Why Did Jesus Really Have To Die?

September 15, 2025

It's Season 5 of the Theology Threads podcast with Dr. Brian Jenkins! In this first episode, Dr. Brian wrestles with the question "Did Jesus Really Have To Die?" People have been asking this question since His death nearly 2000 years ago. This season is all about the Atonement: the purpose of it, how to talk about it, and how it impacts our lives everyday. This will be a life-changing study you don't want to miss!
