Summary

Mario became convinced that Jesus bodily rose from the dead because of the historical evidence for it. He wrote a paper defending the resurrection for a school project, in Belgium, and asked me to do an interview on the topic as well as to answer several objections from his teacher. What excites me the most is just knowing his story and how those of us who have been doing online ministry have been able to play a role in it. To any skeptics who may be listening. I encourage you to take this evidence seriously and to dig on your own. Not just looking for reasons to reject Christianity but looking to discover what the truth is. Here are some VERY helpful links. My video explaining why, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence", doesn't help the skeptic deny the resurrection. https://youtu.be/3GRAI-us4es A large video giving tons of evidence for the resurrection. https://youtu.be/0Rtmn5LLM-0 A short video for those who only have moment to hear the evidence. This is something to get the conversation started with a friend. https://youtu.be/4qhQRMhUK1o My video on the evidence for the empty tomb. https://youtu.be/C8BU_R7QoYo My playlist of live Q&A videos. Mario mentioned these have been helpful for him and I thought you might be interested as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gflBDcJV5wc&list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHsF2AppZDY7p1wGK0BwahuZ Here is my verse by verse series going through the Gospel of Mark and covering various theology and apologetics issues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c7jWg60N_0&list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuGenHwUdeiQ5M-uj5XW4sF

0:00.0	What was your life like before Christ? What led you to Christ specifically? What was your journey?
0:05.4	So I was an atheist basically on my life looked at the evidence for the resurrection and concluded that that's truth.
0:12.4	You're the reason why we do this. You're the guy we're doing this for.
0:15.6	And it blesses me tremendously to hear about the impact it's having in your life.
0:19.5	Mario is a teen in Belgium who not too long ago came to Jesus Christ partly because of the work of not
0:25.2	only my ministry online, but David Wood and what do you mean? John McRase ministry and capturing
0:30.4	Christianity, Ken Bretuzzi's ministry. And the impact these things had in his life is evident.
0:36.5	Now what he's done is he's written a paper defending the resurrection of Christ for his classroom.
0:41.7	His teacher has critiqued that paper and now he's interviewing me to go over the details of the
0:47.6	resurrection, the evidence for the resurrection, as well as answer his teacher's critiques of that
0:53.0	paper of that evidence. And we also at the very end to get into some chatting, get into some
0:58.2	details about Mario and what his story has been like and where he's at now. I hope that this
1:02.4	is a blessing to you and I hope it encourages everybody out there in not only the evidential
1:06.8	factualness of the Christian faith, but in the fact that like anybody can learn this stuff
1:10.8	and share it with others. But to also remember, there's other spiritual things going on.
1:15.9	Evidence is needed, but it's a heart issue that ultimately we have to overcome when we turn
1:21.3	our lives over to Christ. Yeah, go ahead and take over, man. It's all yours. You run in the show.
1:26.0	So yeah, I'll just get right into it. So for the case, we've got all of these different
1:32.0	arguments and evidences. But what according to you is like the best argument or the argument that
1:37.6	stands out. Yeah. Yeah, the best argument like for the resurrection of Christ, I think the
1:43.2	the thing I want people to realize when they when they talk about this issue is that the
1:46.7	resurrection of Christ is like a historical claim. We're making a claim about history. It's not
