In this powerful Lenten episode of Peaceable and Kind, host Derek Vreeland invites us to reflect deeply on the healing power of the cross. As we journey with Jesus toward Jerusalem, Derek explores the meaning of suffering, sin, and redemption through the lens of Scripture—especially the second chapter of 1 Peter, where we’re reminded that “by His wounds, we are healed.”

With heartfelt insight, Derek unpacks how Jesus, our Great Physician, heals us both body and soul. From the flu-stricken trenches of parenting to the quiet pain of soul wounds, this episode reminds us that salvation isn’t just about forgiveness, it’s about wholeness.

If you've ever wrestled with spiritual pain, questioned God’s healing power, or wondered how the wounds of Christ offer more than just symbolism, this episode is your invitation to bring your brokenness to Jesus—and find real restoration.

Key Takeaways

Whether your wounds come from your own sin or the pain others have caused, this episode offers hope: Jesus still heals. Keep seeking. Keep knocking. The Physician is near.
