The Jesus Way

The Way. The Truth. The Life

Welcome to The Jesus Way.

This is not your typical Christian podcast. We’re here to challenge the status quo, question mainstream interpretations, and resurrect the radical teachings of Jesus that have been buried by centuries of empire and theology.

Jesus didn’t come to start a new religion—He came to show us the perfect way to God: a path of mercy, love, and radical spiritual discipline. But have His teachings been distorted? Have we misunderstood what it truly means to follow Him?

Join us as we uncover the untamed, uncompromising message of Jesus—a message that calls us to live differently, think deeply, and walk boldly.

Aaron Abke

Aaron Abke grew up as a devoted evangelical pastor’s son, passionate about knowing God and living like Christ. After becoming a pastor at 22, he quickly realized the fear-driven teachings of fundamentalism conflicted with the message of love and mercy he saw in Jesus’ life. This led him to leave organized religion at 23 and embark on a journey to rediscover the true essence of Jesus' teachings.

Aaron believes Jesus came not as a sacrifice but to show humanity the perfect way to God through love, obedience, and living His commandments. His mission now is to restore the forgotten gospel of Jesus and inspire others to walk The Jesus Way—a life aligned with God’s will and rooted in compassion and truth.

James Benefico

James Benefico is a warrior for truth and heath. His life changed forever in 2014 when a synthetic preworkout caused a near death experience. Refusing to let others face the same risks, James launched Organic Muscle, introducing the world’s first USDA Organic Pre-Workout and redefining what fitness supplements should be.

As the co-host of The Jesus Way Podcast with his best friend Aaron Abke, James’s mission is to guide others toward strength—both physical and spiritual. After losing 85 pounds and overcoming various addictions, he has turned his struggles into a source of inspiration for others. The pain of losing loved ones to cancer and suicide shaped his commitment to helping people reclaim their mental and physical health and live with purpose in alignment with Yeshua's teachings.
