In this episode of By What Authority, Raymond Ybarra confronts one of the most damaging distortions in modern discipleship: the belief that God is behind the very things Jesus came to destroy.

Jesus said, “Go make disciples” — not more accusers.

But when believers attribute death, tragedy, or destruction to God, they don’t reflect the Father Jesus revealed. They misrepresent Him.

This episode brings clarity to the character of God, exposes the confusion created by fear‑based theology, and draws a sharp line between the thief who steals, kills, and destroys — and the God who brings life.

If we’re going to make disciples, we must reveal the God Jesus perfectly displays.

This message will reshape how you see God, how you teach others, and how you walk out the Great Commission.

LISTENER TAKEAWAY

A true disciple reflects Jesus — and Jesus reveals a God who heals, restores, and brings life, never a God who harms.
