An Honest Conversation About Belief, Certainty, and What's at Stake

WHAT IF YOU WERE WRONG? is not an accusation. It's an invitation. Through honest, searching conversations with atheists, Christians, and people of other faiths, Saul Loubassa Bighonda explores belief, certainty, doubt, meaning, God, and the quiet risks we take in what we choose to believe.

Why Churches Need Money — and Why We Give

In this episode, I explore the topic of Christian giving, addressing why churches need financial support and its biblical foundation. I acknowledge that some leaders misuse funds but encourage you to give wisely rather than stop altogether. I emphasize that giving is not optional — it's a divine commandment, referencing Matthew 25's parable of the sheep and goats. I highlight that giving brings joy, fulfillment, and God's blessings in return, supported by Acts 20:35 and Luke 6:38. Even science backs the benefits of generosity. My challenge: give wisely, joyfully, and obediently.

You Shall Not Misuse The Name Of The Lord

In this episode, I clarify the true meaning of Exodus 20:7, "You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God." I argue that this verse is commonly misinterpreted as prohibiting casual expressions like "oh my God," when it actually warns against invoking God's name to justify evil or falsely claiming His authority. Using the Good News Translation, I connect this passage to Jesus' teachings on blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:31-32, Mark 3:29, Luke 12:10), explaining that both warn against misrepresenting God's work or attributing it to evil forces.

Understanding Why God Answers Prayer: It’s Not About Us, It’s For His Name’s Sake

In this episode , I explore the theological truth that God answers prayers not because of their inherent power or our own merit, but for the sake of His name . Drawing from Psalms, Isaiah, Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and John, I challenge the common church misconception that prayer itself compels God to act. Instead, I argue that God's responses are rooted in His character, faithfulness, and desire to uphold His glory. I encourage you to deepen your understanding of God's nature and His motivations for acting on our behalf.
