About this episode

This episode discusses the significance of being named and known by Christ, as illustrated in the story of Mary Magdalene's encounter with the resurrected Christ.

Summary John 20:11-18 tells the story of the appearance of the resurrected Christ to Mary Magdalene. At its core, this story is about turning to Christ when we hear him speak our name. This is also what prayer is all about.
