Through the story of Nicodemus meeting Jesus in the night, and Andy Dufresne crawling through the dark toward the light, we’ll reflect on what it means to be set free by grace and to let old stories die so something new can begin. Both Nick and Andy remind us that sometimes the hardest prisons to leave are the ones we’ve made for ourselves, and that rebirth rarely begins in triumph. It starts when we are stuck in the dark, with a whisper of hope that maybe, just maybe, the story isn’t over yet.

Now, someone casually mentioned to me this week that they had never seen The Shawshank Redemption. I felt bad for them. Consider this your excuse to give it a watch or rewatch. Listen in as we explore the Rebirth plot line and the grace that ambushes us in the most surprising places.
