A lot of people think they don't have faith because they don't think, oh, I don't think Jesus was really alive after he was dead, right?

Therefore, I don't have faith.

And I'm like, oh, my God, you definitely have faith in a million ways.

And it doesn't have to do with, do you think that this story is medically true, medically factual?

Is there resurrection in your life?

Do you have stories of feeling like something was dead and now it's alive?

That's a form of faith.

And so to say to people, well, the only way to have faith is to say that medically, you know, Jesus was dead and then three days later he was alive.

You know, it's like a way to drain all of the meaning and mystery and power out of what faith really is, is to say that's what it is.
