Episode 7 - Palms and Protest


Listen Later

Yesterday, millions of people gathered.
They held handmade signs, filled the streets, and raised their voices together pushing back against a kind of leadership that centers itself above the people it is meant to serve.

Palm Sunday begins the same way.

In Jerusalem, the crowd gathers. They move together. They shout “Hosanna” a cry for salvation carried through generations. It feels like possibility. Like something could finally change.

But as the moment builds, the crowd begins to shape what that change should look like. They reach for a kind of power they recognize.

This episode explores the tension at the center of Palm Sunday how we can resist domination and still reach for control, how we can reject spectacle and still expect power to prove itself.

Because we are not just watching the crowd.

We are the crowd.

And we are the ones who decide what kind of power we recognize, what kind of leadership we follow, and how that takes shape in our lives.
