Deeply Ashamed | Easter At Fierce

Episode notes

Ever felt that cringe-worthy sting of awkwardness when you've dropped the ball? It's a discomfort that follows us into our spiritual lives, especially during times when joy and celebration are expected. This Easter, we tackle the paradox of God's unconditional love in the face of our shame and how this influences our ability to fully embrace occasions of communal joy.

Let's turn to a figure we all can resonate with – Peter. His experiences after the resurrection are a canvas of human error and divine grace, where his journey from disciple to denier to the restored rock of the church encapsulates our own battles with deceitful hearts and the grace that reaches out to us nonetheless. We dissect Peter's emotional roller-coaster and Jesus’ profound methodology of correction, which teaches us the value of godly sorrow over guilt.
