It's Easter Saturday - the lesser talked about middle day of the Easter Weekend. And what's so special about Easter Saturday that nobody really talks about it?

Well, it's the day that God was silent.

Silence can be scary. But used well, it can heighten the power of the speech that follows or came before. 

The day of silence between the Friday where Christ was crucified and the Sunday that Christ rose again heightens the anticipation and power of the day he rose again, supposedly. And in the same way, we can use silence in our interviews to highlight and create anticipation for what our interviewee is going to say or has already said.

Don't run from silence. Use it in your interviews to increase the power of your questions and the answers of the people that you interview.
