The Power of the Cross: Holy Week, Passover, and the True Meaning of Easter
This isn’t just a holiday, it’s the foundation of our faith—and they’re not afraid to ask the tough questions.
The trio explores how the commercialization of the Easter season—chocolate bunnies, egg hunts, and sales galore—can overshadow the true meaning of the cross. Have we forgotten what this season is really about? Pastor Jeff brings clarity, pointing hearts back to the incredible sacrifice and miracle of the resurrection, urging believers not to let culture cheapen Christ’s victory over death.
Luke shares fascinating insights into the Hebrew roots of Christianity, explaining the connections between Passover, the Feast of First Fruits, and the death and resurrection of Jesus—known in Hebrew as Yeshua. He sheds light on how biblical feasts point directly to Jesus as the Messiah, and how the timing of His resurrection is not a coincidence but a fulfillment of ancient prophecy.
The conversation also takes a meaningful detour when the group discusses whether we should refer to Him as Jesus or Yeshua. Does the name matter? Does it affect how we understand His mission and purpose?
To lighten things up, they end with a fun little story they call the “Butterfly Effect at the Coffee Shop”—a reminder of how even the smallest interactions can have eternal impact when faith is involved.
Don’t miss this bold and faith-filled episode that blends biblical truth, historical context, and spiritual insight. Wing & A Prayer keeps it real, challenges believers to go deeper, and reminds us why the cross—and the empty tomb—still changes everything.
