Finishing up the Passion Week of Jesus we divide into the absolute historical certainty of the cross!

Pastor Vinnie and Jon deeply explore both consensuses of modern scholars as well as the political and theological reasons as to why we can be certain that the historical Jesus really died on the cross for us. This is perhaps one of our most in-depth episodes this season so far this season and you will be thrilled with the certainty that Jesus finished the passion week dying for our sins.

About Seasons Two:

While season 1 is still in the archives, for those who want to review it, each season of this podcast is a little be different than the last. Last season I (Pastor Vinnie) focused on mostly stand-alone topics. I had occasional guests yet, I was the main presenter. This season we are changing things up. Our focus for this full season is the historical Jesus; including his culture, people, political situation, and geographical footprint. I am joined by Jonathan Martin who is my new co-host for the season!

It is all about seeking Jesus on deeper theological levels.
