Ex-Ministers React to the Theology Running American Foreign Policy | ATNQ EP 12

Allie Beth Stuckey Called Him "DEMONIC" | ATNQ Ep14

Why are so many prominent evangelical influencers losing their minds over James Talarico? In this episode, we break down the evangelical panic surrounding the Texas Democrat who just won his Senate primary — and we react to some of the worst takes from Allie Beth Stuckey, Mark Driscoll, andothers. We dig into Talarico's actual policy positions, fact-check clips that were deliberately cut out of context, and have a real conversation about intellectual humility, liberation theology, what the Bible actually says about immigration, and why "biblical view" doesn't mean what they think it means.TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw] - Cold Open: Matthew 25 & The Judgment of Nations 0:40 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=40s] - Welcome to Episode 14! 1:06 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=66s] - Who We Are: Not Your Average Christian Podcast 3:25 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=205s] - Why Atheists Still Listen to Gospel Music 5:14 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=314s] - James Talarico: Why Evangelicals Are Scared 7:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=420s] - Talarico's Background: Teacher, Seminary Student, Future Pastor 9:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=540s] - Did Race Play a Role in Beating Jasmine Crockett? 11:13 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=673s] - Talarico's Policy Positions Breakdown 13:20 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=800s] - Political Calculation vs. Authenticity 14:15 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=855s] - Hasan's Warning: Tucker vs. Newsom in 2028? 16:04 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=964s] - Anti-Zionism vs. Anti-Semitism (Important Distinction) 18:38 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=1118s] - Evangelical Reactions: Tweets & Hot Takes 21:15 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=1275s] - Mark Driscoll's Hypocrisy & The NDA Scandal 24:01 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=1441s] - Reacting to Allie Beth Stuckey: She Cut His Quote! 28:10 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=1690s] - "God Is Love" — But What Does That Actually Mean? 32:01 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=1921s] - Matthew 25: How God Judges Nations 34:55 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=2095s] - There's No Single "Biblical View" (And That's OK) 37:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=2220s] - "Nothing Beautiful About Islam"?! — Biggest L of the Episode 44:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=2640s] - Reading the Bible vs. Reading the Newspaper 47:19 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=2839s] - James Cone & Liberation Theology 49:55 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=2995s] - Why Talarico Actually Matters for the Left 53:10 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=3190s] - Final Thoughts + Help Us Hit 2K Subscribers!

Another Evangelical Pastor Scandal Just Dropped

Episode 13 covers a lot of ground. Greg Laurie is praying for Trump at the White House while a federal lawsuit alleges his church covered up child SA for over a decade. Mark Driscoll is preaching against socialism when everything he describes is capitalism. John Piper is being called woke for quoting the Bible. America double tapped a school in Iran and Trump says he doesn't know about it. And a reaction to Joshua Dos and Umar Johnson turns into a deep dive on the Black radical tradition, the ratchet effect, and why "Vote Blue No Matter Who" might be the most dangerous phrase in American politics.00:00 Intro & Studio Catch-Up03:05 Basketball Debate → Christian Apologetics08:37 Wes Huff, Apologetics & Evangelical Theology27:20 John Piper, Calvinism & Political Christianity40:07 Greg Laurie Lawsuit & Mark Driscoll Controversy50:26 Evangelicals, Capitalism & Christian Nationalism55:19 Umar Johnson, Voting Strategy & Black Political Thought

Ex-Ministers React to the Theology Running American Foreign Policy | ATNQ EP 12

Military commanders saying Trump was anointed by God to start Armageddon, the Iran war nobody can explain, Kristi Noem getting fired, and Shia LaBeouf being a coward in a nice sweater.Joshua and Colten break down the viral story about a military commander allegedly telling troops that Trump was chosen by God to hasten the return of Jesus, and why the story might not be as solid as it went viral. Then they get into what's actually going on with the Iran strikes, why none of the official explanations make any sense, and what people reaching for The Fourth Turning and random YouTube prophets says about how we cope with uncertainty.They also get into the theology that actually matters here. Pre-mil vs post-mil is not just nerdy Christian trivia when the people running the Pentagon might believe one of them.Plus Kristi Noem is out at DHS, Mark Wayne Mullin is in (yes, that guy), Shia LaBeouf went on Channel 5 and said some things he probably should not have said, and Joshua and Colten have thoughts about all of it.Ask the Next Question drops every week.

Gavin Newsom Won't Save You | ATNQ Ep 11

In Episode 11, we break down the book Don't Talk About Politics and what it gets right (and wrong) about how political change actually happens. We react to the Hasan Piker clip that had liberals calling leftists "secret MAGA" for refusing to pledge loyalty to Gavin Newsom, and we get into why the ratchet effect means the Democrats keep moving right while telling you this is the most important election of your lifetime. We also talk Obama casually confirming aliens are real and trying to walk it back, and then we get into it over Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show. This is the first time we've really disagreed on the pod, and we hash it out honestly. Was it a cultural victory? Absolutely. But does capitalism want you to celebrate and go back to sleep?

We're Grieving a World that Never Existed | ATNQ Ep. 10

This week Colten and Joshua dive into the emotional weight of the current political moment, what it means to grieve a world that was never as stable as we thought, and why "stay inside, this isn't our fight" might be the most dangerous narrative circulating right now.We pull clips from creators like Vic Mensa, Deante Kyle, and others to unpack what's actually happening on the ground in Minnesota, why ICE now has more funding than the U.S. Marines, and how movements like FBA are fracturing solidarity at the worst possible time.We get into the difference between grieving the future and grieving the past, why both Republicans and Democrats have blood on their hands, and what it actually looks like to organize when your nervous system is fried from doomscrolling.
