✝️ On this Good Friday, Rohan Bell and Phil Wearden reflect on one of the most confronting and powerful moments in the Gospels—when Jesus is rejected and Barabbas is released.

😱 The crowd that once shouted “Hosanna!” now cries “Crucify Him!”

💔 And a guilty man walks free, while the innocent Son of God is condemned.

In this moving episode of Talkin’ Bible, Rohan and Phil unpack:

👥 The shocking fickleness of the crowd

🔁 How religious leaders manipulated public opinion

🧍‍♂️ Why Pilate washed his hands—but still gave in

🔓 The meaning behind the name Barabbas ("Son of the Father")

📖 How Jesus, the true Son of the Father, took the place of another son of the father—Barabbas... and us.

🔥 Big themes explored:

Mob mentality and the danger of unthinking group behaviour

Why we all, in some way, are like Barabbas—guilty, but set free

The cost of Jesus’ silence in the face of injustice

The challenge of disappointment when God doesn’t meet our expectations

🙋‍♂️ Ever asked:

Why would people turn on Jesus so fast?

Why did Pilate cave under pressure?

What does Barabbas have to do with me?

This episode will help you reflect on:

✝️ The substitutionary power of the cross

🧠 The importance of critical thinking and not just following the crowd

🕊️ The deep, personal truth that Jesus took our place

💭 "We are all Barabbas.

And Jesus, the Son of the Father, took our cross so we could walk free."
