One thing I like to do with decks like this is brew multiple forks. You have a combo of 3 cards in 2.5 colors. So you have 12 spells and 3 color combo options (GW, RW, RWG). From there you can try on a variety of archetype shells and see if anything works better. By creating separate, but very similar brews, it helps me see what's working well or, and this happens to me a lot, if I'm just spinning my wheels, lol.

First off, nice work. It's not easy to build decks such as this - there's just never enough space to pack everything you want in and I think you made a lot of solid choices.
Why Apostle's Blessing instead of Faith's Shield as a budget replacement for Heroic Intervention? Artifacts? Mana?
1x Hall of Heliod's Generosity to the manabase?
I feel like it needs some draw card/filtering/tutors. I like 3-piece combos because they're fun when they work, but they almost always need so much coaxing. I'm fairly certain you're not going to find near duplicates of any of the combo pieces, either, which always makes a brew both riskier and more difficult to pull off.
Another concern I have with this brew is that Fog, Suppression Field, and Authority of the Consuls won't slow down opponents enough. Those spells account for 1/6 of the deck, which sounds like a lot, but odds are you'll only hit one in the opening hand and maybe a second before the game ends. I don't think that's enough.
I don't know that there's a solution per se. I'd experiment with trying tutors and draw engines and also more pillow fort spells like Ghostly Prison in place of Nature's Claim and Tamiyo's Safekeeping. Protection spells are great, but if you can't get the combo, there's nothing really to protect.
For the record, I playtested it about 6 times and never got the entire combo within 10 turns and never had much defense either. I think, yes, given 15+ turns, it would start to look viable, but that's asking a lot from a fast format like Modern.

#1That's, um, a, well, a bit husky? I suggest reducing the library to 60 spells. Move 15 you can't bear to cut into the sideboard.
