What I Do
I make the New Testament make sense.
Did Jesus really claim to be God? Can we trust the Gospels as history? What was a synagogue actually like 2,000 years ago? I dig into questions like these — using the Greek text, real history, and honest scholarship — then I break it all down so anyone can follow along. No seminary required.

Evidence for Jesus
What do non-Christian sources say about Jesus? I walk through all the historical evidence — no Bible needed — so you can see it for yourself.
→Gospels as History
Can we trust the Gospels? I take the biggest critiques and show you why the evidence holds up — from ancient manuscripts to eyewitness details.
→Responding to Skeptics
From Alex O’Connor to common objections — I tackle the hard questions about God, faith, and the Bible head-on. No dodging. No fluff.

→About Me
Hey, I’m Caleb Brake.
I’ve always loved asking big questions. I went to Hendrix College and studied Psychology. Then I learned Mandarin and got a master’s degree at Heilongjiang University in China. After that, I moved to Dallas and earned my Master of Theology at Dallas Theological Seminary.
Now I’m working on my PhD in New Testament — going even deeper into the text. I also host The Wise Fool Podcast and run a YouTube channel with over 100 videos covering everything from the historical evidence for Jesus to what synagogues were really like in the first century.
The world says studying the New Testament is foolish. I think it’s the wisest thing you can do. That’s why I make content — to give you the tools to think for yourself, ask better questions, and understand this ancient text like never before.
