What happens when the King of the Universe meets the Prince of Darkness?

This week on the Isaiah 43 Podcast, we dive into John 13:21–30 to explore the moment Judas Iscariot turned toward the night. We break down the profound Greek word tarouzo to see the true depth of Jesus’ troubled soul—reminding us that our Savior is not a distant observer, but a "Man of Sorrows" who feels the weight of our betrayal.

But in the midst of pure darkness, Jesus isn't a victim. He is the Sovereign Orchestrator. Discover why Jesus’ command to Judas is the ultimate proof that God never has a "Plan B." If God can turn the greatest evil in history into the salvation of the world, He can certainly weave the broken pieces of your life into His glory.

Key highlights include:

  • The visceral meaning of Jesus’ "troubled" spirit.
  • Why "Plan A" is the only plan God has.
  • Finding peace when the darkness feels like it’s winning.
