We live in a reality where it is impossible to live without having an opinion on the person of Jesus. Every religion has a view on Him! In this discussion, my aim is to compare and contrast what the world religions have to say about Jesus and see what similarities and differences arise.

There are many misconceptions surrounding Judaism, and many details about it that are not known to the general public. Today, I outline some of the problematic aspects of Rabbinic Judaism and demonstrate how the true religion of Israel is fulfilled in Orthodox Christianity, not Judaism.

Islam is the world’s fastest growing religion. Should Christians be concerned? Well, I also believe Islam is the world's goofiest religion. In this episode, I give the listener all the details necessary to refute it.

The apostles suffered extreme torments for Christ, but the Christian persecution was only beginning. In this episode, I read the lives of several early Christian martyrs as suggested by viewers. These stories are very gruesome, so the listener's discretion is advised.

Many Christians know what happened to Jesus, but not many know what happened to the twelve apostles. Many are unaware of their struggles after the book of Acts and of their gruesome martyrdoms. In this episode, I read the lives of these men from the Prologue of Orchid! These stories are very brutal, so the listener's discretion is advised.

People today find it incredulous to believe that Jesus really rose from the dead. However, many of the most common objections are rooted in historical misunderstandings. As such, they can be easily refuted, as I aim to do in this discussion.

Christianity stands or falls on one simple question: did Jesus really rise from the dead? How can modern, enlightened people come to believe that someone died and rose again? Is there any evidence for this? In this episode, I tackle what I believe to be one of the most important matters one can investigate: the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Some question whether or not the Bible we have today can really be trusted. Who’s to say it hasn’t been corrupted over time? Today, I’ll be discussing various historical facts that will put this worry to rest.

There are many answers to this question. Some believe it fell from the sky, others say a council made a declaration. In this discussion, I go through the history of the canonization process of the Bible, relying heavily on work from Fr. Stephen De Young. How exactly did we get the Bible? The answer may surprise you.
