Episode 121 (John 18)

In John 18, a crowd of armed soldiers enters a garden to arrest Jesus—but with just two words, “I am,” they fall to the ground. In this episode of Rooted, we explore the authority of Jesus, the failure of Peter, and the unshakable faithfulness of Christ. Peter swings between boldness and fear, reminding us how easy it is to rely on ourselves one moment and shrink back the next. Yet even knowing Peter would fail, Jesus still chose the cross. This episode is a powerful reminder that the gospel isn’t about our consistency, but about His sacrifice. When we fall short, Jesus remains faithful—and because He stood in our place, we are free to stand in His grace.
