Is It Because of Jesus?

About Is It Because of Jesus?

Are you a Christian experiencing doubt, deconstruction, or losing your faith? If so, this podcast is for you. My name is Pedro R. García. I am a former atheist, now a follower of Jesus. Have you ever wondered what really goes on in the mind of someone questioning everything? We start this journey by walking through my novel, "For Those Who Doubt: Is It Because of Jesus," analyzing the 'why' behind every character's decision. But that’s just the foundation. From Episode 16 onward, we’re getting personal. We’re talking about the weight of doubt—how it affects your Sunday dinners, your oldest friendships, and your view of the world. We aren’t afraid to lean into the difficult questions of philosophy and theology. My mission is to help you (and those you love) navigate these waters, while clarifying one vital point: more often than not, the pain of the 'exit' has very little to do with Jesus himself.

It feels like an open-and-shut case: if an all-powerful God engineered this, He must be either incompetent or indifferent. But beneath the biological critique lies something much deeper—a cry of profound existential grief. We aren't just critiquing t...

   People created God!

   Did humanity invent God to cope with the dark, or did the Creator leave His fingerprint on our souls? If you have ever laid awake at night wondering if faith is just an elaborate psychological coping mechanism—a comforting blanket woven to shield ourselves from an indifferent universe—you are not alone. The claim that "people created God" carries massive emotional and intellectual weight. It feels like stepping into the cold light of adult reality and leaving childish fairy tales behind. But ...

   I don't think faith is a realiable way to know what's true

   The Science Shield: Is Faith Just a Blind Leap? Podcast: Is It Because of Jesus? with Pedro Garcia "I don't think faith is a reliable way to know what's true."
