Time seems to slow to a crawl when we find ourselves waiting for something ... even when we know it will come. Again, we imagine what it would have been like for those whose hopes had seemingly been crushed by the crucifixion of the one in whom they’d placed all their hopes. They didn’t know. We wait because we know... they were lost. They didn’t understand, so they didn’t know there was anything for which to wait. Don’t take the waiting for granted, use it as another opportunity to prepare for what happens when the stone is rolled away.

Everything in his life and ministry brought him to this day... and the opposition thought they had won. But we know the story doesn’t end here, and we can call it Good Friday. Unfortunately, for those who were present on that day, there was little good about that day. Join hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith for a reading of the Good Friday story from the Gospel according to John and a blessing. Then, let us wait together.

It’s the night before the Passover... the last night that Jesus will have with the disciples ... to be their leader and to give them advise ... and instead of a lecture, he takes off his outer robe, kneels in front of them and washes their feet. It makes you wonder if what you value in a leader or strive for in your own leadership qualities is what Jesus had in mind. Join hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith, as they help us think more deeply about what we value in ourselves and in others.
