1:44Now PlayingRussell asks a genuinely tough theological question, why does the human side of Christ, not the divine side, take center stage in the Garden of Gethsemane, and why did he have to suffer at all before reaching the cross. The conversation traces it back to God wrestling with himself, wanting to fully feel everything a person feels before choosing to go through with it anyway, connecting it all the way back to Jacob wrestling with the angel and coming out with a new identity. Russell and his guests riff on the idea with genuine humor along the way, but the core question lands, that suffering wasn't skipped, it was walked through deliberately. A thoughtful, occasionally funny dive into one of the heaviest moments in the gospel.
