Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy

Sam Bradford won the Heisman Trophy at Oklahoma and was the #1 pick of the 2010 NFL draft.  Colt McCoy was the quarterback at Texas and won more games than other QB in NCAA Division I history.  They are second.

Laura Klock

Laura is a bike builder, racer, and world record holder.  If you walked by her on the street I doubt you'd guess that's what she does.  She was a heavy drinker before she gave her life to Jesus. 

I don't have to have all the strength, I can lean on God when I'm facing something that I just can't do.  I don't have to do it on my own.  I'm never alone.  I don't have to feel alone anymore.  He's always there.

Trevor Brazile

My Montana friends and family will know who Trevor Brazile is. He's an 8 time all around world champion cowboy.  I've seen him ride in person several times.  He is one of the all time great cowboys and he's not done yet.  He's a multiple world champion at the top of his profession and he's second.

Tamara Jolee

Tamara is a reporter.  She is dying of cancer.  She is at peace with her condition and she is second.

Bethany Hamilton

Bethany is the subject of the movie Soul Surfer.  She was attacked by a shark and lost her arm while surfing.  She later went on to win a surfing championship.  Bethany is second, are you?

Vitor Belfort

I'm a fan of MMA and watch the sport quite a bit.  Yes, it's violent, bloody, and people get injured.  So is football, boxing, rugby, hockey, and many other sports we watch.  I honestly don't know how God views this.

Vitor Belfort is an MMA fighter in the UFC who is a former light heavy weight champion and was the sports brightest star at19 years old.  He recently fought Anderson Silva for the UFC championship at 185 lbs and lost (who hasn't lost to Silva).  His personal story is heart wrenching with regards to what happened to his sister in Brazil.

No regrets.  You will love the ride.  It's amazing.

Giving evidence and debating about God is good but hearing someone's personal story of how Jesus met them in the middle of their darkest hour is very powerful. With this being Easter I thought I would post a few of these videos with people's personal stories of the life changing power of Jesus.

Easter and the Resurrection

The central tenant of Christianity is the resurrection.  If the resurrection didn't happen then Christianity is false and Christians believe a lie.  Because if Jesus didn't rise from the dead He was not the Son of God.  Given that all of the Christian faith hangs on Jesus rising from the dead is there any evidence to support it?  As it turns out there is and many people, including me, find it quite convincing.

There are many, many resources on the historical accuracy of the resurrection of Jesus.  Here is a summary entitled "Evidence for the Resurrection Of Christ in a Nutshell".

If Jesus died on the cross as payment for your sins and mine and He was resurrected 3 days later isn't it worth checking his claims out and what he says about how you get to heaven?  Let's all contemplate that as we celebrate Easter this year.
