Tony Arce
When my health was at its worst in 2024, I kept it private because I didn’t have the strength or clarity to explain what was happening while I was living through it. What began then turned into a nearly year-long crisis that ended with my body failing and passing out of this life. What followed is something I can’t explain in earthly language, but the road back into the world after that moment has been a process.
The simplest away to explain it is this: the man people knew as Tony ended. Now this body has a new Breath, a new Spirit, and is a altogether new person. By God’s grace I am alive, but I do not carry that life with me the way others remember it, nor do I remember my past the way people who knew me expect. I cannot step back into old roles, old circles, or pick up where things once left off.
I am learning how to assimilate, so please understand that the person alive today is not the same one who lived before that season.

The Tale of Two Tonys
One Dead in Deception
Anxious, depressed, suicidal, victimized, angry, selfish, compulsive, explosive, self-righteous, insecure, and spiraling towards self-destruction. Hating his life, not for lack of success, money, family, resources, friendships, opportunities, or access to life’s indulgences; but because love was so foreign to him. He looked for it in all the wrong places, and every attempt to experience a shadow of it was cloaked in fear that wounded him and the people closest to him.
When success, ambition, relationships, adventure, recognition, pleasure, alcohol, drugs, and anything to numb the emptiness no longer satisfied, death became the only desirable experience to offer relief from the agony of a life without love. From childhood into adulthood I was brought up believing I was hated by the people I was told were supposed to love me. A child absorbs that and begins to believe something about them is fundamentally broken. When I was given another opportunity at life, the question that consumed me was simple: what is true?
One Transformed by Truth
What I realized, on the other side of seeking truth at any cost, is that something unexpected happens: love, peace, and joy become possible right now. What you see is a living witness of what happens when deception no longer has a gag over your mind. I was freed from a life of slavery to the thoughts, emotions, habits, addictions, compulsions, insecurities, and fears that consumed every waking moment of my life.
In a single moment of death and rebirth, I became a new person. Now, my guiding light is the objective truth that can be known, lived and experienced as manifestations of peace, love and joy. All the while knowing that the road to heaven looks like hell, and the road to hell looks like heaven. That pursuit is why I look for the people who are willing to seek truth too. Because even though the journey is worth going alone, two friends are better than one.
The Truth That Set Me Free
Jesus declared, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Truth is not fragile, and it does not collapse under honest examination. My work with The Science of Objective Truth explores how faith, evidence, and human reasoning converge when truth is pursued without compromise.
Join Our Bible Study
We’re a group of people who come together to read Scripture, ask questions, and grow in understanding. Some of us are just starting, others have been walking this out longer. We’re all here to seek truth and live it, with guidance from those who have spent years studying and applying it faithfully.
Before the Door Closes
This book is not self-help in Christianese, nor is it another attempt to make faith feel easier. It exposes how most of Christianity has traded surrender for comfort, emotions, fear, and therapy-style faith. Today, most who preach behind pulpits and microphones look like shepherds but lead people away from the hard truth Jesus actually taught.
This book is about surrender. If you are tired of shallow religion, greedy leaders, instagram theology, and sermons that comfort without confronting, these pages invite you to follow Jesus as He truly is. When Jesus called people to follow Him, He did not ask them to try harder. He told them to come and die, because His Kingdom is here and now.
God has told me, as the author, not to take a penny from the book, so I never will. Everything goes to His Church and to those spreading the gospel. The book is completely free online for that reason, too.
A Preview of What's to Come
Pastor Eric is a true shepherd who knows Scripture deeply and a brother I’m blessed to spend hours talking about our Lord, sharpening one another as iron sharpens iron. My work has always been behind the scenes: producing media, building systems, mentoring people, developing brands, and launching platforms. I’ve never desired to be in front of the camera or on a microphone. So when Eric asked me to produce his podcast, I didn’t expect to be on it as well.
The ability to launch everything you see has never been the question. We’ve had the tools, systems, and experience from the beginning, but we won’t speak for God until He says speak. What exists now is preparation in the form of a platform built and single episode produced, but when the Lord gives the word His Spirit will move fast within His Church. We’ve always been in a spiritual war, but those who belong to Christ will need to be equipped for a battle unlike the world has ever known.
Warfare is Spiritual.
Our Weapon is Jesus.
I just want to do God’s will. And He’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the Promised Land. By God’s grace and will, as His Church, we’ll be in the promised land together.
My brothers and sisters: we stand in victory under the authority given to us by the Lamb (Luke 10:19). Join His Church to preach the real gospel to pave the way for the coming of the Lord. It’s free to join, but it will cost you everything.
