As Easter approaches, our reflections turn toward one of the most powerful moments in human history—the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. In this Easter-themed interview, Pastor Matt Cason of Saint James United Methodist Church joins The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin to explore how the Shroud of Turin connects us to the reality of Christ’s death and resurrection.

Pastor Cason shares his personal journey to ministry, the influence of his family on his faith, and how the Lenten season has become a sacred time of preparation, reflection, and growth. He breaks down the Resurrection into three stages—preparation, remembrance, and celebration—bringing clarity to why Easter remains central to Christianity today.

One particularly moving insight from the conversation is how the Resurrection affirms God’s promise of eternal life. Pastor Cason emphasizes that without the Resurrection, Christianity loses its foundation. The Shroud of Turin, believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus, acts as a compelling artifact that further invites believers and skeptics alike to consider the truth of that miraculous day.

This is a message for people of all faiths, ages, and backgrounds. Whether you’re deep in your spiritual journey or just starting to explore the faith, this episode will offer insights that resonate this Easter season.
