When it Costs the Most (John 19:17-42)
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Most people show up for Jesus when it's safe. Nicodemus had been quietly watching for the entire Gospel of John, showing up at night, speaking carefully, covering his tracks. But something about the cross changed that. In this episode, we look at John 19 and the strange, costly responses of the people who stayed when everyone else had gone, and we ask what it means to follow Jesus at the moment it would cost you the most.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Watch the episode on video: <a href="https://youtu.be/JcI_nrHwsqA">https://youtu.be/JcI_nrHwsqA</a> </p> <p><span>-----------------</span></p> <p>My new book, <strong>The Edge of the Inside</strong>, is now available.

The Coward’s Defense (John 18:28-19:16)
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Pilate says "I find him not guilty" three times, then hands Jesus over to be crucified anyway. In this episode of Rebuilding Faith, we look at the slow-motion moral collapse of a man who knew exactly what he was doing. Pilate isn't a monster. He's something more familiar: someone who disagrees with what's happening but goes along with it because the cost of refusing feels too high. The crowd, the pressure, the threat to his position, all of it adds up until his stated innocence becomes a kind of theater, a defense built on words while his actions tell a different story. The question this passage puts to us isn't whether we'd recognize injustice. It's whether we'd do anything about it.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Watch the episode on video: <a href="https://youtu.be/v9FQw_tBE3Q">https://youtu.be/v9FQw_tBE3Q</a> </p> <p><span>-----------------</span></p> <p>My new book, <strong>The Edge of the Inside</strong>, is now available.

The Charcoal Fire (John 18:15-27)
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Peter said he was ready to die for Jesus. Twenty-four hours later, he was warming himself by a charcoal fire, telling strangers he'd never met the man. Most of us know what it's like to mean something and then discover, under pressure, that we didn't quite mean it the way we thought. The gap between who we intend to be and who we actually are in the moment of cost is one of the most honest places in all of Scripture. And it turns out, it's not the end of Peter's story.</p> <p class="flex justify-start">Watch the episode on video: <a href="https://youtu.be/R4SiWgQ95Zw">https://youtu.be/R4SiWgQ95Zw</a> </p> <p><span>-----------------</span></p> <p>My new book, The Edge of the Inside, is now available.
