šŸŒæ What really happened in Gethsemane?

In this moving and powerful episode of Talkinā€™ Bible, Rohan Bell and Phil Wearden reflect on Jesusā€™ darkest night in the Garden of Gethsemaneā€”the moment He surrendered His will to the Father.

šŸ™ What it means when He said, ā€œNot my will, but yours be doneā€

šŸ«’ The significance of Gethsemane (literally ā€œolive pressā€)ā€”and how Jesus was ā€œpressedā€ for our redemption

šŸ˜“ The medical reality of sweating blood under intense stress

šŸ›Œ The disciplesā€™ sleepinessā€”and why it invites our compassion
