March 9, 2025·40 min·3 clips
Caiaphas prophesies that one man must die for the people, then plots to kill Jesus to protect his own power.

It delves into the role of the high priest, the symbolism of Yom Kippur's scapegoat, and challenges listeners to consent to reality by examining their own allegiances and areas needing spiritual growth during Lent.
