Jesus appeared after his resurrection to 500 people at the same time. Imagine being in the crowd and how it would have changed your life. Perry shares the fictional story of one young man in that crowd and how seeing Jesus impacted the rest of his life. Then, the journey to become like Jesus takes a lifetime and requires going through really hard things. Shawna shares (with tears) what that journey has looked like for her.

Next, what’s it going to take for the people in your family who aren’t following Jesus to fall in love with him. Then, when we thank God for his good and perfect gifts it pulls us into a deeper intimacy with the Giver of those gifts. Last, the power of the gospel to break down the walls that keep human hearts from joyfully surrendering to following Jesus. Share this show if you’re encouraged by it!
