Our Q&R Podcast is for the seeker and skeptic in all of us, designed to create a posture of curiosity about 
ourselves and others. 

This month, we explore a heavy hitting question:

Did Jesus really rise from the dead?

In a way, this is a follow up to our last Q&R podcast on pain and suffering, because the resurrection is the future hope that we have. It’s also something that has divided cultures, and caused debate among believers and unbelievers for millennia.

As the Apostle Paul once said, “if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile.” So in this episode, we examine the compelling case for the resurrection. We discuss the crucifixion, the empty tomb, the witnesses and transformation of the disciples, and finally the explosion of the Christian movement in the ancient world.

We discuss alternate theories of what happened, and why those conclusions do not measure up on an intellectual level. Finally, we discuss why the resurrection brings such hope, and what it means for this life and the next.
