When The English Fall
“When The English Fall tells a bittersweet tale of community and commitment that plunges fearlessly into hard questions about the end of the world.”
—Lorehaven on May 20, 2022

Clawing Free
“Clawing Free is an absorbing tale that seamlessly joins modernity and myth.”
—Lorehaven on May 13, 2022

Vivid
“Ashley Bustamante’s Vivid paints a world built on secrets and carefully controlled color palettes.”
—Lorehaven on May 6, 2022

Prophet
“If great fiction dares explore culture wars, it must show more than perfect people smiling before a flat backdrop. Frank E. Peretti’s 1992 novel Prophet reflects this reality.”
—Lorehaven on May 4, 2022

108: How Does Christ’s Resurrection Change Our Old Lives Forever? | with Tim Chaffey

He is risen! Christians celebrate the truth of Christ’s victory over death, yet often miss the implications for our own promised resurrection.

Resurrection Sunday has returned, and sometimes Christians can’t help but miss the wonder that Christ has literally conquered death and raised himself to eternal life, and that He has promised to do the same for everyone who trusts exclusively in Him. In this episode we will explore this most fantastical of all truths with returning guest star Tim Chaffey, content director for Answers in Genesis and founder of Risen Ministries.

Tim Chaffey

Reintroducing Tim Chaffey

Tim Chaffey is the content manager for the Attractions Division of Answers in Genesis. An apologist with a passion for training young people, he speaks regularly at the Creation Museum, camps, schools, and churches, and has authored numerous nonfiction and fiction books, including The Remnant Trilogy and The Truth Chronicles. Follow his website, Risen Ministries, and his Facebook author page.

Concession stand

  • We will mention Ark Encounter, yet focus not on creation, but resurrection!
  • Of course we’ll talk a little apologetics, yet mostly delight in this miracle.
  • Christians can differ on creation/resurrection views, yet still be Christian.
  • However, viewing these issues more biblically really helps deepen your joy.
  • These themes also help us better see our need for God-exalting imagination.
  • Answers in Genesis takes no official position on biblical end-times beliefs.
  • But either way, we’re focusing on resurrection after whatever end-times events.

Tower of Babel attraction updates?

  • See “The Tower of Babel Reproduction Is Coming to the Ark Encounter,” AnswersInGenesis.org, March 9, 2022
  • Recently social psychologist Jonathan Haidt compared the tower of Babel “story” to corruption by social media.
  • In his The Atlantic article, he likens the story to a myth, but comes very close to seeing human idolatry of technology.

1. How does the Bible describe Jesus rising from the dead?

2. Why do people often miss the reality of Christ’s resurrection?

3. How can we apply Christ’s resurrection promises to our reality?

Next on Fantastical Truth

If your church has a bookstore or lending library, you’ll probably find lots of nonfiction in there, such as Christian living resources, Bible studies, and discipleship material. But we know people also get their discipleship training through stories and songs. Almost every church has the songs covered, with singing in worship and maybe a whole ministry team devoted to music. But should church bookstores and libraries offer more fiction? We might even ask: should churches have “story pastors” to help disciple others through story, just like the “music minister” does this through music? In our next episode we will speculate, with some different perspectives, how and what this could look like.
