0:00.0	And I've always told people, I've encouraged people, that there's enough evidence of things that are settled that if you don't have an answered question, just hold it with a loose hand because you may discover an answer.
0:11.7	And there was one, for example, skeptical claim that was made in the progressive class I was in 15 years ago that it took me five or six years to really find a
0:21.8	plausible answer for that, that could make sense of it. But because I had discovered so much
0:26.7	other, just wealth of information that settled so many other doubts, it was enough evidence to
0:31.9	trust that maybe I just don't know it. Maybe I just haven't discovered it yet. And so who knew that talking about Joanna, the obscure character in the New Testament, could lead to, welcome to the show.
1:01.6	This is the Elisa Childers podcast.
1:03.6	I'm Elisa Childers, and it's always my goal to equip Christians to identify the core beliefs of historic Christianity, discern its counterfeits, and proclaim the gospel
1:12.8	with clarity, kindness, and truth. Well, it is Resurrection Sunday, and I wish you all a very,
1:19.6	very happy Easter. I hope that it is a wonderful day where you're getting together with family
1:26.0	and remembering and celebrating what the Lord
1:30.2	Jesus Christ accomplished for us 2,000 years ago by raising from the dead, proving everything
1:37.0	he said about himself true, proving Christianity true.
1:40.6	And as we talked about in the midweek podcast, if Christianity is true, then by definition,
1:46.2	it proves all other religions false because Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life.
1:52.3	No one comes to the father, but through me. And if he proved that true by raising from the dead,
1:58.5	then by definition, we know that he is the only way. We cannot get to
2:02.9	God through works. We can't get to God through Muhammad or Buddha or anyone else, only Jesus.
2:10.4	And so I want to encourage you as you think about the resurrection today. We have a really fun episode.
2:16.1	This is the kind of nerdy stuff I just live for.
2:19.7	This has to do with biblical reliability. One of the points that we talk about in apologetics, when we're
2:26.0	talking about the reliability of the gospel testimony, are various things like embarrassing testimony,
2:33.0	embarrassing details, difficult sayings of Jesus.
