About this listen

Have you ever looked around at the state of things to try to make sense of it all — but couldn’t? Maybe you’re just looking through the wrong lenses! At the Clark Report podcast, we seek to look at the world through biblical lenses. Culture. Finances. Marriage & family. Relationships. We believe the timeless truths in the Bible speak clearly to these issues and more. We're John & Val Clark. We're not pastors or ministers -- just committed Christians who love the Lord and love telling others about Him. We'll post a new episode each Wednesday!John Clark Christianity Spirituality

  • The Resurrection of Jesus: What It Means for Your Life Today
    Apr 1 2026

    In this week's episode of The Clark Report, we sit down with Keith Garvin—award-winning TV newscaster and Christian speaker—to explore the life-changing implications of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    As millions reflect during Holy Week, this conversation goes beyond tradition and asks a deeply personal question: What does the resurrection mean for YOU?

    Drawing from his background in journalism and cultural apologetics, Keith examines the historical credibility of the resurrection, the reliability of the Bible, and why this event stands at the center of the Christian faith.

    In this episode, you’ll discover:

    -Why the resurrection is more than a story—it’s evidence

    -How the resurrection confirms Jesus’ identity as the Messiah

    -What Jesus meant when He asked, “Who do you say I am?”

    -Why the Bible can be trusted in a skeptical world-How the resurrection gives purpose, hope, and direction for your life today

    If the resurrection is true, it’s not just history—it’s a game-changer!

  • The Resurrection: Evidence That Changes Everything
    Mar 25 2026

    Did Jesus really rise from the dead? What evidence do we actually have? Is Easter just about bunnies, eggs, and candy?

    In this episode of The Clark Report, we explore one of the most important issues in Christianity: the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    Joined by theologian and apologist Dr. Ben Shaw, we unpack compelling historical evidence and explain why the Resurrection is far more than a blind leap of faith.

    You’ll discover the powerful “minimal facts” approach—a method used by scholars to examine the Resurrection using widely accepted historical data.

    From the empty tomb to eyewitness testimony and the dramatic transformation of the disciples, this conversation will strengthen your confidence in the truth of the Gospel.

    Whether you’re a lifelong believer, wrestling with doubt, or simply curious about the evidence for Christianity, get equipped and encouraged for Easter with this week's episode!
