In this episode, we step into the center of the Temple for Luke 20. This is the day of the Great Debates, where the religious establishment tries to use logic, taxes, and theology as weapons to discredit Jesus. For anyone who has lived in a "Laboratory of Shame," this chapter is a masterclass in how to respond when the "Old System" tries to pull you back into the mud.
What we cover today:
- The Vineyard Rebellion: Why we often try to kill the "Owner" of our lives just to keep the fruit for ourselves, and why that "God-Complex" eventually leads to a collapse.
- The Neuroscience of Loyalty: A deep dive into the silver Denarius of Tiberius. Caesar may own the currency, but God owns the Image stamped on your soul.
- Resurrection Logic: Why your past "husbands"—your old labels and dead versions of yourself—have no legal claim on your future.
- The Rejected Stone: How the very parts of your story you are most ashamed of become the cornerstone of your new legacy.
The world will always ask, "By what authority are you doing these things?" Today, we learn how to let our transformed lives be the only answer we need.
