The DHF Podcast

Disciple Heritage Fellowship exists to support the church. Specifically, we assist pastors and churches with a common heritage in the Stone-Campbell movement to fulfill Christ’s mission to make disciples. We provide encouragement to pastors and lay leaders alike as they strive to lead the congregation in which God has placed them. Sometimes they need encouragement. Other times resources or ministry support is what is called for. An important part of our work is helping to build a network of support of like-minded congregations. We are on the same team!

Apologist Evan Minton joins Sam and DHF board chair Drew McClellan to discuss the Maximal Data Argument for the Resurrection. This argument is an increasingly alternative to the “Minimal Facts Argument” championed by Dr. Gary Habermas and others. In the minimal facts argument, you demonstrate that the Resurrection happened by appealing to what is accepted to most scholars, but in Evan’s words in the Maximal Data Approach, “no piece of evidence is off the table.” The argument takes the time to establish the authors of the gospels and the gospels authenticity and goes from there.
Those who teach the Bible from the pulpit or in a small group, can sprinkle some of the evidence mentioned into their lessons or messages, and when sharing your faith, this information can answer sincere questions and encourage people to respond to truth.
