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.
Is It Because of Jesus?
Chapter 14: The Day Before

Description:
The day before Peter's surgery, his hospital room is filled with an unlikely mix: believers, atheists, skeptics, and family. It is a testament to a life lived with radical inclusivity.
In this pivotal episode, we witness the "Existential Surrender" of a man facing death who has found peace not by fighting, but by letting go. We also uncover a secret act of love—Thomas, despite his deconstruction, has been working behind the scenes to help his friend. This proves that character is often more stable than belief.
Finally, Thomas reaches the bottom of his doubts and asks the most famous question in history: "What is truth?" We compare this to Pilate's cynical question and Jesus's radical answer: that Truth is not a concept, but a Person.
In this episode:
- The Unlikely Community: Why the strongest friendships aren't built on agreement.
- Existential Surrender: Finding peace by relinquishing control.
- Love as Action: Thomas’s quiet sacrifice for Peter.
- Epistemological Humility: Admitting that, ultimately, "no one knows."
- "I Am the Way": Jesus redefining the search for truth.
