In a Holy Saturday episode, co-hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith delve into themes of reflection, racial bias, and ethical integrity amidst hatred and violence during the time between the crucifixion and resurrection. They discuss the roles of figures like Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, along with other Jews who supported Jesus. The episode encourages understanding and combatting anti-Semitism, prompting listeners to use this waiting period for constructive engagement with cultures beyond their own.
