Can You Save Yourself? (Preaching Jesus vs. Buddhist Peace Walk)

In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate and the crew dive into the viral "Christian resistance" to a Buddhist monk walk for peace in South Carolina. Is it "unloving" to tell someone they are headed for hell, or is it the ultimate act of compassion?. We break down the street preaching clip everyone is talking about and discuss why "amorphous peace" without Jesus is just a scenic route to a lake of fire. Later, we tackle a deep-dive listener question on sanctification: how do you know if you're actually "doing enough" to show you're saved?. Plus, Chris interrupts our theological contemplation to worship his new Tesla in "Mad Max" self-driving mode—proving that even if you can't drive yourself to heaven, you can at least weave through traffic at 15 over the limit. We wrap up with a look at the "Devil's Daughter" on TikTok and why 1 John 1:8 is the ultimate cure for the cult of sinless perfection.
