What do you do when God feels silent? On Holy Saturday, we sit in the in-between — after the cross but before the resurrection. It’s a day of silence, grief, and waiting. But silence doesn’t mean absence.

In today’s Passion Week devotional, Mike Stone shares a powerful message about trusting God in the waiting. When the miracle hasn’t come yet, and hope seems buried, Silent Saturday reminds us that God is still at work — even in the tomb. If you're feeling stuck between prayer and breakthrough, this message is for you.

🙌 Just because God is silent doesn’t mean He’s not working.

🔔 Subscribe and join us tomorrow for Resurrection Sunday, the final and most triumphant episode in this Holy Week series.
