What do I know with Isaac CarrollThe Gospel's Final Chapter: Exploring Matthew 28 and the ResurrectionSend us a textThe resurrection stands as Christianity's cornerstone, and Matthew's final chapter delivers this world-changing event with dramatic flair. From the earthquake that shook the ground to the angel whose appearance was "like lightning," the supernatural elements underscore the cosmic significance of what happened that morning outside Jerusalem.Our study takes a fascinating detour through the seeming contradictions between the four Gospel accounts. Why does Matthew mention one angel sitting on the stone, while Luke describes two angels? Why does Mark place the angel inside the tomb, yet John doesn't mention angels at...2025-06-0506 minWhat do I know with Isaac CarrollWalking Through Matthew 27: Jesus' Final HoursSend us a textHave you ever considered the magnitude of suffering Jesus endured before His crucifixion?

This staggering detail transforms our understanding of Christ's pre-crucifixion experience.Our deep dive into Matthew 27 reveals numerous overlooked aspects of the crucifixion narrative. The "wine mixed with gall" offered to Jesus wasn't just another cruelty—it was actually intended to dull pain.

Decoding the GurusEric Weinstein vs. Sean Carroll: Pomp & FuryIn this medium-decoding episode, Matt and Chris turn their attention to an unlikely venue for cutting-edge theoretical physics: Piers Morgan Uncensored. There, Eric Weinstein, renegade genius and uber guru, squares off with Sean Carroll, an actual physicist and popular science communicator, in what might generously be called a “debate.”Eric brings his usual mix of personality-focused historical revisionism, intentional technobabble, and performative outrage, complete with a conspiratorial tale of how physics was hijacked in 1983 by a single lecture (that Eric was naturally present at) and how Eric is the unacknowledged creator of Seiberg-Witten equations. Sean Carroll, meanwhile, does...2025-05-302h 08What do I know with Isaac CarrollMatthew 24: Decoding Christ's Warning to BelieversSend us a textProphecy has always captivated believers, but what happens when we strip away sensationalism and return to Christ's actual words?
