Ask A Christian

This week's Ask A Christian Podcast got a little unhinged — we were live on TikTok (last one for a while, promise), and once the guest queue filled up, it turned into a full theological gauntlet.

A Vacation Bible School skit just became the internet's problem — and it caused a real schism on Ask A Christian Podcast.
