J. Warner reviews evidence from ancient non-Christian historians and sources—including Thallus, Tacitus, Mara bar Serapion, Phlegon, and Pliny the Younger—that confirm the historical existence, crucifixion, and remarkable influence of Jesus. He demonstrates how these unfriendly witnesses provide valuable corroboration for key biblical claims about Jesus, supporting the reliability of the Gospel accounts. coldcasechristianity.com/vid… #EvidentialFaith #ChristianApologetics #ReasonableFaith #ColdCaseChristianity #JWarnerWallace #ForensicFaith #ChristianWorldview #InvestigateChristianity #EvidenceForGod #FaithAndReason

As a detective, my job isn’t to discard differing statements—it’s to piece them together into a unified, robust account. By comparing perspectives and resolving apparent tensions, a clearer, fuller truth always emerges. In fact, when I arrive at a crime scene, one of the first things I tell officers is, “Separate the witnesses.” I don’t want them talking to each other before I interview them. Why? Because if they do, they’ll unconsciously align their testimonies. The truest accounts, the ones I can trust most, always contain those small variations. coldcasechristianity.com/wri… #EvidentialFaith #ChristianApologetics #ReasonableFaith #ColdCaseChristianity #JWarnerWallace #ForensicFaith #ChristianWorldview #InvestigateChristianity #EvidenceForGod #FaithAndReason

Drawing from Marvel, DC, and other comic-book universes, J. Warner explores how the attributes we assign to our heroes—unlimited power, knowledge, justice, mercy, sacrificial love, and even “friendly neighborhood” presence—mirror the classic attributes of God described in Christian scripture and theology. Along the way, J. Warner connects specific heroes and scenes—from street-level protectors to godlike cosmic beings—to the eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, just, loving, and present God of the Bible, and builds a cumulative case that our stories are echoing a much older, truer Story. coldcasechristianity.com/pod… #EvidentialFaith #ChristianApologetics #ReasonableFaith #ColdCaseChristianity #JWarnerWallace #ForensicFaith #ChristianWorldview #InvestigateChristianity #EvidenceForGod #FaithAndReason

J. Warner unveils the most overlooked step in sharing the gospel: carefully identifying who is open to hearing the case for Christianity, much like selecting the right jury in a trial. He explains how understanding people’s openness helps tailor the approach for believers, doubters, and skeptics, ensuring that evidence is communicated effectively and compassionately to those most ready to listen. coldcasechristianity.com/vid… #EvidentialFaith #ChristianApologetics #ReasonableFaith #ColdCaseChristianity #JWarnerWallace #ForensicFaith #ChristianWorldview #InvestigateChristianity #EvidenceForGod #FaithAndReason

The case for theism, strong as it is, could also apply to Islam, Judaism, or any number of theistic systems. The evidence for a transcendent Creator doesn’t automatically identify which God is the true one. Some of the traits we discover about this Creator are consistent with the God of the Bible—powerful, intentional, moral—but evidence for a divine Creator alone doesn’t make the case for Jesus. coldcasechristianity.com/wri… #EvidentialFaith #ChristianApologetics #ReasonableFaith #ColdCaseChristianity #JWarnerWallace #ForensicFaith #ChristianWorldview #InvestigateChristianity #EvidenceForGod #FaithAndReason

Many Christians say, “Just preach the gospel—God will do the rest.” But Scripture paints a richer picture: the gospel is the power of God for salvation, and God still calls us to reason, explain, and persuade. In this episode, J. Warner Wallace walks through key passages—from Romans and Proverbs to the book of Acts—to show how Jesus’ first followers actually shared the message. You’ll see why Peter, Paul, and the other apostles worked so hard to contextualize the same unchanging gospel for very different audiences, from devout Jews to skeptical philosophers and hostile officials. coldcasechristianity.com/pod… #EvidentialFaith #ChristianApologetics #ReasonableFaith #ColdCaseChristianity #JWarnerWallace #ForensicFaith #ChristianWorldview #InvestigateChristianity #EvidenceForGod #FaithAndReason

It means we approach them wisely. coldcasechristianity.com/wri… #EvidentialFaith #ChristianApologetics #ReasonableFaith #ColdCaseChristianity #JWarnerWallace #ForensicFaith #ChristianWorldview #InvestigateChristianity #EvidenceForGod #FaithAndReason
