Air Date: Apr. 22, 2025How Do You Know For SURE that Jesus Resurrected? (Part 1)

🕵️‍♂️💥 Ever wondered if there’s REAL PROOF that Jesus rose from the dead?
What if we investigated it like a real missing person case?

In today’s episode of Be the 25, we’re going full detective mode 🧠🔎 as we start breaking down some of the most common theories people throw around to explain away the resurrection:

❌ “Jesus wasn’t really dead…”
❌ “Someone stole the body…”
❌ “The disciples went to the wrong tomb…”
❌ “It was all just a hallucination…”
❌ Or even wild stuff like Jesus having a twin brother 👥…or aliens took Him👽

But do those theories hold up when you actually LOOK at the EVIDENCE? 👀📜
We’re starting this two-part investigation by examining the eyewitness accounts found in the Gospels 📖 and tackling the first major theory — the idea that Jesus never really died on the cross.

💥 Spoiler alert: He didn’t just faint. What He endured was BRUTAL. 😓💔
We walk through the physical suffering Jesus went through — from being slapped, beaten, mocked, and flogged — to show why the “swoon theory” doesn’t stand a chance.

👣 Along the way, you’ll learn:

• Why the Gospel writers’ different details actually make their stories MORE believable, not less 🧩
• What a Roman flogging really was and why it was often deadly 💀
• Why eyewitness testimony matters 🗣️📝

📣 Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:17 that if Christ has not been raised, your faith is useless.
So yeah — this matters. A lot. 😮‍💨

📌 Next episode is Part 2, where we’ll investigate more of the resurrection theories and see what the evidence really says about what happened that first Easter morning. Don’t miss it!
