About this listen

Christmas is around the corner… and today we’re diving into a question most people wouldn’t dare ask out loud: Did Jesus really exist?

In this explosive episode of Truth Be Told, Tony sits down with historian and author Dr. Richard Carrier — one of the world’s leading experts on the origins of Christianity — to explore the evidence, the myths, and the centuries-old assumptions that shaped Western belief.

From Paul’s mysterious letters, to the surprising celestial worldview of the ancient world, to how Christianity may have evolved without a historical Jesus at all… nothing is off-limits.
Dr. Carrier breaks down the scholarship, the controversies, the misconceptions, and what modern people should take away from the earliest Christian writings.

We also dig into:
✨ Why so many cultures invent gods
✨ How ancient people imagined the “heavens”
✨ Why Christianity today looks nothing like the teachings of Jesus
✨ What evidence would convince him a historical Jesus existed
✨ And how secular humanism reframes morality and meaning

Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this episode will challenge your assumptions and push you to rethink what you thought you knew about history, faith, and truth. 📌

Watch, comment, debate, and keep it respectful.
Truth isn’t always comfortable — but it’s always worth exploring.
