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.

Chapter 2: Nothing is Forever

Description:
Thomas finally confesses his doubt to his fiancée, Sofía, and the result is catastrophic: she leaves him. But why?
In this episode, we unpack the psychology behind Sofía’s reaction, introducing the concept of "Traumatic Transference." We explore how one person's doubt can trigger another person's deepest abandonment wounds. But we don't stop there. We ask the hard question: Is your doubt actually intellectual, or is it emotional pain wearing a disguise?
Join host Pedro R. García as we dig into the "Intellectual Façade," the raw protest of the Problem of Evil, and the vulnerable admission that even the strongest faith can be rooted in a fear of death.
In this episode:
- Traumatic Transference: Why we punish others for our past wounds.
- The Intellectual Shield: Using logic to hide grief and trauma.
- The Fear of Death: Peter’s honest confession about why he believes.
- The Weeping God: Why Jesus suffering with us changes everything.
