Welcome Back! Most people think they know who Jesus was: divine Son of God or a rabbi whose story grew into legend. But what if the figure of Jesus was something else entirely — a cultural creation that reshaped history?

My guest is Dr. David Skrbina, philosopher, author, and one of the boldest voices I’ve read. We dig into his book The Jesus Hoax and explore why the Jesus story may not be history at all, but something deliberately crafted.

This episode tackles:

• Myth vs. history — was Jesus a person, or a narrative?

• Paul’s radical teachings on family, suffering, and faith.

• How reason and philosophy were sidelined by unquestioning belief.

• What it means for morality and culture if Jesus wasn’t who we think.
