141 Exchanging our Emotional Yo-Yos for Jesus's Yes

In this episode of the Attaching to God podcast, Geoff and Cyd Holsclaw explore the ancient Christian “Great Exchange”, that Jesus became what we are so we could become what he is—taking on humanity, sin, weakness, and death to give righteousness, strength, adoption, and life. They contrast Peter’s Passion-week emotional “yo-yo” with Jesus’ steady “yes,” holding both intimacy and independence with the Father and his disciples through the Last Supper, Gethsemane, and the cross. The episode closes with a palms-up/palms-down practice of releasing what we carry and receiving what Christ has already accomplished, a short prayer, and a blessing.
