Are Christians Under the Law of Moses? (Plus Our Increasingly Unhinged World)

Nate's back from a nasty flu — and diving straight into one of the most common apologetics questions in his inbox: are Christians actually required to keep the Law of Moses? On this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate walks through Old and New Testament references (Exodus 19, Leviticus 27, Malachi 4, Romans 3, Galatians, and the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15) that show why the Mosaic Covenant was given specifically to Israel — and why Gentile believers were never bound by it in the first place. Then things get weird, because the world got weird this week. Nate and Michael break down some genuinely unhinged headlines — a Wyoming mother who kidnapped and shot her own 11-month-old son to keep him from his father, a New Hampshire man who stole a fire truck from firefighters saving his own burning house, and a Wisconsin dad who tripped a 9-year-old at a youth football game — and ask the obvious question: are we doomed? Also on deck: California's last-minute Linux exemption from its new age-verification law (a small win for open-source freedom), and the Skillet/Bad Wolves tour controversy after fans discovered the new Bad Wolves singer's OnlyFans page — a real-life "what fellowship does light have with darkness" moment. Plus a detour into Canadian culture that somehow ends in a debate over Alanis Morissette vs. the Tragically Hip. 📚 Resources & Links Wyoming mom kidnapping/shooting story: https://thepostmillennial.com/wyoming-mom-says-it-was-worth-it-to-kidnap-shoot-11-month-old-son-in-the-face-so-dad-cant-get-custody NH man steals rescue truck from firefighters: https://dissenter.com/crime/nh-man-steals-rescue-truck-from-firefighters-saving-his-home Wisconsin parent trips 9-year-old at football game: https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-sports/wisconsin-parent-storms-field-during-youth-football-game-trips-9-year-old-kid-wild-scene California's Linux exemption from age-verification law: https://www.tomshardware.com/software/linux/california-lawmakers-unanimously-pass-linux-exemption-from-age-verification-law-software-distributed-under-the-gpl-mit-bsd-and-apache-licenses-are-exempt Skillet drops Bad Wolves after OnlyFans discovery: https://protestia.com/2026/08/27/skillet-drops-opening-act-from-tour-after-singers-onlyfans-page-discovered/ For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com 00:00 - Intro 01:30 - Are Christians Under the Law of Moses? 08:38 - Trump, Carney & Canadian Politics Banter 12:25 - Wyoming Mom Kidnaps and Shoots Her Own Baby 18:23 - NH Man Steals Fire Truck From Firefighters Saving His Home 22:40 - Wisconsin Dad Trips 9-Year-Old at Youth Football Game 28:42 - Apple vs. Android vs. Linux: Family Tech Drama 32:31 - California's Linux Exemption From Age-Verification Law 42:23 - Skillet Drops Bad Wolves Over OnlyFans Controversy 49:01 - Canadian Pop Culture: Alanis Morissette vs. the Tragically Hip #AskAChristianPodcast #Christianity #Bible #Apologetics #LawOfMoses #MosaicLaw #ChristianApologetics #Gospel #JerusalemCouncil #Galatians #ChristianLife #Faith #CurrentEvents #ChristianMusic #BibleStudy
