What if Palm Sunday isn't a parade — it's a powder keg? In this Holy Week opener, Tom pulls back the curtain on one of the most politically charged moments in the Gospels. With Roman troops flooding the streets, half a million pilgrims, zealots with swords on their hips, and a crowd screaming a battle cry — Jesus rides in on a donkey. Not a war horse. A donkey. This episode unpacks why that choice was the most radical thing he could have done, and what it means for how we follow him today.
