What happens when the risen Jesus walks through locked doors and says, "Peace be with you"? In this episode of Sermon Brainwave, join Matt Skinner, Rolf Jacobson, and Karoline Lewis as they dig into John 20:19–31, Acts 5:27–32, Revelation 1:4–8, and Psalm 150 to explore what Easter really means for our faith, our doubts, and our witness.

✨ Whether you're preaching, teaching, or just spiritually curious, this conversation offers rich insights into how the Easter message meets us personally—in our questions, fears, and hopes.

🕊️ Spoiler: Resurrection isn't just about an empty tomb. It's about relationship, restoration, and witness.
