Today on the Shepnaz Podcast, Pastor Zack sits down with Pastor Rob Paugh to dig deeper into an Easter message that reminds us just how spectacular Jesus truly is.

From ancient prophecies written hundreds of years before His birth, to His authority over sickness, nature, and human hearts—Jesus lived a life unlike any other. This conversation explores how Jesus’ compassion, power, and intentional mission continue to transform lives today.Easter isn’t just something we celebrate once a year—it’s a reality we live in every single day because Jesus is alive.

Today on the Shepnaz Podcast, Pastor Zack continues Part 2 of Pastor Nick’s sermon, “Palm Branches and Blind Spots,” with a powerful Good Friday reflection.

On a day marked by both sorrow and hope, we slow down to remember how the road from Palm Sunday celebration leads directly to the cross. As Jesus enters Jerusalem, the crowds cheer—but Jesus weeps. Why? Because many failed to recognize who He truly was and what would bring them peace.In this episode, we’re invited to look through the lens of Jesus Himself—a Savior who sees clearly, loves deeply, and offers a peace that is not about control, politics, or power, but repentance, surrender, and new life.

As you listen, our prayer is simple:
“Jesus, help us see as You see.”📍
