The tour will support NEEDTOBREATHE’S ninth studio album Caves, set to release this fall. "Caves is the most ambitious album we’ve made so far, and it really feels like a new chapter for us as a band,” said NEEDTOBREATHE front-man Bear Rinehart. “We can’t wait to take this new energy to our fans on the road and perform these songs live. It’s going to be special." Presented by Live Nation; the San Diego Symphony does not appear on this rental event. Stay Connected on Social Media! Facebook | Instagram | X

Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judaea from 26-37 CE, is an unlikely movie star. Yet because of his role in the Passion narrative, he has appeared in dozens of films and TV programs. In these productions, in which Jesus stands for eternal values, Pilate represents the morals of the modern day. In this talk, we will look at representations of Pilate from Cecil B.

What has Pilate meant for audiences in different periods? What does he mean to us today? What is truth?
