In this episode of Your Week with St. Luke’s, St. Luke’s Pastors Corey, Jad, and Melissa reflect on John 20:19–23, exploring how the risen Jesus meets the disciples in their fear, speaks peace into their anxiety, and immediately sends them out with the gift of the Holy Spirit and the responsibility of forgiveness. The conversation highlights the movement from fear to joy, from disorientation to purpose, and wrestles with the weight and necessity of forgiveness as central to the Christian life—suggesting that true peace is deeply connected to our willingness to both receive and extend grace. Ultimately, the episode invites listeners to see themselves as part of a resurrection community, shaped by forgiveness and called to embody Christ’s peace in the world.
