From Dawn to Doctrine
After extensive study of Christianity and as a follower of Jesus Christ, I am launching a podcast aimed at new believers, with the goal of educating both new and seasoned Christians. I will clearly explain the “whys” behind core Christian beliefs, addressing a gap in modern churches, particularly in the West. Many churches focus on the positivity of following Jesus, diluting doctrine to attract attendees rather than nurturing deep faith. This creates lukewarm Christians who often leave more confused than before. Church should be a place to learn about creation, sin, Jesus’ redemption, and God’s ultimate victory, not a cult of positivity. On this podcast we aim to fill the gap!

Episode 9: The Dangers of Rapture Theology
The word “rapture” isn’t in the Bible, yet this theory—born from 19th-century interpretations and spread by the Scofield Reference Bible, possibly with Rockefeller backing—has gripped many Western churches. We’ll explore its origins, the verses used to justify it, and why Orthodox Christianity rejects it, warning that overemphasizing the rapture risks leading Christians to fall away if tribulation begins without it. Using full Bible verses and analogies like a modern myth or a house built on sand, we’ll unpack this teaching and inspire you to place your faith in Jesus Christ alone. This episode runs longer to cover the depth of history and theology, so settle in—the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Let’s dive in!
