<p>🎯 IN THIS EPISODE:</p><p><strong>What does it mean to <em>lose in order to win</em> in Jesus' upside-down kingdom?</strong></p><p>In this episode Maron, Tyler, Barry, and Milton celebrate birthdays and dive into Peter's denial and what it means to follow Jesus when the kingdom looks nothing like worldly success. We explore how Jesus redefines winning by losing, the disorienting nature of the upside-down kingdom, and what it looks like to deny ourselves rather than deny Christ. Plus, hear about D&D mishaps, birthday gifts, Milton's disability advocacy podcast, and honest reflections on sacrifice and forgiveness.</p><p></p><p>Don't forget to subscribe as we continue through Easter!</p><p></p><p>⏰ TIMESTAMPS:</p><p>00:07 Welcome to Between Sundays</p><p>01:16 Easter Announcements</p><p>01:52 Birthday Celebrations</p><p>05:12 Birthday Reflections and Food Talk</p><p>06:24 Church Cookbook Idea</p><p>07:00 Milton's Podcast and Disability Advocacy</p><p>11:13 Maron's Seminary Paper</p><p>14:28 Dungeons & Dragons Reflections</p><p>18:28 Chessboard Story</p><p>20:29 Transition to Matthew Series</p><p>22:13 Behind the Scenes of Sermon Planning</p><p>25:04 Peter's Denial and the Upside-Down Kingdom</p><p>28:17 Psalm 22 and Suffering</p><p>38:41 Winning vs. Losing in the Kingdom</p><p>39:33 Extreme Example: Conquest of the Andes</p><p>52:11 Redefining Winning and Losing</p><p>1:00:57 Personal Stories of Sacrifice and Forgiveness</p><p>1:07:22 Sacrifice as Worship</p><p>1:16:10 Sign Off</p><p></p><p>🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW: Church services happen on weekends.
