Is the Resurrection just a vision—or did Jesus actually rise from the dead? In this Easter episode, Dr. Mikel Del Rosario sits down with Dr. Gary Habermas, one of the leading experts on the resurrection, to talk about why the hallucination theory doesn’t hold up.

We unpack:

What hallucinations and visions really are (and why they don’t explain group appearances)

Why naturalism fails to explain the resurrection

How NDEs and spiritual experiences point beyond a materialist worldview

There's good evidence that Easter Sunday really happened. And this is a conversation worth hearing.
