Is It Safe? | A Holy Week Devotional from Jerusalem with Joshua Swanson

In this powerful special edition of The Walk, Worship Leader Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, Joshua Swanson, takes us to Jerusalem for a deeply moving Holy Week reflection. Recorded from a window overlooking the Mount of Olives, Joshua recounts the triumphal entry of Jesus, the sobering sound of air raid sirens, and the breathtaking sight of a rainbow stretched over the Temple Mount.

This episode isn't just a devotional—it's a bold invitation to step into obedience, even when the path isn’t safe. Whether you’re leading worship, planting a church, navigating transition, or seeking clarity in your calling, this message will stir your soul and realign your heart.

💬 What you’ll take away:

  • A fresh perspective on Jesus’ journey to the cross

  • Encouragement to prioritize calling over comfort

  • A personal challenge to walk in faith, not fear

💥 Don’t miss this one—hit play, and then share it with a friend who needs a reminder of God’s faithfulness.
