In this episode of the Ask a Christian podcast, host Nate dives into a variety of engaging and thought-provoking topics. The conversation kicks off with a question that’s surprisingly controversial in some Christian circles: Is it okay for Christians to celebrate birthdays? We explore the biblical basis for and against celebrating personal milestones and whether such celebrations are inherently Christian or simply a harmless cultural tradition. Nate and the guests discuss whether this practice aligns with biblical principles and how different Christian denominations might approach it.

Next, the discussion moves into the realm of prophecy and Psalms 83. This part of the episode unpacks the often-debated Psalm and its prophetic implications, exploring whether it refers to past events or if it’s a foreshadowing of future conflicts. The conversation delves into the role prophecy plays in the Old Testament and how modern Christians should interpret these ancient writings in light of current world events.

Continuing with the theme of prophecy, Nate addresses the topic of women prophetesses in the Old Testament. The conversation revolves around figures like Deborah and Huldah, examining whether their roles were a sign of God's judgment as suggested in Isaiah 3, or if they were simply empowered by God to lead in a male-dominated society. Is the presence of female prophets a reflection of God’s grace or His rebuke of the male leaders of Israel at the time? This segment tackles some deep theological implications and explores how these ancient roles might influence how we view women in ministry today.

Then, things take a festive turn as we shift to the age-old question: Is Christmas Pagan, and should Christians celebrate it? With Christmas trees, Santa Claus, and holiday traditions that may have pagan roots, many Christians have wondered if celebrating this holiday is appropriate. Nate and the guests explore the origins of Christmas, how it has evolved over centuries, and whether its current form is a joyful celebration of Christ’s birth or something Christians should reconsider. Despite not even reaching Halloween yet, the conversation touches on how many people feel about the increasing secularization of Christian holidays and how believers should respond.

Speaking of controversy, the episode takes a sharp turn into current events with a discussion on the recent Coca-Cola controversy. Listeners will hear about how Coca-Cola allowed certain custom messages on their cans—like “Satan” or political slogans such as “Harris 2024”—while reportedly blocking messages like “Jesus” or “Trump 2024.” This naturally raises questions about corporate influence, political biases, and how major brands seem to be increasingly involved in social and political matters. Should corporations like Coca-Cola stay out of politics and religious issues, or is this just a reflection of the cultural battle lines being drawn today? Nate and the panel weigh in on whether Christians should continue supporting companies that appear to prioritize certain viewpoints over others, and what, if anything, can be done about it.

This episode covers a wide range of topics, from ancient prophecies to modern controversies, all through the lens of Christian faith.
