You Do Not Have to Pretend

from The Spirit Word · host Lawrence Kwame Anku

You Do Not Have to Pretend | John 11:35"Jesus wept." Two words, and one of the most powerful verses in Scripture. In this episode, Prophet AK Lawrence unpacks John 11:35, showing that Jesus wept at Lazarus's tomb even while already knowing He would raise him from the dead — proof that grief and faith are not opposites. You do not have to pretend to be okay just because you believe in resurrection. This episode gives permission to feel the weight of a painful season honestly, while pointing forward to the same Jesus who wept and then called forth new life — because your weeping is valid, and your resurrection is coming.
