Why do we struggle with emotions and feelings? There is a deep rooted piece of who we are that seems to be socially unacceptable to talk about. Yet if we are to be wholistic followers of Christ, how are we to honestly love God if we haven’t learned to express the hurts and pains deep within us. It’s through the raw emotion and feeling that we authentically learn to love God with our Heart, Soul, Mind, and Strength. So while it’s popular social etiquette to mask our feelings and cover up our emotions, The Blessed Soul strives to address these hidden thoughts and feelings. Through the Blessed Soul, we will face unspoken emotions head on. Not only will we create a space that approves conversations about these things as acceptable, but also take the moment to be real about hurts and pains. Inside of this authenticity, we will read scripture that echos our sentiment. And once we have fully understood and addressed these moments, we will speak blessing over the pieces of us that are often hidden and unpopular to talk about. The Blessed Soul is a daily podcast airing Monday through Friday each week. These episode range from 5-10 minutes. These Podcast are a product of calibratedvalues.com.

Imagine being in the garden with Jesus as he prayed.
He was now just moments away from being arrested, and he knew the time was coming near. He was so filled with anguish that he looked a few of his disciples and said, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
It was an intense moment!
We read that Jesus had sweat like drops of blood falling to the ground.
And in this tension, we hear an honest prayer from Jesus.
Matthew 26:39
Father, if there is any other way, will you take this cup from me. But not my will, but yours be done.”
What was Jesus saying?
Father, if there is any others way - In other words, Jesus knew that the infinite Heavenly Father, could do anything he wanted to remedy the problem of sin. He really could have called 10 thousand angels. But the problem with the Hymn, is that he didn’t need them to destroy the world. He could have had them fight the spiritual battle and destroy evil. He could have found another way to make things right, without Jesus suffering, being humiliated, beaten, ridiculed, and murdered on a cross. But he didn’t.
Why was God’s will for Jesus to die?
