435 Feet, Forgiveness, and Servant Leadership: Jesus at the Last Supper (John 13)
Description
Friday, January 31st: It’s Friday on The Daily Grind, which means John and Mariza are back for another deep dive—this time into John 13! This chapter marks the beginning of Jesus' final hours, opening with the stunning scene of Jesus washing His disciples' feet. Why would the King of Kings take on the role of the lowest servant? John and Mariza explore the radical humility of Jesus, the cultural significance of foot washing, and what it means to truly love and serve others. They also dig into the weighty moments of this chapter: Jesus' awareness of His impending betrayal, Peter’s bold (but ultimately shaky) loyalty, and the introduction of a new commandment—to love one another as Jesus has loved us. Along the way, John reflects on his own season of transition, and Mariza shares her personal wrestling with faith and what this chapter reveals about Jesus’ unconditional love. Whether you’re a lifelong believer or still figuring out where you stand, this episode will challenge you to consider what real servant leadership looks like and how Jesus' example invites us into a deeper, humbler way of living.
