Forgiveness from a grieving father? Friendship between victim and killer? It seems irrational—outlandish even. But it mirrors the most outlandish story of all: the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Doubt can feel like a shadow that follows you, especially when it comes to your faith. Maybe you’ve wondered if your decision to follow Jesus was real. Maybe you’ve even asked, “Am I truly saved?”
Think of those makeover shows where something old and broken is completely transformed—like a house with cracked walls and worn floors turned into a beautiful, welcoming home. That’s the kind of radical change God wants to do in us.
Let’s explore Luke 5, where Simon Peter, a seasoned fisherman, is told by Jesus to cast his nets again after a long, unproductive night. Peter was tired, skeptical, and probably frustrated—but he obeyed anyway. The result? A miraculous catch that nearly sank their boats.
There’s something special about spring in the Lowcountry. The sunshine lingers a little longer, the azaleas burst into bloom, and the fresh air invites us all to slow down and soak it in. It’s the perfect season to reconnect as a family—without spending a dime.
A recent study by Barna found that even though 67% of Americans say Easter is a religious holiday, only 42% know it’s really about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. That tells us something important—many people don’t know the full story. As a parent, you have a special opportunity to help your kids learn what Easter is truly about and why it matters.
