Summary

Luke 22:31-34, 54-62, & John 21:1-17

In today’s episode, we follow one of Jesus’ closest friends—Peter. From the quiet upper room, to the dark courtyard, and finally to breakfast on the beach, we’ll hear how Peter made a big promise to Jesus… and then broke it. But the story doesn’t end there. After Jesus rises from the dead, He lovingly gives Peter a second chance. This is a beautiful story of sadness, forgiveness, and hope—a reminder that Jesus never gives up on us, even when we mess up.

Big Ideas for Little Hearts:

Jesus knows we’ll make mistakes, but He still loves us deeply.
Peter denied Jesus three times, but Jesus forgave him and gave him a new job.
Seeing the risen Jesus changed Peter from afraid to brave!
No matter how far we run, Jesus welcomes us back and gives us a fresh start.
