Ep50.2 Seven Last Words: ”Today, you will be with me...” with Laura Jean Truman

To celebrate 50 episodes of the Love Rinse Repeat podcast, Liam interviewed seven guests about Jesus' seven last words from the cross.

Here, Laura Jean Truman discusses Jesus' words to the man next to him on the cross, "today, you will be with me in paradise" and importantly the words of the two criminals preceding this promise. Repentance, solidarity, welcome, and a strange kind of presence are all concepts illuminated and provoked in this most powerful scene.
