In this episode of Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate dives into the heated debate splitting the pro-life movement: traditional pro-lifers versus Christian abolitionists. When Students for Life president Kristen Hawkins went on a tirade against Christians switching to the abolitionist position, it raised a crucial question—should Christians fight political battles or just preach the gospel? We explore whether it's enough to simply "share Jesus" or if Christians have a duty to speak truth on cultural issues like abortion, even when it's uncomfortable. Plus: a follow-up on archaeological evidence for ancient Israel (spoiler: it exists), debate over whether the children's book Esperanza Rising is wholesome or woke, Chris attempts another apology to Steph (results: mixed), and we tackle the bizarre claim that Job 30:30 proves Job was Black. Can you fight for the unborn without losing focus on the Great Commission? Should Christians engage culture or avoid politics entirely? And why do some people think ancient Hebrew proves their conspiracy theories? All this and more—because apparently, we can't just have nice conversations about pretty mosaics without starting a culture war. 📚 Resources & Links: Merneptah Stele (Archaeological evidence for ancient Israel): https://grokipedia.com/page/Merneptah_Stele Stone Choir Podcast Controversy: https://protestia.com/2025/11/13/stone-choir-announces-the-end-of-their-podcast-no-more-new-epsiodes/ For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com Timestamps 00:00 - Intro 00:43 - Follow-up: Merneptah Stele proves ancient Israel existed 10:53 - Kristen Hawkins and Students for Life controversy 15:55 - Pro-life vs abolitionist debate begins 22:33 - Should murder be legalized?
