In today’s episode of the Shepnaz Podcast, Pastor Rob leads a powerful exploration of the seven phrases Jesus spoke as He hung on Calvary.

These weren’t random words.
They were intentional, prophetic, sacrificial, and filled with hope.🔥 What you’ll hear in this episode:

• The timeline of the crucifixion from 9 AM to 3 PM
• Why darkness covered the land at noon
• How the Old Testament sacrificial system connects to Jesus’ final hours
• Why Jesus cried, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?”
• How Jesus became the once‑and‑for‑all sacrifice that removes sin, not just covers it
• The weight Jesus carried — physically, mentally, spiritually — as He bore our sin

Pastor Rob unpacks the deep spiritual significance behind these moments, helping us understand the incredible love and intentionality behind Christ’s sacrifice.
