This episode is part of a four-part Easter series.

This week on Launch Your Rocket we’re doing something a little different.

Instead of our normal podcast rhythm, we’re walking through a four-part Easter series exploring the story behind Jesus and the Bible in a way that actually makes sense.

No church jargon.

Earlier this week we asked a simple question:

Why Jesus?

Why has the entire world — for thousands of years — fallen to its knees for one man?

And we discovered something interesting.

Jesus offers the very things every human heart is searching for:

Love.

But if Jesus offers all of that…

Why do so many people push him away?

In this episode we explore one of the most fascinating tensions in human nature.

The world loves the results of Jesus’ teachings.

We love ideas like forgiveness, kindness, humility, service, peace, and purpose.

But the moment someone points to where those ideas actually come from — Jesus and the Bible — many people start backing away.

Why?

Sometimes it’s because truth exposes things inside of us we would rather keep hidden.

Sometimes it’s because life has hurt us and we struggle to trust God when pain enters the story.

And sometimes it’s simply because comfort is easier than change.

But what if the very thing we resist is the very thing that could set us free?

In this conversation we explore why people push Jesus away — and why trying his way might lead to the life so many people are actually searching for.
