The resurrection story is likely familiar.

And yet, there may be a few details you’ve missed.



That’s why I love talking with Russ Ramsey, author of The Passion of the King of Glory, he notices things differently than I do.

In this conversation, Russ helps us see and understand just how amazing the events are that led up to the cross and the resurrection. And why it was so beautiful when he entrusted Mary to share his resurrection with the disciples.

You do not want to miss this episode. You will likely see something new. And may never read the story the same again afterward.

NOTE: You can receive 30% off Russ’s entire Retelling the Story Series including the book we discuss on the podcast, The Passion of The King of Glory, at the following link until April 19, 2023 with the code MUCHMORE.

Some highlights from our conversation:
Have you ever wondered why Jesus could be tried and punished with capital punishment? Yes, we understand his death needed to happen at a cosmic level – but what was happening in Jesus’s world that made his actions punishable by death? Russ helps us understand the political and religious environment Jesus was in – and why he was such a threat to the establishment.
Russ encourages us to read Scripture with our imagination – and makes a compelling case for why it was always intended to be read this way.
Russ shares some details he saw and wondered about as he researched and wrote his book – like what kind of wine did Jesus really make?
Here’s another detail to consider: Jesus was anointed with an oil-based perfume a few days before his crucifixion, is it possible that he carried that scent with him to the cross?
We also talk about Mary showing up at the tomb when no one else does. And how Jesus reveals himself to her and sends her out to proclaim his resurrection to the others. We discuss why Jesus chose her, why it’s important, and what it means for the rest of us.
Finally, Russ gives us some pastoral encouragement as we enter Easter week. I’ll sum it up: The pain we endure in this life is not the end of the story… because of Jesus. (He says it better – so listen to the end for this!)
