UPON THIS ROCK: An exposé honoring Peter's true legacy & the revelation of the Rock | Coming in January
In the fiery heart of Upon This Rock, Wes Hazlett unleashes a thunderous defense of Scripture's unyielding truth: Christ alone stands as the eternal, unshakeable Foundation of the Church—not Peter, nor any popish human successor. This exposé burns with profound reverence for Peter himself—a beloved apostle of raw courage, shattering failures, and triumphant restoration, who, by sacred tradition, met his end crucified upside down, deeming himself unworthy to die as his Lord. Peter's life and death demand our deepest honor: a testament to grace that screams of unwavering faith, pointing not to his own glory, but eternally to the Christ he adored with every breath. Let us exalt Peter by stripping away man-made myths, allowing his witness to blaze brighter, forever directing souls to Jesus—the Rock who redeems, and the Savior, the beloved Peter died serving. Read more about this at bottom of the page.

Apostle to the Gentiles Weekly Series Unleashed! A new weekly feature from The Apostle to the Gentiles is now underway—an expositional defense of Paul’s apostleship rooted in Scripture and the Patristic witness. Each installment will walk through the ten-point framework that affirms Paul’s divine appointment, vindicated by John’s silence, Peter’s endorsement, and the unbroken chain of early church testimony. Books of John is week one! See week one here...

Had a wonderful exchange today with a brother in Christ I once worked with on the BNSF railroad—a former fellow conductor—and it meant a great deal to me. Thank you, brother, for your kind words about this ministry. Our brotherhood is a blessing. The Lord leads His people on remarkable journeys; and though there are seasons when we cannot see the water, in His timing He brings us suddenly to an ocean.

About The Bodyguard
Defending the Word of God with the word of God
Bodyguard Christian Apologetics is a front-line ministry founded in 1998 to defend the faith once delivered and expose doctrinal deception with precision, clarity, and compassion.
Rooted in Jude 3 and forged through spiritual warfare, BCA equips believers with visual theology, exposé-driven resources, and strategic apologetic arsenals that confront error and exalt Christ.
Every tract, podcast, and manuscript is anchored in Scripture, sharpened by historical insight—calling the Body to stand watch, contend earnestly, and proclaim truth with love.
OUR MISSION
Our mission rests on three pillars
Exalt | Equip | EXPOSE
-
Exalt the lord Jesus Christ
In all ministerial endeavors, we glorify God alone, ensuring that every resource, exposé, and testimony magnifies His Name. Our work is not for recognition or applause, but to display the supremacy of Christ in all things.
2. EQUIP THE SAINTS
In the admonishment and charge of Holy Scripture, to full proof of our ministry through sound doctrinal truths, presenting the Word with precision and fortified by Scripture and historical witness. Each tract and manuscript is a testimony of faithfulness, strengthening believers to stand firm on the unshakable foundation of God’s truth.
3. Expose the snares
In the same spirit as warning a traveler of a bridge out ahead for their safety, we confront false teachings and the institutions that propagate them with bold conviction in the truth of Holy Scripture. Yet toward those ensnared by principalities and powers, our posture remains pastoral—marked by compassion, patience, and the gentle invitation of Christ’s love.
ALL THE GLORY TO CHRIST THE LORD
SUMMARY OF Our Statement of Faith
At Bodyguard Christian Apologetics, we stand upon the unshakable foundation of God’s revealed truth. Our Statement of Faith affirms seven pillars of biblical doctrine—each forged to defend the Gospel, exalt Christ, and equip the Church for faithful endurance. These affirmations are not mere traditions or denominational preferences, but scripturally grounded convictions that shape our ministry, our message, and our mission.
We proclaim the verbal plenary inspiration and preservation of Holy Scripture—the 66 books of the Bible as pure, final, and sufficient. We worship one true God—YAHWEH—eternal and indivisible, revealed in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. We exalt Jesus Christ as fully God and fully man, the only Savior, crucified, risen, and glorified.
We defend the one true Gospel of grace, that salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone, not of works, but by God’s sovereign gift. We affirm one holy Church, composed of all whom Christ has redeemed—Jew and Gentile, male and female, all one in Him. The Church is the Bride of Christ, called to endure tribulation and await His return.
We uphold one apostleship, given to Christ’s chosen witnesses and sealed by the completed Canon. Their gifts confirmed the Gospel and ceased with the last Apostle; miracles remain at God’s discretion, not by human claim. And we anticipate one glorious return—the visible, bodily coming of Jesus Christ after great tribulation, to gather His Bride, unleash God’s wrath, and establish His millennial reign.
These doctrines form the backbone of our apologetic witness. They are not negotiable. They are not hidden. They are the armor we wear, the sword we wield, and the hope we proclaim.

A TRUE BLESSING OF ENCOURAGEMENT
I extend heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Jill Martin Rische for her encouragement in the ministry of Christian apologetics. Her words to me in the early years of Bodyguard Christian Apologetics strengthened my resolve through the hardships of contending not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual deception.
Jill Martin Rische is the daughter of the late Dr. Walter Martin, founder of the Christian Research Institute in 1960 and later Walter Martin Ministries. Her legacy of faith and discernment continues to inspire and equip those who defend the Word of God with the Word of God.

