Holy Saturday is the day in between.

Friday’s pain has already happened.

Sunday’s redemption is coming.

But today… it can still feel quiet.

In this Holy Week episode of Here’s the Lesson, Jon reflects on the meaning of Holy Saturday and what it teaches us about waiting, grief, unanswered prayers, and the sacred growth that can happen in seasons of silence.

Drawing from personal experience—including the devastating loss of his father to brain cancer—Jon shares how some of life’s most painful chapters can also become some of the most transformative.

This episode is for anyone walking through:

• grief and loss
• spiritual waiting
• marriage pain
• fractured family relationships
• unanswered prayers
• job loss or life transition
• seasons where heaven feels quiet

Holy Saturday reminds us that silence does not mean abandonment.

Just because nothing looks different yet does not mean nothing is happening.

Some of God’s holiest work happens where we cannot yet see it.

And if life still feels like Saturday right now, please hear this:

the story is not over. Sunday will come.

In the episode, Jon also references Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin’s powerful message, Sunday Will Come, and shares why that sermon has deeply shaped his faith and hope.

For so many people, these “Saturday seasons” are not just moments in Holy Week — they are chapters of real life.

The waiting after the loss.

The silence after the prayer.

The ache between what broke and what has not yet been rebuilt.

That is one of the deepest reasons Ashley and I wrote Leave Then Cleave.

We wrote it for people navigating grief, painful family relationships, betrayal, and the difficult work of healing while holding onto faith and hope for what God is still doing.
