💔 What do you do when a friend turns on you?
In this sobering yet deeply reflective episode of the Talkin’ Bible Podcast, Rohan Bell and Phil Wearden unpack John 13 — Jesus’ shocking prediction of His betrayal at the Last Supper.
💡 You might know the story...
But have you ever seen yourself in Judas?
Together, Rohan and Phil explore:
🥖 The heartbreaking moment Jesus shares bread with His betrayer
💔 How Jesus offers love—even to those who hurt Him
🤯 The mystery of Satan entering Judas and what that might actually mean
🪞 Why this moment is more about self-reflection than condemnation
🔥 Key takeaways from this episode:
Jesus didn’t expose Judas—He invited him to the table
We’re all capable of betrayal, but Jesus still offers grace
There’s a warning and a hope: Love holds even when others let go
What it means to not build theology beyond what the text says
🙋♂️ Could you be more like Judas than you'd like to admit?
Or like Peter—bold in words, weak in action?
This conversation challenges listeners to:
⚖️ Read Scripture without Western assumptions
❤️ Respond to betrayal with grace, not vengeance
📖 Trust that even in darkness, Jesus is still in control
✝️ Jesus wasn’t caught off guard—He chose to love anyway.
