Can archaeology help strengthen our confidence in the Bible? What do ancient inscriptions, artifacts, manuscripts, and historical discoveries reveal about Jesus and the reliability of the Christian faith?
In Part 2 of this conversation on Upside-Down Parenting, Matt Jones and Janel Greig continue their discussion with New Testament scholar and apologist Dr. Jeremiah Johnston, author of The Jesus Discoveries: 10 Historic Finds That Bring Us Face-to-Face with Jesus. Building on Part 1, they explore additional discoveries from biblical archaeology and discuss why historical evidence continues to matter for a generation searching for truth, authenticity, and reasons to believe.
As Gen Z and Gen Alpha wrestle with questions about Christianity, history, and the trustworthiness of Scripture, this conversation equips parents and faith leaders to engage those questions with confidence, humility, and compelling evidence.
In these episodes, we discuss:
- Major discoveries in biblical archaeology that illuminate the world of Jesus
- How archaeology supports the historical reliability of the New Testament
- What ancient manuscripts reveal about the preservation of Scripture
- Why evidence matters for younger generations exploring faith
- How to navigate doubts and difficult questions about Christianity
- The relationship between faith, history, and reason
- Practical ways parents can help their children develop a confident Christian worldview
Whether you’re a parent, pastor, student, or someone exploring the evidence for Christianity, this episode will encourage you to see that the Christian faith is grounded not only in personal experience, but also in history that can be investigated and explored.
