The Pharisees judged followers of Christ if they did not follow religious rules created by man. They were so focused on the outside appearance of others that they missed many of the miracles performed by The Son of God. Take time today to examine your heart and ask God what "appearances" you may be worrying about.

As we fast "Halo's" today, read into Luke 19. Sometimes we struggle to feel like we have to always be emotionally put together as Christ followers, but God tells us in His word that it is okay to feel our emotions. In fact, He says that those who weep are blessed by Him.

As Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowds shouted "Hosanna!"—but days later, they called for His crucifixion. Yet, through betrayal and suffering, Jesus never withdrew His heart. In this video, we explore the tension between healthy self-protection and spiritual insulation—when pain tempts us to shut God out. Inspired by John 15:18–16:4, we reflect on how Jesus embraced love even when it hurt. Are you shrinking back from God out of fear? Let's press in, trust, and grow through the discomfort.

"If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out" (Luke 19:39-40). It can be easy to get in our heads at times when we are in worship or prayer. Today challenge yourself to worship with abandon; surrender yourself to the Lord as we fast "Spectatorship". Pray and ask God to give you the heart of a participator and to withhold hesitation when it comes to glorifying our creator.
