Bigger than your biggest. Deeper than your darkest. Greater than your grandest. One week defines them all. You might describe what's happening in our world today as monumental. You would be right. Yet it's still not as world-defining or life-changing as what happened that one week in a small Roman province thousands of years ago. — with Chad Balthrop, Brad Aylor, Chris Wall and Keith E.
