Shifting Traditions

In the final episode of the series, Pastor Jason examines how major behavioral shifts among first-century Jewish believers—abandoning dietary laws, the circumcision requirement, and the Saturday Sabbath—serve as historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus.

Using examples from Acts, Galatians, and the Jerusalem Council, along with commentary from scholars, the episode traces how these changes in long-held traditions are best explained by the disciples’ conviction that Jesus rose from the dead.

The episode concludes by arguing that the rapid spread and radical changes within the early church strengthen the historical case for the resurrection and invites listeners to weigh the evidence for themselves.
