If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile. (1 Corinthians 15:17) That verse is Christianity’s ultimate mic drop. The resurrection isn’t a side note—it’s the cornerstone. If it didn’t happen, faith collapses. If it did, it changes everything.

In this episode of the Understanding the Bible mini-series, Dr. Shaun Michael presents the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus using the renowned Minimal Facts Approach developed by Dr. Gary Habermas. This framework doesn’t rely on blind faith—it uses evidence so strong that even skeptical scholars accept it.

Think of it like stepping into a courtroom: the case is built on reliable sources, historical corroboration, and undeniable transformation. By the end, you’ll see why the resurrection stands as one of the best-supported events of ancient history.

What you’ll learn:

✅ What the Minimal Facts Approach is—and why even skeptics take it seriously

✅ Why Jesus’ crucifixion is one of the most historically certain events in antiquity

✅ How the empty tomb is confirmed by biblical testimony, hostile witnesses, and historical silence

✅ Why the disciples’ experiences of the risen Christ transformed cowards into martyrs

✅ The stunning conversions of Paul and James—enemies turned leaders because they saw the risen Jesus

✅ How the earliest Christian preaching centered on the resurrection from day one

✅ Why archaeology, textual evidence, and historical methodology confirm the Gospel accounts

This isn’t just apologetics—it’s hope. If Christ has been raised, then sin is defeated, death is conquered, and eternity is secure.
