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.

As we enter into what’s known as the passion week, we will take a look at Jesus’ life, and how he spent the final week before going to the cross. This week is known as the passion week, because it refers to the events that lead to Jesus’ suffering, and why he was willing to do it. As we enter into this week, I hope to take you on a journey of seeing things through the eyes of Jesus. Remember that during this week particularly, Jesus was focused on the calling in front of him, to save mankind - and bring us back into right relationship with the Heavenly Father. I pray that through this week, you will find a new appreciation for what Jesus saw, and exactly how he thought of you!

Mark 11:12-14
The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.
Wow!
That seems a bit cold, doesn’t it. Just because there wasn’t any fruit on the tree, Jesus curses it and it never producers fruit again? Why did Jesus respond this way to a tree. Especially since Mark here notes that it was not even the season for figs.
If it was out of season, why would Jesus expect there to be fruit.
Fig trees are popular in this area. They are very full and obvious. Jesus here notices it from off the road. So he went over to it. But when he got there, he didn’t see anything but leaves.
Fig trees are particular. They have season for fruit to grow. At the time of this event, this is not the season yet. It will happen a few months later in the year. What was Jesus expecting to see? If season wasn’t in place, why wouldn’t he understand that there would’t have been any fruits.
