Back to EpisodesHomily | May 22, 2026 | Restored At The Charcoal Fire | (Episode 132)
Description
We slow down at the charcoal fire where Peter once denied Jesus and watch Christ rebuild him with mercy instead of shame. We hear how love becomes mission, how maturity changes our idea of freedom, and why everything depends on Jesus being alive.
• the charcoal fire as the place where Peter’s wound is reopened for healing
• three denials met by three questions that restore relationship
• God returning to the root of failure without shaming us
• Christianity as relationship before performance
• “Lord, you know everything” as an honest prayer for wounded disciples
• love turning into mission through feeding and tending the flock
• freedom maturing into surrender and self-gift
• the resurrection claim as the hinge of Christian hope
• Jesus’ closing command as the way forward: follow me
