Exploring the Reality of the Resurrection with Drew Daniels

Episode description as stored

Tommy sits down with Drew Daniels, founding pastor of Boulevard Church in Richmond, Virginia, to explore what the resurrection of Jesus Christ actually means, not just theologically, but historically and personally. They walk through the evidence, wrestle with the hard questions, and land on why a 2000-year-old event still changes everything about how we live today. Drew brings an honest, grounded faith to one of Tommy's favorite conversation topics of the year. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Drew's family inheritance of faith, from a self-taught preacher grandfather in rural Nebraska to his own call to plant a church Why Christianity is the only world religion built on the claim that God came to you, not the other way around The historical and extra-biblical evidence that gives the resurrection credibility 2000 years later Why Tommy believes the resurrection can't be proven but says the preponderance of evidence is overwhelming The C.S. Lewis framework: Jesus is either a liar, a lunatic, or Lord What Tim Keller meant when he said the gospel changes everything Drew's raw story of asking God for a week off from belief during the hardest season of church planting, and what happened the next morning Timestamps: (0:00) Intro (3:37) Drew's story (10:31) Why the resurrection matters (22:57) Historical evidence for the resurrection (26:11) The disciples' martyrdom and women at the tomb (34:03) What difference does it make? (50:22) Final Thoughts + Connect with Boulevard Church Resources / Next Steps: Learn more about Drew and Boulevard Church at blvdchurchrva.com .
