🎙️ Episode 43 — The Story of Reversals (John 18) | #Faith4TodayPodcast

In this powerful episode, we step into John 18, where everything seems upside down — betrayal, denial, injustice — yet God’s plan is unfolding perfectly.

In the garden where humanity first fell, Jesus begins the greatest reversal in history. Adam disobeyed and grasped for control; Jesus obeyed and surrendered in trust. When He says, “I am He,” even His captors fall backward — a glimpse of divine authority cloaked in humility.

From the Garden to the courtroom, every scene reveals a deeper truth: Jesus obeys where Adam fell, stands where Peter falters, and reigns where earthly power collapses. This isn’t defeat — it’s divine submission. Through surrender, Jesus reverses the curse and invites us to live in the freedom of His truth.

📖 In this episode, Pastor Matthew Hunt explores:

• The Garden as a place of reversal — from rebellion to redemption

• How identity leads to purpose (Jesus said “I am He” with conviction, not convenience)

• Why feelings are real, but not in charge — conviction anchors us when emotion can’t

• Peter’s denial and Jesus’ courage — how light exposes the shadows in our lives

• The difference between living by pressure or purpose, pleasure or faithfulness

💡 Bonus Insights:

• How to build your life on conviction, not comfort

• Why obedience and faithfulness still matter in a culture of convenience

• How Jesus’ surrender models mature discipleship

• The freedom found in divine order — living right-side up in an upside-down world

🔥 “You can’t live accidentally and fulfill destiny.”

Jesus shows us that surrender isn’t weakness — it’s the pathway to power.
