About this episode

This episode explores the difference between praise and true worship as it relates to the expectations of Jesus during Palm Sunday.

On Palm Sunday, the crowds shouted “Hosanna”—but their expectations of Jesus were far different from the kind of King He came to be. This message walks through the tension between praise and true worship, exposing how easily our lips can honor God while our hearts drift elsewhere. As we enter Holy Week, it invites a personal reflection: where do we stand in the story, and are we following the real Jesus—or the version we hoped for?
