What if I told you the resurrection of Jesus wasn’t a last-minute twist, but a move scripted before the foundation of the world? The empty tomb wasn’t just history—it was prophecy, fulfilled with precision centuries before it happened.
In this episode of Building Blocks - Season 1, Dr. Shaun Michael unpacks why the resurrection is not just a theological idea but the very cornerstone of Christianity. If it didn’t happen, Paul says our faith is worthless (1 Corinthians 15:14). But if it did, it changes everything—life, death, and eternity.
What you’ll learn:
✅ Why the resurrection is the foundation of Christian faith—and what falls apart without it
✅ Old Testament prophecies pointing directly to the resurrection (Psalm 16:10, Isaiah 53, Daniel 12)
✅ How Jesus predicted His own resurrection with stunning accuracy (Matthew 12:40, John 2:19, Mark 9:31)
✅ Why the resurrection shocked first-century expectations and defied cultural assumptions ✅ The theological weight of the empty tomb: forgiveness, justification, and eternal hope
✅ How the resurrection demonstrates God’s power over death, sin, and evil
✅ Why no other worldview offers the same kind of hope in the face of death
The resurrection isn’t just a claim—it’s God’s cosmic mic drop. It validates Jesus’ identity, secures our salvation, and guarantees our future.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
