Is it possible that Jesus, the most influential person in history, was just a fictional character? In this midweek podcast, Frank responds to a question from Elijah, a medical student in Ghana, whose evolutionist professor seems unwilling to consider that Jesus existed unless Elijah can provide first century sources from outside of the Bible. What's the most effective way for Elijah to engage with his teacher's skepticism? Join Frank as he explores these questions and more, including: -- How can you respectfully defend your faith in the classroom? -- What historical and archaeological evidence confirms Jesus’ existence? -- Are extra-biblical sources more credible than the New Testament writers? -- What common presuppositions do atheists hold, and how can you respectfully challenge them? -- Are there any atheist or agnostic New Testament scholars who believe that Jesus never existed? -- Was Christianity a Roman invention designed to control the masses? -- What unique characteristics does Jesus hold that we don't find in any other human being? Tune in as Frank not only shares the facts, but also gives practical advice on engaging skeptics with confidence, clarity, and respect.
