Soul Care Reflection

“She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, ‘Rabboni!’” — John 20:16

Episode Summary

On resurrection morning, two disciples respond to the empty tomb—Peter runs and leaves confused, but Mary stays and becomes the first to encounter the risen Christ. In this episode, we explore John 20:1–18 through the lens of Peter’s uncertainty, Mary Magdalene’s devotion, and our own spiritual journey.

Jesus meets us where we are—but He also invites us to linger. Because sometimes, the ones who stay are the ones who are sent.

Reflection Questions

• How does Mary’s presence at the tomb challenge or inspire you?
• When have you felt like Peter—unsure, searching, maybe even ashamed?
• What would it look like for you to stay long enough to be seen, called, and sent?
