Every spring, Jewish families around the world gather around a table, open an ancient book called the Haggadah, and tell a story that is over 3,000 years old. They eat bitter herbs to remember suffering. They dip parsley into salt water to remember tears. They drink four cups of wine to remember four promises God made. And they tell their children — every single year — the story of how God set them free. This feast is called Passover. And if you are a follower of Jesus Christ, this story...

It is Thursday night in Jerusalem. The city is buzzing with Passover pilgrims, but in a quiet garden on the Mount of Olives, twelve men have slipped away from the noise. Eleven of them have fallen asleep. One of them is on His knees.

Many believers love God deeply yet still feel stuck—repeating the same cycles, fears, and internal battles. Scripture helps us name what’s happening beneath the surface: strongholds formed through habitual thought patterns. These patterns don’t always look demonic or sinful. Often they sound like quiet lies we’ve rehearsed for years. The good news is that God’s Word doesn’t just expose strongholds—it provides a powerful pathway to freedom and renewal.
