Belief in the resurrection of Jesus is central to our faith. 

And as we look back at what is recorded in scripture we see solid evidence that the events described that day really happened. The best part is that you don’t have to be a scholar or have a degree to understand it! The resurrection is a story of ultimate hope. We know how the story ends, but how did it happen? Why was it necessary? What is the life-changing power of the cross? In this episode, Rick, Brian and Eric dive into the rich evidence of the resurrection of Christ and what that means for us today. Understanding these facts helps equip us to enter hard conversations about our faith with knowledge and love.
