Feasting while the faithful still fast.

Reigning in rooms we never suffered to build.

But Paul speaks, and the mask cracks.

This episode is a call to the comfortable,

a mirror for the mighty,

a whisper to the weary who’ve stayed low while others climbed high.

We trace the steps of apostles—not to stages, but to suffering.

Not to crowns, but to crosses.

For in this upside-down Kingdom,

the garbage of the world becomes gold in God’s hands.

And those crushed beneath weightless pride

are raised by the weight of glory.

Come sit in the tension.

Come bleed with the saints.

Come find the King who wore thorns before honor.
