Ever wondered how King Solomon built the Temple without iron tools? In this wild Friday episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate kicks off with the gospel essentials—repent, believe, and call on Jesus for salvation (Romans 10:9)—before diving into the Talmud's bizarre "Shamir" legend: a magical worm that supposedly carved stones for the Temple, invented to dodge God's actual commands. We unpack the dangers of Christian legalism, from extra-biblical traditions in Judaism and Catholicism to Calvinist rule-piling, and why Jesus warned against Pharisees' burdens (Matthew 23). Plus, conspiracy corner hits hard with the shadowy "Council of 13" Illuminati families pulling global strings, a furry fellowship revelation that had us howling (literally), and biblical numerology on Jesus' 39 lashes vs. the symbolic 40. If faith feels like a rulebook instead of grace, this is your wake-up call—because nothing says "spiritual growth" like debating worm-powered architecture. Tune in for laughs, Scripture, and a nudge toward real freedom in Christ.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
