Truth Talk
Truth Talk is a bold, dialogue-driven podcast where filters die and truth speaks. Hosted by Caleb Cross and Eliana Rivers, each episode strips away religious fluff, hyper-grace distortions, self-help illusions, and New Age counterfeits to uncover the raw, Edenic truth of Scripture.
Through honest back-and-forth conversation, they expose the hidden layers of sin, the scandal of the Cross, and the shocking hope of resurrection life. From the garden of Eden to the torn veil of the temple, every episode connects ancient wisdom to your daily walk with clarity, conviction, and courage.
This isn’t safe religion. It’s not motivational hype. It’s unfiltered gospel: Adam’s curse overturned, Christ’s blood shed, Eden’s gate reopened.
If you’re hungry for answers no one else dares to ask, Truth Talk will take you there.

Caleb Cross — the prophetic voice of Truth Talk. Bold, uncompromising, and always pointing back to Eden’s blueprint and Christ’s cross, Caleb embodies the fiery watchman who calls out distortions, exposes hidden deceptions, and declares raw truth without filters.
Eliana Rivers — the seeker’s voice. Honest, curious, and sometimes hesitant, she asks the questions many listeners carry: “But doesn’t this sound harsh?” or “Isn’t grace supposed to be effortless?” Her role is to bring the human wrestle to the table so the answers land where real people live.
Together — Caleb and Eliana are narrative voices created for Truth Talk. They aren’t individual preachers but conversation partners who embody two sides we all need: conviction and curiosity. Their dynamic makes weighty biblical truth engaging, relatable, and unforgettable.

A Note on the Voices
Caleb Cross and Eliana Rivers are not literal people but narrative voices created for Truth Talk. They embody the journey every believer faces: conviction and curiosity. Caleb carries the prophetic, truth-declaring weight; Eliana gives space to the honest questions we all wrestle with. Together, they make room for Scripture to speak with both fire and tenderness.
This podcast does not target people but weighs doctrines. We believe most preachers genuinely desire to point people to God. Our purpose is simply to measure every message against Scripture and, where needed, bring correction — so that Eden’s air can breathe through again.

Holy Demolition: How a Torn Curtain Changed Everything
When Jesus breathed His last, the temple curtain — 60 feet high and impossibly thick — tore from top to bottom. Why does that moment matter? In this episode of Truth Talk, Caleb and Eliana uncover the shocking meaning behind the torn veil, and why it changes everything about how we approach God today.
You’ll discover:
- What the temple curtain really represented — and why it kept people out
- The hidden link between the veil and Eden’s flaming sword
- The forbidden insight: how Christ’s blood didn’t just forgive, it removed the barrier
- The next step: how to live as if God’s presence is already with you
The veil is gone. The way back to Eden is open.

So, caleb, in the last episode you said the moment Jesus' blood was shed, the curtain in the temple tore. What's, uh, what's the big deal about that curtain?
Speaker 2:Eliana, that curtain wasn't just decoration, it was a barrier, a massive veil, 60 feet tall. It separated people from God's presence. Veil, 60 feet tall, it separated people from God's presence. Behind it was the Holy of Holies, where only the high priest could enter, and only once a year that curtain screened. Stay out, you're not clean enough.
Speaker 1:So you're saying it was like a giant? Do not enter sign between us and God.
Speaker 2:It was Eden all over again, the flaming sword, the blocked away to the tree of life. Humanity cut off. But when Jesus died, his blood didn't just forgive sins, it tore the barrier itself. The veil ripped from top to bottom. That was God saying the way is open again.
Speaker 1:Wait, so that means people could actually enter God's presence freely. Like no more curtain.
Speaker 2:Yes, no more curtain, no more separation. The cross didn't just clean your record, it reopened Eden's gate. God's presence isn't locked away anymore. Through Christ, you are now the temple. His spirit lives in you.
Speaker 1:So wow, the torn veil means we don't need a priest or rituals or sacrifices anymore, Just access.
Speaker 2:Yes, here's your next step, eliana. Stop living like God is far away. Stop acting like there's still a curtain. You don't pray to reach him. You pray because he's already with you. You don't worship to earn his presence. You worship because his presence is already here.
Speaker 1:So the curtain tearing, it wasn't just history, it's my daily reality.
Speaker 2:Exactly, that's the raw truth no filters, just freedom. And in episode five we'll press into the scandal of substitution, how Jesus didn't just die for you, he died as you. This is Truth Talk, where filters die and truth speaks.
