Can you prove Jesus is God to a Jehovah's Witness in under 5 minutes? In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate tackles one of the most common questions from believers: how do you defend the Trinity when your JW friend calls you foolish for believing it? We walk through a powerful biblical argument using Psalm 102:24-27 and Hebrews 1:10-12 that demonstrates Jesus is Jehovah—a deathblow to the Jehovah's Witness position. No complicated theology required, just simple cross-referencing that even works in their own New World Translation. But that's not all. We dive deep into the shocking Maine court case where a judge banned a Christian mother from taking her daughter to Calvary Chapel—calling Bible-believing churches psychologically harmful. Is this religious freedom under attack, or just an isolated case? We break down what's happening and why every Christian should pay attention. Plus, we tackle the age-old dating question: what does "unequally yoked" really mean? Can a Calvinist marry a Pentecostal? What about different denominations? We get surprisingly practical (and occasionally sarcastic) about Christian relationships, marriage, and why your love language probably isn't as complicated as you think. From Trinity proofs to courtroom battles to relationship advice that doesn't sound like a Hallmark card—this episode covers it all. Whether you're preparing for your next conversation with a JW, concerned about religious liberty, or just trying to figure out if you should date that person from the other church, we've got biblical answers. 📚 Resources & Links: Appeal launched against court ruling on Bible-believing churches: https://caldronpool.com/appeal-launched-against-us-court-ruling-that-branded-bible-believing-churches-a-dangerous-cult/ Mom battles judge's order banning daughter from church: https://www.newsweek.com/mom-battles-judges-order-banning-taking-daughter-church-11058059 Maine Supreme Judicial Court oral arguments (starts at 28:00): https://www.youtube.com/live/GtXUHA8WtJk For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com TIMESTAMPS 0:00 - Intro 0:08 - Is Jesus Jehovah?
