What if believing in God isn't supposed to mean turning off your brain? How do we actually know there is a God? And how do we know who that God is?Pastor Angel Garcia III and Marlon Gutierrez explore the difference between general revelation and special revelation, looking at the ways creation, design, morality, and human longing point toward God. They then turn to the evidence surrounding Jesus, the apostles, His brothers James and Jude, and the early growth of Christianity.You’ll Hear: • How the cosmological, teleological, moral, and longing arguments point toward the existence of God.• Why general revelation can point to a Creator but doesn't fully answer who God is.• How the lives and suffering of the apostles, James, and Jude are presented as evidence for the truth of the resurrection.• Why a Christian faith grounded in truth can move beyond emotion and tradition toward a faith that stands.This conversation is for anyone following Jesus who has questions about whether Christianity is actually true and wants a faith built on more than emotion or personal experience.If this episode was helpful, you can find more resources to help you build a faith that stands at faiththatstandspod.com.

What if the gospel is more than simply “Jesus died for my sins and rose again”? What happens when you slow down and see how the gospel shapes the entire story of Scripture—and changes the way you live?

Pastor Angel Garcia III and Marlon Gutierrez unpack what the gospel actually means and why it is the foundation of Christianity. They explore how the gospel differs from other belief systems, how the story of Jesus is woven throughout Scripture, and how grace, mercy, and salvation transform the way we see God, ourselves, and others.

You’ll Hear:

• Why the gospel is fundamentally different from other approaches to salvation

• How Ephesians 2 explains our need for grace, mercy, and a Savior

• How Adam and Eve, Abraham, David, and Old Testament prophecy point toward Jesus

• How the gospel can replace shame and spiritual exhaustion with freedom, humility, and trust in God

This conversation is for anyone new to following Jesus who wants to understand the gospel beyond a simple definition and build a faith that can stand when life gets difficult.

You found faith. Now you’re trying to figure out what to do with it.

The feeling that got you here was real — but a few months in, it’s quieter. The questions are louder. You’re not sure what you actually believe versus what you felt in a moment. You’re trying to read the Bible and it’s a lot. You’re in a church and everyone seems like they’ve been doing this forever. And there’s no shortage of podcasts and teachers and opinions telling you where to start.

Hosted by Pastor Angel Garcia III and Marlon Gutierrez, Faith that Stands is for that season. Each episode takes one question from the early years of following Jesus and works through it honestly - the gospel, the theology, and what it actually looks like in your life.
