Episode 7 - Palms and Protest
<p>Yesterday, millions of people gathered.<br />They held handmade signs, filled the streets, and raised their voices together pushing back against a kind of leadership that centers itself above the people it is meant to serve.</p><p>Palm Sunday begins the same way.</p><p>In Jerusalem, the crowd gathers. They move together. They shout “Hosanna” a cry for salvation carried through generations. It feels like possibility. Like something could finally change.</p><p>But as the moment builds, the crowd begins to shape what that change should look like. They reach for a kind of power they recognize.</p><p>This episode explores the tension at the center of Palm Sunday how we can resist domination and still reach for control, how we can reject spectacle and still expect power to prove itself.</p><p>Because we are not just watching the crowd.</p><p>We are the crowd.</p><p>And we are the ones who decide what kind of power we recognize, what kind of leadership we follow, and how that takes shape in our lives.</p><p>Receive a weekly narrative like this one in your inbox:<br /><a href="https://www.sacrednarratives.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.sacrednarratives.com</a></p><p>Read reflections on the blog:<br /><a href="https://www.sacrednarratives.com/blog" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.sacrednarratives.com/blog</a></p><p>Connect with us across platforms:<br /><a href="https://linktr.ee/SacredNarratives" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/SacredNarratives</a></p>

Episode 6 - When Revival Makes Ripples
<p>Everyone loves a comeback story—until you realize you might have to be part of it. In this episode, we step into the story of Lazarus, where, after four days dead, life returns. But when he comes out, he is still wrapped, still bound, still carrying what has not yet been set down.</p><p>Jesus does not step forward to fix it. He looks at the people who stayed and says, “Unbind him.” The same people who sat in the house, who walked the road, who stayed through the hard part, are the ones close enough to help when life returns. The same spaces that held grief begin to hold something else. Not finished. But moving.</p><p>Join us each week at <a href="http://www.sacrednarratives.com/">www.sacrednarratives.com</a> to receive a weekly narrative like this one in your inbox.<br>Follow us on social media — our linktree is in our profile — and join us each week in Lent as we ask together, “Can we skip to the good part?”</p>

Episode 5 - When the Good Part Backfires
<p>In John 9, Jesus heals a man whose life has been shaped by hardship since birth. But the healing is not the center of the story.</p><p>The real conflict begins when his life changes — and the people around him don’t know what to do with it.</p><p>The neighbors argue about his identity.<br>The religious authorities search for someone to blame.<br>The system looks for a way to explain the disruption.</p><p>And when the man refuses to repeat their explanations, they drive him out.</p><p>“One thing I do know: my life has changed.”</p><p>This episode explores what actually unfolds in John 9 — how human beings search for fault when life feels unpredictable, why institutions resist transformation they cannot control, and what happens when lived experience challenges the expectations we rely on.</p><p>Hardship does not always come with a reason.</p><p>But how we respond to someone whose life changes reveals something deeper about us.</p><p>From addiction recovery to cancer survivorship to public debates around identity, the pattern still repeats itself today.</p><p>When lives change, communities often struggle to adjust.</p><p>Instead of making room for transformation, we sometimes push the disruption away.</p><p>But the story doesn’t end there.</p><p>Jesus hears that the man has been driven out.<br>And he goes looking for him.</p><p>This episode asks what that response means for us now.</p><p>If life already contains enough hard parts, why would we make them harder for each other?</p><p>Join us during Lent as we ask together: Can we skip to the good part?</p><p>Receive a weekly narrative like this one in your inbox:<br><a href="https://www.sacrednarratives.com/">https://www.sacrednarratives.com</a></p><p>Read reflections on the blog:<br><a href="https://www.sacrednarratives.com/blog">https://www.sacrednarratives.com/blog</a></p><p>Connect with us across platforms:<br><a href="https://linktr.ee/SacredNarratives">https://linktr.ee/SacredNarratives</a></p>
