How to Give Evidence of the Resurrection WITHOUT Using the Bible with Allen Parr

What if you’re talking to someone who flat-out rejects the Bible despite its historic credibility—can you still make a good case for the Resurrection? The answer is...YES!

Popular Christian YouTuber, Allen Parr from The B.E.A.T., joins Frank from CIA 2025 to explore some of the most convincing evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. While the New Testament documents have proven to be reliable and trustworthy, Frank and Allen demonstrate how extra-biblical sources can guide skeptics toward the historical truth of Christianity—even if they don’t trust the Bible (yet!). They’ll answer questions like:

-- What two facts must be established in order for Christianity to be true?
-- Why do many skeptics like Bart Ehrman trust the New Testament documents as having historically reliable information?
-- What are the five strongest pieces of biblical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus?
-- Could the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus be explained by hallucinations?
-- What's an important question to ask someone who says they don't trust the Bible?
-- What are 6 facts that non-Christian sources confirm about the historical Jesus?
-- What is the "minimal facts" argument and how does it help defend the Christian faith?
-- What are 5 alternative theories to the resurrection and are any of them valid?
-- Is a transformed life the strongest argument we have for Christianity?

Whether you’re talking to a skeptic, a curious friend, or even a Christian with doubts, this episode will equip you with historical tools to build confidence in the resurrection—without needing to quote the Bible first!
