Bible Study With ChrisJ.

Between the cross and the resurrection, there was silence. No angels. No miracles. Just a tomb… and waiting. But Holy Saturday reminds us that God is still working—even when we can’t see it. In this episode, we explore what it means to trust God in the in-between, to hold on when hope feels distant, and to believe that silence doesn’t mean absence. Heaven may be quiet—but it’s not empty.

The Cross Still Speaks: A Love That Paid It All (Good Friday Special)

Good Friday isn’t just a moment in history—it’s the moment that changed everything. In this powerful episode, we walk through the betrayal, the cross, and Jesus’ final words: “It is finished.”

But we don’t stop there—we reflect on what the cross means for us today: forgiveness, freedom, and a love that didn’t walk away.

Before the cross, Jesus made a choice—to stay, to surrender, and to love, even when it hurt. In this special episode, we walk through the events of Thundy Thursday: the table of betrayal, the garden of surrender, and the moment of arrest. Through it all, we see a love that didn’t run. A love that stood.

This is the kind of love that changes everything.

This isn’t a Bible study. This is my story.

After 25+ years of sobriety and walking with Christ, I’ve faced more dark days than I can count—survived multiple suicide attempts, battled depression, and wrestled with the feeling that something was missing. But through loss, grief, and a breaking point in 2025, God met me again.

This episode is raw, honest, and full of grace. If you’ve ever felt broken, questioned your faith, or wondered why you’re still here… this is for you.
