From Dumpster Diving to Defending the Faith with Eric Hernandez.

Is God still faithful when the "dream job" disappears and the bank account hits zero?

In this powerful conversation, apologist and author Eric Hernandez (featured in the film Universe Designed) opens up about the "Red Sea" moments in his own life. From dumpster diving to support his family to having his entire ministry department dissolved overnight, Eric shares how he navigated crushing uncertainty without losing his grip on the truth of the Gospel.

If you are struggling with a "closed door," feeling like your prayers are hitting a ceiling, or wondering if your faith is just a set of emotions, this episode is for you. Eric bridges the gap between high-level philosophy and raw, "middle-of-the-night" heartbreak.

In this episode, we discuss:

The "Universe Designed" Movie: The behind-the-scenes story of how a professional horror filmmaker turned to Christ.

Molinism & Providence: How God factors our "mess-ups" into His perfect plan.

Breaking the "Prosperity" Lie: Why Christianity isn't a transaction for happiness, but a response to truth.

Parenting Through Crisis: How to model an authentic, non-sugarcoated faith to your children when things get hard.

The 40-Day Miracle: How Eric raised 100% of his ministry support in just over a month after losing his job.
