The tomb is empty.

Jesus is alive.

But what happens when you weren’t there to see it?

What happens when others believe… and you’re not so sure?

In this episode, you step into what we’re calling the “first Thursday”—not a day Scripture names, but the moment when doubt begins to rise after the resurrection.

📖 John 20:24 tells us Thomas wasn’t in the room when Jesus first appeared.

He missed the moment.

He missed the evidence.

And when others told him—

📖 “We have seen the Lord!” (John 20:25)

—he struggled to believe.

Sound familiar?

This episode explores the reality that even after the resurrection:

• Doubt can surface 🤔

• Questions can linger ⏳

• Faith can feel out of reach 🌫️

And yet—Jesus doesn’t avoid that space.

📖 John 20:27 shows us something powerful:

Jesus meets Thomas directly in his doubt.

✨ Not with rejection

✨ Not with frustration

✨ But with invitation

“Don’t be faithless, but believe.”

And Thomas responds:

📖 “My Lord and my God!” — John 20:28

🔥 Doubt didn’t disqualify him

🔥 It became the doorway to deeper belief

Then comes a word that reaches all the way to you:

📖 “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.” — John 20:29

➡️ You weren’t in the room

➡️ You didn’t see the scars

➡️ But the invitation is still yours

If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt… this episode is for you.
