Episode Details

Palm Sunday is one of the most recognized moments in the Bible… but it’s also one of the most misunderstood.

In this episode, we walk through what was actually happening when Jesus entered Jerusalem in Matthew 21. The crowd was shouting “Hosanna,” expecting immediate rescue. They recognized Jesus as King… but they misunderstood the kind of King He came to be.

And what Jesus does next might surprise you.

In Mark 11, He curses a fig tree and clears the temple. These weren’t random moments. They were intentional, prophetic actions revealing something deeper about spiritual fruit, outward appearance, and what God is really after.

This episode helps you understand:

• What the crowd expected on Palm Sunday… and why it mattered

• The meaning behind the fig tree and why Jesus responded the way He did

• How the temple connects to the fig tree

• Why your life can feel unfinished even when God is working

If you’ve ever felt like God has moved… but things still don’t look the way you expected, this episode will help you make sense of that tension.

Because just because something isn’t finished… doesn’t mean God isn’t working.

This is Day 1 of walking through Holy Week together.

• Matthew 21:1–11

• Mark 11:12–19

• Zechariah 9:9
