The empty tomb is not a tidy epilogue; it’s a jolt that turns fear into a mission. We unpack Mark 16 with clear-eyed curiosity, moving from the women’s shock at the tomb to the disciples’ unbelief, and then to the explosive call to preach the gospel everywhere. Along the way we tackle one of the New Testament’s most debated questions: does Mark end at verse 8 or continue through verse 20? We lay out the manuscript evidence, explain why major codices omit the longer ending, and show how other witnesses include it and how the church received it—without turning this into an academic fog or a crisis of faith.

From there, we map the heart issues the text exposes. Why did no one expect a resurrection countdown when Jesus promised it? What does Christ’s rebuke of unbelief teach us about correction and growth? We highlight the courage of the women, the honesty of the disciples’ doubts, and the surprising kindness of a Savior who sends flawed people anyway. The conversation also traces the meaning of the ascension and Christ’s session at the right hand of God, connecting the clouds to the throne and grounding our mission in a finished victory rather than frantic striving.

If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, wondered how textual criticism impacts trust, or needed a fresh push to open your mouth about Jesus, this is for you. You’ll leave with a sharper grasp of Mark’s endings, a bigger view of the risen King, and simple steps to live and speak your faith with courage today. If this helped you see the resurrection with fresh eyes, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.
