Drawing deeply from Scripture, Brody unpacks stories of pain and redemption, and offers tools to help believers—both strong and struggling—navigate these hard truths. He shares the hope we find in Christ. Jesus not only understands injustice but also endured it.

In this episode, Brody and Rob dive into the fascinating mystery of the Shroud of Turin—a centuries-old cloth that many believe may have wrapped the body of Jesus after His crucifixion.
