Summary

Many people say that they can’t believe in miracles because they’ve never seen one. Is that a good reason to disbelieve in the miraculous? Frank points out that you believe in a lot of things that you’ve never seen, and that miracles are exactly the kind of phenomenon that occurs rarely. If they occurred more… well, you’ll have to listen. So should we believe in the Resurrection of Jesus? Frank gives four lines of evidence to show that the answer is yes. In fact, it takes more faith to believe Jesus did NOT rise from the dead. (Note: This podcast builds on the evidence presented in last week’s show.)
