Former cold-case detective and bestselling apologist J. Warner Wallace returns to the Reasonable Theology Podcast — and this time, he’s joined by his son, Jimmy Wallace, who is also a detective and Christian apologist.

Together, they’ve created a compelling new graphic novel that explores important truths through storytelling: Case Files: Murder and Meaning.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• Their real-life experiences in law enforcement
• How detective work informs their approach to Christian apologetics
• Why fiction and storytelling can powerfully point people to truth
• The creative journey behind their graphic novel
• What it's like working on a faith-based project as a father-son team

This is a fun and insightful conversation with lots of laughs, wisdom, and encouragement for those looking to effectively explore and explain Christian concepts to others.

There is no joy on Easter Sunday without the sorrow of Good Friday.

There is no resurrection without the cross.

And there is no salvation without them both.

Without the events of Sunday morning the events of Friday afternoon were merely a terrible tragedy.

The cross was necessary, as it was here Christ bore the wrath of God against sin and took the full weight of its punishment so that our debt of sin against God could be paid in full.

Romans 5:10 says “while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son.”

The Resurrection was necessary, for a dead Savior cannot save anyone. As we read in Romans 4:25, Christ “was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.”

That Christ rose from the dead three days later proves that His sacrifice for sin was accepted by the Father and that Jesus truly has power over both sin and death. The Resurrection proves that Jesus is who Scripture says He is!

Listen to this sermon on Matthew 28 to gain a fuller appreciation for the reality of the Resurrection, the reactions people had and have to this reality, and the right response to the truth that Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

In John 8:48-59 we find a dramatic confrontation between Jesus and the religious leaders that culminates in one of His clearest declarations of deity: "Before Abraham was, I AM." The Jewish leaders understand His claim—That He is declaring Himself to be God—and attempt to stone Him.

In this sermon we'll explore Christ’s promise that “if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death,” the true nature of sin, and why Jesus must be truly God and truly man in order to accomplish our salvation.
