About this episode

Kaitlyn explores the theological implications of Jesus praying as God, focusing on the Trinity and the significance of Jesus' human will.

When Jesus prayed, was he talking to himself? Kaitlyn dives into the deep end of Christian theology, talking about the Trinity, Jesus' humanity, and why "three persons, one God" is both true and mysterious. She explores why Jesus praying in the garden is not God merely talking to himself, but a glimpse into the eternal relationship of Father, Son, and Spirit, and why Jesus' human will matters for how we understand prayer, suffering, and obedience. 0:00 - Intro 1:33 - Why Does Jesus Pray for Us if He's God? 4:59 - The Trinity is one 17:02 - Sponsor - World Relief - Right now, there's $150,000 challenge gift that will TRIPLE your giving, ending June 30th!
