Episode 40: The Prayer That Changes Everything, Part 1

Before Jesus went to the cross, He prayed. Not for miracles. Not for rescue. He prayed for us — for our protection, our unity, and our oneness with the Father. In this first episode of a powerful three-part series, Erin sits down with Caleb Hyers, Senior leader of The Resting Place Church, to open up John 17 and ask the questions we don't slow down enough to ask. What does it mean that Jesus prayed for our protection before He prayed for our unity? And what does true, lasting unity actually look like in the body of Christ? Together, Erin and Caleb explore the illumination of oneness and the unity of the Spirit — and why Jesus' prayer in John 17 is nothing less than a blueprint for how the Church was always meant to move together. They unpack why protection comes before oneness and the difference between growth and fruit — because not everything that grows is healthy. For Jesus, the fruit of unity had a very specific look: "That the world will know that you sent me."
