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 13: THE Conversation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Description:
"Christianity is too much, but the world offers too little. One is outrageous, and the other one is too empty."
In this heartbreaking episode, Thomas and Sofía finally confront the chasm between them. It begins with a profound apology—Sofía admits that her reaction was driven by trauma, not theology. But even in this safe space, Thomas finds himself trapped in the "Agnostic's Lament," stuck between the apathy of lost faith and the crushing emptiness of a godless universe.
We witness the collision of two realities: the Empirical vs. the Transcendent. And finally, we hear Sofía’s devastating declaration of love—a sacrifice that values Thomas's eternity more than their marriage.
