Allie Beth Stuckey Called Him "DEMONIC" | ATNQ Ep14
<p>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: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw">0:00</a> - Cold Open: Matthew 25 & The Judgment of Nations <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=40s">0:40</a> - Welcome to Episode 14! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=66s">1:06</a> - Who We Are: Not Your Average Christian Podcast <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=205s">3:25</a> - Why Atheists Still Listen to Gospel Music <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=314s">5:14</a> - James Talarico: Why Evangelicals Are Scared <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=420s">7:00</a> - Talarico's Background: Teacher, Seminary Student, Future Pastor <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=540s">9:00</a> - Did Race Play a Role in Beating Jasmine Crockett? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=673s">11:13</a> - Talarico's Policy Positions Breakdown <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=800s">13:20</a> - Political Calculation vs. Authenticity <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=855s">14:15</a> - Hasan's Warning: Tucker vs. Newsom in 2028? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=964s">16:04</a> - Anti-Zionism vs. Anti-Semitism (Important Distinction) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=1118s">18:38</a> - Evangelical Reactions: Tweets & Hot Takes <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=1275s">21:15</a> - Mark Driscoll's Hypocrisy & The NDA Scandal <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=1441s">24:01</a> - Reacting to Allie Beth Stuckey: She Cut His Quote! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=1690s">28:10</a> - "God Is Love" — But What Does That Actually Mean? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=1921s">32:01</a> - Matthew 25: How God Judges Nations <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=2095s">34:55</a> - There's No Single "Biblical View" (And That's OK) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=2220s">37:00</a> - "Nothing Beautiful About Islam"?! — Biggest L of the Episode <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=2640s">44:00</a> - Reading the Bible vs. Reading the Newspaper <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=2839s">47:19</a> - James Cone & Liberation Theology <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=2995s">49:55</a> - Why Talarico Actually Matters for the Left <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jimmabGMw&t=3190s">53:10</a> - Final Thoughts + Help Us Hit 2K Subscribers!</p>

Another Evangelical Pastor Scandal Just Dropped
<p>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</p>

Ex-Ministers React to the Theology Running American Foreign Policy | ATNQ EP 12
<p>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. Like, subscribe, and ring the bell so you don't miss it.
