This week, Anna Beth and Chrissy discuss the meaning of Holy Week, walking through the events of Jesus’s last week of ministry and life on earth, leading up to his death and resurrection. As the Lent season comes to a close and preparation for the Easter season begins, they also reflect on the meaning of this journey to the cross for our lives today.
This week, Chrissy welcomes special guest, Rev. Dr. Chris George, Senior Pastor of Smoke Rise Baptist Church in Georgia to discuss the rules and laws found in the Bible. With so many rules (613 commandments in the Old Testament) and then the statement that Jesus makes about the greatest commandment in Matthew 22, many of us wonder what it means to take the Bible seriously in our modern world.
