#463 - Kyle Thompson // The Crushing of Jesus

We walk through Jesus in Gethsemane as the clearest picture of true crushing and why suffering can still be purposeful. We connect the olive press symbolism, the reality of temptation, and God’s presence in the valley to what you’re facing right now.  • Jesus’ agony in Gethsemane and the call to watch and pray  • Crushing as part of God’s curriculum for impossible tasks  • Hematidrosis and what extreme stress can do to the body  • Gethsemane as an olive press and the spiritual symbolism of pressure producing sacrifice  • Submitting to the Father’s will when life feels unbearable  • Repentance and transferring faith from self to Jesus’ finished work  • Psalm 23 and God’s presence in the valley of the shadow of death  Before you go, if you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five star rating and review.  Support the show Want to connect?
