Summary

No better time than Christmas to take a look at who Jesus really was. This episode is a deep dive into the historical Jesus—what we know, what we don’t, and how the story evolved over time. I ended up liking Jesus (the real guy) a lot more by the end of this.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Girls' Camp podcast. I'm your host, Haley Raw. I am really so super-hyped about the topic of today's episode.

0:53.1

We are talking about Jesus, but we're talking about the topic of today's episode. We are talking about Jesus, but we're talking about the

0:57.5

historical Jesus. I have been studying my little heart out, and I've just been getting really

deep down this rabbit hole of what we actually know, historically speaking, about Jesus of Nazareth.

1:15.2

It's such a fascinating topic. It's fascinating from a historical perspective. And then, of course,
