Before we do this special episode on Mondi Thursday with Pastor Jeff McCullough, I just want to remind you of the opportunity to get the audio version of my book, the audio book of the Easter Connection, because it focuses on the events of Thursday and Friday.

And it seems to me like this would be a perfect day. You can get that today because it's

audio. You can download it, listen to it immediately. And it's very short. So you could listen to it

partially today, partially tomorrow or all of it either day. But in my mind, it's a perfect way to

really get yourself into the events of Thursday and Friday the most important events in the

history of the cosmos and I would love for you to do that it's a desertab book

com or desert bookshelf you can get that audio book and it's called the

Easter connection by me I hope it will add to your Easter worship and your

connection with Christ and your understanding of that and your

relationship with God. That's why I wrote it. I hope it does that for you. Happy Mondi Thursday.

Well, hello and welcome to our special Holy Week edition of The Scriptures Are Real.

I'm your host, Carrie Mealstein, and I'm so happy to have back with me, Pastor Jeff McCullough.

Thank you for being with us, Pastor.

Great to be here again. Thanks, Carrie.

So I won't do much of an introduction. We just did it a couple days ago. I'll refer everyone to Holy Monday.

If they haven't seen that yet, please go watch our episode on that. But Pastor Jeff is here in Utah as an evangelical pastor, also engaging in interfaith efforts, especially through his YouTube channel, Hello Saints, which I highly recommend to you and would encourage everyone to go watch.

So anything else you'd like to say about that, Jeff?

No, I think you covered it.

All right.

Well, we are glad for what you're doing as a whole and glad that you're here with us today. Thank you for that. I appreciate you having me for sure.

So today is Holy Thursday and that also called Mondi Thursday, right, from the commandments. And I'll let you talk about that if you'd like to.

But we'll also just preface it by saying that I think while traditionally members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have not done a lot to celebrate every day of Passion Week, I think even when people haven't celebrated it, Thursday's been on their mind. Because I think my sense is that among Christian communities, what everyone, the Gassimni is important for every Christian.
