The resurrection of Jesus isn’t just a historical claim—it’s the power that changes lives today.In this episode of The Other 6 Days, CJ sits down with Pastor Sean McCartin to explore what the resurrection really means for everyday life. From reaching the lost to breaking destructive habits, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is still at work today.Together they discuss evangelism, church planting, affinity ministry, and the hope that comes when someone realizes they are not who they used to be because of Christ.If the resurrection is true—and it is—it doesn’t just change eternity... It changes Monday morning.INFORMATION & RESOURCES:Hope in Times of Fear:The Resurrection and the Meaning of Easter— Tim Keller (https://a.co/d/0iI1RFxg)The Resurrection of Jesus as Christianity's Centerpiece — C.S.
