Episode Details

Tuesday of Holy Week gets painfully honest about discouragement, betrayal, and the gap between who we think we are and who we really are. We sit with Judas and Peter at the same table and face the choice to run from mercy or run toward it. 
• discouragement in Isaiah as truthful spiritual experience rather than weakness 
• fruitfulness in God’s eyes as different from visible success and outcomes 
• God expanding a small mission into a universal one and wasting nothing 
• Jesus deeply troubled at the table and still offering intimacy to Judas 
• “and it was night” as a spiritual step into darkness 
• Peter’s sincere love paired with overconfidence and the promise of denial 
• the human heart holding both Judas and Peter tendencies 
• the practical call to small fidelity, humility, and staying present when it gets hard 
• the defining difference after failure: running from mercy or toward mercy 
Ask yourself Am I running towards mercy or am I running into the darkness?
