If the resurrection of Jesus is true, it changes everything. That’s why skeptics work so hard to explain it away. From the “swoon theory” to hallucinations, stolen bodies to pagan copycat myths, critics have tried every angle to avoid the empty tomb. But when the evidence is weighed, every objection collapses.
In this third episode of the Resurrection mini-series, Dr. Shaun Michael takes you into a courtroom-style rebuttal session where alternative explanations are cross-examined and exposed. With a mix of history, logic, psychology, and a touch of sharp humor, this episode shows why the resurrection is not only possible—it’s the best explanation of the facts.
What you’ll learn:
✅ Why the swoon theory fails medically, historically, and logically
✅ Why the “stolen body” idea doesn’t hold up to Roman guard discipline or the disciples’ transformation
✅ Why the hallucination theory is psychologically impossible with 500+ witnesses at once
✅ Why the “twin Jesus” / body double myth is nothing but Gnostic fan fiction
✅ How claims of “pagan resurrection myths” are shallow parallels, not real history
✅ Why the resurrection can’t be a “late invention” when early creeds date within years of the event
✅ How archaeology, eyewitnesses, and prophecy converge to confirm the risen Christ
This isn’t about playing “gotcha” with skeptics. It’s about showing that Christianity’s central claim is historically, philosophically, and theologically superior to any competing theory. The resurrection isn’t just a belief—it’s the best-supported fact of ancient history.

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.
