Love Made Public: Finding God in Suffering // The Word Made Fresh: John 19

What if we didn’t skip straight to Easter?This week on The Word Made Fresh, Rev. Adriene Thorne and Rev. Jim Keat explore a surprising approach to Palm Sunday—one that turns toward the crucifixion instead of away from it. Drawing from John 19, this conversation invites us to slow down and sit with the hardest part of the story: suffering, grief, and the cross.In a world filled with pain, injustice, and uncertainty, this episode asks:Where is God in the midst of suffering?What does it mean for love to be “made public” on the cross?Why do we rush past Good Friday—and what happens when we don’t?Together, we reflect on how the crucifixion reveals a deeper, more powerful vision of grace—one that doesn’t ignore pain but meets us within it.If you’ve ever felt like faith focuses too much on the “happy ending,” this conversation offers a more honest and healing way through Holy Week.👉 Whether you’re preparing for Palm Sunday, Good Friday, or simply navigating your own “Good Friday moment,” this episode is for you.📖 Scripture: John 19:16b–22👍 Like, subscribe, and share if this resonates with you.
