Hello and welcome to another joint broadcast of the two podcasts.

The Scriptures are Real and Cultural Hall.

Our gratitude to Richie Stedman for helping us and allowing us to be part of his podcast in this way is Dr. Andrew Skinner, who is with me.

And I help everyone celebrate the Holy Week.

And today we're celebrating Good Friday, one of the most significant things to celebrate in the

The time that the New Testament says that darkness covered the land as Jesus hung on the cross

and then ultimately expired or died on the cross at 3 p.m.
