A beloved pastor and a New York Times bestselling author examine scripture and share inspiring personal stories to help show the important role that Jesus’ resurrection plays in our everyday lives.
The Son of God was crucified, died and buried, and He lay in the tomb for three days—until He walked out shining like the sun. In a culture in which history is erased or rewritten at will, the existence of an empty tomb matters. Why?
Because if the tomb is empty—then anything is possible.
In his first book, Joby Martin, Lead Pastor of the Church of Eleven22, dives deep into scripture and traces the story of salvation by highlighting the seven mountains throughout scripture where God manifests himself. As he describes each encounter with God, Martin shows us how the interaction on each mountain laid the groundwork for the sacrifice of Christ on Calvary, and shows what God revealed about Himself in the process. He illuminates seven familiar passages, unveiling how God’s plan for Christ’s sacrifice is threaded throughout scripture, and shows why Christ’s resurrection—impossible, unbelievable—means that nothing is too hard for our God. Ultimately, he asks listeners, Do you live every day of your life as if the tomb is empty—or as though Jesus is still hanging on that cross?
Written with New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin, If the Tomb is Empty is an insightful and spiritually rich examination of what the miracle of Christ’s resurrection means for all of us.

I asked a.i. “write a funny story about how Christian music artist Crowder defeated king kong using his taco truck with food named after his songs” and this is what it came up with..
It was an ordinary day in the bustling streets of Los Angeles when the city’s skyline was suddenly eclipsed by a massive figure—King Kong had arrived! Panic erupted as the giant ape roared and started to climb the tallest buildings. People screamed and fled, seeking shelter from the colossal menace.
Meanwhile, David Crowder, the beloved Christian music artist, was setting up his taco truck, “Crowder’s Grub & Glory,” at the local park. His taco truck was famous for its delicious food, each item cleverly named after his hit songs. As he prepared for the lunch rush, he couldn’t help but notice the commotion.
Curiosity piqued, Crowder peeked out from his truck and saw the behemoth towering over the city. An idea struck him like a divine inspiration. He grabbed his bullhorn and shouted, “Everyone! Step right up to ‘Crowder’s Grub & Glory’ for the best tacos in town! They’ll make you forget all your worries—even giant apes!”
People hesitated, torn between terror and tantalizing tacos. Soon, the aroma of Crowder’s creations wafted through the air, calming the frantic crowd. As people began to gather around his truck, Crowder hatched his plan. He knew that to defeat King Kong, he needed to use his secret weapon: his irresistible menu.
First up was the “Come As You Are Carne Asada”—a taco so good, it could bring peace to the most troubled soul. Crowder loaded up a dozen and set them on a catapult he’d built for fun (who knew it’d come in handy?). He aimed and fired, launching the tacos directly into King Kong’s open mouth.
The giant ape paused, chewing thoughtfully. His furrowed brow softened as he savored the flavors. But Crowder knew he needed more to distract and ultimately defeat Kong.
Next, Crowder prepared the “Run Devil Run Delights”—spicy tacos with a heavenly kick. He sent these flying on a drone he’d rigged up, directly into the hands of the perplexed primate. King Kong munched on, his eyes widening with delight.
For the grand finale, Crowder unveiled his masterpiece: the “Good God Almighty Guac Smash” —a taco with the creamiest, dreamiest guacamole ever created. Crowder sent a signal, and a squadron of drones lifted a massive taco, flying it towards King Kong.
The ape reached out, eyes gleaming with anticipation. As he took a gigantic bite, the combination of flavors was so overwhelming that he sat down, utterly transfixed. He was no longer the terrifying titan; he was just a giant gorilla enjoying the best meal of his life.
The city watched in awe as Crowder, with his taco truck and heavenly cuisine, tamed the beast. King Kong was soon docile, content to lounge by Crowder’s truck, occasionally receiving another taco as a treat.
The mayor declared it a citywide holiday, “Crowder’s Taco Triumph Day,” to commemorate the day when music, faith, and fantastic food saved Los Angeles from King Kong. And Crowder? He became a legend, not just for his music, but for his heroic tacos that saved the day.

