S5 EP244 | Daniel Grace and a Modern Reimagining

of Judas and Pilate

​​

Hello My Happy People,

​

What happens when two of the most controversial figures in biblical history are given a second life in a modern retelling of their stories? That's at the heart of my conversation with author Daniel Grace, whose novel, In the Wake of Golgotha, reimagines Judas Iscariot and Pontius Pilate in the modern world.

​

Daniel joins me to talk about his remarkable journey from owning and international advertising agency (with clients that purchased Super Bowl commercials) to producing wine in the vineyards of Tuscany, and writing a dark literary thriller that challenges familiar narratives. We explore faith, betrayal, morality, and the surprising connections between religion and the modern justice system.

​

But there's more to Daniel's story than biblical mysteries! We also talk about storytelling across different industries, the challenges of marketing your own novel, and, of course, Italian wine. It's a conversation filled with unexpected connections and questions that might have you reconsidering stories you've known your entire life.
