Palm Sunday feels like a celebration—but underneath the palm branches and shouts of “Hosanna” is a deeper tension. The crowd expected a conquering king. Instead, Jesus arrives in humility, redefining what power really looks like.
In this episode of Between Sundays, we reflect on the gap between the Savior we often want and the one we actually get. In a world shaped by control, urgency, and domination—even in moments like this past weekend’s “No Kings” protests—what does it mean to follow a Jesus who chooses vulnerable, sacrificial love instead?
We’ll explore two responses to Jesus: the crowd, full of expectation but misunderstanding… and the woman who anoints him, offering quiet, costly devotion.
As we begin Holy Week, this conversation invites us to examine our expectations, release our need for control, and step into the tension of a different kind of kingdom.
What kind of power are we really seeking—and are we willing to live it out?

Between Sundays E5- Learning to See Again
In this week’s episode of Between Sundays, we reflect on the slow, honest journey of faith through the lens of a two-stage healing story from the Gospel of Mark.
What happens when faith that once felt clear becomes uncertain? How do we hold onto devotion when certainty begins to fade? And what if that shift isn’t failure, but growth?
This episode explores faith after disillusionment, whether shaped by church conflict, political tension, personal loss, or the upheaval of recent years, and offers a gentle reminder: gradual healing is still healing.
Featuring insights inspired by Brian McLaren, this reflection invites you to embrace a deeper, more honest faith. One that makes room for questions, complexity, and transformation.
If your vision feels a little blurry right now, you’re not alone.Stay open. Stay curious. And trust that Christ is still helping you see.

Between Sundays E4- Storms, Fear, and the Presence of Christ
In this week’s episode of Between Sundays, we reflect on two powerful moments from the Gospel of Mark—Jesus calming the storm and bringing healing to Jairus’ daughter and the woman who had been suffering for twelve years.
These stories remind us that fear is a natural part of being human. The disciples were afraid in the storm. Jairus feared losing his daughter. The woman in the crowd feared being seen. Yet in every moment, Jesus meets people right where they are.
This short reflection explores a simple but profound truth: faith is not the absence of fear—it’s the presence of Christ in the boat.
You’ll also find a few practical questions and a simple breath prayer to help you notice Christ’s presence in the storms you may be facing this week.
Take a moment, take a breath, and listen in.
