Jesus knew that dying was part of God's plan, but still he asked if there was another way. He was sad, scared, but trusted God above all.
Studio RC brings you a special Good Friday edition with Pastor Max Ingram, where he takes you through the 'Stations of the Cross'. This episode delves into the significance of each station, blending biblical events with recovery concepts. Max, an alcoholic and follower of Jesus, provides a vivid narrative of Jesus' journey from the Garden of Gethsemane to being laid in the tomb, using artistic representations like stained glass and paintings to enhance the storytelling.
Each station is tied to a recovery principle, making it relatable and insightful for those on their own recovery journey. Max begins with Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, highlighting the importance of prayer and meditation in recovery. He then moves to Jesus being betrayed by Judas, linking it to resilience in the face of betrayal.
The episode continues with Jesus' condemnation, denial by Peter, and judgement by Pilate, each event paired with relevant recovery themes like honesty and taking responsibility. The narrative intensifies as Max describes Jesus' brutal beating and crucifixion, drawing parallels to surrendering defences in recovery. He also emphasises community support, as seen when Simon helps Jesus carry the cross and the women of Jerusalem offer their support.
The episode concludes with Jesus' death and burial, symbolising the end of one chapter and the beginning of another, filled with hope and renewal. Max's empathetic and engaging storytelling makes this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and guidance in their recovery journey. Don't miss out on this unique blend of faith and recovery principles that can offer both spiritual and practical support.
