March to the Cross | The Reality in the Garden - Bill Stephens

About this episode

Bill Stephens discusses the doubts and moments of clarity experienced by the disciples during the Easter story, particularly in the Garden.

There is room throughout the Easter story for questions, doubts and disbelief. Each of the disciples went through it. Jesus knew it. God gives room for us to go through the bumpy, courageous journey of faith. And with each one, there was a moment of clarity that helped them conclude, this is real. It was in the Garden that I experienced my own moment of clarity that grounded my faith like no other experinence. I want to look at a few of the experiences they had, and paint the picture of the Garden, this story is real, lets ground it as we head to Easter. ascentcc.org
