63: What Is Truth?

At the beginning of the week, the crowd was chanting Jesus' name.. They were singing 'Hosanna' as he entered Jerusalem triumphantly. But now, at the end of the week, they are chanting the name of Barabbas. He is the one they want, and they demand that Jesus be crucified.

What happened in one week? How in the world do you go from chanting 'Jesus' to chanting 'Barabbas' in just a few days?

62: The Pit

It was that final terrible night before the cross. Jesus has been agonizing in prayer at Gethsemane. Betrayed by one of his own, he is taken for a fake trial and beaten. The evening ends with outright denial by his closest friend. But what happens next is something you've probably never thought about.

61: Minds Made Up

At Jesus' fake trial before Caiaphas, the high priest and the Sanhedrin, Jesus remains completely silent. That is, until he is asked a very different kind of question. The answer that Jesus gives is totally incriminating. Does Jesus have to answer that way? What if he had answered differently? How might things have worked out?

Where Do We Go From Here?

This week, Charlie Kirk was assassinated in Utah. We are reeling, grieving, in shock. 

In this episode, we reflect on the life of Charlie Kirk, and we look at where God wants us to go from here.

60: Betrayal In The Place Of Prayer

Jesus' closest disciples failed him. They couldn't stay awake and watch. One of his own betrayed him with a kiss. All of them ran when things got tough. What happens to a disciple that fails Jesus?

59: Gethsemane

Why does Jesus sweat blood? Why couldn't the disciples stay awake with Jesus in the garden? What really happened in the Garden of Gethsemane?

58: Last Supper

We celebrate communion together frequently. But, as we discover what Jesus and his disciples were doing around that table, it becomes very clear that there is so much more going on here than what meets the eye. Jeff Parker unpacks this last supper for us.

57: Follower to Traitor

Do you think Judas began following Jesus with a plan to ultimately betray him? How did he go from follower of Christ, to traitor against Christ? What did that journey look like, and how can I tell if I am taking the same terrible Judas steps in my life?

56: Anointed Sandwich

Everyone had become extremely polarized, and people began to chose sides. Two followers of Jesus made their choice. One was good, and one was really, really bad.
