173: Betrayed with a Kiss: Jesus, Judas, and the Pain of Love

💔 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.
