  • The Passion of Christ Meets the World | S4 E25
    Apr 13 2025

    So Jesus came, Jesus died, Jesus rose, and Jesus conquered. After going through the Gospels, what else is left to say? “How to Buy Drugs From Desperate Panicked Criminals With Guns” is one of the essays I wrote at the University of Arizona before I dropped out and had to restart my life. I wrote it about the experiences I had leaving my home at age 16 and encountering some of the worst of what America in that time and place had to offer. I have been telling the Extraordinary Story of Jesus Christ and I have been sharing struggles I had in my faith life. This week I start to tell the tale of how the blood Jesus shed on Calvary got to my ancestors in El Salvador, and Mexico, and Kansas. Because while I get that Jesus Christ was alive 2,000 years ago, in the year 0-something AD, what difference does that make in the year 2000-something “C.E.”? That is what will come next in Jesus Christ’s Extraordinary Story.

  • The Strangeness of the Ascension | S4 E24
    Apr 6 2025

    The life of Jesus gets strange on this episode of The Extraordinary Story. According to some prominent religious art, this is the episode where he flies into the sky. And according to snake handlers, this is the episode where he gives us all sorts of crazy powers. But I want to show how it doesn't have to seem so strange after all, and then finish my evidence for the resurrection with the most powerful evidence of all.

  • Evidence for the Resurrection | S4 E23
    Mar 23 2025

    In this episode of The Extraordinary Story, I want to share with you the story of a scholar who poked holes in the resurrection story — and then I want to let you know how I fill those holes in. If you've been following this podcast from the beginning, you know that there’s a long gap between season two and season three. That's because I went on a journey, an intellectual journey, as the work of one honest Christian scholar made me question a lot of what I had taken for granted about the resurrection. Today I present to you evidence for the resurrection.

Remarkable podcast—everyone needs this!

I have been on a journey of faith for about 17 years that has included everything from rediscovering Scripture, learning to pray and talk with God, diving into what it means to be human and who God has revealed Himself to be, and exploring why we are here and what it all means. I have read books, done short online studies, attended Bible studies, listened to podcasts, and completed a graduate degree in Theology. Even with all of that, I have to say this is one of the best resources that has changed and grown my faith. I think the reason we struggle with faith and questions of the meaning of life so much is because we are looking at it from the wrong perspective. Much like one of those ambiguous images where you see nothing but an old woman until you shift your perspective and can see the young woman or can only see a rabbit until you are able to see a duck, Tom Hoopes does a masterful job of helping us flip our perspective and realize our place in history and God’s family. Everyone needs to listen to this podcast—you will never be the same and will truly find a greater peace and relationship with God.
