In this episode of Next Step Leadership Podcast, Tracy Reynolds and Chris Maxwell continue their conversation with Pastor Lee Mason. In 2007, Lee and his wife Lisa began Classic City Church, a non-denominational church serving the city of Athens, GA. Lee talks about his book, Ten Historical Facts About Jesus: What Historians Are Certain of Concerning History’s Most Compelling Figure. His ten points are valuable for today’s leaders to know: 

• Jesus was a real historic figure.
• Jesus was known as a miracle worker in a manner unique to anyone else.
• Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem. 
• Jesus was buried in the tomb of Joseph in Arimathea. 
• Jesus’ tomb was found empty by a group of women.
• Numerous people claimed to have seen Jesus alive after His death. 
• Jewish monotheists began to worship Jesus as God.
• A resounding Messianic movement emerged after Jesus’ death.
• Gentiles renounced their pagan ancestry to worship Jesus.
• Today Jesus is the most significant figure in history.

Learn from these lessons. Understand the importance of Christ’s death and resurrection, and why we believe what we claim to believe. The historical figure of Jesus can lead through us as we make the next steps as His followers.
