If the resurrection of Jesus is true, it changes everything. That’s why skeptics work so hard to explain it away. From the “swoon theory” to hallucinations, stolen bodies to pagan copycat myths, critics have tried every angle to avoid the empty tomb. But when the evidence is weighed, every objection collapses.

In this third episode of the Resurrection mini-series, Dr. Shaun Michael takes you into a courtroom-style rebuttal session where alternative explanations are cross-examined and exposed. With a mix of history, logic, psychology, and a touch of sharp humor, this episode shows why the resurrection is not only possible—it’s the best explanation of the facts.

What you’ll learn:

✅ Why the swoon theory fails medically, historically, and logically

✅ Why the “stolen body” idea doesn’t hold up to Roman guard discipline or the disciples’ transformation

✅ Why the hallucination theory is psychologically impossible with 500+ witnesses at once

✅ Why the “twin Jesus” / body double myth is nothing but Gnostic fan fiction

✅ How claims of “pagan resurrection myths” are shallow parallels, not real history

✅ Why the resurrection can’t be a “late invention” when early creeds date within years of the event

✅ How archaeology, eyewitnesses, and prophecy converge to confirm the risen Christ

This isn’t about playing “gotcha” with skeptics. It’s about showing that Christianity’s central claim is historically, philosophically, and theologically superior to any competing theory. The resurrection isn’t just a belief—it’s the best-supported fact of ancient history.

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.

What if I told you the resurrection of Jesus wasn’t a last-minute twist, but a move scripted before the foundation of the world? The empty tomb wasn’t just history—it was prophecy, fulfilled with precision centuries before it happened.

In this episode of Building Blocks - Season 1, Dr. Shaun Michael unpacks why the resurrection is not just a theological idea but the very cornerstone of Christianity. If it didn’t happen, Paul says our faith is worthless (1 Corinthians 15:14). But if it did, it changes everything—life, death, and eternity.

What you’ll learn:

✅ Why the resurrection is the foundation of Christian faith—and what falls apart without it

✅ Old Testament prophecies pointing directly to the resurrection (Psalm 16:10, Isaiah 53, Daniel 12)

✅ How Jesus predicted His own resurrection with stunning accuracy (Matthew 12:40, John 2:19, Mark 9:31)

✅ Why the resurrection shocked first-century expectations and defied cultural assumptions ✅ The theological weight of the empty tomb: forgiveness, justification, and eternal hope

✅ How the resurrection demonstrates God’s power over death, sin, and evil

✅ Why no other worldview offers the same kind of hope in the face of death

The resurrection isn’t just a claim—it’s God’s cosmic mic drop. It validates Jesus’ identity, secures our salvation, and guarantees our future.
