It’s a new year and a new episode of the All Consuming Grace Podcast, and Paul and Rebecca Turner turn their attention to Luke 19 and the familiar yet often overlooked events of the Triumphal Entry.

Rather than focusing solely on the crowd or the King riding into Jerusalem, this episode zooms in on the people involved—especially the two unnamed disciples Jesus sent to retrieve a colt. Their simple, unquestioning obedience becomes the centerpiece of a powerful challenge: be a “horse thief.”

These men acted with humble obedience to Jesus’ word, even when the instruction seemed strange, uncomfortable, or risky. Their obedience mattered. It impacted others. It stirred excitement. And it ultimately served the glory of God.

But not everyone celebrated. As always, there were those who were bothered—those who preferred “the way things have always been done.” Paul and Rebecca explore how this tension still exists within Christianity today, where humble obedience can unsettle the comfortable and expose the resistance of the so-called “normies.”

This episode calls believers to examine their own response to God’s Word. Obedience may be terrifying to some, but it is always transformative. When we humbly obey, God is glorified, lives are changed, and God's work moves forward.

Will you stay safe within the norm—or will you be obedient enough to "steal a horse" for Jesus?
