In this interview, Spencer Dalke sits down with Pedro Garcia to explore his journey from atheism to faith and what it means to navigate doubt honestly. Pedro Garcia shares how his conversion was shaped not only by intellectual questions, but by encounteringChristians who listened well and lived out their faith with authenticity—ultimately leading him to the teachings of Jesus and the Sermon on the Mount. The conversation digs into the roots of deconstruction, suggesting that many people leave the church not because of Jesus himself but because of hurt, misunderstanding, or what Garcia calls “intellectual shielding” that protects deeper emotional wounds. Rather than reducing faith to arguments, Garcia emphasizes the importance of compassion, humility, and truly listening to people’s stories, meeting them as individuals rather than debates to be won. Ultimately, the episode encourages both doubters and believers to “doubt toward Jesus,” approaching questions with honesty while rediscovering Christ as the center of truth, healing, and genuine relationship.
- Humility in conversations with individuals deconstructing their faith.