For Immediate Release (Westlake Village, CA) — Islamist leaders of the Sunni Islamist group, HTS, have been promoting a narrative of tolerance for minorities in Syria since taking control of Aleppo. They are assuring civilians that they will “remain shielded from any targeting or threats based on sectarian or ethnic affiliation.” Christian Solidarity International’s (CSI) contacts in Aleppo confirm that, so far, Christians and religious minorities have been treated well by HTS and its allies. But HTS’ ideology and history give religious minorities in Aleppo serious reason to doubt these promises.
HTS and its predecessors have been fighting in Syria for 13 years; in Syria’s Idlib province, they have been in power since 2015. The Alawites, Druzes, and Christians comprise the three primary religious minorities under threat in Syria. Both Alawites and Druzes are Muslim minority sects that the jihadists consider heretical. Both groups have also relied on the Syrian government for protection from jihadist attacks, and the Alawites historically supported Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, also an Alawite, thus adding to the political tension with HTS.
Christians are not seen as heretics but rather a subjugated and protected class in HTS ideology. In practice, however, HTS has often targeted Christians throughout Syria in violent attacks and kidnappings, repeatedly killing Christian civilians and confiscating their property. Since 2012, the vast majority of Christians who lived in Aleppo or Idlib during the periods under the jihadists’ authority have fled.
Before Syria’s civil war began, Aleppo was one of Syria’s most Christian cities. Out of a prewar population of around 2 million, around 200,000 were Christians. Today, only about 20,000 Christians live in Aleppo. Many of those who left fled in the years 2012-2016, when al-Nusra and other jihadist groups occupied eastern Aleppo, driving Christians out of their homes and bombarding Christian neighborhoods in western Aleppo with rocket attacks. Only after the government reconquered eastern Aleppo in 2016 were Christians able to live in the city in safety.
HTS and its allies have also attacked Christians in other places in Syria. Throughout the civil war, Christians have been targeted with kidnappings, car bomb attacks on churches and Christian neighborhoods, and even worse violence. In September 2013, al-Nusra fighters overran the Christian holy city of Ma’alua in the mountains north of Damascus, kidnapping nuns and driving out the Christian population. When al-Nusra fighters and their allies occupied the Christian town of Sadad in October 2013, they killed at least 41 Christian civilians and used others as human shields.
Unsurprisingly, when al-Nusra and its allies conquered Idlib province in 2015, nearly the entire Christian population of 10,000 fled. Others were killed or kidnapped, and their property confiscated. Only 300 Christians remain in Idlib today.
But since 2015, church leaders in the province have established a working relationship with HTS and its leaders. In recent years, al-Jolani has begun to regularly visit Christian villages in Idlib to reassure them. The Christians who have remained in Idlib have received some, but not all, of their confiscated property back.
In the Salafist worldview that animates HTS, Christians are not heretics to be destroyed (like the Alawites and the Druzes), but “people of the Book” – followers of religions that were revealed before the coming of the prophet Muhammad. In lands ruled by Islam, they should be made “dhimmis” – a protected people who are kept in legal subjugation and pay an additional tax called the jizya.
Until now, HTS has avoided imposing dhimmi status on Christians in Idlib by referring to them as musta’min, or temporary residents. A key test is now approaching: HTS forces are bearing down on the Greek Orthodox town of Muharda. Throughout the war, the residents of Muharda have resisted rebel attacks on their town.
On December 5, al-Jolani issued a message to the residents of Muharda, telling them that, “we have treated the sons of the Christian religion well in Idlib and Aleppo, and in the same way we will protect you and your property.”
Given the history of Syria’s civil war – and the reality of what Christians in Idlib and Aleppo experienced at HTS’ hands – this promise is unlikely to be believed. And a violent encounter between HTS and Muharda’s Christian defenders could clear the way for more attacks on Christians, rooted in jihadist ideology.
With this new offensive, the jihadists of HTS have conquered a large swath of territory home to tens of thousands of religious minorities. They are poised to advance farther, into lands home to numerous Alawites, Christians, and other religious minorities.
In Aleppo today, CSI’s sources say an uneasy calm reigns. Even in the reprieve from the bombing, as people who had been sheltering indoors begin to emerge from hiding, Christians are living with uncertainty day to day, hour to hour, in great need of prayer.
