Did they fake Jesus's resurrection? Dr. Evan Posey | EP. 32
1h 12m | Apr 2, 2025Welcome back to another thought-provoking episode of The After Church Podcast. In Episode 32, Trey Bailey & Kurt Petersheim are diving deep into one of the most significant questions in history: Did Jesus really rise from the dead?
Joining Trey and Kurt for this episode is Dr. Evan Posey, the Executive Vice President and Provost of Luther Rice College and Seminary. Together, they have a fascinating and "messy middle" conversation about the trustworthiness of the resurrection of Jesus. Is it a historical fact? Did it really happen? What evidence supports the claim?
In this episode, the conversation takes listeners through a combination of theological reflection and historical evidence. We explore the implications of the resurrection, the transformation of the disciples, and how these events have changed the course of history. Dr. Posey shares his expertise in apologetics, helping us understand the textual evidence and historical context that support the claim of the resurrection.
They also discuss the real-world significance of the resurrection, not just as a theological concept, but as an event that has the power to impact our lives today. Whether you are a long-time believer, a skeptic, or just curious, this episode challenges us all to confront the truth about what happened on that first Easter morning.
Whether you're familiar with the biblical accounts or hearing these questions for the first time, Episode 35 is an engaging exploration of faith, history, and the messy middle of difficult questions. Tune in, and don’t miss out on this intellectual yet deeply personal conversation.
