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.
