Share a commentHave you ever felt caught between doing the right thing and protecting your reputation? That’s the dilemma faced by Pilate and Herod as they judged Jesus, the most innocent person in history. In this episode, we uncover the political, social, and spiritual pressures that led these two leaders to compromise their values. Pilate declared Jesus innocent multiple times but caved under pressure. Herod mocked and dismissed Jesus, choosing curiosity over truth. If you’ve ever been tempted to prioritize safety or convenience over standing up for what’s right, this episode will help you see the lasting consequences of those decisions. Discover how the trials of Jesus reveal the powerful tension between truth, justice, and self-preservation—and how that same struggle plays out in our lives today.Stephen Davey's newest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardbackLearn more about twenty-five years of global impact, and reserve tickets to our gala. https://www.wisdomonline.org/mp/25 Learn more: https://www.wisdomonline.org/Support the show
