Holy Hodgepodge: Why Should I Believe in the Resurrection?

Join Pastor Josh and Pastor Smith for this month's episode of Holy Hodgepodge as they tackle the question: Why Should I Believe in the Resurrection?

Next week is Holy Week, and we will be celebrating Jesus' resurrection from the grave, which lies at the very center of our faith and our hope. Certainly we take it by faith that Jesus did in fact rise from the dead. But are there any other reasons why we can be confident? Is there anything we can use in conversations with other people who may be skeptical or in total disbelief that the resurrection of the dead could actually occur?

We hope this episode is helpful for you as you think about reasons to be confident in Christ's resurrection!
