Hey everyone, happy Easter. It is Easter Sunday, April the 5th, 2026 as I record this.

Late at night, I've had a very long day, had a lovely Easter with my husband and saw the little girls who live next door and wished

them a happy Easter and they brought eggs, which was so cute. I say all these nice things because

I'm going to talk about the Nancy Guthrie case, but there is an Easter connection. A couple things

you should know that I'm going to talk about. First of all, Savannah's probably having a really

tough time going to sleep tonight because it's her return to the Today Show in the morning. And if you know

the morning show schedule, it means you get up at three, if you're really late, 4 a.m. and you get into work

and you're on the air at 6 and, you know, girls' hair and makeup takes longer than the guy, so we usually have to get in earlier.

So I am thinking about her on the eve of her return.

It is going to be really hard to go live in front of millions of people when you are feeling

as emotionally brittle as she is at this time.

And maybe to ease into it, Savannah did something really interesting today.

She gave an Easter message, and she gave the message in the same venue that her mom attended religious services on Sundays ever since COVID.

You may not know about Good Shepherd.

It is a church in New York, and they

offer in-person services, but they also offer a digital service. And this is the service that Savannah

did her taped message. It's really interesting. I watch the service, and I don't typically do that. I'm not very religious anymore. I grew up as an Anglican. I was christened, baptized. I was confirmed in the church. I traveled all over the holy world, most special sites for Christians, Jews, and Muslims. And I have all my questions, and I have

sort of become more agnostic in my older age, but I'm fascinated by the history of religion

and the politics of religion. That aside. Savannah's Easter message, and as I watched,

this service was super interesting.

For starters, the service is all digital, so there are people who appear in an empty church,

and they deliver their readings, either reading off their phones or reading off a printed script or extemporaneous,
