Blasters from today’s Core Skills class. The students were a couple guys from their church’s security team. This was the first serious shooting class for five of the six guys and the hardest they ran their guns to date. The Crimson Trace dot gave up toward the end of class, and one of the Holosun battery trays popped out (we found the tray but not the screw). Put purple Loctite on the screw if you use a Holosun. The pistols all ran well.
Historians, scholars, archalogists— both Chrisitian and secular— acknowledge the historical reliability of the resurrection. Here are some authors that I recommend if you want to keep learning:
Lee Strobel
William Lane Craig
C.S. Lewis
Chuck Missler
John Lennox
HE IS RISEN!
5. No Better Explanation – Theories like stolen body or hallucination don’t explain all the data such as the empty tomb, group appearances, and radical life changes. The resurrection is the only comprehensive explanation. [Romans 10:9]
4. Rapid Growth in Jerusalem – Christianity exploded where Jesus was crucified. The resurrection became the early Christian church’s message, different from any other movement. It spread quickly due to Jerusalem’s strategic location at the intersection of trade routes. [Acts 6:7]
3. Transformed Disciples – The disciples went from hiding to boldly proclaiming the resurrection, even in the face of persecution, torture, and death. It’s highly unlikely they would suffer and die for something they knew was a lie. [Acts 4:19-20]
2. Eyewitnesses – Over 500 people claimed to see Jesus alive after his death, verifying the resurrection. He also appeared to skeptics like James and Paul (a former persecuter), who converted immediately. [1 Corinthians 15:3-6]
1. The Empty Tomb – Multiple sources report the tomb was found empty and was discovered by women—an unlikely detail if fabricated, since women’s testimony held little weight at the time.
No sources denied the empty tomb; they just tried to explain it. [Luke 24:1-3]
Reminder: The resurrection of Jesus is a historical event with substantial evidence supporting its authenticity. What better way to spend Easter than to dive into all of the evidence pointing to its truth!! Here is a thread to summarize…
It’s a given that your forearms should be smoked from gripping the gun hard at the end of a dry-fire session. This can take all of fifteen minutes if you’re new to serious training. It’s a good sign and means you’re gripping the gun in dry fire like you would in live fire.
Your eye muscles should also feel tired from moving them rapidly and precisely between spots on the target. This one takes more mental effort to achieve because it’s not something you do in many activities outside practical shooting.
You should feel like you’re trying to burn holes in the center of the A-zones with your vision.
We travelled all the way to Grand Rapids, Michigan for Gentle Response’s church safety & security team de-escalation course.
Instructor development at its finest, always learning! Thanks for inviting me!
