Just in time for Easter week we present the passion week of Jesus! Jon and Vinnie get deep into the historical Jesus and his last week before his crucifixion. Jesus in the passion week marched in to Jerusalem with the populace declaring him King, but he refused to be crowned. Learn the lesson of fig tree in the last week of Jesus's life. The fig tree, and the people, and the supper, all declare His truest passion for you!  Full Show Notes @ simplyvinnie.com/Passion Jonathan graciously agreed to join Vinnie as of Season 2 of Simply Devotion.

Last season I (Pastor Vinnie) focused on mostly stand-alone topics.I had occasional guests yet, I was the main presenter. This season we are changing things up. Our focus for this full season is the historical Jesus; including his culture, people, political situation, and geographical footprint. I am joined by Jonathan Martin who is my new co-host for the season! It is all about seeking Jesus on deeper theological levels.  Social Media Connections: Find us @  Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Blogs | TikTok Check out my blogs, articles, and spiritual growth material @ www.SimplyVinnie.com  All background music is used with permission from the following sources:  purple-planet.com  soundstripe.com Additional featuring music used by permission of Solidrocksda.com and Pastor Vinnie.  (c) 2020 – 2025
