65: Making Holy Week Holy
In this special Easter episode of Wordsmith, Pastor Clay Smith is joined by Pastor Mitch Verdell for a meaningful conversation centered on the events of Holy Week. Together, they walk through the timeline of Jesus’ final days—from His triumphal entry and the cleansing of the temple to the Last Supper, His time in the Garden of Gethsemane, and ultimately His trial before the high priest. Along the way, they reflect on the contrast between Jesus’ humility and humanity’s tendency toward self-focus, inviting listeners to examine their own hearts and consider what it looks like to truly follow Him.
Through Scripture and honest conversation, this episode highlights both the familiarity and the depth of the Easter story, encouraging listeners not to lose sight of its wonder. Pastor Clay and Pastor Mitch also share practical ways to set this week apart—through prayer, reflection, and intentional time in God’s Word—so that the significance of Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection doesn’t become routine, but remains deeply personal and transformative.
Dr. Clay Smith is the senior pastor of Johnson Ferry Baptist Church, located just north of Atlanta, GA. JF, as it is affectionately called, is a healthy, vibrant church committed to helping people find truth, belonging, and purpose in Jesus.
