Episode 199 – Begin Again - The Weekly

About this episode

In this episode, hosts Jay Ewing and Thomas Milburn discuss the restoration of Peter and the themes of beginning again with God as they conclude their journey through the Gospel of John.

The Gospel of John is finished — but not before one final, unresolved question: what happened to Peter? In this closing episode of their journey through John, host Jay Ewing and Senior Pastor Thomas Milburn land in John 21, where Jesus meets a broken, failing Peter on the beach and restores him — not with shame, but with a simple question: "Do you love me?" Along the way they explore what it means to begin again with God, the trap of comparing your story to someone else's, and the personalized curriculum of formation God has for each of us. They also unpack the mystery of the disciple Jesus loved, reflect on John's extraordinary ending, and look ahead to the summer series on prayer and wisdom.
