Should We Celebrate Easter? Or Remember the Cross?

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode, Bill and Dave dive into the traditions of Easter and challenge listeners to focus not just on the Resurrection, but more importantly on Christ's crucifixion. They explore the biblical basis for remembering Jesus' death, question the timing of the traditional Good Friday, and share why the early church emphasized the cross more than the holiday. Plus, a surprising truth about weeds and spiritual soil!
