Today is Good Friday. In this 10-minute podcast, Tom Mohr reflects on the grace of Jesus– shared in word and song (“Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?”). On the cross, Jesus Christ atoned for the sins of all humanity, across all time. Jesus' grace frees us to move past our sins and beyond ourselves-- so that we can become His hands and feet in the world. Jesus descended to the margins to heal the lost and the broken. In His grace, are we not called to do the same?
Song Title:
Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?
Song Summary:
This classic Black Spiritual brings home the anguish of Jesus’ death on the Cross– and, three days later, the exquisite joy of seeing the empty tomb. Robert Berry joins Mohr in instrumentals. Kelly Kadlec joins Tom Mohr in harmony.
Tom Mohr is the author of the book "Letters to Rising Leaders". In his new podcast series, he builds on the themes in his book to explore leadership-- especially the connection between Christian faith and action.
He has created this podcast series for one reason: you are the light of the world. From community to church to charity to nation to planet, God needs a new generation of leaders to rise. Not just any leaders-- leaders of goodness. And goodness doesn't just happen. It takes soul work. Which is why, to our next generation of leaders, Tom Mohr says this: "Come to God, make right your soul, and then go into this hurting world to serve."
Each 10 minute podcast will include stories, biblical reflections and music-- yes, music. Every week, the podcast will end with the song of the week.
