How cool would it be to see the house where Jesus grew up! It’s not certain, but archaeologists have excavated a courtyard house in Nazareth which may be the one. [Read more…]

Logical Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus
It was a great morning at our “Explore the Evidence” Community Breakfast at Wayzata Country Club, Saturday, February 25. We enjoyed great food, robust table top interaction, and tremendous insight from Dr. Michael Wise on the logical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus.
We discovered in the context of ancient sources and the culture at the time, the resurrection of Jesus is the greatest historical event of all time. The effect of this story on Jews and Gentiles of the middle east impacted over 30 million people in a relatively short period of time; no other movement in history has had such rapid, widespread growth or impact. The reality of positive life change in so many people actually influenced the Roman empire to make Christianity the official religion. Its positive effect in society was impossible to ignore. This event also influenced and gave rise the science movement of the 16th century.
Why am I so passionate about this topic? To me, this is the “Good News” for all mankind as it pertains to getting right with God. When the evidence is so persuasive and the alternative arguments so farfetched, one can finally conclude the truth and be persuaded to embrace Jesus and trust Him with your life.
May this Easter season (and the historical evidence for it) bring you close to the Savior, Jesus.
His Best,
Joe Komarek

Understanding the Times: 2016 Benefit
We had a blast at our 2016 Friends of FaithSearch Benefit Dinner and Silent Auction at New Hope Church, on April 29. We are grateful that 185 friends took the time to join us for good food, good laughs, and good ministry reports of changed lives. The theme of the evening was “Understanding the Times.”
Based on 1 Chronicles 12:32, the theme refers to the sons of Issachar, who “understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do.” Applied to FaithSearch, the ministry provides answers to the relevant questions of our times, as we “proclaim the Gospel with evidence to all peoples everywhere.” As we understand the times, we adapt the methods of our outreach to better reach a world without answers.
America Reshaped: the Good, Bad, and Ugly of Political Correctness
Seventy-seven people joined us for our “Explore the Evidence” Community Breakfast on March 19 at the Wayzata Country Club. We investigated the political correctness movement (Bias-Free Language) through the topic “America Reshaped: The Good, Bad, and Ugly of Political Correctness.” It was especially challenging for everyone to make it safely to the breakfast following the surprise morning snow storm!
Executive director Joe Komarek intentionally made himself a scapegoat by using several “politically incorrect” terms during his opening remarks, and allowed the audience to take him to task for his numerous faux pas. It was all in good fun, and they were very gracious toward Joe in their corrections. For the purpose of illustration, Joe employed outdated terminology, including:
