Real Seekers

Jack Markwardt returns to provide his detailed assessment of the pros and cons of the 13-14 historical hypotheses covering the period from 1201-1355 A.D.; this is the period known in Shroud studies as "The Missing Years".

Lydia McGrew joins me again to discuss some of her substantive problems with the Minimal and Moderate Facts Approaches in favour of using a Maximal Facts Approach. Lydia and I have some disagreements where we are not on the same page on every issue, yet we will always be on the same team serving Christ. As a bonus at the end, Harry Stark productions provides a brief clip of a Jewish Christian defending John Chrysostom against Jewish claims that he was a racist pig. The truth is the exact opposite!RSM Blog (with free scholarly sources) = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2026/01/08/maximal-vs-minimal-moderate-facts-approach-w-lydia-mcgrew-harry-stark-bonus-on-john-chrysostom/

Happy New Year Real Seekers! We have a jam packed January full of shows and special guests, but I just wanted to start the year off with a short video giving a Biblical response to the Rabyd Atheist who has taken it upon himself to rechristen me as "Rancor Seeker" in order to include me in his childish Star Wars inspired Atheistic fantasy world. While such juvenile jovialities are amusingly trivial to me, I felt providing a Scriptural response to such antics would be an appropriate and edifying way to kick off the year 2026 on Real Seekers by way of a response.After that short 5 min lesson in morality for Rabyd and his Atheist fans, we turn back to a special double feature of looking at art parodies in contemporary culture from Harry Stark- I confess I'm not sure what the relevant point is related to Christianity or apologetics, but maybe someone more familiar with the video games involved would have a better idea.RSM Blog = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2026/01/05/happy-new-year-rabyd-atheists-rancor-seeker-harry-stark-art-parodies-double-feature/

Fan of the Podcast, Mark B. from the UK, requested I bring on Pro-Shroud journalist, William West, who has written three books on the Shroud and has argued that the Shroud presents us with evidence that fit together like pieces of a puzzle; culminating in proving the miraculous Resurrection of Jesus!RSM Blog = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2025/12/19/the-shroud-puzzle-solved-w-william-west/
