The Living Compass Spirituality and Wellness Podcast Episode: Disarmed, and Armed with Love

As we enter Holy Week, Scott reflects on one of the most overlooked details of the Palm Sunday story — how Jesus enters Jerusalem. Rather than arriving with military might, chariots, and armor as the leaders of his day would have done, Jesus enters humbly, on a donkey, armed only with love. This simple but profound choice sets the tone for everything that follows in Holy Week.

In this episode, Scott explores:

• What Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem reveals about the nature of true power
• Why healing and wholeness are always rooted in love rather than might
• How vulnerability and simplicity — not armor and force — are the hallmarks of love in action
• The through-line connecting Palm Sunday, the washing of feet on Maundy Thursday, and the cross
• Why, as Martin Luther King Jr. said, only love can drive out hate — and what that means for our world today

As the Lenten season draws to a close, Scott reminds us that cultivating healing and wholeness with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind is ultimately another way of saying we are choosing love — and that love, as Easter proclaims, always wins.

Blessings to you as you enter Holy Week — disarmed, and armed with love.
