About this Episode

Jeff Mitchell was raised in a Christian home but did not fully commit to Christianity until he decided to devote his life to Christ at the age of 16. For the next three decades, he studied the Bible intensively, believing it to be the Holy Inspired Word of God and a direct message from the one true deity. However, over time, Mitchell began to encounter what he perceived as numerous errors, contradictions, and troubling teachings within the Bible. He also observed widespread conflict, chaos, and confusion among Christians, which led him to question his beliefs.

Driven by a desire to uncover the truth, Mitchell embarked on a journey of inquiry and reflection. Through this process, he came to several conclusions: if a God exists, Mitchell believes there is no logical explanation to support that this deity is good or compassionate. In his view, if there is a God, this being uses divine power to remain hidden and silent. Furthermore, Mitchell posits that such a God neither wants nor needs praise, and is unworthy of it.

Mitchell now holds the perspective that humanity is on its own. He believes that if people desire a better life, it is up to humans themselves to turn their dreams into reality, rather than relying on divine intervention.
