EP: 435 The Jesus Discoveries with Jeremiah Johnston
6/16/20262 hr 16 min
Dr. Jeremiah Johnston does not just talk about evidence. He brings it. A first-century Roman crucifixion nail, six inches long, curved from being hammered into flesh again and again. The dice the soldiers cast for a dying man's clothes. Ancient coins. A cup pulled from the waters of Alexandria that calls Jesus a magician and predates the gospels. One by one, he sets them on the table, and one by one, the story of the cross stops feeling like a story. We examine how the Shroud of Turin is scientific proof of the resurrection. We stare at the face of the man of the shroud, 374 scourge marks, a side wound between the fifth and sixth rib, and an image science still cannot replicate. Jeremiah breaks down the 1898 negative photograph that started it all, the flawed carbon dating, the pollen grains that only bloom in springtime in Jerusalem, and the burst of energy it would take to scorch that image into the cloth.Jeremiah is a New Testament scholar, the number one New York Times bestselling author of The Jesus Discoveries, and a man who has carried this evidence to Tucker, Shawn Ryan, and the World Economic Forum at Davos. And he comes to Blurry Creatures because he embraces the same thing we do. The supernatural is real, and the modern church has a truncated view of it. We get into the cup that calls Jesus a magician, the graffiti that mocks the crucifixion, his own angel encounter on a New Jersey highway, and the one question that ends the skeptical argument.

You know, we've heard the stories, Luke. Glowing eyes in the forest, sure. You know, a portal opening up at the gas station, fine. But paying $300 for a sweater? No, we don't do that.
Luke Rodgers· Host0:12
No, we don't do that. And we don't wear sweaters in the summer either. But what are you wearing this summer? I think summer always changes how we get dressed and the things we gotta wear, and you gotta refresh that wardrobe. And that's why we keep coming back to Quince. They focus on high quality essentials that feel and look amazing. Breathable linen, soft organic cotton, well-made basics without the luxury markup. And right now, Quince has got a full summer line. European linen pants and shirts starting at just $34.
Nate Henry· Host0:36
That's right. They've got all kinds of things. Mongolian cashmere, washable silk, linen, leather bags, bedding, all the good stuff without the luxury markup.

Soft tees that are easy to wear and lightweight cotton sweaters that are perfect for cool summer nights. I found some amazing go-to T-shirts there. They just, they fit great, they wash great. Wore them all spring and summer. Also, amazing towels. The latest purchase I had there was the Turkish ultra plush bath towels. Everyone needs to upgrade their bath towel game. And everything at Quince is priced 50% to 80% less than similar brands. They work directly with ethical factories, cut out the middleman so you're paying for quality and not brand markup. And guess what? It goes way beyond clothes.
