This week on The Road to the Cross, Steve and Tim follow Jesus beyond the city gates, where the condemned are cast out to die. As we approach Golgotha, we reflect on the shame of crucifixion, the symbolism of exile, and the prophetic layers hidden in the details of Jesus’ suffering. Why was he crucified outside the camp? What’s the deeper meaning behind the crown of thorns, the robe, and the inscription Pilate wrote?

We also discuss mob violence, lament, and how Jesus’ journey still transforms lives today—from ancient Jerusalem to modern Uganda.

💡 Key themes:
• The cultural shame of crucifixion
• Prophetic imagery in Psalm 22, Isaiah 53 & Genesis 22
• The symbolism of being “outside the walls”
• How the cross confronts power, pride, and religious violence
• A powerful story of rescue from a young mother in Uganda
