In today’s world, truth isn’t just debated it’s being rewritten. In this episode of The Fire Within, we explore the growing issue of revisionist history, media bias, social polarization, and the erasure of foundational values.

We break down:
- The dangers of AI-driven echo chambers and how platforms like Google and ChatGPT shape the information we see.
- Historical revisionism and the consequences of erasing the past, from tearing down statues to rewriting textbooks.
- How civilizations collapse when truth is manipulated, looking at examples from Communist China, Nazi Germany, and the Soviet Union.
- The Bible’s unmatched historical accuracy, backed by archaeological evidence like the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Pool of Bethesda, and the Pilate Stone.
- Why America isn’t immune to destruction, and how deep political division threatens our society.

This episode isn’t just about history, it’s about the fight for truth in a world that’s constantly redefining it. If you’re concerned about freedom of speech, censorship, faith, and the future of Western values, this conversation is for you.

We’re diving into The Case for God once again, and this time, we’re tackling one of the most debated texts in human history—the Bible. Is it historical fiction, or is it a divine manuscript that has shaped civilizations? I’ve wrestled with this question myself, and in this episode, I take a deep, unapologetic look at what the Bible truly is.

But before we even get there, we need to talk about something that’s been gnawing at me—how history is being rewritten right before our eyes. From subtle changes like BCE replacing BC to full-blown revisionist history, I’m calling it out. Because once you start erasing truth, where does it stop?

We talk about faith, fact, and how our worldview is shaped by what we choose to believe. We dissect the power of the Holy Ghost, personal revelation, and the deep need to anchor ourselves in something real amid a world drowning in misinformation.

This episode is raw, unfiltered, and one of the most important conversations we’ve had yet. Whether you believe in the Bible or question it, you need to hear this. Because truth matters. And it's up to us to fight for it.

I’ve always been captivated by the way symbols ancient, sacred, and universal seem to whisper the same truths across time, across cultures, across beliefs. Could it be coincidence? Or is there something deeper at play?

In this episode, I take a deep dive into the profound connections between world religions, ancient traditions, and the symbols we often take for granted. From the cross to the Tree of Life, from the serpent to the Trinity, I explore how these motifs show up not just in Christianity but in Norse mythology, Hinduism, and even the sacred rites of the past. What does it mean that civilizations separated by centuries and continents spoke the same spiritual language? What do these echoes of the divine tell us about God, about truth, about us?

This isn’t just a history lesson it’s a challenge. A challenge to see the fingerprints of God in places we might not expect, to question whether these patterns are more than just human invention. Because if they are, then the story of faith is bigger, older, and more connected than we ever imagined.
