Episode Description

Dear Family,

What if your expectations for Jesus are too small?

This Sunday, we step into the tension of Palm Sunday—a crowd full of hope, waving branches, shouting “Hosanna!”… and yet missing the kind of King standing right in front of them. We all carry expectations—of God, of life, of each other—but what happens when Jesus refuses to meet them the way we imagined?

Join us as we explore how Jesus doesn’t just meet expectations—He overturns them.

Before you come, take a few minutes to read Matthew 21:8–11. Come ready to wrestle with this question: Which Jesus are you expecting—and which one is actually coming for you?
