Summary
Pastor Mark Turman was so encouraged by Dr. Denison's book about the Holy Spirit, titled Empowered, that he asked to record its 47 chapters as daily readings for his church.
When Dr. Denison heard about this, he suggested the great idea to release these recordings as bonus episodes of The Daily Article Podcast every day from Ash Wednesday to Easter.
We hope that you will likewise be encouraged by these short, insightful, and empowering podcast episodes.

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to a bonus episode of the Daily Article podcast, presented by the Denison Forum. |
| 0:09.6 | Empowered, Day 45. Good Friday. The Spirit empowers us. If you have been vaccinated against measles, mumps, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, chickenpox, meningitis, or pneumonia, you have Dr. Maurice Hilleman to think. |
| 0:29.6 | He served as chief of the Department of Virus Diseases at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and later as head of the virus and cell biology research |
| 0:40.3 | department of Merck and Company. Dr. Hilliman is credited with saving more lives than any other |
| 0:47.3 | scientists in the 20th century, and yet he is virtually unknown to the general public as he refused to name a vaccine or discovery after himself. |
| 1:00.0 | Now that you know Dr. Hilliman's remarkable career, are you grateful for his work? |
| 1:07.0 | Consider what Jesus did for you on Good Friday. He had already endured religious trials that were illegal in at least these ways. |
| 1:17.6 | He was arrested without a formal charge. He was given no opportunity to prepare a defense. |
| 1:23.6 | They began with a private examination, not the public trial required by law. The Sanhedron was not permitted to initiate charges, only consider them. The proceedings were conducted at night against the law. Witnesses could not be solicited once the trial began. |
| 1:46.8 | Witnesses could not be paid for their testimony. |
| 1:52.1 | The Sanhedron discovered that their witnesses were false, but did not punish them. |

| 2:01.5 | The witness was condemned only on the basis of his personal testimony. |
| 2:05.6 | No discussion of the blasphemy charge was permitted. |
| 2:10.9 | The Sanhedron had no authority to pronounce the sentence of death. |
| 2:18.3 | They changed the charge from blasphemy to insurrection once they stood before Pilate. Then Jesus was paraded to Pilate, to Herod and back to Pilate. |
| 2:24.3 | He was scourged, his scalp was lacerated with a crown of thorns, |
| 2:29.3 | and he was forced to carry his cross to Gogotha. |
| 2:33.3 | His wrists and feet were nailed to the cross, |
| 2:37.8 | where he died of blood loss, shock, and suffocation. All for you. You may know that Mel Gibson, |
| 2:46.9 | the director and producer of The Passion of the Christ, appears in the movie himself. |
| 2:53.6 | When Jesus' hand is stretched on the cross, a fist holds the spike which is driven into the Savior's flesh. |
