    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Feb 25, 2023
     | 2,070 views

     | 1,159 views

     | 1,099 views

    Easter is unsettling. That’s our thesis for this series. No, wait, that’s a given. That’s a foundational statement. The thesis is because Easter is unsettling for the world, we need to be witnesses to the Easter event.

    Stony The Road We Trod:

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Apr 13, 2022
     | 1,799 views

If we lean toward the Palm Sunday experience and emphasize the exuberance of the triumphal entry into ...read more
