About this listen

Journey from the warm, lamp-lit room of a final, sacred meal into the cool, moonlit quiet of an ancient olive grove. This is the story of Jesus's most vulnerable and powerful night on earth in the Garden of Gethsemane—a place of deep sorrow and the loneliest prayer ever prayed.

Through twenty vivid chapters, young listeners will walk alongside Jesus, experiencing the story through rich, sensory detail—tasting the bread and wine of the last supper, feeling the chill of the night air, and hearing the whisper of a Son's heartfelt plea to His Father.

As Jesus wrestles with the "cup of sorrow," his closest friends battle heavy eyelids, leaving Him to face the darkness alone until a heavenly angel brings strength. This immersive retelling brings to life the flickering torches that shattered the peace, the heartbreak of a friend's betrayal, and the quiet courage of a Shepherd who willingly chose the path of sacrifice. It is a deeply moving exploration of love, obedience, and the prayer that changed the world forever.
