“The Christ,” A Four-Part Audio Drama, Releases in Time for Easter

April 1, 2026

From Faith Podcast Network, THE CHRIST is now available for free wherever listeners get their podcasts, or TheChristPodcast.com. THE CHRIST is a four-part Easter audio epic from Faith Podcast Network that brings the gospel narrative vividly to life, from the humble manger to the victorious resurrection, through world-class voice talent, cinematic soundscapes, and stirring music.

“Faith Podcast Network believes that there is something powerful about hearing the story of Jesus during Holy Week, when hearts are already turned toward reflection,” said Karisa Rogers, Manager of the Faith Podcast Network. “We believe THE CHRIST will help people reconnect with the depth, emotion, and truth of the gospel in a new way through this audio experience.”
