Episode Synopsis

Peter's journey during Holy Week reveals how faith can swing between bold confidence and paralyzing fear. Initially close to Jesus, Peter displayed remarkable courage, even attempting to walk on water and vowing never to deny Christ. However, when he began following at a distance after Jesus' arrest, his boldness crumbled into fear and denial. This pattern reflects how many believers today struggle with maintaining closeness to God, often due to social pressures or past hurts. The key to regaining spiritual boldness lies in restoring a close relationship with Christ, just as Peter did after the resurrection.
