The last day of the greatest man who ever lived
THE Last DAY OF THE Greatest MAN WHO Ever Lived
The events and insights of Passion Week peaked on Thursday and Friday. Warning: Major Spoilers Ahead: They are crucial, second only to Sunday's resurrection (hopefully this was not a true spoiler alert, but if it was and you want to know what this means for us, please email us at info@theboldmovement.com). Due to the dense schedule of these two days, we will provide the readings alongside our B.O.L.D. Method study guide and invite you to engage with the text. We will also provide links to articles and books that provide background on the events of those two days.
The B.O.L.D. Method
B - Begin with Prayer and the Bible.
Read the passage out loud.

D - Do something with what you've learned
