ep 20 - The True and Living Way

Jesus just watched Judas walk out into the night. Peter's about to be told he'll deny him three times. And in the middle of all that heartbreak, Jesus starts talking about rooms being prepared, a way, a truth, a life. In this episode, Luke and Nathan dig into the culture behind John 14 — ancient Jewish betrothal customs, what "many mansions" actually meant to a first-century bride and groom, why "ask in my name" isn't a blank check, and what it really meant to keep Jesus's commandments. If you've ever heard these verses quoted like a slogan, this episode will help you hear them the way the room first heard them — as the last, tender words of a rabbi who loved his friends to the end.
