Today on Resident Strangers Steve and Rich are covering the hallmark of the Christian faith and that is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Have you ever thought about what it would mean if Jesus did not rise from the dead? It is not possible to overstate how important the resurrection is for all of Christianity. This is a central issue of our Christian faith that cannot be comprised or disputed. Steve and Rich cover some ways that we can know for certain that Jesus did in fact rise from the dead. They also go over some of theories that exist and how you can process those with Biblical and even historical truth. Something powerful to think about is that the fact that people even believed that Jesus rose from the dead is itself evidence for the resurrection. Rich explains that further in the conversation. Steve closes with talking about the life change that happened then and continues to happen now as a result of the resurrection. This is a crucial event to understand, be sure to listen!
