In our 250th full episode we explore Jesus's declaration, “I am the resurrection and the life.” They consider the remarkable tenderness of the Lazarus story, its echoes of Ezekiel’s valley of dry bones, the intimacy of Jesus’ friendship with Mary, Martha and Lazarus, and why this miracle becomes both the clearest revelation of Christ’s identity and the decisive step towards the cross.

Last episode before a summer break: We're taking a break during the summer to rest and spend time with loved ones. Don't worry about us though, we will be back soon.
