Today, we sit down with Dr. Sean McDowell, professor, apologist, and author, to discuss all things Holy Week. We talk about the proof of the existence of Jesus but also refute the claim that Jesus wasn't crucified. We also talk about whether or not Christians should be celebrating Passover and other Jewish holidays as well as the ongoing debate over whether Easter is actually pagan in nature. Dr. McDowell also answers some apologetics questions for us and gives some advice on how to look for our own spiritual blind spots in our walks with God.
