Why Did He Need to Rise? EASTER
Normally, we have funny podcast descriptions. Feels kinda off to joke around with the cornerstone of our faith.
In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the Resurrection — not just as a historical event, but as the heartbeat of Christianity. We start with a simple but important question: Was the resurrection of Jesus necessary for our salvation? It’s a question that kept Jimmy up at night as a young believer, and it’s one we unpack together by tracing through Scripture, theology, and even a few 16-year-old soul-searching memories.
We explore how the Resurrection acts as proof — proof that Jesus truly is the Son of God, proof that our sins were fully paid for on the cross, and proof that there is a day of judgment coming. Along the way, we wrestle with how the empty tomb gives us confidence in our faith, comfort in our fight against sin, and real hope that death does not have the final say.
If you’re looking to dig deeper, here are two books we recommend:
This is one of the most foundational conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast, and it’s one we hope encourages your heart as we move through this Easter season. Thank you for joining us — we couldn’t be more grateful to walk through these truths with you.
