Was Palm Sunday truly a celebration—or a calculated act of nonviolent resistance? In this special Holy Week kickoff episode, Charlie and Brian explore the radical historical and theological implications of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. Was it triumph or tragedy? A step toward divinity or a sacrifice to protect his followers? With deep dives into early Messianic expectations, first-century Judean politics, and a reflection on nonviolent protest, this episode invites you to see Holy Week through new eyes. Plus, a powerful prayer to Mary and an invitation to stand against empire—inspired by the Prince of Peace himself.
