    The Resurrection: The Linchpin of Faith

    Send a text If Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, Christianity falls apart. In this episode of The Simply Christian Podcast, Casey, David, and Michael tackle the central claim of the Christian faith: the Resurrection. As Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15, if Christ is not risen, our faith is empty. Christianity isn’t built merely on teachings—it stands on a historical event. Was the tomb really empty? Did the disciples steal the body? Were the appearances hallucinations? The hosts examine the strongest skeptical theories and walk through the historical evidence—from the transformed apostles to the testimony of the first witnesses. They also explore why the risen Jesus eating fish in Luke 24 matters, how the Resurrection unlocks the Old Testament, and why the Ascension means Christ is reigning right now. Because He lives, death is not the end. The victory is won. But how is it applied? Next week: Salvation — The Journey Home.

    The Great Exchange: The Scandal of the Cross (Atonement)

    Send a text Join our hosts, Casey, David, and Michael as they take a deep and reverent look at the cross of Christ and its central purpose in God’s redemptive plan—atonement for sin. In this episode, the discussion centers on why the cross was necessary, what it accomplished, and how the sacrifice of Jesus satisfies both the justice and the mercy of God. Together, they explore the biblical meaning of atonement, the seriousness of sin, and the immeasurable love demonstrated at Calvary. What does it mean that Christ died “for us”? How does His sacrifice reconcile us to God? And what does the cross demand from those who would follow Him? This conversation invites listeners to move beyond a surface understanding of the cross and reflect on its eternal significance for every Simply Christian.

    The Journey Home

    Send a text Join Casey and David as they bring clarity, balance, and biblical harmony to one of Christianity’s most vital doctrines. The tomb is empty. The King is enthroned. The victory is won. But here’s the question that follows the Resurrection: How does that victory become mine? In Episode 9, Salvation: The Journey Home, Casey and David walk through one of the most misunderstood and debated subjects in Christianity—Are we saved by grace? By faith? By works? Or some combination of all three? Cutting through centuries of confusion and theological slogans, they carefully define the biblical meaning of Grace, Faith, Justification, and Sanctification, showing how these doctrines fit together rather than compete with one another. What does Paul mean when he says in Ephesians 2:8–10 that we are saved “by grace through faith… not of works”? How does that harmonize with James 2 when he says, “faith without works is dead”? Rather than forcing Paul and James into opposition, Casey and David demonstrate how they are standing back-to-back, fighting different enemies but proclaiming the same gospel. This episode traces salvation as a journey: •Grace as the source •Faith as the response •Obedience as the expression •Sanctification as the transformation •And glory as the destination If Episode 8 established the Resurrection as the decisive event in history, Episode 9 explains how that event is personally applied. Salvation is not a slogan. It is not a one-word answer. It is not earned. And it is not automatic. It is the journey home is made possible by Christ, initiated by grace, received through faith, and lived out in faithful obedience.
