Why Seeing Miracles Might Actually Ruin Your Soul

Why do we get bored with God? In this episode, Atlas pulls back the curtain on a terrifying spiritual paradox: the closer we get to the miraculous, the easier it is to fall asleep.

Why does Christ claim His arrival brings division rather than easy harmony? Join Atlas on the podcast as we unpack the deep blueprint of Matthew 10. We dive into the ancient Near Eastern matrix, the patristic consensus of St. John Chrysostom and St. Augustine, and what it truly means to live out the eighth Beatitude in the daily trenches of modern life. It’s time to trade a superficial faith for the enduring, beautifully disruptive peace of the Kingdom.
