![Why We Can Trust the Resurrection (with Mike Kruger) [The Deep Dish - Ep. 33]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tx8IO0sJ9Aw/mqdefault.jpg "Why We Can Trust the Resurrection (with Mike Kruger) [The Deep Dish - Ep. 33]
Courtney and Melissa talk with New Testament scholar (and Melissa’s husband) Mike Kruger about the excellent evidence that Jesus physically rose from the dead and the difference that makes for our lives. Kruger points out that because Jesus predicted his own resurrection, it validates his claims to be the Son of God and the Messiah. Kruger highlights the transformative impact of the resurrection on early Christians, including their willingness to be martyred for their faith.
