About this episode
This episode discusses the origins of Easter and the transformative power of Christ's resurrection.
Jesus’ resurrection changes everything for us—and it’s not built on a pagan myth or an Internet rumor. In this episode of The Well, Pastor Phil Hopper joins Les Norman to clear up the confusion around the origins of Easter and remind us that our hope is anchored in the empty tomb. Walking through Palm Sunday, Peter’s denial, and his transformation into a bold witness, this conversation encourages believers who feel like they’ve failed Jesus that His grace has the power to restore everyone. The same risen Jesus who changed Peter’s story is still changing ours. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling unworthy or believing you’ve failed one too many times, this episode reminds you that Christ’s resurrection power can transform your life and lead you into abundance.
