Palm Branch Politics: When the Kingdom Confronts the Empire
Podcast:Before The Noise Published On: Fri Oct 10 2025 Description: In John 12:12–19, the people of Jerusalem waved palm branches, shouting "Hosanna!" as Jesus entered the city. But their praise was political. They wanted liberation from Rome, not redemption from sin. Chad Prather exposes how modern believers fall into the same trap, trading the eternal Kingdom of God for temporary empires of power, politics, and control.
