In-Between Praises & Rejection

About this episode

The episode discusses how Jesus maintained His mission amidst the fleeting approval of the crowds and emphasizes finding identity in God rather than in public praise.

Have you ever felt the pressure of living for people’s approval? As Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowds celebrated Him as King. But the praise wouldn’t last.
