March 29, 2026. In this episode, discover the profound symbolism behind Jesus’ triumphant entrance into Jerusalem—and how our reactions mirror the crowd’s shifting from praise to rejection. You'll learn how often we celebrate Jesus for what we want Him to do, instead of truly surrendering to who He is, and how missed expectations can lead us from worship to rejection.

We break down the powerful contrast between palms up in celebration and thumbs down in rejection, exploring how personal expectations shape our relationship with Jesus today. You'll explore the deep emotional heart of Jesus weeping over Jerusalem’s missed visitation and how ignoring His true mission can result in spiritual destruction. Perfect for anyone curious about authentic faith, this episode encourages reflection on whether our praise aligns with truth, and challenges us to hold our hands—and hearts—up in genuine worship rather than fleeting moments of popularity.
