Sunday, March 29, 2026
E42: Palm Sunday
Introduction:
I invite you to reflect on the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem and the profound significance of His journey towards the cross. Join me as I guide you through a moment of spiritual reflection and growth.
Scripture Reading:
Matthew 21: 10-11
Meditation:
Find a quiet space free from distractions and focus on your breathing, inviting the presence of God, centering your hearts to hear God's word.
Reflection Prompts:
Consider the ways in which Jesus' journey towards the cross parallels your own spiritual journey. How can you emulate His example of selflessness and obedience?

Reflect on the significance of Palm Sunday in your own faith journey. How does Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem inspire you to live boldly for Him?

Contemplate the areas of your life where you may be called to endure suffering or difficulty for the sake of righteousness. How can you trust in God's provision and guidance during these times?
Continue the Journey

These reflections are part of the Lenten series from Seasons By The Well — a space to slow down, listen for God, and reflect on His presence in the middle of everyday life.
If you’ve missed an episode along the way, that’s okay. 
These reflections are meant to be returned to, not simply checked off a list. Sometimes the message we need most is one we’ve already heard.
So take a moment this week to revisit a reflection that stayed with you…and sit again.
I’ll meet you here — by the well.
If these Lenten reflections have been meaningful to you, I’d love to invite you to continue the journey.
A new podcast, ⁠By The Well⁠, will be launching soon with weekly and biweekly episodes offering guided reflections, meditations, and conversations to help you slow down, listen for God, and grow deeper in faith throughout the year.
The best way to stay connected and not miss the first episodes is to subscribe now.

Take the 2-minute listener survey:

Today’s episode is a quiet pause.
We recently crossed 15,000 streams of the By The Well podcast, and I didn’t want to rush past that moment without stopping to say thank you.
Thank you to those who have been listening from the beginning.Thank you to those who have subscribed, left a rating or review, filled out the listener survey, or shared an episode with a friend. Every one of those actions helps this podcast reach someone who may need encouragement in their own season.
As we move toward Holy Week, I also wanted to offer a gentle reminder:
This podcast was never meant to be something you feel you need to keep up with.
These reflections are meant to be returned to, not simply consumed once and checked off a list.
If there was an episode that stayed with you…or a message you’re still wrestling with…consider revisiting it during this week.
Sometimes the second listening is where something deeper begins to unfold.
Because learning to slow down, listen for God, and respond in faith instead of fear isn’t something that happens in a single moment.
It’s something we return to again and again, in every season of life.
Thank you for being here.Thank you for listening.And thank you for sharing this space by the well.

You can help others find it by:
• Subscribing to the podcast

• Sharing an episode with someone who might need it
Your support helps this message reach the people who need it most.

If you’re new here, you can explore past episodes and reflections throughout the podcast.
Sometimes the episode you need most is one you’ve already heard.
So take a moment this week to return…and sit again.
I’ll meet you here — by the well.
