We love a crowd. The noise, the praise, the energy. But Jesus didn’t ride into Jerusalem just to soak up the celebration—He came to be planted. In this episode of Growing in the Garden, we look at Palm Sunday through a different lens: not just the triumphal entry, but the steps that led from public affirmation to private surrender.

Jesus didn’t come to overthrow Rome—He came to overcome sin. And before there was a cross, there was a garden. Gethsemane wasn’t just a stop on the way to Calvary. It was the place of pressure, surrender, and preparation.

The crowd wanted a king. Jesus chose to be a seed.

We’ll break down five powerful lessons from Jesus in the garden:

• Every calling has a garden.
• Growth requires pressure.
• The garden is where surrender outweighs self.
• What happens in the garden pushes you toward purpose.
• Surrender is the greatest doorway to growth.

Resurrection is coming. But don’t skip the garden—it’s where the real growth happens.
