Some Dude on a Horse (John 12:12-19)
from Rebuilding Faith · host Jeremy Jernigan
What kind of king are we really hoping for? In this episode of Rebuilding Faith, we step into the tension of Palm Sunday — cheering crowds, shouts of Hosanna, and a Messiah who stubbornly refuses to ride a warhorse. As Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey, we uncover how deeply our ideas of power shape the faith we practice and the world we help create. From ancient expectations of military deliverance to our modern obsession with force and dominance, this story exposes an uncomfortable truth: the Jesus we celebrate is often not the Jesus we actually want.
