#284: Easter and Jesus and Us - Perspectives From A Mix Of Faith Leaders

This episode comes out on GOOD FRIDAY, as we mark the death of Jesus, sacrificing himself on the Cross. And on Easter, we celebrate God's Son rising from the grave, conquering death as a Savior for our sin. I asked a diversity of faith leaders across Georgia (many in Columbus) and Alabama - who have been previous podcast guests over the 5+ years of "Run The Race" - to share about the significance and power of Easter...and how/why we celebrate what Jesus did for us. They have some fantastic insight that will inspire and tech you, heading into this holiday weekend.
