In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus falls under the crushing weight of what’s to come—sweating blood, praying for another way, and yet choosing surrender. In this Holy Week episode, Pastors Arch and Josh unpack the deep symbolism of the olive press, the “cup” of God’s wrath, and the heartbreak of betrayal. Jesus wasn’t a victim—He was a volunteer. And in His most human moment, He shows us how to pray when we’re at our lowest.
