33:24 - Christian ethics: Illegal Immigration vs. Missionary Work 57:15 - Does God torture people in Hell?
