S2_EP17 - Were You There? (Good Friday Special)

The Bright Forever

Send us a text

As we gather in solemn reflection this Good Friday, The Bright Forever is here to guide you through the significance of this pivotal moment in the Christian faith. Come along with us, and our host, Andy Peavyhouse, as we uncover the paradoxical understanding of the term 'Good Friday' and the radical teachings of Jesus that exemplify an upside-down kingdom—a Kingdom where the last are made first, and the meek inherit the earth. Embrace the historical and emotional journey encapsulated in the haunting hymn "Were You There," as we invite you to become an active participant in the story of redemption that changes lives and shapes eternities.

Feel the tremors of despair and the echoes of hope that have reverberated through history with each verse of this powerful spiritual song. Walk side by side with the disciples in their darkest hour, grappling with the weight of sin and the longing for salvation, only to discover the dawning of a new life marked by the resurrection of Christ. This episode promises not just an exploration of the past but a transformative experience that deepens your connection to the events that altered the course of humanity, culminating in Christ's victory over death and sin, setting the stage for the celebration of Easter. Join us for an episode that transcends mere storytelling, offering a profound reflection on servant leadership, sacrifice, and the unwavering promise of redemption through Christ's love.
