Is Jesus able to give you new life? Did He really rise from the dead? Is the resurrection of Jesus the proof of all He accomplished?

In this episode, we explore what it truly means to be alive in Christ. We discuss how shame and condemnation no longer define believers because of the resurrection and the indwelling Holy Spirit. We also highlight that righteousness is evidenced by love, and that new life in Jesus brings both healing and purpose.
