About this episode
What would it take to convince you that someone rose from the dead? In this powerful episode, Stephen Davey walks through the gospel account of Jesus’ resurrection and the unexpected witnesses who saw it firsthand. You’ll hear how women who arrived with spices left with a message, how disciples ran from confusion to belief, and how a brokenhearted woman became the first to see the risen Lord.
God didn’t rely on prestige or power to validate the resurrection. He used people from all walks of life—some wealthy, others forgotten, all transformed by grace. Why were women the first messengers in a society that ignored their voice? Why were grave clothes so important to the narrative? And why didn’t Jesus show up at the temple or in front of Rome’s officials? Because His resurrection was never about performance—it was about personal transformation.
If you’ve ever doubted the resurrection or wondered how a first-century tomb could still change lives today, this episode will renew your faith. You’ll discover that you, too, are called to be a witness to something miraculous.
