In this episode of The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, host Guy R. Powell speaks with Jim Bertrand—renowned Shroud evangelist, researcher, and speaker. Together, they unpack key highlights from the 2025 Shroud Conference in St. Louis, where leading international scholars gathered to present new findings.

Jim shares the blessings of meeting experts, hearing powerful talks, and seeing fibers from the Shroud under microscopes. Among the most fascinating discoveries:

• Possible coins on the eyes indicated by metal alloy traces.
• Theories on the three hours of darkness explained by Sahara dust storms.
• Forensic blood evidence suggesting supernatural preservation.
• The Sudarium of Oviedo and new perspectives on its link to the Shroud.
• Microscopic evidence of neutron trails that may confirm the Resurrection event.

Bertrand explains how these findings connect science, history, and faith, offering believers and skeptics alike a deeper look into the mystery of the Shroud of Turin. He also reflects on the camaraderie among researchers, the role of the Shroud in evangelization, and the timeless truth that “the image on the Shroud is the natural consequence of a supernatural event.”

Don’t miss this conversation that bridges theology, research, and the enduring mystery of the Resurrection.
