Can You “Know” Christ Lives?
What does it really mean to be a witness of the resurrected Jesus Christ?

If you’ve ever wondered whether spiritual experiences count as real evidence, or if you've longed for more confidence in your testimony of Christ, this episode is for you. Let’s explore how we can recognize the Savior in our own lives and become modern-day witnesses of Him.

Whether you're facing this yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers clarity, encouragement, and hope.
