Did Jesus have to die, or is that not even how we should think about it? And why is blood both a source of holiness and defilement? Also, what do menstruation and “nocturnal emissions” have to do with each other in Leviticus?

Did Jesus have to die?

Christianity isn’t about pretending to believe something you know isn’t true. Former pastor Nate Hanson and Bible scholar Shelby Hanson sit down with leading scholars and thinkers to hear their best case for Christianity. We bring the tough questions, the doubts, the pushback, and the "but what about…" not to tear it down, but to show why it’s worth holding on to. With over 2 million downloads, Almost Heretical has become a space for doubters, seekers, and believers to discover a faith built on reason, history, and hope.
