Can Satan Plant Thoughts? Christian Wins $410K Trans Lawsuit & Bats (Rabies?) Invade Steph’s House

Can Satan actually plant thoughts in your head—or is that just our own sinful nature talking? On this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the panel dig into the classic question with Scripture, heated pushback, and zero sacred cows. From John 13 (Judas), Acts 5 (Ananias), the armor of God, and Philippians 4:8, the crew debates whether the devil can inject ideas, how far his influence goes for believers vs. unbelievers, and why “just take every thought captive” is both simpler and harder than it sounds. Roy, Steph, and Nate go back and forth—sometimes agreeing, sometimes wildly not. Along the way they also cover: The viral “Sharkzilla” theory of radioactive mutant sharks off New York (spoiler: it was a very pregnant mako) What Jesus would actually ask after the Idaho In-N-Out shooting (hint: Luke 13 and the tower of Siloam) A Christian physician assistant who refused transgender policies, got fired, and just won a $410,000 settlement Plus the chaotic reality that Steph’s house is currently being invaded by bats (and the inevitable rabies jokes that followed) Expect serious Bible talk mixed with the usual Monday chaos, bats, and the occasional laser-beam shark joke. If you’ve ever wondered whether that random dark thought was yours or the enemy’s, this one’s for you.
