Episode What If God’s “Good” Isn’t What You Think? | The Gospels | John 18:1-14

0:00 13:43

Does God promise you a happy, comfortable life? What should you believe when suffering comes? Why did Jesus willingly walk toward suffering instead of trying to avoid it? In today’s episode, Jensen explores John 18:1-14 and exposes the problem with prosperity-gospel thinking: our greatest good isn’t a comfortable life; it’s the salvation and new life Jesus has already secured for us.
