In Episode 21 of The Proceeding Word, Ps Brian Heath and Emily Braithwaite explore one of the most important questions in human history: did Jesus really rise from the dead, and why does it matter?

Recorded over the Easter weekend, this episode unpacks the central truth of Christianity. The resurrection of Jesus. Ps Brian explains why the resurrection is not just a belief, but the foundation of the Christian faith, and what it means for every person today.

Looking at Scripture and historical evidence, this episode walks through four key areas that support the reality of the resurrection: the crucifixion of Jesus, the early reporting of the resurrection, the empty tomb, and eyewitness accounts. It also highlights the personal and transformative power of encountering the risen Christ.

More than just history, this episode brings a personal challenge. The resurrection cannot remain just a story. Every person must seek the truth and decide for themselves who Jesus is, and what they will do with that truth.

This episode concludes with an invitation to respond and a prayer for those ready to place their trust in Jesus.
