What if we’ve been rushing past the most important part of the story?

In this special Holy Week episode, Pastor Luke sits down with Pastor Joel to reflect on the final days of Jesus’ life—and why we can’t skip the journey to the cross to fully understand the power of the resurrection.

From the Garden of Gethsemane to the empty tomb, this conversation is a call to slow down, remember, and step into a deeper relationship with Jesus. Why did the disciples fall asleep when Jesus asked them to pray? And where might we be doing the same in our own lives?

This episode challenges us to move beyond surface-level belief and into true abiding—walking closely with Jesus in both suffering and victory. Because spiritual leadership doesn’t start with what we do for God, but how we dwell with Him.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

•  Why Holy Week matters more than we often realize 
•  The danger of spiritual disengagement—and how to stay awake 
•  What it means to truly abide with Jesus 
•  How humility leads to deeper worship 
•  Why the resurrection changes how we live right now
