Episode Synopsis

Another senseless, and now potentially dangerous, statement from Trump about the proposed "resurrection of America" on Easter prompts Pastor Andrew to tell us about the ways the word "resurrection" is used differently than it is in its meaning in the gospel. For one, there is a justice dimension to resurrection that is important to its Christian meaning, one that reconciles martyrdom with a larger understanding of a just god. And he offers us hope by encouraging us to strive toward justice as a way to celebrate the resurrection at Easter.
