About this episode
As we approach Palm Sunday, New Testament scholar Nijay Gupta joins Kaitlyn to answer a pretty important question: why do we wave palm branches? Dr. Gupta gives fascinating historical background on this practice, but he also points us to its theological significance. Jesus entered into his reign in a surprising way - because he is a surprising king.
