Before theology… before tradition… before church doctrine — who was Jesus in his actual historical world?
In this episode, we strip everything down to the environmental, tribal, political, and social realities of 1st-century Judea under Rome. From John the Baptist to Roman crucifixion practices, we examine what history tells us about how and why Jesus was executed — including the brutal reality of public crucifixion as a method of humiliation and state power.
And the bigger question: Why did His movement grow after Rome tried to erase Him?
This isn’t Sunday school. This is historical context.
