In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate (with Sean, Steph, and special guest atheist Michael) reacts to a wild “conversation in tongues” between prosperity preacher John Anosike and a follower, then tears into Holy Nope clips of pastors hawking weight-loss miracles and “pay God’s bills.”
They dig into biblical tithing versus the New Testament call to generous giving, and spend serious time answering a woman’s five questions that supposedly led her from 23 years as a Christian to agnostic atheism: Who is God in the Bible? Does an all-knowing God create people He knows will suffer forever? Why punish people for being deceived? Why does God care about belief rather than works for salvation? And does free will exist in heaven?
Expect clear Scripture (Galatians on faith alone, 1 Corinthians on tongues, free will and the nature of Christ), charitable pushback, and the usual light banter. No prosperity seed-sowing required.
