In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate breaks down the chilling "federal assassin" manifesto released by White House Correspondents’ Dinner gunman Cole Allen. We examine the disturbing intersection of his anti-Trump rhetoric and his claims regarding the Christian faith. Then, we head to Northern Ireland, where 76-year-old retired pastor Clive Johnston faces criminal charges for the "crime" of preaching John 3:16 near a hospital—is the Gospel now considered a "protest"? Finally, we dive into the monumental archaeological discovery at the University of Glasgow involving 42 lost pages of the New Testament (Codex H) and the resurfacing of the Archimedes Palimpsest.
