Perez Hilton's Self-Harm Livestream Shocks TikTok: Demonic Attack or Crisis?

In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate and the crew (Steph, Michael, Roy, April) dive into the story everyone's talking about: celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton livestreaming an apparent self-harm episode on TikTok, resulting in police intervention and hospitalization. Was this a demonic attack, a mental health crisis, or a medication side effect? The crew works through it — and yes, things get theological fast, sparking a deep dive into Leviticus, Old Testament law, and whether Christians are still bound by it (with Michael pushing back hard from the atheist seat). From there, the show shifts into Planned Parenthood's controversial claim that "abortion is gender-affirming care," breaking down what the organization actually meant vs. what the tweet said — plus a wild tangent into whether a trans man can actually get pregnant. Steph opens up about being cut off from her parents at 17 and how a Christian therapist helped her process it years later, leading into a real conversation about Christian vs. secular therapy — does it actually help, or does it just tell you what you want to hear? Then it's on to the In-N-Out shooting in Idaho, where an armed bystander engaged the shooter and likely saved lives — the crew talks self-defense, firearms, and faith, and whether "no atheists in foxholes" holds up. And because it wouldn't be an episode without some chaos: a California company's demonic chainsaw-wielding rescue robot breaks the internet, and the memes do not disappoint. Serious topics, real talk, and (as always) a little bit of nonsense mixed in. That's the Ask A Christian Podcast. 📚 Resources & Links Perez Hilton story (CNN): https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/05/entertainment/perez-hilton-livestream-self-harm-hnk Planned Parenthood "gender-affirming care" story (Not The Bee): https://notthebee.com/article/planned-parenthood-abortion-is-gender-affirming-care In-N-Out shooting hero story (Not The Bee): https://notthebee.com/article/gunslinger-who-engaged-shooter-at-in-n-out-thanks-fellow-patriots-for-their-support-asks-for-prayer Demonic chainsaw robot memes (Not The Bee): https://notthebee.com/article/i-have-no-idea-if-the-guy-behind-this-demonic-chainsaw-wielding-robot-made-it-as-a-joke-but-the-memes-have-me-dying For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com 00:00 - Intro 0:57 - Perez Hilton's Bloody TikTok Livestream: What Happened 9:57 - Can Christians Ignore Old Testament Law?
