“There is no current explanation as to how that image got there.” This week on Delay The Decay, we welcome back Brian Mavis—founder of America’s Kids Belong and author of Go Upstream—for a Holy Week conversation about the Shroud of Turin. We talk about what shroud is, the Shroud’s dimensions and history, and why it captivates people: it bears unexplained imagery and markings consistent with crucifixion and real blood, without paint or dye. He recounts decades of cynicism reinforced by the 1988 carbon-14 dating, then describes how later research—pollen claims, extensive study of conflicting sources, and an emotional moment reflecting on Jesus’ humiliation—shifted him toward believing it is Jesus’ authentic burial cloth. Brian also concerns about the carbon-dating protocol and data, notes key objections, connects the Shroud to Gospel burial-cloth details (especially John), and urges curiosity over judgment. 00:00 Welcome Back Brian 01:39 Health Habit Sauna 06:26 What Is The Shroud 10:35 From Cynic To Curious 17:52 Research Breakthrough Moment 20:57 Sharing With Friends 23:04 Why Christians’ Skepticism 26:55 Carbon Dating Questions 31:38 Raw Data Revealed 34:54 Bias and Motivation 37:22 Why Christians Care 40:27 Gospel Mirror Evidence 44:49 Shame of the Cross 47:05 Final thoughts and encouragement Thank you Brian Mavis for returning as a guest on Delay the Decay!

In the 30th episode of Delay the Decay, we shift from the usual guest format to a personal monologue about growth, gratitude, and living with “direction, not perfection.” We talk about my “wall of fame and shame,” my faith in God’s goodness and sovereignty, and thankfulness for 46 years of marriage, family, friendships, and 10…
