SUMMARY
Many non-Christians are skeptical about Jesus' resurrection. Perhaps they simply have a misunderstanding about it being a physical resurrection, not just a spiritual one. Some Christians may not even be equipped to defend the historicity of the resurrection and may not know its importance to the Christian life. Brad talks with Sean Duncan about how the historical truth of the resurrection means everything to the Christian - from our ability to share the full Gospel to our very salvation.
