Description

In this episode, we tackle one of the most common objections to Christianity: miracles. If the universe is purely natural, then miracles can’t exist—but if even one miracle is real, it points to something beyond the natural world. We explore historical and archaeological clues surrounding the Exodus, examine the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus, and discuss modern accounts of miraculous healings and supernatural experiences. Are miracles just ancient legends, or is there real evidence that the supernatural still breaks into our world today?