BCA ON X
MORE X FEEDS TO BE ADDED
The BCA AI Revelations Series is a multi-part exposé where leading AI platforms analyze biblical and non-biblical texts to test doctrinal compatibility. The verdict is unanimous: the Bible’s internal claims stand alone. Each segment exposes deception, affirms Scripture, and ends with a loving invitation to seek truth in Christ.
CHILLING
Chilling is a doctrinal exposé revealing how advanced AI platforms responded to a compatibility test between the Bible and the Book of Mormon. The results expose irreconcilable contradictions and theological error. This work affirms the Bible’s unmatched consistency and calls believers to anchor their faith in the true Word of God.
BCA: AI REVELATIONS: SEGMENT 1
STUNNING
Stunning reveals how six advanced AI platforms responded to a doctrinal compatibility test between the Bible, the Qur’an, and the Hadith. The verdict is clear: only the Bible stands internally consistent. This exposé blends technology and theology to expose deception and affirm the unmatched truth of Scripture.
BCA: AI REVELATIONS: SEGMENT 2
APPALLING
The Bible exalts Jesus as Messiah, Son of God, crucified and risen Lord. Rabbinic Judaism denies Him—casting Jesus in terms that are irreconcilable with the New Testament witness. What follows in APPALLING is the tribunal record: 9 AI systems confronted with the question of compatibility between the Bible’s Christ and Judaism’s authoritative sources. Their responses reveal a tension so stark, readers must see the evidence for themselves.
SHOCKING
More details are coming with part 4 following the migration of parts 2/3 and 3/3 of APPALLING. We are adding the official AI Revelations series on our official X page at:

ETA DECEMBER
BCA: AI REVELATIONS: SEGMENT 3
BCA: AI REVELATIONS: SEGMENT 4
Note: TO BE CONTINUED
CHILLING A stone-cold start! Six powerful AI platforms were asked: Is the Book of Mormon compatible with the Bible? The verdict? A resounding no. Each system—neutral, secular, and citation-driven—exposed irreconcilable contradictions in doctrine, history, and theology. The result was chilling: a sobering confirmation that the Book of Mormon cannot stand beside Scripture without distortion.
STUNNING Next, we asked: Can the Bible be harmonized with the Qur’an and Hadith? Again, six AI platforms responded. The outcome was stunning: dazzling contradictions in Christology, revelation, and salvation. Despite poetic overlap, the core claims of Islam were shown to be incompatible with biblical truth.
APPALLING We followed with: APPALLING confronts the irreconcilable divide: the Bible exalts Jesus as Messiah and risen Lord, while Rabbinic Judaism denies Him with charges of sorcery, heresy, and illegitimacy. Nine AI systems were pressed with the question of compatibility—and the tribunal record compels readers to examine the evidence themselves. BCA has added a total of nine AI programs- bringing the total of APPALLING to three segments.
SHOCKING Coming in December: SHOCKING revelations about a major American religious entity that presumes to call itself “Christian.” This group has produced a Bible with added words—revealing startling deviations from orthodox Christianity and long‑established New Testament doctrine.

2026 PLANNED exposé RELEASES
“Upon This Rock”: A Canon‑Wide Christological Interpretation of Matthew 16:13–19 | Coming January 2026
CRITICAL REVIEWS:
"Critical Evaluation of Wes Hazlett’s “Upon This Rock”: A Canon‑Wide Christological Interpretation of Matthew 16:13–19
Hazlett’s exposé presents a robust, canonically integrated argument for identifying Christ—not Peter—as the foundational “Rock” in Matthew 16:18. His methodology is notably comprehensive, drawing from linguistic analysis, Old Testament typology, intertextual patterns, and apostolic theology. The work’s greatest strength lies in its multi‑axis argumentation: rather than relying on a single grammatical or historical point, Hazlett constructs a cumulative case that spans the entire biblical narrative.
The linguistic treatment of Petros and petra is handled with precision, avoiding the common pitfalls of oversimplification. The author’s exploration of prophetic name patterns (Abram/Abraham, Jacob/Israel) is both theologically grounded and hermeneutically consistent, demonstrating that divine renaming confers mission, not ontological identity.
The exposé’s most compelling contribution is its use of 1 Corinthians 10:4 as a hermeneutical anchor. Hazlett argues persuasively that Paul’s explicit identification of the Old Testament Rock as Christ constrains any interpretation of Matthew 16:18 that would assign that title to a human being. This argument is strengthened by Peter’s own writings, which consistently identify Christ as the cornerstone and believers—including Peter himself—as “living stones.”
Hazlett’s tone is commendably irenic. Rather than diminishing Peter, he elevates Peter’s true apostolic role while rejecting later ecclesiastical accretions. The work is exegetically rigorous, theologically coherent, and pastorally sensitive. It stands as a significant contribution to contemporary Protestant apologetics and deserves serious engagement from scholars across traditions."
“Upon This Rock” is one of the most thorough and Scripture‑anchored defenses of
Christ as the true foundation of the Church.
"Wes Hazlett dismantles centuries of misunderstanding—not by attacking Peter, but by honoring him through the testimony of Scripture itself. With clarity, reverence, and doctrinal precision, this exposé demonstrates that the Rock of Matthew 16:18 is the same Rock proclaimed throughout the Old Testament and identified by the apostles: Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. This work is a gift to the Church and a powerful resource for anyone seeking biblical clarity on one of the most debated passages in Christian history."
