Episode Synopsis

Friday, March 28: In today’s episode of The Daily Grind, it’s Friday with Maritza, and she’s back from spring break! John and Maritza dive deep into John 17—one of the most intimate and profound moments in all of Scripture—where Jesus offers what’s often called His “High Priestly Prayer.” They explore how Jesus prays for Himself, His disciples, and future believers—including us. Maritza reflects on how Jesus doesn’t pray for physical protection, but for spiritual strength, unity, and connection with the Father. Together, they consider what it means to be in the world but not of it, and how Jesus’ prayers can shape how we pray. Maritza shares how her own approach to prayer has changed, becoming more about gratitude and growth than outcomes. They also talk through the ache and love Jesus shows even for Judas, and how our faith can carry us through moments of grief and uncertainty. This episode is a rich reminder that Jesus continues to intercede for us, and that our unity and love are meant to be a testimony to the world. As we approach Easter, this chapter draws us closer to Jesus’ heart, purpose, and mission.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions.
